Major Cum is a pioneer of Alaska and was at one time, in charge of the pos5 tai service in the North.

 Katalla is.coming to the front again; this time because of the iuterestin oil properties iu that vicinity. Several companies are preparing to make eX tensive improvements in the spring. The Amalgamated Oil company has cleaned out the No. well and the oil flow was so strong that it flooded the castings and gas pipes, and all fires had to be extinguishad to prevent it catch iug fire and destroying the plant.
 The people at Fort Yukon feel that they are out of the woods as far as the danger from smallpox is concerned, for the Canadian government has been en- forcing the most stringent quarantine up at Rampant house, in the Porcupine. To date there have been eighty-seven cases of smallpox in the Porcupine and it seems unlikely that the disease will die out until all of the natives have had it and recovered. On the Yukon and it's tributaries all the In. dians that could be reached have been vaccinated.
 The high grade coals of the Matan- uska valley, Alaska, are the subject of timely report just issued by the United States geological survey. The Matanuska coal field is the area to which Secretary Fisher recommended that government railway be built, and the geological survey report, with accompanying detailed maps, showing the areas uuderlain by coal strata, the most feasible routes for railway ap- proach, and other specific and authori tative information, constitutes a valu- able contribution to the present Alaska fuel problem.
 For the Alaska cruises of 1912, the Pacific Coast Steamship Go. is remod cling and rearranging the entire pas, senger accommodations on the steam ship Spokane. Every detail is being carefully planned with view to equipping the steamer for sight seeing service in Alaska and to suit the re- quirements of the high class passen- gers who annually take advantage of the opportunity afforded by these cruises. The steamer Spokane will have accommodations for 195 first class passengers. Among the improvements will be noted additional bath rooms, bringing the total number of bath rooms up to eleven, two for general use of men, and two for general use of women, seven connected with private rooms,

Murray Potts, of Vancouver, B. C.. is an old Klondiker, and tells the fol- lowing: "The champion hard luck story happened to a friend of mine who staked claims on Sulphur creek. The son of a wealthy powder manu- facturer of Hamilton, Ont, he started North with S1O,OCO. He fell in with the "Soapy" Smith gang. was relieved of all but small wad he had tucked into his,boot, and proceeded into the gold diggings. He crosscut every l2 feet and sunk holes to bedrock for dis tance of mile on Sulphur creek, a work in which he was engaged for a year, and he never got a color. After completing this job.he was taken. down with sc1rvy. He was in the hospital for three months. When he was able to travel my friend returned to Ham, ilton, thoroughly disgusted. A Scandi- navian later secured control of one of his claims on Sulphur. My friend had failed to go to bedrock in one place, mica shist being what he took for the real article. The Scandinavian went through the mica deposit to actual bedrock, and took out 825o,ooo the first year, and similar amount for several seasons after that. The claim was lower 39 on Sulphur, one of the richest individual claims of the Klondike,

Says the Seattle P-I Capt. F. B.. Kleiuschmidt, who was a passenger on the schooner Polar Bear last sdmmer and who obtained in the North moving pictures of wild life which are difficult to duplicate, showed half of his films before large and appreciative au- dience in the public hall of the Press Club last night. The program began with pictures of myriads of geese and other wild birds in their summer breeding places. Other films and slides showed the hunting of sheep on the Kenai peninsula and views of Eskimo life afoat and ashore. A thrilling story in moving pictures was that of huge mother polar bear, se- cured at inaccessible Wraugell island. The mother took her cub for swim. The cub cluug to it's mothers tail to be lowed through the water and was soundly cuffed for this imposition. When the men on the Polar Bear las soed the cub, however, the mother fought frautically to save it, biting and fighting at the rope and leaping at the schooner. The story ended when the cup was released and the two bears swan away together.
