 skeptical persons who scan the to. tals shown in the report appended, cov- ering the period of eleven months, from April l, 1912, to February 2S, 1913, will discover that the prosperity was not confined to those two months alone
 One of the main factors in bringing the dock to such financial standing is the profit on coal sales handled through this agency of the munich pality. A study of the methods adopt ed will disclose the fact that coal is also sold by the city at a very low price compared to those prices obtain ing before the city went into business while wharfage rates were cut in half.

BAL LTIMORE SUFFERS A HOLOCAUST
.SlDELIGHTS ON
 THE TESLIN STRIKE

Isa Goldstein, who returned from Seattle on the Northwestern, says that the Spirit City is all excited over the reported strike near Teslin and that a big stampede is imminent,
 While at the Northern hotel Mir Goldstein saw his old friend, Skoo kum Jim. who is reported to have made the discovery. He entered into conversation with Jim using the In dian language. but before any infor nation could be extracted George Car mack. the discoverer of Bonanza creek came whirling up to the hotel in big automobile. He stepped through the doors and taking his In. dian brother-inlaw by the arm walked out, and before a word could be ut, tered. they were inside the car and speeding away
 Carmack and Skookum Jim were the discoverers of Bonanza creek and are both wealthy ex-KIondikers. Car, mack gave out an interview to the Sc, attle newspapers, roasting the city for it's ill treatment of himself and stated that he would try and keep  that city from profting any from this latest discovery. He and Jim took a boat for Victoria that same day
 Mir Goldstein says that he believes that his friend Skookum Jim has struck something up there and that there will be quite a rush to that sec, tion.
 Hon. x. J. Svindseth, of Wrangell, says that he has no doubt there has been a discovery up there but he does not appear to be excited about it. Wrangeu is the outGtting and start ing point for traffic up the Stlyne and to Telegraph creek. The representa- tive from Wrangell says that the coun- try up there has borne the reputation of being spotted. The miners on Tel, egraph are said to have all gone over to the new strike and made all the To- cations that they are entitled to be- fore the news came out.

The Alaska daily empire., 1913-03-07

The first bill to make it's appear. ance in the Alaska Legislature was introduced in the Senate today by Senator Roden. Senate Bill No. is an act to regulate the hours Of em- ployment in and about mines, smeIters, cyanide plants, stamp mills, etc. In other words it is what is commonly known as an eight,hour law.
 Senator Willard presented the first joint memorial in the Senate today. It asks Congress to repeal the statute extending the time in which to insti- tute adverse suits against mineral en- try. The memorial in full is as fol- lows:
 ITO His Excellency Woodrow Will
 son and the Honorable Senate and
 House Of Representatives in Con-
 gress assembled:
 "The Senate and House of the Ter, ritorial Legislature of Alaska memor- ializes the President and the Congress of the United States for the repeal of the law entitled An Act extend ing the time in which to file adverse claims and institute adverse suits against mineral entries in the District of Alaska, approved June :, 1910. C36 Stat. 45gl. which law applies to Alaska only. and allows eight months, additional to the 6O.day period of pub Hcatiou. in which to adverse applica- tions for mineral patents in Alaska. Three years of experience have dem onstrated that such law is wholly un- necessary. and serves no useful pur, pose. but on the contrary. it imposes additional delays upon an already tedious procedure, and places unreas- onable burdens upon those who seek in good faith to develop our miner al lands. No good reason exists for such special legislation in Alaska. The conditions in this territory warrant every possible effort to simplify the procedure. and to expedite such ap-

YUKONER'S EXPECT
 MUCH HIGH WATER

The Yukon river may be veritable flood this summer, especially on the lower portion, says the Dawson News. The fall of snow throughout a vast DOT tion of the Yukon basin seems to be of record depth.
 Captain Newcomb, of the Northern Navigation Company's fleet, has ad. vices that the snow is lying five feet deep on the ground at Gibbon and vi, cinity. About the same depth of snow covers the ground near Dawson, and in all directions for long distances.
 Southern Yukon, however, has been shy of snow this year. From Yukon Crossing southward little snow has fallen. It was only ten days ago that the sleighing became good in that region.
 With so little snow in the southern Yukon country, navigation on the up per river the coming summer may be carried on with difficulty However distant mountains may contain a good supply, and there is time for much more snow to fall before the thaw But, as a rule, the heavy snow falls do not occur in the latter part of the winter.
 From Dawson down, the Yukon will be replenished with the waters of the Klondike, the Porcupine, the Panama the Koyukuk and other streams which may give a tremendous volume of wa ter. Should the valleys of all those streams be as we'll supplied with snow as is the KIondike, and should the sun be particularly ardent for a continued period shortly after the breakup, a wall of water may be sent racing tc the Boring sea. Low lying localities along the lower river may have floods of unusual proportion with which tc contend.
