TWO LETTERS FROM
 CAISANA DISTRICT

J. c. Hendee. who is employed in the engineering department of Che Al- aska.G Gastineau Mining company, re- celyed in the last mail from Chisana q letter from R. J. Fisher who went in- to the country early last fall. Accord ind to the letter nothing of a sensation al nature has been found on any of the creeks. Very little prospecting has been done although the entire country has been staked, most stakers doing simply the location work in or der to comply with the Territorial law. Two boilers had recently ar rived, according to the letter and these were now being used at pros pectlng.
 There were about $50 or more cab lns already erected in the town of Chi sana and fifty more under construc; tion at the time the letter was writ ten. Dec. g. There are two restau- rants. two barber shops. ten general stores, two butcher shops. one drug store, one Red Cross nurse, one jail and seven petitions out for saloon li- censes. But" the writer adds, it is no trick to get all the booze you want" Grub until about three weeks before the writing of the letter had been selling at $1 per pound, but 1t was down to 45 cents at that time and the writer predicts from the number of outfits coming In that 1t win be down to 20 cents, freight added to the retail trade, A
 Social Life at chIsana.
 A Pioneer Thanksgiving Dance was greatly enjoyed by the citizens of the camp, There were 100 men and eight women present. Everyone had a good time. Tt was not amlss," the writer says, ito see many of the men danc- ing together" Another grand ball was being arranged for Christmas Eve. It was hoped to have the other five la dies in Chisana attend the second so- cial event.
 No Strikes Up to Dec. 18th.
 George winkler, who went to the Chisana mining district from Juneau, but formerly a Nome miner writing from that camp under date of Decem- Der 18th to Dick Eugene. of this city and also formerly of Nome, says that no new strikes have been made in the ChIsana since the opening of winter work, though they are using boilers and drawers on Alder and Wilson creeks. Mir. Winkler has property on Bryan creek,
 In part, Mir. winkler writes:
 "The camp Is about the same as when you left. People are coming and going. Grub is selling at from 60 to 75 cents a pound.
 There have been no new strikes made here that know of.
 "The thermometer went down to AZ below zero couple of days ago.
 There is a boiler and a thawer working on Alder creek; also one on Wilson creek. Two more arrived in camp last night; also one drill.
 The mail is having a hard time getting in here-only one arriving since you left. They are getting pretty good trail over the glacier now, and double-enders are coming in every few days. Five dog teams and three double-enders arrived from Chitina yes terday, also one from snag."

ST. Joseph's School Notes

Again the gift, tseyen books Of fic-

week evokes expressions of gratitude.
II is true, the expression of thanks may
be perfunctory, the words merely con-

the genuine sense of gratitude is more
likely to be developed by expression
than by silence. So here's many

Deadly Gasoline Can Claims
More Victims.

Mrs. Helkel Hoogerwerf and Julia
Dennis, seven-year old daughter OF
Louis Dennis, lost their lives, and Mrs
Mary DeFries and her baby and
Mr. Hoogerwerf were severely burned
when the Hoogerwerf home n miles

Mrs. Hoogerwerf was having some
difficulty In making the tire in the
kitchen range burn to her satisfaction
and started TO pour onto il the contents
of can filled with a mixture of kero-
sene and gasoline when an explosion
resulted filling the room with seeth-
ing mass of flame. The can was hurled
through the roof and wedging Mrs,
Hoogerwerf against the door, making it
almost impossible to get into the house.
Mr.. Hoogerwerf, who was piling
wood outside, succeeded in breaking
down the door and getting his wife and
the little Dennis girl out of the burning
house but their clothing was all ablaze
and he was terribly burned about the
face and hands.
MRS. DeFries, sister of Julia Dennis
and whose home is just across the road
assisted in getting the unfortunate ones
out of the building and was herself Sc
riopsly though not fatally burned. Her
baby was badly burned on one hand.
The Dennis girl was so terribly injur-
ed that she passed away at midnight
and Mrs. Hoogerwerf died at 10 o'clock
Wednesday morning.

destroyed.

In former years Spring Politicians
and migratory birds usually made their
appearance about the same time, but
this spring the politicians appeared in
great numbers, far in advance of the

the bidding on most articles was spirit

WAsHINGroN. July ll.-No formal com

son or Secretary Bryan tonight on the
resignation OF Huerta. II was apparent,
however. that the Administration officials
were delighted over the development and
that they were prepared to contend that
it justified President Wilson's policy Of
watchful waiting.
The first official news Of Huerta's In
tention came from the Brazilian Minister
in Mexico city, who Is representing the
United States there. His despatch an
nounced that IIuerta would resign a, 4
o'clock and be succeeded by CarbaJal two
hours later n II understood that the
despatch also Indicated that Carbajal had
every disposition to enter into an arrange
ment for the pscihcation OF Mexico.
As soon as Secretary Bryan received
word Of this despatch he called the Presi'
dent on the telephone and congratulated
him on "the successful contamination" Oi
his Mexican policy.

The attack on Mr.. Lind and the Admin

Gillett of Masssc husetis. Moore OF Penn

publicans. Representatives Miller OF Min.
nesota. Republican. and Seldomridge Of

Miller took occasion to say that Mr.. Lind =
mission to Mexico had failed because OF
plumbers made by the men higher up.
Lind personally. although there was a
string even in these personal references to
The Minnesota man.
The cause OF the uproar over Mr.. Lind
was an item in the deficiency bill carrying
an appropriation OF s2b. 900 for what Is
known as the secret fund" of the State
Department. II was In this fund that
Secretary Bryan found the money To re-
imburse Mr.. Lind for his services In be-
half OF The Administration. Republicans
frequently have expressed great curiosity
as TO the amount paid to Mr.. Lind and
they have been trying to find out II his
name stll graces the Federal payroll. So
far this information has been withheld by
the Administration.

secret fund was reached to-day Repre-
