Talking of Ants

"Talking of ants," he said, "we've got lem as pigs as crabs out West. I've seem lem fight with long thorns, which they used as lances, charging like sav- ages"
 "They don't compare to the ants I saw in the East," said an inoffensive individual near by. "The natives have trained them as beasts of burden. One of lem could trail ton load for miles with ease. They worked willingly, but occasionally they turned on their at- tendants and killed them"

 "Elephants," said the quiet man.

DawsOn.-The Yukon Gold Com pauy's great water ditch is proving a splendid technical and economical suc- cess. Since the water was turned into it. for the first time, which was early in June of this year, it has been running almost without interruption, and the giants on Lovett gulch, which it IS feeding, are tearing down thousands Of yards of the gold filled gravels from their resting places of ages. The ditch is sixty two miles long, aud at no place has the water found opportunity to escape any considerable time. The pipe sections, the Hume portions and the natural ditcbing through the earth have served admirably. There have been a mum ber of leak, and defects here and there, but the percentage is reasonably small, and c. 4. Thomas, resident manager, states thar the ditch has given service fully 90 per cent. of tbe time since the day the water was first turned ill. The ditch has capac- iry Of 5000 inches, but is carrying this s, ,a~ou only 2.800 inches. This is be- cause the extension is not finished to the point where the additional quantity is to be used, and for the reason that it is desired to let the ditch puddle under the easiest conditions and to keep the banks free from the heavier and more volumiuous wash until they have every opportunity for gradual settling. One hundred and fifty to l15 men are scat tered along the siXty-two miles of ditch at sixteen camps, doing maintenance work. Each camp is connected with telephone, and the whole line thus is in touch with the headquarters build ing, Dawson, even to the intake at the head of Tom bstone creek, a tributary of the Twelve-Mile. At a number of places as far as Lepine creek, water Is picked up from the small streams and added to the main ditch, to compen- sate for the loss from leakage. The extension from Lovett gulch to Gold hill, now under construction, is twelve miles long. It will be finished in Sep Der, making an aggregate of seventy two miles of ditch and pipe line be- tween Tom bstone intake and the farth- est reach of the system. A thousand men are on the extension. None of the steam shovels used last year are in use this season. Two hundred horses and scrapers are in service. The highest trestle is up, and spans Bonanza at 25 below, where the main ditch will cross to the left limit of Bonanza. It is 40 feet high. The sev- eral other trestles also are up from Twenty Mile to Lovett.

E. J. Edwards, for many years writer for great New York newspaper has now written an article entitled "Yaukee Leaders of the New Era of Expansion," in which he throws some light on the present visit of men high in the financial world to Alaska. He says that by September there will be an interesting story to tell of the re
 suits of their investigations, and there will be work commenced having in view the development of Alaska in a way undreamed of, even few years ago. The Guggenheims, the represen. tatiVe of Baron RothsChild, and George w. Perkins, representing the
 Morgan group of capitalists, are DOW in Alaska to see with their own eyes and to confirm the reports of their agents. The Guggenheims are espe- cially in copper and coal. MT. Per kins has in mind chiefly the railroad situation; while the Rothschilds stand ready to pour millions of European capital into the territory if the investl
 gations now under way are. favorable to such a move. The opening of the gr eat copper mines and still greater coal fields of Alaska; the construction of railroads which will not only per. init of the economical development of these properties, but by cheapening and facilitating transportation into the interior, will open the way for further
 pros Specting and developing of all of the resources of that great territory, are among the things which will be seen in the near future. The eXpen- allure of millions, as is contemplated, in Alaska, means the creation of tens of millions of new wealth and the most wonderful expansion of Alaska and of he entire Pacific Northwest.
 The announcement made by pr. H. s. Pritchett, of the United States Light house Board, that he will recommend more lighthouses for Alaska as the re- suit of his recent inquiry into condi- tions along the coast, will be reassur- ing to men who are interested in the carrying trade between the states and the northern country. For some time there has been a persistent and earnest demand for more lights along the coast of Alaska. Dr. Pritchett's inves- tigation into conditions along the coast was sufficient to convince him that the demand was perfectly just, and in bis report to the lighthouse board he will probably indicate where the additionalI lights are to be placed, It may be that the government will not go as far now as it ought to in providing aids to nav igation in Alaska waters; but the time is not far when additional aids to navi- gation must be provided, and Dr. Pritchett explained why it would be necessary when he said although . "Alaska has given up many fortunes" yet with proper development lit stands ready, to my mind, to give up twice as many more." In the meantime the proper federal authorities ought to consider the need of making naviga- tion between Alaska and the states as safe as possible and as convenient as possible. Commerce between Alaska and Seattle is now of great value and is growing. Steps should be taken aforetime to provide reasonable safe guards for the men engaged in this commerce, and at the same time to afford property the degree of protec tion it ought to have.-Railway & Marine News.
