undoubtedly make 8 report of the facts ascertained by him on his triu to the Portage Pass and fully inform the authorities as to the conditions there so far as the construction of a railroad is concerned.
 MT. Deyo. in the past, has endeav- ored to have the government exam inc this route but could never induce those in authority to give it any consideration. The government should not now permit any private interests to control this superb gate way to the interior. MT. Deyo says that much credit is due Colonel O'Neal for having succeeded in gain ing the governments ear and hav- ing informed the proper officials of the feasibility of the plans.-Com. moner.

The Valdez school board is con- sidering the advisability of post poning the opening date of the school term from August 4th to some later time when the present epidemic of whooping cough shall have subsided.
 Capt A. E. Lathrop received let ter in yesterdays mail from Mrs. Fitzpatrick at Victoria, where she recently took her son, William B. Rowe, who was shot by Dan Reeder, for treatment He is now in the Jubilee Hospital, where Dr. Jones made a thorough examination of his wounds, and says that there is no hope of Rowe ever having the use of his lower limbs. There are three bullet holes through the spine and the specialist advises against an oper- ation, which may prove fatal. Rowe is suffering considerable and as he is beginning to appreciate his dan- gerous condition it is feared that he will lose hope and his grit desert him

The other day, said the drummer man went into store to buy g saw. He saw the kind he wanted and asked the price. It was $1.65 the dealer said.
 Good gracious" said the man. q can get the same thing from Sears Roebuck & Go. for $1,35."
 That's less than it cost me-" sai6 the dealer, "but I'll sell it on the same terms as the mai1-order house just the same"
 "All right" said the customer "You can send it along and charge it to my account"
 Not on your life," the dealer re piled. ''No charge accounts. Yor can't do business with the mail-ordel house that way. Fork over ths cash.''
 s.Now 2 cents postage and cent for money order"
 What"
 Certainly, you have to send a let ter and a money order to a mail order house, you know"
 The customer, inwardly raving kept to his agreement and paid thu nickel.
 "Now, 25 cents expressage."
 "Well, I'll be-" he said, bu paid it, saying, "Now hand me tha saw and I'll take it home myself ant be rid of this foolery."
 Hand it to you? Where do yol think you are. You're in Alaska ant I'm in Chicago, and you'll have t, wait two months for that saw" iWhereupon the dealer hung tn, saw on a peg and put the money il his cash drawer.
 That makes S1.67," he said. ''I has cost you 2 cents more and takel you two months longer to get it thai if you had paid my price in the frs place."

Craig, on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, needs school and application has been made to the governor for an appropriation to build a school house and establish a school.
 Craig, which was formerly known as Fish Egg, is less than three years old and the entire island has been plated and most of the lots have been taken. The government is just completing a splendid plank road across the center of the island and the older part of the town is plank ing to intersect it. Water is brought under pressure two miles through an S-inch pipe.
 Craig has cannery that can handle 125,000 fish per day; a large fish freezer and mild cure plant; two general stores with large stocks; a meat market; jewelry store; two bakeries; two barber shops; a saw and blaming mill of 10000 daily capacity. Two more fish packing plants of large capacity will be built this fall and it is claimed that within a year Craig will handle more fish than Gloucester, Mass.

GREAT STAMPEDE ON
 FROM THE TANANA

FAIRBANKS, July 2S.-The wild est excitement prevails here over the reports from the placer gold strike on the Sushanna river tributaries. An army of sourdoughs are on the trail. They will use polling boats from McCarthy's which is the best possible route to the new diggings,s as boats can take men within a few miles of the district.
 The Northern Navigation Company will put the steamer Reliance on the upper Panama as soon as possible. The steamer Dusty Diamond, which sailed from Fairbanks a week ago for the Sushanna became disabled and had to crawl back She arrived here today. The owners are building a new light draft boat which will leave here in about a week with 30 tons of merchandise and all the old timers she can carry. The steamer Tatlin will also sail the coming week for the placer diggings.
 The excitement over the Sushanna strike exceeds anything since the Iditarod stampede and bids fair to eclipse that if favorable reports con- tinue. Men are quitting all sorts of jobs in town and on the creeks to join in the stampede.

The Valdez Commoner reports another strike of rich gold bearing quartz in the Shoup bay district, and gives the following account of the property:
 One of the most substantial min ing discoveries yet made in this dis trict was recorded this week. It was made by Emil Davis, of the Rambler Mining Company, and Billy Wester-
 ey, the well-known prospector.
 On July 12th they located six claims on the opposite side of Valdez glacier from the Cameron-J Johnson property, and it is thought to be the same lead. It will be known as the Ivanhoe group! The ledge is fully seven feet wide, and an assay made of general sample across the face of the ledge shows a value of S45 per ton. Near this ledge is another about IS inches in width, a pure white quartz, assaying $336 per ton. The large ledge can be easily traced | for a distance of more than 1,500 feet. It has distinct, well-defned walls and cuts the formation Hsquarely, running southeast by north west, while the formation runs al- most east and west. The ledge lies between a graywhack and slate con- tact. The discovery point in this ledge is only 150 feet from the foot of the mountain and easily accessible with horses. A splendid water power comes down the mountain side near it.
 I There is a pass in the mountain through which parties travel going from the Shoup basin over to the Olson or Cameron-Johnson properties on the opposite side of the glacier. Passing over this saddle in the noun
 ain, on reaching the glacier one must keep up the Valdez side instead of crossing over the glacier, and after travelling along the foot of the noun tain for about two miles he comes to this ledge discovered by Davis and Westerley. The discoverers will have no trouble to finance their find, as l it is the kind of a property that all investors are looking for, that is, a big body of ore of the value that the assay shows this to carry. Davis and Westerley have returned to the ground for the purpose of bringing to town 200 or 300 pounds of the ore for mill test

The revenue cutter Bear has been

The revenue cutter Bear has been dispatched to East Cape to investi- gate the circumstances surrounding the death of Russian native police man. who is reported to have been killed by member of the crew of the trading schooner Sea Wolf re- gently. According to reports which have reached here from the Siberian side, the policeman was shot because he insisted upon searching the Sea Wolf for whisky, but the stories are conflicting and it is difficult to obtain reliable information concerning the case.
 Baron Kleist, chief executive at Providence bay, Siberia, arrived in
 Nome few days ago for the purpose of inducing the American authorities to inquire into the matter. He insists that the shooting occurred, and his statement is verified by the stories of number of natives who visited East Cape in a trading schooner soon after the departure of the Sea Wolf. l The shooting is denied, however, by the officers and members of the crew of the Sea Wolf who have just arrived at Nome.
 The officers of the revenue cutter
 also will investigate the report that
 the Russian governor commanded
 the American schooner Polar Bear,
 with Louis Lane, an American trader
 any many other passengers on board
 to give chase to the Sea Wolf. This
 report is not confirmed by the cap,
 tain of the Sea Wolf, although he
 admits that the Polar Bear was sighted number of times and ap.
 bearing to be patrolling the sea He
 denies having purposely avoided the
 schooner.

Reports from Port Wells state that high values have been found on the Tatum claims.
 The lead is strong two feet and the rock is literally sprinkled with gold, visible to the naked eye.
 The work so far done by the con- tractors has given depth of 115 feet and the lead has been followed for distance of go feet showing that it continues to carry the same high grade rock all the distance.
 "The work so far done,' says Senator Willard, ''justifes us in plancing a stamp mill on the ground, but we prefer to do more develop ment work and block out more ore so that when we do install a mill we will have plenty of ore to keep it going. The value of the ore blocked out justifies the mill but We have not as yet uncovered enough tonnage.
 The Tatum property was bonded by Senator Willard and his son Ray and they have associated with them, Linderburg of the Pioneer Mining Company of Nome, and also J. E. Chilberg, the Seattle banker and the four have kept the stock the them selves and to date have refused to take others in with them in the venture.

The halibut schooner Idaho was in port this morning on her way out to the fishing banks from Seattle. Her last trip was a good one, 115,- 900 pounds of first-class fish being landed in Seattle all of which con- manded a good price. Harry Fowler of the Idaho while fishing in Cross Sound on the last trip, hauled in the biggest halibut ever landed in Seattle. It was feet, s inches long, 10 inches thick, and weighed 40S pounds.-Ketchika Miner.

So serious has become the short age of water on Seward peninsula that the output of gold for the year may be appreciably reduced from the amount produced in recent years. In last winter penetrated so deeply into the groun that it is thawing tardily, and this delays the progress of the dredges. This latter condition pre- vails in all parts of the peninsula.

Word comes from Valdez of the drowning recently in Mineral Creek, of Herman Magnusson, a brother of Pontius Magnusson, formerly in business in this city.
