ALASKA WOMEN
LAUDED BY WIFE
Of GOVERNOR
Mrs. Strong Declares That Life
In North Develops Strong
Character In Both Sexes.

SEATTLE, June 21.-In 1900 in
Nome, Alaska, a womau's club was
started with about 100 members. and
one of them was Mrs. ]. F. A. Strong,
wife of the new Governor of Alaska.
The club is called Kagoyah Kozga
'Kozga,' said Mrs. Strong, SIS the
name for the gathering place of the
EskimOs, the scene of their commun-
ity work in the busy time of year
Kagoyah means aurora light.
The Alaska woman" said Mrs
Strong in reply to q query. lis much
like her sisters the world over. Per-
haps she shows more courage, more
Independence, than the women of
other countries. The pioneer spirit
is not confined to the sterner sex, and
the pioneer women OF the North have
shown their heroism side by side with
their husbands, fathers and brothers.
Alaskan Women Refined.
do not forget that there are re-
fined and educated women in Alaska,
Is well as elsewhere; women who
are doing their full share in the
building Of an empire. The woman
of the northland has her clubs. her
social affairs. She is most resource
full and is exceedingly hospitable In
short. she is, for the most part, like
her sisters from Maine to California.
TT is a wonderful country for fine
characters, with just the same effects
on women as men. If they are brave
enough, the vastness Of Nature and
the true and fine comradeship of the
people viii give them character
depths undreamed Of before. and
make OF them a nobler and finer
women.
Thinks Spirit Is Better.
Il do not know just what it is that
most Of ell bestows that individual
charm to so many after a residence in
the North but l believe It is largely
the plane upon which the people meet.
and the absence Of some Of the in
humanities and much Of the sharp
competitive spirit that are found in
older or more crowded communities
Does II not seem a pity that there
should exist an almost embarrassing
surplus Of women in some parts Of
the East, and that great mass of Eng
fish sisterhood across the ocean, with
not nearly enough men to go around
while you who are ambitious to see
Alaska come into her own. as a per-
manent land filled with homes and
happy families, are hungry for a bet
ter representation Of your sex ?"
Mrs. Strong has no children and the
great motherly instinct in her nature
seems TO take in in the way Of some
women, all those who come within her
life's circle whom she can help in any
way She speaks of the children Of
Alaska with maternal tenderness,
which BODIES we'll for all within her
range OF solicitude.

WEALTH
Of SOLDIER WHO
TOOK HIS WIFE
G. A. R. Veteran Cites Wartime
Agreement With Comrade to
Share Fortune if Either Fell.

DENVER, June 21.-A story, rich
in romance, dealing with an unusual
contract entered into between two
! soldiers Of the Union Army and fol-
lowed by circumstances rivaling any
war novel. is unfolded in a suit filed
in Boston by Henry w. Steele, a G. A.
R. veteran and one Of the parties to
the contract.
Steele is suing to gain possession
of the estate left by the late Asa G.
Fisher, a Colorado mining man. He
alleges in his complaint that at the
outbreak Of the Civil War he and
Fisher enlisted together. They were
boyhood friends and had courted the
same girl IN their little home village
| In Massachusetts,
Should Divide Fortune.
Steele was the successful sutton.
and just before he left for the battle
field he married his sweetheart on
their way to the front Fisher and
Steele. says Steele entered into a
contract whereby should one die the
other should take possession of his
property ard divide it with the girl,
whom both loved.
If Fisher died Steele and his young
bride should have the property left
by Fisher II Steele died Fisher
| should take the property of Steele
and should marry the widow.
Both went to the front They
fought shoulder to shoulder for mary
months and then became separated
| Fisher heard that Steele had been
drowned at Nantucket, Mass, and, not
| hearing from him for several months.
| believed the report.
Married Comrades Wife.
Following the war Fisher returned
| to his home, which was also the
| home of Mrs. Steele. Steele did not
return. Fisher paid suit to Mrs.
| Steele. but was refused and came
| West. After nine years of waiting
Mrs: Steele decided that her husband
must have died and agreed to marry
/ her former sweetheart.
In 1873 Mrs. Steele and Fisher were
/ married and lived together until the
| death of Fisher In Boston two years
! ago. His will left the entire estate
to his widow and daughter. A neph-
/ eW. Harry t1Sher, was cut off entirely.
Several months afterward Harry
| Fisher began suit to break the will.
| He claimed that Mrs Fisher was new
er legally married to his uncle, in
| that she had a living husband from
whom she had never been divorced
| He stated that he had information
that Steele was living in an old SOL
diers' home in Massachusetts,, and
that Mrs. Fisher knew he was LIVING
at the time she married his uncle.
The suit in the County Court in
Denver failed, and Fisher appealed e
theeDistrict Court He had a deposi
ton of a statement from Steele taker
and introduced as evidence at the
hearing. A jury ruled that Steele
was legally dead, even if he never
! really had died.
The case was thought to have been
settled for all time, but recently, in
Boston, Steele filed a suit, laying
claim to the estate.

Nothing Has Been Heard Of It Late
Iy, Says j. b. Case.
The Newton, Kansas and North
ern railroad is dead, If it can be
said that it ever existed. Almost
year has passed since Newton pro-
moters, and promoters in other
towns in that section of the state,
proposed to build a railway from
Newton to Fairbury, Neb., backed
with eastern capital. Surveys were
made and enthusiastic meetings were
held in many towns along the pro-
posed line, Abilene included.
But for some reason or other the
plan fell through. J. B. Case,
chairman Of a committee appointed
to attend to Abilene's interests In
the matter, said this morning: "The
project is dead, principally, think,
because Of the failure Of its pro-
motors to secure sufficient financial
backing. haven't heard anything
Of It for q long time"

One former senator and four men
who formerly were in the house OF
representatives were put to the test
Of the committee. They all admit
ted more or less interest in legisla-
ton that was on the make at the
capitol, but none would say that he
had done anything improper. Their
work had been done in the open,
they said, and consisted mostly in
the filing Of briefs before commit
tees of congress, making oral ar
guments in behalf Of clients and
arranging for hearings for their
employers.
Former Senator A. Faulkner Of
West Virginia, was the first wit
ness. He said he represented TWEEN
ty-two of the big railroads Of the
country and had represented them
here for many years.
Mr.. Faulkner said that his BUSH
ness consisted of seeking out rail-
road bills and advising his clients.
Then IF the railroads desired
hearing before the committee in

Machinery for the Y. P.

The rehabilitation of the plant of the Y. P. Mining Company started yesterday, three freight teams loading in the city from the Arizona Mine Supply Company with engines, pumps, pipe and a miscellaneous equipment. This shipment in few days will be followed by the arrival of two Hunt ington mills, a Mcneil sinner, six Mo- nell tables, two Bunker Hill screens, a 2Ox24 foot rag plant, and other ap- paratus from Denver.
 With the above additions the Y. r. will be equipped with a treating serv- ice to handle at least so tons per day. N. H. Getchell stated the new plant will be running inside of thirty days and to support the increased tonnage to be handled ore bodies exposed since the old Cash workings were unwater- ed. were capable of keeping the mill running steadily day and night with out taking into consideration the old dump and development that had been accom- plished at two other points on the group.
 Mir. Getchell makes the statement that there are several thousand tons ready for stoping, and the new ground opened up is revelation in tonnage as well as accurate values ascertained by careful line of sampling that has been conducted during the progress of mine work. He gives glowing ac- count of the general outlook of the Y. P. and bases this belief on actual conditions determined in the large line of development carried out to the present ttime.-Prescott Journal-Miner.

Valdez Creek PIacers.

A Valdez, Alaska, dispatch says: From Valdez creek, a tributary of the Susitua, near the headvaters, come reports of highly successful operation on the former Monohan ground, which with some other property on the creek, was taken over by Boston syndicate. One hundred and fifty thousand dol lars was the price on Monohan's ground.
 When the Copper River railroad was blockaded last winter the syndi- cate took Tn 100 tons of supplies, mak- ing up part of small hydraulicking outfit. A ditch one and one half miles long was built to carry water from the head of Valdez creek to the property. It was the first of Septemb Der before any work was done in actual sluicing From a short run, an average return of over Is yard was obtained. Next season a new mill outfit, an electric drill plant and Keystone drill will be taken in over the trail. Twenty men were worked this year. Forty will be employed next season.

A. c. Retarded Temporarily.

At the Arizona Commercial condi- tions are virtually unchanged, the re- cent advent of water having checked temporarily the program of rapid de- velopment. Moreover, the company has not yet given out any data as to it's intentions in the way of the in- creased pumping equipment that may be installed. It is possible that by concreting the shaft considerable of the inconvenience caused by the flow would be obviated, especially on the 1900 level, where the flow is of the rate of 100 gallons of water per min ute. On the 700 level drifting has been discontinued and raise has been started. Previous work at this point showed the vein to carry from seam to five feet of sulphide ore and the raise is in the nature of exploratory work to ascertain the possibility of the vein being of commercial extent and nature above the 700. Drifting on the 1000 continues east. On the l2OO work has been temporarily suspended Globe Silver Belt.

Denver Parties Lease Mine.

A syndicate of Denver capitalists has leased the big mining property of the Gold Mining X Milling Co.,, located about three miles from Cochise station and big develonment work has already been started. It is reported that the lease calls for extensive development work. and at the end of two years the lessees are to have 45,000S mill on the property. Manager Hubbard of the Denver Company, it is reported, is already negotiating for the plant.
 This is one of the biggest mines in the country, and over two million tons of ore, which will average better than IS per ton, has been blocked out. The new plant will average better than 100 and l50 tons ore per day. It is estimated that there is enough ore to keep the big mill going for years and years. The owners of the mine were offered l5O,0O0S for their property four years ago.-Benson Signal.
