Back to the Water.

With view to restore the Miss.
issippl River to use as a means of
transportation company has been
organized to operate line of steel
barges between New Orleans and St.
Louis. The first barge, with a
I2oo-ton cargo, has been towed on
the up-river trip to st. LOUIS and
sent back with return load, showing
handsome profit IN composition
with rail rates. There is small risk /;
the barges are so constructed as to
be practically unsinkable, and when
loaded only draw about seven feet
of water. The tow boats are iron
vessels. The practlcabilIiy of the
maintenance of regular trips back
and forth is assured, the only matter
in doubt being the ability to WIN
back to the river a part OF the
freightage now carried by rail.
This will have to be done in the face
of fierce competition; but water
carrying. once established, would
be of the greatest public benefit.
The outcome of the experiment will
be noted with interest.
1t is now we'll recognized that a
great industrial mistake has been
made in the United States in the
premature abandonment of canal
and river carrying. Some day we
shall wake up to better apprecla-
tion of our immediate surroundings.
There is 2p increasing push in this
direction because of the steadily y
advancing cost Of living. We may
be driven to The extremity of falling
back once more on our fresh-water
opportunities and advantages.

ONE of the latest frauds of magni-

turned in from Chicago last week
when it was announced that a dozen
makers of oleomargarine. many
dealers and one or two revenue
agents had conspired to defraud the
nation, with the result that a neat
sum of 5000, 600 had been stolen.
1t appears that matters of this kind
are being turned almost every day,
aud taxpayers are wondering where
it will all end, or if disclosures OF
this kind will never cease.

Special correspOnderce)

RUBY. Alaska Sept 22-This city has been built as no other city in Al aska was ever built before with the came showing on the creeks, and a new stampede hitherwaris has set in from all the camps on the Yukon.
 The reason for this apparent con fidence in the future is not so much the effect of what has already been discovered. as it Is the outcome of the belief that no camp could make such a showing with so small an amount Of prospecting, without hold ing out great promise for a future under more favorable conditions. In other words We have not yet found very much gold but all signs point to almost certain success.
 The reason for the uew excitement Is the discovery Of small pay on Glen Gulch. about three miles from the or iginal discovery on Long Creek. This pay Is found on the whole gulch which is about two miles in length
 Within the past two or three days more than two hundred people arrjy 1 here. principally from the Ijitarod which is in fair way to be deserted by the majority Of it's people
 Ruby City has now solidly built Front Street running half a mile along the bank or the Yukon and built on both sides. Second Avenue Is now being built up. as abrupt bluffs prevent the extension Of Front Street in either direction.
 Hundreds of prospecting boilers have been shipped in and a tremend- ous amount Of prospecting win be ca ried on. Probably before New Years the fate ot the camp will come pretty near being decided. The population of the camp would amount to about 800, including many of the fair sex, who are now arriving to join their husbands.
 The people who know the creeks are confident. but. needless to say, some who come in as strangers have doubts these doubts are strengthen ed by Jbc thought that the diggings are 80 miles away. over poor trails.
 In month or two one side or the other will be saving "I told you SO" And there the new camp is at pre- sent Solid snow trails for the trans portauon Of machinery are necessary and patience is a virtue.
