SAILORS OBSERVE THE DAY
Officers, Crews and Passengers
Follow National Customs.

II u.as Christmas on the sea yesterday
a. v-oll as on land j was Christmas 100
on tho big seagoiug palaces tiea np alohs
the docks Of the North River. Each ocean
liner in port had her saloon Vividly deco
rated with bunting and holly and mistle-
toe. while champagne was served there
and eroc flowed round in the forecastfe.
Officers and their guests gathered about
the festive board to drink 30 kings and
emperors. and crews made merry in the
places allotted to them.
Tho British liners celebrated the day
with roast beef and plum pudding and a
standing health to King George, drunk
with the right foot resting on the chair.
This ceremony was witnessed aboard the
Cunarders Caronia and Campanis and the
Celtic. Of the White Star Line. among
other vessels.
Across the river on the German ships,
the ritual was somewhat different. on the
Kronprinzessin Cecilie, Of the North Ger
man LLOYD Line, there were four Chriss-
mas trees set out in separate parts Of the
vcssel-one for tho officers and engineers,
jn the main saloon: one for the stewards,
in the second cabin. ono for the ilremen
and one for the seamen, forward.
Around each Of these the band played in
turn. and a quartet sang the old Christ
mas Clees u the Fatherland. Then Cap
tain Hogemann went the rounds, drinking
a bumper OF beer at each gathering, and
finally bestowing prize upon the most
tastefully decorated tree. 4 similar cerc-
rnony occurred upon the Hamburg Amori-
can liner Amerka.
IT happened that none Of the large Amer

JOHN CLARK
 THE PROPHET

The Iditarod Pioneer Of June Srd says:
 John E. Clark, who found an ex- ceedingly rich bit of quartz on the East Fork in 1898, has gone back from Dawson to prospect for the sum mer. because he believes the chances for finding rich lodges around Skag- way are better than in any other country he knows of,"
 The above item was culled from the summary of general news of Alaska, Of that issue. and is interesting in view of the fact that Mir Clark did come back. and did SO uot and search for the lead, and did find and locate the Dolly B., claim on one Of the rich quartz leads, of the East Fork, of the Skagway river,
 The further developments Of the East Fork will be watched with in- cressing interest. Other people have since gone out in that section and found good prospects which will re- ceive immediate attention.

The Douglas dock says the Juneau Dispatch. is getting a reputation as a good place to catch halibut. tom cod, soIes and mud sharks. The other night a man was fishing in hopes of catching a meal for the next day when he got what he thought was suag. but on pulling it to the surface found that he was mistaken, as he had a large halibut on the end of his line. It was SO heavy that on pull, ling it to the top, he had to go around on the float to land it On Wednes- day he weighed it to see how much of a fish he had caught. it weighed 259 1-2 pounds. Since then several other large fish have been caught tn- cluding a 1O3-pouud halibut, and three or four mud sharks
