Recent papers from Fairbanks tell of the disappearance of Tom StefensenJ and the conclusion is reached that he was drowned in the Panama river some time in June. Steffensen was princii pally known as labor agitator and took part in most of the strikes in the North for the past four or five years.
 Following an inspection of mines on Shoup bay, near Valdez, Alaska, Her bert and w. H. Brewitt, real estate deal CTS and tailors, 1217 Pacific avenue, have returned tU Tacoma and have ask ed the police to locate J. E. Haggertyr the promoter who interested them in the property, says the Tacoma Tribune. The Brewitt brothers allege that the ore samples Haggerty showed them, and which he claimed came from out croppings on his lodges, were borrowed from other mine owners in Valdez and were not from the property Haggerty was interested in. Haggerty, according to Herbert Brewitt, interested the three brothers, Thomas, Herbert and w. H. in his mining properties with his glow ing stories of the richness of the pros- poets. Haggerty claimed that all he wanted was money enough to develop the mines. He was advanced several hundred dollars on the deal, prior to the time the two brothers went north. Since then he has disappeared. Prior to the arrival of the Brewitts at Valdez on the steamer Northwestern, Haggerty went to Thomas Brewitt in this city and asked for another advance of money. He was refused and dropped out of sight. When last heard of be was in Vancouver, B, c.
 In speaking of Deputy Collector of Customs Garfield, who has just return- ed from trip to the interior. the Idit- arod Nugget says: Fines aggregating in amount the sum of S2,000 were im- posed by Special Inspector c. D. Gar field during his official inspection visit here, upon such owners of gasoline power boats plying in these waters as had not compiled with the provisions of the new law relating to the use of motor boats. The fines ran from s100 to $500, the principal violations being the lack of proper equipment, such aa life preservers, lights, etc. The own CTS of the boats gave bonds for the pay ment of the fines, and Secretary of Commerce and Labor Nagel will be asked to remit them on the ground of lack of information as to the provisions of the new law and the difficulty of get> ting the necessary equipment at this distance from base of supply. MT. Garfield will recommend the remission of the fines, this being the first offense, and without doubt the recommendation will be adopted. In connection with the imposition of fines by the special inspector, story is told on Capt. Blue> berrytommy, we'll known fresh water navigator. Garfield while nosing about the river front met the captain and in. timated that he would like to take pas sage to Dikeman on his ship. "Where'a your licensef" asked Garfield, looking about him. "Ob, that's all 'bullcon'," the sailor man said. "Get right in and I'll take you to Dikeman in jiffy." "T think I'll have to charge you up with Sl00," said Garfield, introducing him. self.

In little talk at Skagway last Suns day night Hon. Walter Fisher, secre- tary of the interior in President Taft's cabinet, is reported as having said he did not think the rates charged by the W. P. & Y. R. are exorbitant. If the honorable gentleman could acquire so much information within twenty four hours after his first experience with the road, riding over it in private car as the vice presidents guest, we shud- der to think how much knowledge he would accumulate after dealing with the same concern for twelve years. On the whole, we do not see why the secre. tary of the interior should not be very much pleased with the w. P. & Y. R. Whitehorse Star.
 The Haines Pioneer Press says: Paul Prick, foreman of the Kensington mine at Seward City, came in on the Rustler Wednesday morning from the mines on business and returned to Seward on the same boat in the evening. MT. Prick says that within a month actual mining will commence, and that big crew will be worked steadily the year around, while the two mile railway will be com pleted within three weeks. These mines are twenty five miles from Haines and with but little effort, a large share of the business that will result from this work could be brought to Haines. We should get busy; we are the nearest point of supply, and tri. weekly boat service between the two points would bring results that would be lasting.
 A special dispatch to the Iditarod Nugget from Georgetown, in the Kus' kokwim district, says: Prof. KiIbuek, formerly missionary and government teacher at the MoraYian mission, at Bethel, and now superintendent of a new district comprising all of the Kus. kokwim part of the Yukon and the coast, for the bureau of education for Alaska, is here on trip of inspection among the natives. Three school houses are being erected this year, one 30 miles above Bethel, and two on Hooper bay. Prof Kilbuck is favorably impressed with the appearance, cleanli- ness and industry of the natives of this region. He examined their gardens and will likely recommend reindeer serv- ice for some point near Georgetown.
 An editorial in a recent number of the Chitina Leader is worthy of careful thought. It says: "Muck-rakers have done for Alaska what revolutioDists do for Latin-American republics. Just as revolutionists in Mexico or Central America create in the mind of the or dinary American investor a reasonable doubt as to the permanency of title to property there, so have the muck-rakers on Alaska created in the mind of the average American an impression that the government is likely to declare at any time that a property owner in Alaska came by bis property fraudu lently and that the whole territory is subject to conflscation by the govern ment. Such seems to be the opinion of President Taft and we believe his opinion is sound. Whatever the ad- ministration has done toward Alaska has been contorted by the scandal mongers in order to make sensational story, regardless of justice or the effect upon the progress and prosperity of the territory"
