 The following from the Haines paper is a practical demonstration of how mean some men can get: "Whlle Col. Sol Ripinski was detained in Juneau for the past two months, some one of malicious turn of mind entered the en- closure of his lot and cut down thirty of his shade trees. These trees were not only ornamental and in that way valu- able to the whole community, but they furnished amusement for the children who had made swings in them and made the groves playground for them selves. Col. Ripinski loves children and he loves trees, and naturally Is displeased at the work of the vandals, who, through spite or some other un' godly sentiment, destroyed so much beauty and robbed the children of their pleasure. The Col. says he is an old bachelor and has no children of his own, but takes great pleasure in see. ing the children of the community en- toying themselves. The neighboring city of Skagway is spending money to plant trees for beautifying the streets, knowing that they add to the value of |
 property, while in this instance some miscreants have been injuring the whole city as we'll as Col. Ripinski.
 Katalla, April 10.-Last Thursday night two'well known characters were asphyxiated or poisoned on board the launch Triton. About 6 o'clock Capt. Durkee and party of mining men and carrying load of provisions, started for Yakataga. Jack Bougher was his engineer and Archie McLaren was do. ing service on the deck. About o'clock the captain looked into the en- zine room and both the men mentioned were eating crackers and sardines. An honr later the men were found dead, MT. Bougher lying beside the engine and MT. McLaren sitting in chair. The empty sardine cans were found near them. Capt. Durkee immediately turned the launch and came back to Katalla. No physian is at the town at the present so it has not been deter mined just how the men died. Some contend that it was from the fumes of the gasoline, while others are certain that the men were posisoned from eat- ing the sardines. Both men were un- married. Mir. McLaren was for several years in the employ of Clarence Cun- ningham on his coal property. He is about 55 years of age. Jack Bougher was only 9 years old and has been en- gineer on the launch for the past year or two. He is we'll known at Cordova and other places on Prince William sound.

Nat Lyons, newspaper man former
 ly of the interior, is making fortune
 out of tin found in the sea sands of his old home, St. Ives bay, Cornwall, Eng | land. His Alaska experience led him to inspect the sand near the tin mines and an assay showed that it carried [ fifteen pounds of tin to the square yard. Lyons organized company, ac quired 100000 square yards of tin car
 rying sand, and soon raised S50O,OOO for development and machinery.
 ! A government meat inspector has been stationed on the wharves in Seat tie to see to it that meat being loaded on board vessels is properly handled and slowed. In the past it has fre- quently happened that meat consign ed north has been unloaded out of the delivery wagons and piled up on the wharf decking awaiting the convent. euce of he steamship people. The new order of things requires that the meat be taken on board direct from the wagons aud hung up.
 The Skagway Alaskan gives forth the following: Tee alien fishing bill has been rejected by the senate, and 1t now looks as though the eight hour bill will become loaded down with amendments until it will be of no value, if it passes the house at all. When these senators and representatives were up for cleo. tion they were metaphorically paving the air in denunciation of the fish trap and the alien fisherman. The poor laborers who had to hazard their lives to greed by working ten hours day, in gas and smoke polluted mines, brought tears to the eyes of these same legislators. But the hands that erst' while paved the air are now engaged in reaching for something more substan tial, and the glistening tears seem to be crystalizing themselves into precious gems that reflect the smiles of the big operators.
 The first gold mining in Alaska was done in the so-called Juneau gold belt, where operations were begun over 30 years ago. The value of the gold pro- duced in this region is more than S50,. 100000. Most of this gold has been taken from the famous Treadwell and other mines near Juneau. The aurifer- ous belt is, however, known to stretch for fifty miles to the north and in- cludes the Eagle river region, described in report by Adolph knopf, just ls- sued by the United States geological survey as Bulletin 502. This report unlike many others on mining districts in Alaska, which are of reconnais- sance character, treats the region in de- tail. It is entitled Geology and Min eral Resources of the Eagle River Re- zion. Alaska" and is accompanied by a topographic map on scale of mile to the inch, with 1oo,foot contours, by J. w. Bagley, and detailed geologic map on the same scale. Gold bearing lodes constitute the only mineral re- zion now under development. The ore bodies occur in certain geologic associ. ations which are described in the report and elucidated by the map. This book will therefore be of great service to the prospector by guiding him to the most promising localities in which to search for ore bodies. A copy may be obtain ed on application to the Director of the ] Geological Survey, Washington, D. c.

A play, which had never been seen

sailed high in the air and fell between

The HaWkeyes were not forced TO
resort to strategy, as the Indiana line,

but little, chiefly because of the high

The second half started with a go

An attempt to forward pass was un-

Yellow and White squad broke to
