| Packers, fishermen, miners and I traders on the Shumagan and San-
 nak Islands and the adjoining main.
 land are endeavoring to convince
 the government and the Marcon1 i Company that they are entitled to
 service with the outside.
 Considerable complaint has been voiced by them, says the Pacific
 Fisherman, that they are totally ] neglected so far as cables and wire
 less are concerned. At the present
 time the government cable extends l only to Seward, and in order to bridge. the gap between there and l Uralaska the Navy Department sev-
 eral years ago established wireless stations at Kodiak, Unalga tone mile from Unalaska) and on the
 Pribilof Islands.
 On the Shumagin Islands and vicinity the codfish companies oper- ate about 20 shore stations through out the year, while some 15 vessels
 are fishing in the section during the
 summer months. At King Cove is located one of the most important salmon canneries in Central Alaska.
 that of the Pacific American Fish
 cries, while some five or six small
 salteries are operating throughout the region. Several quite impor- tant villages, notably Unga and Sand
 Point, are also located in this
 region.
 Very frequently the owners of
 these plants and vessels, who live in
 Washington and California, wish to communicate on short notice with their superintendents or captains,
 but are unable to do so except bv
 mail boat which makes a trip from
 Seward to Unalaska and return once
 month. Often the delay in com
 municating by mail causes the loss of thousands of dollars. The Shumagin Islands lie about midway between Unalga and Kodiak. and it would be comparatively in expensive matter for the government to establish a station on the group.
 This should be done at the earliest
 possible moment

It was in the latter part of Sep
 tember that the government party
 of surveyors arrived at Iditarod, hav-
 ing left Knik on June 20th last. This
 party was in charge of J. l.. McPher- son, of Seattle, and they successfully
 made a reconnaissance of the coun-i try between Knik and Iditarod. They
 were under the direction or the
 Alaska Engineering Commission,
 whose work is carried on under. three heads--frst, the reconnois- Iance; second, the preliminary sur-i vey, and third, the survey proper. The reconnaissance is for the purpose of gaining general knowledge of the country to be traversed, with espe-. cial reference to the location of such
 physical features atas mountain
 ranges, passes through the same,
 rivers and the general character of
 the country The preliminary survey,
 which follows, goes more into detail,
 mapping definitely the route and ob-
 taining data as to attitudes, grades
 and other details necessary for the information of the engineers. The final survey will locate definitely the route to be followed by the construc- tion engineers. In speaking of the work accomplished MT. McPherson says: --.
 "The route followed by the party, in the reconnaissance just completed was from Knik to Susitna, thence proceeding 30 miles above Susitna to crossing of the Kahltna river, five miles from it's mouth, crossing the Yentna river at the mouth of the Swentna, up the Swentna valley and Happy river valley, through Rainy pass and down to the south fork of the Kuskokwim river; thence up the south fork to Hartman river and Styx river, and up the latter to Ptarmigan valley. Recrossing the summit at the. head of Happy river, at Houston pass (named by MT. Me Pherson in honor of Congressman William c. Houston of Tennessee,
 chairman of the House committee
 on territories), crossing the old trall down Happy river and up the Moose
 river, following the headwaters of
 the Yentna, and recrossing the sum- init through Simpson pass. The party then proceeded down the Tahini to the south fork and down the south fork to Farewell mountain, across the Kuskokwim valley to McGrath, up the Taketna, and down Bonanza
 creek, proceeding thence to Idita- rod''
 Mr. McPherson discovered new
 pass in the Teocolli mountains of the Alaska range and called it Teocolli
 pass. It is situated south of Rainy pass. An area of 30 square miles was examined in this range, with 9 view to locating all possible passes.

south on the steamer NOrtnWeSter1. He goes for vacation trip to Cali fornia and. will spend the Christmas holidays with his sisters at Los Angeles. MT. Dwyer is very en- thusiastic over the mineral prospects of the Kuskulana country. He says that the developments during the past summer have demonstrated quantity and richness of the copper ore in various properties. This is particularly true of the Hubbard Elliott and the Rarus and Nugget Creek groups of the Alaska Copper Company. The Ole Berg property also looks promising.
 The train for the interior this morning had six loads in addition to the coaches, one consisting of tur- bine and accessories and the other five of lumber for the Kennecott mines.
 Max Reed, foreman of the Dan Creek mines, was a passenger on the morning train for the interior, having come down last week for a short vacation.
 Cordova, November 10 W. S. Alexander, of London, Eng, was one of the passengers on today's train from the interior. He mushed alone from Circle City to Chitina, 8 distance of 400 miles in 14 days,
 which is considered good time. MT Alexander is a member of the Seven teenth Australia Mounted Horse and is returning home to join his com pany and go to the front. He ia stopping at the RainierGrand and 's going south on the steamer North western -r
 W. E. Dunkle, mining expert for the. Alaska Syndicate, was a pas senger this morning from Latouche. coming on the steamer Dirigo. An inquiry at Mccarthy today brings the information that no elec- tion returns from the Chisana have
 been received from there. No one leaving the diggings since the cleo tion has turned up as yet.
 The steamer Dirigo came into port this morning and will remain here until after the arrival of the steamer Mariposa. The officers and crew from the Dirigo will be trans ferred to the little steamer Dora, which will again take the run to the westward from Seward. The Dirigo will be lowed by the freighter | Cordova to Seattle, where she will go on the drydock for couple of months, after which she will be sent north to resume the run from Seward. She reached the latter town on the 5th and came direct from there to Cordova, only stop ping at Latouche to take on about 30 tons of copper ore.
 Six new men were admitted to membership in the Cordova Fire Department at special meeting held last night. This was the first
 meeting in the new headquarters in the city hall, and was well at tended. The new members are:
 Warren Taylor, Fred Fuller, Geo Faussett, V. E. Elliott, L. Morgan and MT. Anderson, recent arrival from Valdez.
 The condition of Dean Officer, the man who was shot at Mccarthy a few days ago, is reported as about the same.

Nicholas, the poison victim. who. ac-
cording to the alleged will, leaves more
than 500. 900 of his estate to Miss Ella
McClendan, of ST. Louis, Mo The wo-
man Is an old sweetheart OF Nicholas

tive of the St Louis woman, Will APP
ply to the Suprme Court of Virginia
for a writ OF error in order that the
alleged will may he kept secret. Judge
Haas has suspended the order pend

A peculiar phase of the case is that
