AN AGED WOMAN
 WANTS WEALTH

Denver, Oct. 7.--Mrs. Julia Fin ncy, 90 years old, is being heard on her petition i'll the District Court in which she asks for her share in an estate of more than Si ,000,000 in order that she may enjoy the benefits of the will and spend her declining days in com Tort and ease. Mrs. Finley is the oldest surviving relative of Milton Jerome, a steel mauufaclurcr, who died in Chicago in 1886, lcav- ing an odd will, which provided that no division of his estate should be made as long as lhere was any chance of further heirs being born. This provision. Mrs. Finley asserts, has been complied with.

Some very unfair methods are being practiccd by rOadhouse men to divert trade and travel from the Valdez trail, notably by the proprietor of the Willow Creek 'roadhousc, who has not only fenced tho trail as method of deception, but has put up a large canvass prOclaiming that there is live feet of snow on tho Valdez summit and that the road is im- passablc. or course the people of Valdez cannot help it if the roadhousc proprietor wishe to make a liar out of himself and to advertise the fact 10 the pub lie.

it appears that the beaver which had left the Beaver Dam country a number of years ago, have re- turned and are building their dams anew. In all probability the sagacious little animals have read the bulletins of the government in which the killing of beaver is prohibited for number of years, and are taking advantage of the amnesty.

VOYAGE
 IN OLD SCOW
Boring Sea Trader Sailed From the Bay City to Point Bar
 row In an old Scow

Readers of the PrUspeclor will remember short dispatch pub lIshed some time ago of the ar rival at Point Barrow of on an- cIent hay ScOw, after a perilous trip from San Francisco. South ern exchanges bring the follow ing story of the trip:
 Saturday word was received here of the successful termination of one Of the nerviest ventures ever tackled on the Pacific coast. II. C. Slate and Peter Peterson, who left here for the Arctic last May on board the ancient bay scow Alice StOfen, have arrived safe ly at Point Barrow. They lctf here May tG last, both, their friends believed, headed for Davy Jones' locker. They not only fooled Davy Jones, nut had a delightful trip. says the San Francisco Call.
 The Alice Slofcn is a schooner riggcd scnw of l7 tons that was built 16 years ago for service on he bay. Originally the vessel was stout and srrviccable and well fitted for it's work in the shelter cd waters of harbor and river. Never al any stage of it's career would anybody but two hardened irapprrS have considered the Slo- fen as fiI for trip as far out sid" the heads as the FaralIuncs.
 Slatr, who has passed 20 years of his life trading and trapping in the Arctic, wanted to get back | there, and the StOfcn was about the only kind of vessel his means would permit him to buy. He bought the old scow for a song. He provisioned it for a long trip and loaded it with trad ing goods, and May i6, with Peter Peterson for a crew, sailed for the north.
 The only navigating instru- ments aboard the Stofen were a little old compass and a sextant as old as the scow. Slate could not afford a chronometer, and, as he admitted to a friend before sail ing, would not have known how to use it if he had. By means of scxtant and compass he estimat- cd latitude with comparative ac- curacy. For longitude he trust cd, in the words of more con- rcntional navigators, tc "main strength and stupidness." Slate called 1t instinct. He announced before he left that he could smell his way into the Arctic, and as he got there all right il is prob ably true.
 In letter 10 friends in this city, the crew, writing from Point Barrow under date of August IS last. said that they had just ar rived from very pleasant trip. The only bad weather was cncoun- tered in the i8 days it took thcr.' to sail from Kodiak island to Unlmak Pass. In thGt time thev weathered succeSSon of rather heavy gales, but, Peterson writes: "At no time during the three thousand mile trip did We get the decks as wei as i;l"y were whll, wr were being t0w"d tn sea by |; launch."
 The letter says that they sui f"rcd no hardship and got thr;" full and regular share of sleep. For the greater part of inc trip inc wheel was lashcd and Inc
