Atty. Charles F.. ingersoll has re- ceived letter from Delegate Wick ersham announc ng his willingness to act upon some suggestion which has been brought to his attention.
 One of the imnortant things is to get congress to allow the application of the Trades and Manufactures Acr to include the Forest reserve 10 cer- tain degree. Mr. Ingersoll cited an instance where manufacturer desired to build an establishment here bur could only get lease of the ground in the reserve limits where he desired to build. He considered it impossible to build without vested right and of course did not do so.
 Another thing which needs changing is time of holding district court here. At present il is fixed by the Judge and at his convenience, or not at all if he 50 desires. The injustice of this will be readily seen, especially by those who have cases that will necessitate being taken to Juneau for settlement. Of course a poor man could not take lot of witnesses that far and this inability might defeat the aid of justice.

withdrawal of the nomination of T. R. Lyons for the iudgeshp number reported today. This is the that rules the destiny of Alaska by some right short Whether the charges filed by Geo founded practically the eimina tion of that gentleman from the fight for this plum

Collapse has overtaken the indepen- dent shelter at Ponderay in Idaho. Disaster was inevitable from the be- ginning. A small plant, dependent solely on snelting with a lead base. and having no means for treating matte, had no chance for survival, says the Mining and Scientific Press. Complaints, of discrimination by the railroads are freely made, but with out having in hand specific allegations on this point, we may observe that the regulations approved by the h. terstate Commerce Commission would of necessity operate against Ponderay. The Montana Mine Owners Assoc- ation would have done better to have erected new plant at Helena or Ia coma. They might at least, in that event, have actually competed with. or, in other circumstances. have sold out to the enemy. As it is, they have been paralyzed by 'chill' that bespeaks poorer business Judgment than metallurgicaI ability.

George Curry, of the halbut schoon- CT Malolo, who found the skull of what is supposed to be prehistoric animal, is in the city with portions of the ribs, backbone and limbs of the animal. The skull has been on exhi- bition at the C. ". Young Go. $ store for some time and has attracted a great deal of attention. It has been examined by collectors and measure ments taken. The bones were found on Twin Points cape and opinions differ as to what the animal was. The natives call it Tahn or huge sea lion, from winch the Tahn tribe sprung. Curry claims it is not a specie of a sea lion, and that when the bones are wired together, the animal will be seen to be Of specie now extinct. Juneau Dispatch.

William Michael, American consul general at Calutta has forwarded US d report of the jute exports from India and the processes of manufacture.
 Practically all the jute exports from India passes through the port of Cal cutta. During the calendar year 1906 the value of jute and iute manufactures declared at this consulate-general for exports to the United States was 80, . 709, 426, viz: Gunny bags, s2,0i0, 234 1; gunny cloth sl99, sSl, TOT; jute (raw), B. 7lo, 920: and jute butts and rejec- tioDs, s, 07l, 565.
 Continuing the report says:

 The wages paid to men in the mills range from s2 to g per month, women from sl.50 to s2, and boys and girls from sl to sl.75. These people subsist principally on rice and vegetables

A. Stranb, an arrival on the Ohio, is around town today paying his com pliments to bunch of grafters who in Seattle relieved him of s3j0. Straub arrived in Seattle day or so before the departure of the Ohio and he was landed on py some men who represent ed themselves as agents for the Mine Owners Association in Fairbanks. They gave Straub job and advised tha. it would be safer for him to take their draft on Fairbanks bank than to carry his money around with him. Now Straub has discovered that the draft is worthless, and he is broke. Acquaintances made on the boat will see that he gets to Fairbanks. al dez Prospector.

The Mt. Andrew Mine is about to ship ore to the shelter, TOO tons hay ing gone down down the hill Assay reports show it is the highest grade shipment that has ever been made from this mine.
 Mr. Wm. c. Freeburn superinten- dent of the company came in Satur- day night and informs us that things will be humming along full blast over there soon. Some difficulty and delay have been experienced in starting up, owing principally to the heavy snows.
 The Mt. Andrew Iron and Copper company have some valuable proper ties on the peninsula and they int end a continuous operation of their mine from now on.

The establishment of a quartz stamp mill in Fairbanks is an element of prosperity that Is absolutely unique. Everything is at hand for future of surpassing progress and development. Let us all join hands and advance the interests Of the Panama valley.
 For the past two or three months The News has persistently declared that Fairbanks gave every promise of becoming quartz camp. and from present indications our fondest hopes are 10 be realized. Hundreds of men are searching for the mother lode. and judging from the activity in driv- ing tunnels and the quartz that has al- ready been struck there is every inii- cation that a great future is in store tor this city.
 Considerable capital has already been expended in the development of these properties and as further evi- dence of good faith our public spirited citizens contributed the necessary money 10 purchase and install three stamp test mill. This was put in oper- ation today for the first time, and the pessimist and the ''knocker" hid their diminished heads before storm of enthusiasm, but they are like the grass, which stands erect after the wind has ceased.
 Like the poor, the pessimist is al- ways with US, but there is every indi- cation that his days are numbered, as we are now on the brink of sn era of prosperity such as no Alaska town has ever experienced. Like Othello, the obstructionists have also found their occupation gone. For a time they shrugged their shoulders, hut they are now heinz ignored. and the work of development must be pushed for ward just as if they never existed. Fairbanks News.

h speaking ou the Congressional bill to appropriate money for the pur- pose of bringing home the bodies of American officers and soldiers who die abroad, Mr. Williams of Mississippi shocked the sentiments of some of the mem hers bY saving:
 'Soon after the war between the States the matter was brought to the attention of Robert E. Lee, a South erner and one of the greatest Ameri- cans who ever lived, that a great many southern soldiers were buried on the battlefield of Gettysburg, and the question was being agitated as to their being brought home to be bur jed there. Robert E. Lee replied that he knew of TO better resting place for soldier than the place where he had lost his life in behalf of his state or country. know of no better rest ing place for soldier. I think there is lot of Chinese superstition and maudlin sentimentality about this bus mess. When a man dies, he is dead. If he dies as a sailor, the best place to put him is in the ocean. where he died fighting the enemy.
 If be dies on land as soldier. the best place to put him is where he dies and let the battlefield be his monument.
 I in think ii is ahout time that the most enlightened nation in the world should over comethis superstition as to where it should bury it's dead after the soul has departed from the body and after the spirit that enliyens the body has done its best in order to illustrate his country's record and to distinguish himself as servant of the country"

A dispatch from w innepeg dated March 20 says that seventy two lndi- ans have died from disease at Fort Chippewayna and several hundred the other four posts of the Hudson's Bay company in the Mackenzie river dis. trict, is the startling news brought from the far north by Angus Brabant, insF ector of trading posts for the Hud- sons Bay company in the Mackenzie river district.
 Th5re are nine other posts in the dis trict, " hich will not be heard from until the rivers open in June. The last advces from there were early in Octo- her, and already the scourge had start ed to get in its deadly work. Hunters on the trail were suddenly stricken with it, and trappers in the bush were seized, with fatal results within few hours.
 In a country where some 85 per cent of the people gain living directly from the Hudson's Bay company by the furs they sell, it is serious thing when the fur catch is practically mo- thing.
