CHAPTER XVII.
The Death % Harv.v Birch

| II was thirty three years after the
| interview which we have just related
| that an American army was once
more arrayed against the troops OF
! England; but the scene was trans
| ferred from the banks Of the Hudson
TO those of the Niagara
The body of Washington had long
| lain moldering in the tomb, but as
! time was fast obliterating the slight
impressions of a political enmity or
personal envy, his name was hourly
receiving new luster, and his worth
and integrity each moment became
more visible, not only to his country
men. but to the world. He was al
ready the acknowledged hero of an
age of reason and truth, and many
a young heart, amongst those who
formed the pride Of our army in 1914,
was glowing with the recollection of
the one great name of America, and
inwardly beating with the sanguine
expectation of emulating in some de-
gree its renown.
In no one were these virtuous hopes
more vivid than in the bosom of a
young officer who stood on the table
rock, contemplating the great cam
ract, on the evening Of the 25th of
July of that bloody year. The person
of this youth was tall and finely
nodded, indicating a just proportion
between strength and activity. his
deep black eyes were Of a searching
and dazzling brightness. At times,
as they gazed upon the flood of waters
that rushed unanimously at his feet
there was a stern and daring look
that flashed from them, which denoted
the ardor of an enthusiast. But this
proud expression was softened BY the
lines Of a mouth around which there
played suppressed archness that
partOok of feminine beauty His hair
shone in the setting sun like ringlets
OF gold the air from the falls gently
moved the rich curls from a forehead
whose whiteness showed that expos
ure and heat alone had given their
darker hue 10 a face glowing with
health, There was another officer
standing by the side Of this favored
youth, and both seemed by the interest
they betrayed to be gazing for the
first time at the wonder of the West
ern World A profound silence was
observed by each. until the companion
Of the officer that we have described
suddenly started, and pointing eagerly
with his sword into the abyss beneath
exclaimed:
See. Wharton, there is a man
crossing in the very eddies of the
cataract, and in a skiff no bigger than
an eggshell."
He has a knapsack--it is probably
soldier" returned the other. Let
us meet him at the ladder Mason,
and learn his tidings"
Some time was expended in reach
ing the spot where the adventurer
was intercepted. Contrary to the ex-
peCtations of the young soldiers. he
proved to be a man far advanced in
life, and evidently no follower Of the

The Right of the Strongest.

That the elemental combatiye
force Of a man or woman makes for

force is more strikingly aggressive
than in concrete human erGeavor

The work of the Road Commission in his district has been entirely sus- pended for the winter, but Mir. Zug expects to be back again about April l. He states that government teams are busy transporting the timbers for the Nizina bridge from Me- Carthy and that the work of con- struction will begin as soon as the river is frozen over.

The Northwestern did not pick up passengers at Katalla as was ex- pected on her last trip south. When she arrived there for some reason no launch came out to meet her which was probably due to the stage of the tide. After waiting around for a couple of hours and seeing no signs of life, the Northwestern pro- ceeded on her way south.
 There were several persons in Katalla who have been subpoenaed as witnesses in the Munday coal cases which were to have come up for trial shortly in Seattle. The Northwestern was the last steamer upon which they could go to make connections. The trial has, how ever, been postponed until the end of January.
 Deputy Marshal Brightwell is en- deavoring to secure the services of one of the halibut fishing schooners to make the trip in order that the witnesses may be brought to Cor dova to take a steamer in time to be in Seattle for the trial.

Cordova. December "A
 The prospect for favorable legis- lation for Alaska at the hands of the present congress is causing news papers and magazines of the east ern states to pay more attention to Alaska than ever before. Scarcely a paper comes which does not con- tain an article serving to draw at tention to the wonderful richness of the mines of the territory. The Wall Street Journal, New York, con- tains the following article on the Mother Lode mine:
 James c. Godfrey, president of the Mother Lode Copper Mines Co. of Alaska, has arrived in New York from the mines at kennecott, Alaska. He reports the completion of the company's tramway which is 1000 feet long and extends from the Marvellous Claim on the top of the mountain down to Mccarthy Creek. He says his company has mined, sacked, and brought down to the level of Mccarthy Creek, 500 tons of ore which will run 65 per cent copper and Is ounces of silver to the ton. He also says his con- pany has erected permanent quar- ters on the top of the mountain near the outcorp and that mining opera tions will be carried on through the winter with 30 men employed, and before the first of next April they will probably have mined and shipped about 1000 tons of ore. He says the ore now mined and piled at Mccarthy Creek will be shipped from there to the smelter at Ta- coma, Wash, beginning about De- cember 15 or just as soon as the ice on Mccarthy Creek is sufficiently solid to permit sledding.
 MT. Godfrey is in New York for the purpose of discussing with his associates plans for the development of the property on large scale next year.

MINERS HAVE MARROW
 ESCAPE FROM FIRE.

Mining Company, near Juneau, was recently destroyed by fire. The fire started at a. Ill. and had gained such headway before any of the men awakened that difficulty was experienced in getting the miners out of the tunnel where they were in danger of being suffocated if the other buildings caught fire. Thirty five miners who were asleep when the fire started lost their effects. The mine is at an elevation of 2,400 feet above sea level.

TOLOVANA WAS THE
 COLDEST IN TANANA

Residents of Cordova are apt to forget their good fortune in residing on the coast where the thermometer rarely registers as low as zero. Dur ing the recent cold snap when it dropped to 8 above zero in Cordova it registered so degrees below at Tolovana, 5l at Hot Springs and 45 at Fairbanks. Fairbanks has only five inches of snow and at Richard son there is only three inches.
