that the state department was not yet

 Aboard tbe Alaska Coast company's liner Admiral Sampson on her last trip south was a shipment of eighty tons of volcanic ash, a new commodity which has just made it's appearance in the mauifests of vessels from Kodiak. The ash. which was thrown off by the eruption of Mount Katmai, it has been discovered, is easily made into a fue metal polish, and there is a big demand for it..
 The explanation given for the govern ments determination to hold the an- nual sales of sealskins from the Prib- ilov islands at st. Louis instead of London is that "the government is un able to figure out why American skins should be lugged over there for a mar ket, when most of them are finally worn by American womeu." Perhaps the fact that the London methods of dress ing and dyeing sealskins are trade see crets not successfully copied in this country as yet, and that the destination of the skins, no matter where sold, is to London for these treatments, may have something to do with it.
 The Sea Wolf has just returned to Nome from Siberia, where she was storm bound in St. Lawrence bay dur ing the blow and had a narrow escape, picked up part of log of an unknown vessel. The copy in typewriting tells of bad leak with the water rising in the hold at the rate of four and one half inches per hour in spite of pumps. The log also made reference to Cape Wainwright and other points northerly of Nome. The vessels log was found in St. Lawrence bay, and it is the opinion it might be one of Stefausson's fleet, they being the only vessels known to be equipped with typewriters.
 W. c. L. Beyer known as the "BiR Chief" among the Indians, and who has dealt with them for years and has prac tical knowlege of their affairs and modes of living, believes that the best way to stop the liquor traffic am Ong the Indians is to allow them all the rights of other American citizens, says the Valdez Miner. "For instance" he said, "the present system places a premium upon whiskey peddling and the manu. faoture of 'rotgut' in illicit stills. If placed on patrol duty all the govern ment officials in Alaska could not cover Che wide isolated sections wherein the Indians dwell. Thie idea of coddling and mothering the Indians is a mis take. Let the Indians walk openly into saloons and get their liquor the same as white people and punish them just the same when they get noisy or drunk and there will be a less percentage of drunkenness among them. The present system practically forces them to be come uhe prey of the lowest type of oriental and white whiskey peddlers. The Indians of Alaska, as a whole, are of a high type, and will be able to hold their own in the struggle for existence ! # given half show"

 After sitting on the fence and watch. ing stampeders pass this way to Chis-' ana all summer, Whiteborse now has placer excitement just outside of her. front gate. And it looks good, too, says the Star. Friday of last week. George M. Stevens, one of the pioneer miners of Southern Yukon, came to. Whitehorse and quietly informed few of his friends of a discovery-three discoveries, in fact-wbich he had made in the vicinity of Dugdale lake, ten miles south of town, one on Wolf creek, the other two on old river beds iu the same vicinity. Stevens, who has valuable quartz holdings back from Robinson, twenty two miles up the railroad, had first "wised" the Wheaton miners of bis discoveries and six or eight of them staked Friday of last week. George Armstrong and c. A. Mowry "took a walk" Sunday and staked on Wolf creek and one of the dry beds. Monday morning Capt. P, Martin, Geo. Curtis, W. A. Puckett and E.J. White went out on the train and staked on Wolf and Extension. (As none of the four weigh less than 200 pounds, the discoverer did not ask them to enter the free for all race for claims. By Monday evening the whole town was excited. The news had been whis cred around that a discovery had been made and that several claims had been already staked By o'clock that night between thirty and forty men were hiking southward. Some on horseback, some in wagons, oome on handcars, but the majority on foot professional men, mechanics, laborers, loafers, rich men, poor men-but no beggars or thieves. Those who used horses and handcars beat some of the "mushers" only by few minutes, but all st ked claims and tired and weary men were wandering back to town from 8 o'clock in the morning until noon of Tuesday. About a dozen went on Tuesdays traiD and secured claims "away up the creek" and that night a delegation from Tokio hot-footed it out and staked further up and within the shadow of old Golden Horn, In all nearly one hundred claims have been staked and others will be staked. The small amount of prospecting done on the creeks justiies the stampede. Ex- perienced miners who have banned in the first hole-a mere surface scratch  made by Stevens on Wolf creek-say the dirt would wash an ounce per day to the shoveler if sluice boxes were used. From ss to 312 per day is the estimations placed on the other two creeks-whioh are not creeks, only dry creek beds.

The Canadian government is con- fronted with a new problem, according to a late report from the Peace river country. During the rush to the Daw son country in 1s97-98, a great many of the pioneers travelled through the Peace river on the famous Edmonton trail. Many had horses which they were forced to abandon in many in. stances. Now the Canadian ministry of agriculture has been requested to take steps to protect the settlers against Che depredations of wild horses. It ap- pears that these horses have made raids upon the ranches of the new set- tiers m the Peace river valley, killing domestic horses and leading others away which have been imported at con- siderable expense. The wild horses are supposed to be descendants of the horses abandoned during the gold rush.
 Plans and specification are being pre- pared by l.. E. Geary, naval architect, for a cannery tender for the Pacific American Fisheries, of South Belling- ham, which will be equipped with 100 horse power marine Deise engine, says a Seattle paper The new vessel is to replace the cannery tender Jack Horner, which was destroyed by fire near Excursion inlet. Over 1,5OO gal Ions of gasoline was let loose in the vessels bilge with the melting away of the feed pipes, and the flames shot far above her masts. The Jack Horner was lowed ashore, where the receding tide left her charred hull high and dry. The new vessel will be 87 feet long, IT feet beam aud will have a depth of 66 feet. She will have the latest equipment for her work as a cannery tender, large roomy quarters for a crew of ten, aud for ten extra men for trap lifting. There will be a brail from the after mast with an 8-hOrse power gas engine, and an anchor wench forward driven off the main engine in addition to other equipment.
 Capt. Andrew Welding, the veteran halibut fisherman who recently pur chased the revenue cutter Rush, yester. day let the contract for converting the famous old craft into a fishing steamer to the shipbuilding firm of Nilson & Kelez. The contract for repairing the vessels boilers was let to the Com mercial Boiler Works, says the P.L Capt. Welding purchased the Rush from the Alaska Junk company, which ac- ouired the steamer from the govern ment at public auction a year ago for s8.5OO. It is understood that Capt. Welding paid s11,OOO for the vessel. The Rush will be the second United States revenue cutter to enter the hali- but trade. The United States revenue cutter Grant, after many years of service for the government, was sold and joined Che Seattle halibut fleet in the service of the Welding 6 Indepen- dent Fisheries company. The Grant wac lost about two years ago in Alaska waters, The Rush is a wooden vessel of TOT tons displacement, ITO feet long, 26 feet beam and 10 feet in depth. She is a Puget Sound product, having been built at Port Blakeley in 1885. During her last service for the government tbe Rush was stationed aO Juneau. She was replaced by the allsteel revenue cutter Unalga,

constantly being reclaimed and

spirit and yet statistics evl-
dence that the enormous drain
npon those resources through
fire is annually increasing and
at an alarming rate.

amounts, per capita, to more
than five times as much as the
