Valdez regrets to lose Judge Cush- man, whom it has learned to honor as judge anG like as man. During Che two years be has sat in the Third di- vision and has made Valdez his home he has made friends of all with whom he has come in personal contact, as has Mrs. Cushman, and their departure is a distinct loss to the community Miner.
 The Umatilla started from the far North with 105 passengers aboard and arrived at Seattle with passenger list of 1O6. While the vessel was steaming through Unimak pass, June 20, boun- cing baby girl was born to Mrs. H. w.. Lynch, wife of a weR known mining man in the Iditarod. Both mother and child showed no bad effects of the Voy- age when the vessel reached the Sound.
 A Seattle paper says that relatives and friends of Frank Bryant, game warden of Yakima county, are growing fearful that he perished in the Katmai volcanic eruptions. Bryant, with Count von Bergen, from Germany, and B.L Bales, the Alaska guide are known to have been within 20 miles of the scene of the eruption shortly before the ruption, and since chen ne word has come.
 The Daily Alaskan has secured the services of Bert Howdeshell, formerly editor of the Ketchikan Miner, who ar rived in the city Wednesday to take editorial charge of this paper. MT. Howdeshell needs but little iutroduc tion to the people of Alaska. His edi- turials have been more generally quoted than any of the Northiand writers, and in adding him to our staff the Daily Alaskan hopes to perpetuate it's policy of printing the most progressive news paper in the territory.

 Near Nome man named Holt was employed to clean out the Arctic spring, He was of iocular disposition and when he had done his job he said he had found something at the bottom, but he would not tell what it was. This assertion passed from mouth 10 mouth aDd grew as it went The result was that all Nome was listening to, repeat ing and believing story that huge mammoth, in 8 perfect state of preservH ation, had been found at the bottom of the spring.
 Between ninety and hundred In, dians of the Alaskan peninsula living between Cape Douglas and Cold bay have been rendered destitute by he recent eruption of Mount Katmai and are now at Afognak island. W. T. Lopp, chief of the Alaskan division of the federal bureau of education, is arrang ing to ship lumber for twenty-one houses to StepoVak pay, on the penln- sula, by July 10, so that the refugees can be colonized and put in Ii position to prepare for the semi Arctic winter. The revenue cutter service and the de- partment of education are collaborat- ing in this plan. All of the families that have lost their worldly goods will be provided with nets and fishing gear, that they may lay in supplies for the winter The revenue cutter Manning, now in the volcano district, probably will be employed to remove the colony and see the refugees properly estab- lished at StepoTak bay.

 Alleging damage to their shipments while en route to San Francisco from Philadelphia, the Pacific Hardware & Steel company has libeled at San Francisco the Alaska Steamship Com- pany's new vessel Cordova for S35,OOO.
 A new town has been laid out at the head of White river, at the mouth of Solo creek It is called Wiley city, after Bob Wiley an old timer in the district. Some good copper properties have been located on the American side of the boundary.
 Lockwood de Forest, landscape painter of New York, is on his way to Kodiak island and vicinity. He expects to paiut the volcanoes recently in act. ion after which he will visit the Childs and Miles glaciers along the line of the Copper River railroad.
 There is considerable excitement at Nome over the reported discovery of 30 cent pay on Leech creek, in the up, per Kobuk country above the Dahl, Advices received from that district tell of the finding of large area of the rich gravel, indicated by the holes which have been put down at different points on the creek.
 The Canadian Kloudike Mining Co. has started to clear land little below the Ogilvie bridge, on the left limit of the Klondike, on what is known as the Discovery claim of the Bonanza basin placer group. The intention is to dig pits there for the erection of the two mammoth new dredges which the com pany has ordered from the outside.
 "Though seldom as serious as the re- cent disturbances at Kodiak, volcanoes are Frequent in Alaska" said H. Nile, an old Alaskan trader. "Where l was stationed in the Aleutiau islands once saw small new island had been thrown up by volcano in the ocean, For a time the water for long way about it was boiling hot"
 The effort to trace farther out into the flats of the Chatanika river the pay streak of Lower Dome, says Fair banks paper, is bearing fruit. Laymen on the Sourdough Association claim, beyond the Niggerhead group, have just picked up body of pay which, from appearances and values obtained, resem bles that found on the famous Niggerhead claim.
 The stories to the effect that the re. cent volcanic disturbance to the west. ward have killed off all the fish are not borne out by actual results, says the Seward Gateway. While it is true that there are lots of dead birds floating on the water, and for miles out to sea the water is covered with floating volcanic ash, there is no evidence that there will be any shortage of salmon this year.

1 Fairbanks, June 26.-Continuohs heavy rains caused the Tanana and tie Cinema rivers to leave their banks today and the city is partly Hooded. The water is higher at Fairbanks than at any time in the last six years, with the exception of the 1911 breakup. The rivers are rising and it is believed that all flood records will be broken. The only damage resulting today was the destruction of the Cinema river bridge. Terrific electrical storms have put the telephone and electric lighting systems out of business. The home of Cor. pelius j. Harley, president ct the American Bank of Alaska, was strncE by lightning and the hoasetnaid was knocked unconscious, but was not seriously injured. The house was not damaged.
 Under the heading "Ve Ish German" the Whitehorse Star prints the follow ing: Mir. and Mrs. H. Richter, said to be a German count and countess, ar- rived here the latter part of last week, having walked over the railroad from Skagway. They carried their own bed= ding. a pair of blankets and an olicloth to turn the rain, their owu cooking uteusils and provisions, and were week on the way, travelling or remain ing in camp as the spirit moved them, Arriving here they purchased small boat and an outfit and on Sunday murning they started down the river for Dawson. Unless the mosquitos bes come too numerous, they thought they would spend nearly q month on the way to Dawson, camping, fishing and taking life easy. MT. and Mrs. Richter have a home in Vancouver, bat spend much of the time traveling-takins many trips almost similar te that they are now oE,
 Dr. David Ii. Sleem has made a chemical analysis of the ash picked up in Valdez, as we'll as that taken from the deck of the Dora and submits the following results, says the Valdez Prosrector: It is an entirely heatral ash, containing neither acid nor alkalh It is pumice stone in state or pull VeriGation of the rhyolite and trochy- 1 lite varieties. It is a silica and inam- ohpheas powder. Under the micro. scope it appears as small particles of porous glass, and those particles are full of small air bubbles, characteristic of pumice stone, which has about 2.3 or 2.4 specific gravity. This sample was originally an igneous rock and while in state of effusion was emptied into the air like a spray and chilled or con. densed so quickly that it had no time crystallize. The dust is perfectly harmless and inert to plant and animal life, save possibly whatever influence it may mechanically exert. During eruptions such as that of Mount Katmai acid vapors are thrown out, filling the air and attaching itself to these par ticles; these acids, mostly sulphurous and nitrous, caused the deleterious action of the ash which fell here on the plant life, forming, when it came in contact with moisture, nitrous acid This volcanic ash will, in the course of time, enrich the soil, as it begins to de. generate and to be acted upon by the mineral acids found in the air and earth,

One Of the most brutal murders in
the annals Of the city and especially
among us was J, committed on last
Tuesday might by Geo. w. Parker, "a
student In q medical college at Omaha
and also q resident of that city.
Parker Is thought to be insane. For
motives unknown to no one he took a
razor and c1s to death Mrs. Andrew
Jackson, also colored. at her home on
st. Anthony avenue, who was and has
been an invalid for several years, be-
ing stricken with paralysis. Parker
came here from Omaha the first OF the
week to marry Miss De Theme who
was staying at the jackson home. For
some reason the young lady postponed
the wedding, much to the dislike of
Parker, whom some say thought Mrs.
jackson might perhaps had some
thing to do with, therefore wrecking
such vengeance upon the helpless wo-
man. Mrs. Jackson was highly re-
spected In our community. Her hus-
band Is q porter on the Great North
ern and was out on his run when this
happened. He has the sympathy OF
the entire community. Parker is being
held in custody. at the Jail and will
have q hearing next week. The funer-
al OF Mrs. Jackson was held Tuesday
afternoon Jan. 2, at, the Baptist
Church and was largely attended.
