Wonderful Record .

Figures already quoted from the report
of J. Craig Smith, president Of the con-
Wet department, show that this branch
of the service is making wonderful sue
cess and earning vast sums for the
state. The total net returns of $1,7O6,-
ea5.s7 for four years is a showing that no
other state In the Union has been able
to make. In fact most of the states
have found 1t hard to keep the outgo and
income In the care of convicts together.

of this meeting was made
through the columns of the Mobile Daily

with the demonstration farm work of the

suit of this meeting, 1t was voted that
the Cotton exchange should undertake to

From present indications we may ex-

Mr. Pierce will return to Alabama ear

 A discovery was made last summer near the head of the Chittyna river which bids fair to rival in value the richest of the gold strikes which have been made in the country. The find consists of an immense body of iron ore made by Chris Tjosevig, and has been kept quiet pending negotiations for the sale of the property. The ore consists of hematite, aud is so far as known, the first body of this ore found on the Pacific coast north of Mexico.
 This part of the country has certainly seen all kinds of weather in the past few days, says the Whitehorse Star of the 16th inst. From zero the tempera- ture went to 20 below last Saturday night and by Monday morning it was 47 below at this place.

The river was not frozen over to great depth and consequently the water flowed freely, preventing jams with the seri- ous results that would have followed. Alaskan.

E. J. Stier. formerly clerk of the court at Fairbanks and later engaged in mining in the Hot Springs district, has been appointed special deputy mar. shal at Iditarod City and is employed by the business men to watch over the behavior of the town during the night
 Commissioner G. c. Vim, of Juneau, has issued a warming to ministers re- garding the marriage of natives under age.

 As a result of one of the worst de- ! bauches on record in Alaska three men who have been engaged in chopping wood on an island opposite town are dead, horrible agony characterizing the last hours of two of them, says a dis patch from Fort Gibbon The dead are George Iceland, Joe Hamliu and Nap oleou Lacassel, old DawSonites, and they were employed cutting wood for Andrew Vachon.
 Nature has been prolific in her gifts to the region for which Knik is the cen ter of population. Aside from the bounteous vegetable and forage crops each year raised in the vicinity, the fuel supply is abundant.

The coal is washed down the MataDuska river and carried across the Arm and de- posted on the Ship creek side.-Seward Gateway.
 It is stated that Mccormick, the reindeer man of the Kuskokwim, will bring over to Iditarod bunch of deer during the early part of the coming year.

Mo- Cormick has been supplying the h. noka valley with reindeer meat for sev' eral seasons, but this year there is said to be enough fresh beef in sight to sup ply the people there with all they will need next winter.-Iditarod Nugget.
 That the only legal point involved in his case is the right of an Alaska coal land claimant to agree to sell, or of any citizen to agree to buy, such claim prior to or under the provisions of the Alaska coal land act of 1908, is contended in 8 statement issued by Donald A. McKen- zie, who was arrested iD New York on a requisition from Spokane, Wash, and released under S25,0OO bonds. Mo- Kenzie was indicted by the federal grand jury of Spokane, with four others, on the charge of conspiring to procure title fraudulently to 2,000 acres of Alaska coal lands in the Kataila dis trict. The government contends there was violation of the sections of the act of 1908 prohibiting agreement to buy or sell coal lands prior to the com pletion of entry. MT. Mckenzie regards the case against him as virtually test of the governments position on Alaska coal lands.
