PREP ARATIONS UNDER
 WAY FOR WEDDING
O-O

LONDON. Sept. 10. - Preparations for the wedding of Prince Arthur of Connaught and the Duchess of Fife on October 15 are already in full swing and hundreds of young Irish girls are busy working on the brides trousseau, for the duchess insists that, as far as possible, everything must be made in Great Britain.
 According to English custom, we'd ding presents are given long before the wedding and costly gifts are arriving from all parts of the empire The kings personal gift to the groom will be a magnificent motor car, while gor- geous jewels have been received from Queen Alexandria, the Kaiser, the CZar and several other European monarchs related to the English royal family.
 It appears that the rumOr that Prince Arthur will relieve his father as gov ernor-general of Canada, is true, and in case the Duke and Duchess of Kent, as it is understood Prince Arthur and the Duchess of Fife will be styled af- ter their marriage, will not be very much in this country for some years to come.

DIR. HOLMES TALKS
 WITH SOURDOUGHS

Speaking of his trip into the inter- for few weeks ago, Collector of Gus toms, J. R. Willis, said that on the way up river he travelled in company with Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the bureau of mines, and Territorial Mine Inspection William Maloney, from Fort Gibbon to Fairbanks. There were on board also quite a number of stam- peders picked from both upper and lower Yukon river points at the mouth of the Panama.
 Dr. Holmes was anxious to become acquainted with the men who were travelling thousands of miles, lured by the report of a rich new gold strike and in order to get his facts first hand made a point of moving among the men and asking questions. By series of adroit queries he discovered that very few of them had any fixed ideas about the reported strike. They only knew that it had been reported as good and were going to see for them selves. None of them had any mis- givings about the matter nor were they at all disturbed over the fact that after the steamer could get no farther a long gruelling trail of hun dreds of miles perhaps had to be ne- gotiated mushing with a pack. It was also developed that out of 65 of the stampeders interviewed 43 had come to the great Yukon valley between 1897 and 1900 and nearly all of them had participated in every stampede and worked in every camp of import ance from Dawson to Nome, Fair banks and Iditarod.
 This bunch of hardy American Northmen caught the steamer Tana which was to convey them to the mouth of the Nabisna if possible Their fare was to be $150 and they paid $500 per ton to have their freight carried as far as the steamer could go. There is one stretch in this upper Panama where the little steamer powerful as she is was II hours making two miles.

Mir. and Mrs. Ernest Van de Word took passage on the Mariposa last night for Cordova, which place is to be their future home. Their wedding which occurred a few days ago was the continuation of a pretty romance that was swiftly certain in it's trend. Dan Cupid caught the youthful pair gliding over the polished floor of Jax- on's rink scarcely more than a week ago. Several Juneau friends were down to see them off on their journey to the Westward.
