II may be able - land a suitable player
before next spring. but there is nothing
certain about it. ! am in touch with sew
eral propositions which may pan out
There are one or two hard hitters in the
National League whom ! might obtain.
but while the clubs who have these play
ers are willing to let them go for a con-
sideration. it Is questionable whether 1t is
possible to get them out of the league
because Of the waiver rule. But / am not
overlooking anything, and perhaps after
the two annual meetings of the major
leagues are over I will be in position to
give some definite information. If we
can get q hard-hitting outfielder we will
have something to say about where the
next pennant shall be raised
It is pity that so brilliant fielder as
Howard ShankS does not have more hit
ting ability. AS a fielder the Monaco
boy has few, if any, equals and while he
shows occasional flashes at the bat that
give hope, he is hardly consistent enough
in his hitting to fill the bill. And yet
there is a chance of his improving. Last
season was his second in fast company.
True, he did not show any marked i'm
provement with the bat over the previous
year, but he was greatly handicapped by
a series of accidents which prevented him
from playing regularly. 1t is therefore
only fair to assume that Shanks still has
chance to show to better advantage as
a batter, in which event it would not be
an easy matter to find a better man for
the team.
Griffith admits that he fails to under
stand the inconsistent stick work of Ed
die Ainstnith. There are times when the
young catcher looks to- be the best hitter
on the team, and then he will go through
a two-week period without getting a hit,
and do lot of striking out Grin has
come to the conclusion that the best way
to get results from Ainsmith Is to work
him oftener.
Last season he really used him only
when johnson was pitching, but next sea-
son Ainsmith is slated to do the bulk of
the work behind the bat, because Griffith
believes that his speed will be of help to
the team, and. BESIDES he may develop
into a good hitter when worked more reg
ularly.
There is no reason for taking the Fed
eral League seriously so far as becoming
a real opponent of the major leagues is
concerned. 1t is easy enough to start
lot of stories about signing major
league players during the winter months,
but when 1t comes to actually having
these players report it is quite different
proposition. Ball players are not IN the
game because of any sentiment 1t Is a
business proposition with them. and they
will go where they not only get the
money, but are sure of getting 1t. A

William G. Evans, the mining engl- neer, who will have charge of the ex- traction of coal for testing purposes in the Matanuska fields, made brief trip of reconnaissance to the coal fields and is enthusiastic over the great veins of high grade coal avail able.
 It is understood that A. c. Frost, of the Watson group, has placed SUD- plies, material and mining equipment now on the ground at the disposal of
 the government party, rendering it unnecessary to transport but a few
 tons of food stuffs from Knik to the mines.
 Several parties in Seward, Valdez and Knik will offer bids for hauling the coal from the mines to tidewater. There is some talk of organizing a
 company to bid on this contract, with a view of doing the work at a mini mum cost to the government, in order that a good showing may be made. Two gentlemen of means offer to con-
 tribute literally to this end.-Seward Gateway.

great Treadwell mines on the island
 have long been famous for their low
 costs. In January last, the group
 produced and treated 12S,5S3 tons
 of ore. The average cost for the
 whole group of mines, including con- struction account, was s1.27 per ton. This is the more notable from the fact that operating costs are highest in the winter, when the minimum of water-power is available and the snow and cold introduce other con- plications. Actual operating costs in the summer months have been brought to below 80 cents per ton, and with additional development of water-power and completion of an extensive construction program, low costs the year around are to be ex- pected. The change from shipping to it's treatment by cyanidation and the development of a main hoisting shaft have brought costs down 25 cents per ton within the past two years.

Escorted by the members of the city council, his fellow employees of the railroad company, the business men and practically the entire popu- lation of the city, the remains of the late L. M. Price were borne to the steamer, which is to take the body to Seattle, at 11:3O this morning.
 From II o'clock until 12 all the business houses of the city closed their doors, and for two hours, from 10 o'clock to 12, the railroad shops were closed and all work suspended as a token of respect to the deceased.
 Arriving at the wharf, Rev. Zeigler offered up a prayer and Rev. Koonce read the benediction, after which the casket was placed in the dramatically sealed box and placed aboard the steamer. The pail bearers were Geo. c. Hazelet, A. E. Lathrop, M. Finkel- stein, R. J. DeLeo, Archie Field and H. N. Wilson.
 Mrs. Price and son accompanied the remains to Seattle, where the interment will take place. She was accompanied by Mrs. Caleb Corser and R. J. Boryer.

All that remains to be done to the Alaska boundary survey, according to D. Craig, head of the Canadian end of that work, is to mark about so miles of the Hist degree of longitude in the White river and Chitina country. That work will be finished this summer. "This season will probably witness the completion of the survey of the Alaska boundary line along the one hundred and forty-first meridian from Mount St. Elias to the Arctic ocean, separating Alaska from the Yukon territory. The work all the way from the Yukon to the Arctic was finished last year. The last gap, now being covered by parties representing the United States and Dominion govern ments, is only 80 miles long. It ex- tends through the White river and Chitina river districts"

The remains of James Travis were recently found by searchers in se- cluded spot on Latouche Island. The skull was crushed in, and this ugly death wound indicates that the vic tim met with foul play. A motive for the possible murder is the fact that Travis usually carried several hun dred dollars on his person. Suspicion points to no one in particular as responsible for the killing.
 A month ago Travers left the settlement of Latouche, in small boat, enroute to the south end of the island. He outfitted for a four-day trip. His continued absence caused alarm and a searching party was formed, which led to the finding of the body.

Fred Nichols, proprietor of the Yost roadhouse on the Fairbanks Chitina trail, is branching out in business, having recently made the purchase of the Paxon place on the Valdez side of the Delta summit. The consideration of the deal is not mentioned.
 Mir. Nichols has been running the place known as Yost's on the Delta for the past winter. That place is 151 miles from Fairbanks and Pax sons place is IS miles further on. The places being so close together will make it easy for their pro- prietors to handle them the coming winter with little help.
 There is a general store also at Paxson's which MT. Nichols bought along with the roadhouse. At this store and roadhouse the hungry trav- eler can get supplies throughout the year for himself or beasts. There being postoffice at Paxson's now, mails will be delivered twice per month from that point to Slate creek, and to Valdez creek. A mail route is said to. have been estab- lished recently between Gulkana and Paxson's, over which mails will be taken in the summer, as well as to the aforementioned creeks.

Judge F. M. Brown met with the members of the bar and decided that it was best for litigants that two fixed terms of court be held each year: one the first Monday in March and a second term for the second Monday in Octoberfi which this year will be October 18th.
 Under this rule it will be possible for those having business before the court to arrange their affairs in ad- vance, knowing that terms of court will be held on the above dates. It was also decided that applica- tions for liquor licenses could be heard at any time in chambers if no protest is made and public hearing would be given in event of opposi- tion being made to the granting of the application with notice given to both sides in advance.
 A committee consisting of T. J.
 Donohoe, E. E. Ritchie and R. J. Boryer were appointed by the judge to revise and improve the present rules of court practice.
 J. c. Martin was appointed as jury commissioner, and with Clerk
 of the Court Lang will draw all juries to serve in the district court The law provides that the com
 missioner shall be of the opposite political faith as the clerk.

.0F GENERAL INFORMATION

Rev. Hudson Stuck. Episcopal Archdeacon of the Yukon missions who organized and lead the expedi. tion that accomplished the ascen- sion of Mt. Mckinley, is a son of the Sunny South. and halls from Texas, that state of big things. He was dean of the Episcopal cathedral at Dallas, Texas, before coming to Alaska about ten years ago, under appoint nent by Bishop P. T. Rowe, as Arch deacon of the Yukon. He is in the prime of his vigorous manhood, about 45 years of age, and an ln- domitable chaarcter that has for gotten from non-use the meaning of the word failure" His duties in Alaska have taken him up and down the Yukon river, the Porcupine, the koyukuk and their tributaries. into the hooks and corners of the vast areas of the great Interior of Alaska. in all seasons and all sorts and con- ditions of weather. He has learned how to do things from much experi- ence. and is just the sort of man to do what he has done.
 Harry Karstens, to whom Arch deacon Stuck has generously given the credit for the success of his ex- petition, is we'll known young busi- ness man of Fairbanks, associated with F. w. Whiteley in an expert accounting, real estate and general brokerage business. He is young, athletic, enthusiastic and part of the new Alaska tribe of men that are growing up in the North such as every Alaskan knows without fur ther description.
 Robert G. Tatum and Walter Har- per, the other members of the expe- dition, are not so we'll known out here. but they were selected by Arch deacon Stuck and Harry Karstens, his chief adviser, and that is equiva- lent to saying that they were the men for the job

It is reported, upon authority deemed unquestionable, that the Gug- genheims have dropped their option upon the Midas Copper property near Valdez. Work on the property has been stopped and the machinery now on the ground will be dismantled and shipped to some of the other prop critics of the company.
 The Midas, which is located in Solomon basin, about four miles from Valdez, is owned by Valdez parties parties and has given evidence of becoming large producer, but it had been by no means developed into a mine, although the owners had done a large amount of development work on the property, and the Guggen- helms, since they took an option on the claim about year ago, have spent about $50,000 in further de- velOpment. Some excellent ore bodies, of considerable size and carrying above the average of copper contents, have been opened up under the direc- tion of Superintendent Dunkle. Under the terms of the option large pay |ment would become due early in July. On his visit to Valdez few days ago, Stephen Birch, general manager of the Guggenheim mining properties in Alaska, visited the Midas, and finding the development had not progressed to the point desired, asked the owners for an extension of the time in which to make the payment. This was re- l used, and as consequence Mir. Birch ordered the work on the property stopped and has thrown up the
 option.

"Condtions in Alaska are distress ing to the last degree" said Earl Rogers in Los Angeles, who arrived in Seattle recently after what he characterizes as ''the most wonderful trip I ever have taken" Rogers is said to have tried more murder cases than any other man living. He was attorney for the de- fendants in the San Francisco graft cases, and recently gained great prominence by defending Clarence Darrow in the Bain bribery action and Guy Eddie, deposed city prose- cutor of Los Angeles for alleged contribution to the delinquency of a minor.
 He was to have represented Dar- row in the second trial but collapsed before the jury had been empaneled. After four months in a hospital he was permitted to travel with the hope that change of scenes would be beneficial.
 ''I do not see why anyone would want to go to Norway" he said, "when the trip to Alaska is so easily accomplished and yields so much pleasure and is of such educational worth.
 "I do not see why the government should conserve this coal for the use of our great grandchildren when we do not know that they will want any coal or have any use for coal. By the time it is released to them they may be heating by some chemical process.

At present a man in Alaska who has coal in his front yard is not permitted to use 1t,
 but must ship fuel from British Columbia points,"
