The prisoner could easily escape from the tent, but he would be deyoured by the mosquiCos.

 Placer gold in quantities rivaling the finds in the early days of the hlon- dike is being mined by two parties of men on creeks running into the Royu- kuk river, 15O miles from it's confluence with the Yukon, is the story told by George Dunpuy, special correspon- dent of the Paris Figaro, who recently passed through Vancouver, B. C., on his way to France. Dunpuy says the men, of whom there are fifteen, have kept their discovery secret for two years. During that time they have shipped out only enough of the metal to pay for supplies. He also says that the miners in that district have cleaned up S500,000 in the two seasons they have been working the creeks. The characteristic of the gold is it's coarse ness. Nuggets weighing half pound are not uncommon and record was made when five nuggets found in one day had a value of S10000. Eight men shoveling dirt for four hours had cleanup of S15,0C0. "There is no doubt about the correctness of the strike" said Dunpuy. "My informant is in on the layout. He gave me the news on condition that 1 would not make it public until 1 reached the outside. If this information were known in Daw- son and Fairbanks there would be a stampede to the place at once."
 A Cordova correspondent of the &c., attle P.-l., tells of the exciting eXperi- ence of H. Parsons and A. Hill. two prospectors who nearly starved to death with S15,00O in gold dust in their possession. Parsons and Hill had made nice cleanup on their claims at Yaka- taga and decided to take their gold to the bank at Katalla. Leaving Yakataga in dory they proceeded as far as Seal river, where they encountered a dense fog. Fearing they might be blown to sea, they landed at the mouth of the river. As the fog cleared storm came, causing a heavy surf which smashed their dory and destroyed greater part of their provisions. The gold dust had been carefully packed ashore, but the men were miles from any camp and their only hope of reaching civilization was mush of miles over rough coun. try and the swimming of glacier rivers, or perchancea passing fisherman might pick them up. After waiting several days for some chance relief, their scant food supply gave out and they were compelled to make the mush to Ken. muck island, which was accomplished by swimming several glacier rivers and depending on wild strawberries for food. An Indian canoe was obtained at Kennuck in (which the men made the remainder of the trip to Katalla. Throughout the trip the men clung to the gold dust, but declared they would have given it all for "a boat and square meal many times during the trip to Kennuck islsnd.

 The big freighter Edith, of the Alaska Steamship company, docked at Skag way at noon today with 15O tons of gen eral merchandise.

It is expected that the Edith will get her cargo of 330O tons loaded by the middle of next week. This is the biggest shipment of ore to ever leave this port, and marks Skag way as one of the principal shipping points in Alaska.-Skagway Alaskan.

 o. G. Laberee, president of the Alas ka Noorthern railway, contends that the agricultural and stock-growing features of Alaska, especially the Susit- ma and Kuskokwim valleys, have been lost sight of in the mineral develop ment of the country. Laberee presents some data comparing the agricultural resources of Alaska to those of Sweden. Climatic and soil conditions in Sweden are, he shows, identical with those of the two valleys. From some informa; tion furnished by Labaree it is learned that "red top and blue stem yield from two to three tons to the acre, and tim othy as much. Stock men claim that three acres will be liberal allowance for each head of stock year. On this basis, the mountain the mountain val leys and the plateaus of Kenai penin- sula, containing 1,920,O06 acres, exclus- i've of the mountains, would be capable of supporting 64O,0OO head of cattle. On the same ratio the Susitna valley would furnish winter feed and range for 3,2oO,000 cattle, and the Kuskokwim valley 9,6oo,o0o.

 Petersburg, Sept. 7.-At an early hour this morning fire broke out in "Scotty" Stewards building adjoining Hogue's big store and, owing to the inadequate fire. fighting facilities, spread and de- stroyed everything within reach of the flames. When at last it was extin- guished it was found that the loss ag- gregated close to S50,00O, with insurance of not to exceed more than one-6fth of that amount. Hogue's store and the large stock of general merchandise it contained was, of course. the greatest loss. Besides these, the Stewart build- ing and Joe Webber's stock; Dr. Pryor's drug store and newly installed stock; the shoe shop; the restaurant building and half a dozen or so cabins or smaller buildings were consumed.
