An effort is being made to learn tbs fate of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Schmidt, who went up to the head of White river in 1909 and intended to go across coun- try to the coast. Rev. R. J. Crimont, S. J., Seattle College, 916 East Marion street, Seattle, is prosecuting a thor ough inquiry in behalf of the two daughters of the missing couple. The appeals sent out by him have caused the fact to become known that they were seen in the mountains of the up- per White river region, and that they were poorly outfitted and incapable of caring for themselves properly. Their horse had died.
 Seward Mate White, of Lynx creek, has just finished one of the biggest jobs ever undertaken by one man in Alaska or any other mining country. He has completed tunnel through solid rock HOO feet long, to draw off the water on Lynx creek, in order to get at the rich placer that lies on bedrock, but which could not be worked on account of the water. The tunnel was started several years ago, and work has been delayed by the fact that White had to get out and work at days work in order to get money to carry out his own plans. He had prospected on Lynx creek until he was satisfied that the big money was there if only some scheme could be worked to drain the creek bottom ef- fectually. When the project of tunnel- ing the mountain was first broached, the idea was derided by almost every one, and no one cared to work on the proposition, declaring that it was im- possible to complete the tunnel with out putting on big crew, and then it would take world of money. Unable to get workmen to take an interest with him and having no money to hire help, White started alone and unaided tin- ished the job.
 It's long jump from Texas cotton field to placer claim in Alaska and not always good jump to make, but J. E. Matthieson, of Sunrise, figures that it was the best move of his life. Ten years ago, discouraged with just barely earning living from year to year, Matthieson decided to make the trip to Alaska and see if he could not make more money mining than the ranch would bring him. He settled at Sunrise and started looking for placer, as it is the cheapest to work and the Mathieson finances are at low ebb. On Resurrection creek he located some ground, which, while it did not pan very high, had some gold in every pan, and then began the long grind of get ting together enough money to buy 8 plant. The three sons helped and every year saw some prospecting done on the ground and something laid aside for the plant. Several times when there was almost enough money on hand to make the purchase, the opportunity would come up to buy adjoining ground, and the chance was too good to be overlooked, and the money would go into more ground until at last the Matthieson family owned twenty-two claims. Late last summer the plant was bought, paid for and installed. This year the old man and the three boys started work as soon as the water started to ruu, and up to the lst of July had cleaned up s6,l6o over and above all expenses,

 Those who believe that the White Pass Railway Go. has the only real lead pipe cinch are asked to read the follow ping extract from an article in the Skag- way Alaskan: If the people of Alaska succeed in having sub-port estab lished at Fairbanks it will mean that the White Pass railway will extend a line of boats for the transportation of freight aud passengers to Fairbanks and the Yukon, and thus not only enter into competition with the transporta tion companies of the interior, who now have merciless monopoly on that bus mess, but it will mean much to this part of Alaska in directing business this way instead of continuing it through the long hauls by the outside passage.
 Last Thursday forest fires threat ened Skagway and destroyed Kern Cas- tie. The Alaskan says: Kern Castle has fallen. A mass of black and smok- ing ruins today marks the spot where the castle and the Swiss chalet have en- tertained sightseers from all over the world. These noted buildings occupied commanding view of the scenery around Skagway Situated OH the mountain at an altitude of 1900 feet they offered a most pleasing retreat for those who sought the romantic in- fuence of mountain life. These re. markable edifices were built by P. B. Kern at a cost approximately of Sl5,0O0. It was his homestead and he pleased his fancy by erecting here reproduc. tion of Swiss scene and hoped to pop ularize the resort as the many places of less beauty are popularized in the Alps.

 J. Barry has just returned from d tifty-two-day cruise on Kuskokwim river on the freighter Bethel. He was as far up the river as Delhi and reports labor scarce, many of the mines being unable to get enough men to operate. He says that all of the country which they passed through was greatly excited over the big gold strike at Aniak.
 A number of counterfeit American silver half-dollar pieces are in circula- tion in Dawson, says the News. Sev- eral have been reported of late, and some have been brought to this office.

 The bulletin of the American Geo. graphical society reports that the ex- petition to Mt.

 Cable advices just received in Seat tie state that the salmon canners oper ating in the Bristol bay district are having good season and that all indi- cations point to large pack of fish.

The Bristol bay pack, canners say, must now be we'll advanced The Bristol bay salmon pack last year aggregated 716,OOo cases, compared with 913,692 in 1910, LAY ,595 cases in 1909, and 1,l7O,285 cases in 1908.
