LACK OF FUEL
 CHISANA'S DRAWBACK

One great drawback in the Chisana gold diggings is the lack of nearby timber for fuel and mining purposes, according to II. E. Morgan. who was the first recorder for the White river district Mir Morgan, accompanied by his wife. is in Juneau enroute to Se- attle and the East.
 Mir Morgan has been in the White river country for ten years and is an enthusiastic believer in the mineral possibilities of that region.
 The Chisana district will develop into a good placer section" he said today, but a serious handicap is the lack of nearby fuel. There will be little or no work done there this win ter for that reason, but great activity is promised next summer. The gold found in the creeks has been deposited there from the benches where good pay will undoubtedly be found as soon as the ground can be opened up. Not much work can p, expected, however, this winter"
 Speaking of the alleged miX-up in the mining records of the Chisana dis trict, Mr. Morgan said:
 In reply to statements appearing in the various newspapers in Alaska and Yukon in regard to the manner in which the office of the recorder was conducted on the Cisana, I will say that the records are muddled up, with out proper index due not to poor bookkeeping but the lack of proper books. I was equipped with two small books, considered large enough for the White river district before the strike. When the strike came, with it's horde of stampeders. each armed with two powers of attorney to be re- corded. We were showed under. We filled the books as full as possible, put into service an old hotel register and an account book It was necessary to record all manner of instruments in the same book, following one another. Soon all available books were filled and instruments had to be accepted with a promise to record when the books were secured. When we left, in September, there was DO mail route to the diggings Under these conditions it was not possible to keep up a proper index. No relief had been sent by the government up to the time of my departure"

CROWS ARE FRIENDS
 OF THE FARMERS

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Investiga- tiOns by the Department of Agricul- ture have demonstrated to the satis- faction of experts that instead of farm CTS making war on crows they should encourage the birds to stick around.
