 Fairbanks, Aug. l7.-Constant rain during the last week has caused flood in the Panama valley and today the river was higher than it has been since the flood of 1905. The Turner street bridge, which connects the business district with the Tauana Valley railroad yards on Garden island, was washed ont today, the second time this year. The bridge, which goes out every spring when the ice breaks up, is easily re- placed, and the damage was not great. The water is still rising.

 Discovery of rich strike on Canyon creek, a little stream that emptiOs in Healy lake, on the Healy river, has caused a wild stampede to Chat place, and men in automobiles, on foot, and in every way imaginable are leaving for the new camp. Whether there is real cause for a stampede is questioned by some of the more conservative mem- bers of the city, but just the came the stampeders started for the place last night and many others will be on the way this morning, says the Fairbanks Citizen. What caused the rush for the new place was letter received by Cap tain John Morgan. of the steamer White Seal, from his mining partner, Herman Hammer, who made the strike, The letter states that the pay runs as much as from b to % cents to the pan, but that it averages about six cents to the pan. Out Of 200 pans he cleaned up about S12. The pay streak runs from 30 to 40 feet in width, and the bedrock is about 12O feet in depth.

James McCloskey, of Juneau, on his way out from the Atlin district, where he spent tbe past summer, is said to have stated that ths has been the most osperous season Atlin has ever known, due iu a great measure to the harmony that now exists among the miners and prospectors and the liberal and fair minded policy of the gold com missioner, who is doing in bis power to forward the interests of Northern British Columbia. Mir. McCloskey further says that the Atlin district, al. though it has been a good camp ever since it's discovery in 1898, is just be- ginning to attract the attention it is en. titled to. Before many years, however, it will be among the big gold producers of the world from both placer and quartz.
 It is more than probable that the government could recover the expense of opening the Matanuska coal fields before the close of the present war if it opened them at once. British ships and others that have been engaged in the work of hauling coal from various parts of the earth cannot travel now SO freely. Thousands and thousands Of men who had been engaged in digging coal are now engaged in war, American ships are free to enter any port in the world aud could make markets for American coal as they are going to make markets for other American commodities. The great naVies of the powers will use tremendous quantities of coal and the price is sure to go very high should the great war last few months, and the chances are that it will last for years as neither of the nations engaged can quit without stepping out of the class of ruling powers. Before the coming of the winter the govern. ment could have the nation secured from the lack of coal if it only went to work. Is it possible to bring this home to the minds of the people of Washing ton. lift is 1t surely ought to be done, Seward Gateway.
 1t is Che intention of the board of ed- ucation to move some of the herds of reindeer belonging to the Lapiauders to the south fork of the Kuskokwip river this summer. This is for the pur' pose of securing a market for the sur' plus meat as we'll as to relieve the situ- ation on Seward peninsula. While there is unlimited pasturage back from the coast. the Laps have stayed close to the native villages, and tbe native herd owners are complaining that their pasture ground is being encrouched upon by them. By removing these herds to the Kuskokwim country it ts expected that during railroad eonstrucr tion there will be 8 good market for the deer and at the same time develop the industry in that section of the country, which is said to be peculiarly adapted for both winter aud summer pasturage. The natives have already established 8 market along the Yukon at Ruby, and have gone as far as the Iditarod and Innoko, driving the herds through good pasture ground on these trips. The law permits the natives and Lapps to seIl only male animals, but these are so numerous that they are now able to supply a large market each year. Nome Nugget.
