broken into and robbed by parties
unknown. They secured and carried
away everything in sight, including
money, stamps and quite number of
notes and mortgages and other secur-
tiles, the private papers of the post
office. The loot was complete and
successful evasion of detection was
made. No suspicion rests anywhere
except the robbery of postofices in

become a sort of epidemic. Quite a
large number of Offices have recently
been broken into and robbed.

NO BAD FAITH BY RAILROADS
Presidents of North Carolina Lines
Present Their Side of Road Con-
troVersy.

Asserting that in their negotiations
with the legislative commission in re-
gard to freight rates in North Caro-
lima points they have acted in the best
of faith, the presidents of the rail
roads operating in North Carolina
have addressed a letter to w. G.
Dowd, editor of the Charlotte News,
giving a full history of the negotia-
tions. The railroad presidents quote
the full text of the agreement made
with the legislative commission on
February 26th and state that under
it they made a proposition embracing
substantial rate reductions but which
was not satisfactory to the commits
sion. The commission then made a
proposition which the railroads after
careful study concluded they could
not possibly accept and they gave
their reasons in full to the commits
sion in writing. AS the commission
was not willing to accept what the
railroads offered and the railroads felt
that they could not accept the propo'
sition of the commission, both sides
believing their position correct, there
was then an issue as to what was
Just. AS the interstate commerce
commission is the only tribunal with
authority to decide such questions
ought not this issue, the railroad
presidents ask, be submitted to it. In
i their letter to Mr.. Dowd, the railroad
presidents promise if this question is
submitted to the interstate commerce

NORTH CAN GET ON
 WITHOUT GAME HOGS

The reports that tourists and others little interested in the development of the NOrthland are slaughtering game by the wholesale in the vicinity of Scolai pass deserve the careful atten- ton of the Canadian as we'll as the American officials. Game in that re- zion wanders to and fro across the boundary line, and belongs to this side as much as to the other. Miners in that section have hardships enough to endure to get their supplies into the remote locality without having to see the food supply which nature has provided killed by opulent and heart less kid-gloved nOmads. But for the abundance of wild meat in that dis trict this summer, many hardy from tieTsmen who stampeded to the new diggings would have perished. If the game be killed this year, those who go to the camp another season may have to endure untold privatiOn.
 Alaska and Yukon can get on with out the game hogs, and the sooner they are made to know the fact the better. Legitimate hunters will be welcomed, but those who want to make shambles of the hills and leave game to rot deserve a stiff term behind the bars.-Dawson News.

NELCHINA TO BE
 NEXT BIG CAMP

"Nelchina is going to be the next
 big placer camp in Alaska" said M. A. Ellis. to the Seattle Post-lntelli-
 gencer. Physical conditions in the new camp are practically the same as | in the Fairbanks country as regards | formation and character of pay, and | the limited development work now done has demonstrated that the field
 is quite extensive. The gravel is all | frozen pay is found distributed ! throughout a sediment gravel pay streak and not concentrated on bed rock, and values as high as $65 a yard have been found on six creeks.
 Pay has already been found on six
 of the tributaries of Crooked creek, al though bedrock has been reached only 1 on four-Albert, Lucky, Dick and Grubstake creeks. The best showing
 so far is on Poorman gulch, short
 pup entering Crooked, across the creek from Albert.
 Original Strike on Albert. | Albert creek is where the original discovery was made by Getchel and Olson on August F of this year. They uncovered a four-foot paystreak of sediment gravel lying on bedrock and covered with about eight feet of bar
 ren wash Rough sluice boxes were | improvised and a cut two box lengths | long was worked out From this they 1 took $1,200, or more than $2.50 a square foot of bedrock. The gold is evenly distributed through the pay gravel.
 "On Lucky, Dick, and Grubstake
 creeks bedrock has been reached and
 the depth of pay gravel proved to be ! from three to four and a half feet. No crosscuts have been run to de 1 termine the width of the paystreak.
 Values run from cents to $1 to the pan The gold is similar to Albert
 creek dust, being fairly coarse. Pay ! has also been found on Sleigh creek, | but bedrock has not been reached. 1 Coarse gold prospects have been | found on North, South, Willow, Cotton
 wood and Chickamuck creeks and on a
 small pup flowing into Happy river.
 Only 100 Claims Located. The only prospecting done so far on the benches is between PoOrman and Sleigh, on the right limit of Crook ed A paystreak similar in character to that on Albert is reported from this bench.
 About 100 claims are all that have been located so far in the district, as the original discoverers limited their locations in accordance with the pro- visions of the new mining law, and very few stampeders have reached the camp.
 The new camp is in a rolling coun- try, easy of access from the Matanus- ka district or from the Copper river valley It is 120 miles from Knik by way of the Matanuska river, and is seventy-three miles from Copper Cen ter. Albert is six miles from timber and about eighteen miles from some of the Matanuska coal deposits"

GEORGE DEGREES BRITISH
 LANDLORD SYSTEM

LONDON, Oct. 2S-Speaking again on the abolition of landlordism, and the ghastly failure of the land system of Great Britain, where he said the percentage of cultivated land was low CT than in any other country of Europe, David Lloyd-GeOrge attributed it to the "fatuous and unbusinesslike" methods of the landlords. The agri- cultural laborers of the British Isles, he said, received lower pay and work ed longer hours than any others. He pronounced it a scandal that go per cent of the farm laborers of this coun- try are in receipt of a scale of living lower than that of the poorhouse. The entire wages of the farm laborers of England and Wales amounted to only $125, ,000,000 a year, whereas the parson and the landlord, he continued got $1S5, 100000 ont of the land.

SEATTLE FEARS FOR
 ITS ASSAY OFFICE

For some years past it has been evi- dent that there is a persistent pur- pose, the influence behind which can
 but be surmised, to cripple the Seat
 tie assay office. That office, since its establishment, has handled more gold from points of primary production than any other government assay of fee in the United States. Its estab- lishment resulted in the immediate diversion hither of the major part of the gold produced in the Klondike region during the earlier and richer days of that great camp. It has been a convenience of the first magnitude to the mining interests of Alaska
 Whether purchased by the local as- say office or shipped elsewhere, every dollars worth of gold mined in Alas ka reaches Seattle because this is the terminus of every existing transporta- tion line to Alaska
 To divert business from the Seattle assay office, some time ago, the treas ury department was induced to i'm pose a charge upon the gold sold there, so as to make it more profitable to the miners to send their gold, through Se- attle, 800 miles further to the mint at San Francisco. The Chamber of Commerce defeated this purpose by contributing fund to make up the additional charge imposed upon the miners until this action was set aside and the assay office restored to it's old standing.
 Now the order comes from Wash ington for the assay office to discon- tinue the purchase of gold because the fund for paying the cost of shipment
 has been exhausted. Under similar condition, on previous occasion, the assay office merely stored the pur- chased gold in it's vaults until such time as further funds were available;
 but this practice has now been for bidden. This community is prepared to pay the cost of transportation in order to prevent the stream of gold | being diverted from this city, the man. | ifest purpose of the new order. But
 why is it necessary? Why does Seat tie have to be constantly on guard to
 prevent having something slipped
 over" to cripple the assay office and divert Alaska gold from this city, the entrepot of it?
 Or was nobody on guard in Wash | ington n?-Seattle Post-Intelligencer. -O-O-O-
