Evert Nymanoyer. who is stopping at the Occidental while waiting for passage to Sitka, came lately to Alas ka from the Southern Hemisphere. At Rotorua, the Yellowstone Park of New Zealand he paid a visit to Maori chief, whose body was half tattooed. and purchased from hm a punamu Cso-called green diamond, or iade), for a pendant which he now wears. On entering the chiefs resi-. dence Mir. Nymanover was greeted thus: "Tannargwi Pakcha Parkchar," which means, Good morning, Mr. White man"
 Honolulu, the traveller says, is the finest city he ever has visited. The climate is ideal to perfection, "but the natives suffer complete extinction at the hands of a small bunch of white missionaries. who came there about ninety years ago There are over 6O,, 900 Japenese and about SO,OOO Chin csc in Hawaii, all slaves. The Ha- waiians number something like SO,, 900.
 Queer" Mir. Nymanover remarked, the whole civilization from Alpha to Omega of historic white man, means the most exacung, relentless, cruel slavery to every body, save the elect rich And this mastodon contempro- rary seems to always find green pas lures ready; as for instance, in Hawaii. not to mention continental America itself, a world of tragedy for gotten. and still so remarkably fresh. Scientists talk of somersaults in the Terra Firma, etc, but here we see the very same happening in that remarkable conglomeration, people call the social fabric of man."

The launch Corsair, which was wrecked at Katana while unloading freight from the Bertha, is a total loss. Two men who have been try ing to salve tue engine have been severely burned by an explosion of gasoline which finished the wrecking of the boat. says the Valdez Miner,
 Fred Muller one of the men en' gagged in trying to save the engine was so badly burned by the explo' sion that it is doubtful if he can re- cover.
 Most of the freight was washed on the seows during the storm. and what little has been recovered is damaged by water. The COrsair was on fire for some time before going on the rocks.
 Al. Ness. who was killed, was in the engine room fighting fire, and when washed overheard 1t is believed, the sudden chill killed him, as the body was recovered ten minutes later where is was washed ashore. It is claimed death was not due to drown ing.
 Nothing is known as to what Di- rector Holmes will do to replace his supplies, now lost for the second time.

Of all the mastodons ever found the one recently uncovered on Conee creek in Kougarok district seems to beat the record. The work of dig ging out the skeleton has proceeded far enough to ascertain that the tusks are 12 feet inches in length. The preservation of the hair of the brute is considered to be most re- markable. Some of the tundra sur. rounding the skeleton has been brought to Nome. It carries large uauntity of hair which has remained intact throughout the ages since the giant beast died.
