THE UNKNOWN COUNTRY.

That there is vast and interesting field for the prospector at the very doors of Tanana, about which there is but lit tie known, is again forciblv illustrated in the present stampede to the Red Mountain country.
 The creek on which the strike is said to have been made, is only about 80 miles north of Panama; yet Jack Felix did not know how long the creek was, nor whether it emptied into the Koyu- kuk or Melozi rivers.
 There has been prospecting in this vii cinity for perhaps 20 years. The croak- CTS declare nothing worth while has ever been discovered in that time, and that Panama will therefore never become a mining center.
 That so little is known of the topog- raphy of the country contiguous to Tan ana clearly shows that this district has not even been explored, let alone pros pected. The difficulty of access to the country north of town is, in a measure accountable for this. But with the very encouraging reports brought in of late, it will not be long before the people will know more of this section of the ter ritory and whether their hopes of the future growth of the city are destined to be fulfilled or not.

MANLEY'S LICENSE.

George HINTON Henry, editor of the Hot Springs Echo-less, is once more in his whispering gallery, shouting out ''pied" sentences purporting to be an attack on Manley's hotel.
 George is never happier than when he can direct the venom of his 'fiery'' edi- torials on someone he thinks is his enemy.
 ] Last winter he kept monotonously pounding away, week after week, on Judge Bevington, roasting him for this and for that in true Hintonian style
 Frank Manley finally remonstrated, so Hinton forthwith marked Frank for slaughter. The opportunity came when the question of renewing the liquor li- cense for Manley's hotel arose.
 Pure in mind and clean in body and print, George discovered that Manley's hotel is very bad place. One would think-to read the echoless-that de- bauchery runs rampant at the hotel and the nights are made hideous by the shouts of the revelers. Henry suspended publication and with several others went to Fairbanks to pro- test against the renewal of the license Alas! Judge Overfeld found that the

Manley hotel was just an ordinary quiet village hotel-large and imposing, but quiet nevertheless.
 Henery returned to Hot Springs sad der but unsatisied man. He blotched out long editorial, which deciphered says "what is, is-no matter what the courts may tbink."
 George Hinton finds solace in batting the district attorney on the cheek, saying that he deserves great praise for taking up the unpopular case"
 In the meantime the disgruntled edi- tor is looking around for someone else to attack, and everyone at the Springs is shaking in his boots.

of a serious break between President
Taft and Colonel Therodore Roosevelt
The president and Mr.. Norton abso-

There is a general belief In Beverly,
however, that Colonel Roosevclt's at

apprehension and misunderstanding
Of the facts. There is also a feeling
here that better understanding will
be had soon. This may be based upon
