With long hard winter before us, in which it will be a difficult matter to dispose of our spare time, it is a good thing that a 90 cent "pitch" game, with a 9 cent "set up" clause, is not classi- fled as gambling, neither "solo' at one cent per. Well, well, well, the world do move, but the thing to determine is whether forward or backward or in a circle.-Alaskan.
 Haines-One day last week Joe Stuber, of this place, went out bunting and when near the IS mile post on the government road between here and Wells, thought he saw a black bear through the thick bush and promptly popped away at the object with the shotgun which he was carrying. He was much surprised as well as very badly frightened when he discovered tbat what he had taken for bear was the black hat of man who is clearing a homestead there, and that under heath tho bat was the man himself. Fortunately, Stubler's gun was loaded with fine shot, and while the back of the victims head and neck were pretty well filled with lead, and he suffered a quite painful wound, no serious re- suits are looked for as the outcome ot the mistake
 One day, while the whaleship Mar. whal was tied to an ice foe in Boring sea, and the lookouts were at the mast head scanning the open water south ward for the appearance of whales, party of the forecastlemen made foot taIl of rags and cord, and went over the bow to kick the misshapen thing around on a smooth stretch of ice 8 short distance from the vessel The fun was at it's height, and the meu were just getting the kinks out of their legs when the harpooner iu the crows nest called softly down to the deck that polar bear had scented the men on the ice and was excitedly making his way toward them. No warning was given to the football players. Before long the bear appeared close 10 the edge of the foe. and he seemed to be in a great hurry. He shambled rapidly along in and out, amoug the bummocks, and every few feet he would pull himeelf erect to suif the air and crane his head anxiously. Closer and closer he came and it was plain that he grew more and more excited. The men on board the ship got out their rifles, 10 make sure that the bear did DO harm Co the men on the ice. The gaunt ice bear came to tbe last hummock that separated him from the field ot play. Que of the men was in the act of kicking the stuhing' out of the ball when the bear suddenly emerged into clear view. The ball fell 10 the ice, the mans leg came hurriedly down on the ice, and the man himself broke for the ship like a deer. There was a succession of frightened shoute. and the ice became alive with running men. Never was there a quicker change of scene. Men stumbled and fell and yelled and fought for grasp of the rope ladder. The men on deck were so conyulsed with laughter that they made no effort to shoot the bear And after the first whoop the bear be- came SO thoroughly alarmed at tbe cousternalion he had caused that he turned tail and fled in a clumsy gaAoD down the ico Youths Con. paniOn.

What is said to be the best record ever made in hoisting dirt from deep ground was that accomplished by E.M. Reyes at l5 below, Cleary, last Friday. In 10 hour workday, the operator hoisted 5jl buckets of dirt, or not quite one to every minute. During the last half hour of work the operator hoisted 60 buckets, or one every half minute. The ground is so feet deep, aud the feat is considered remarkable by all Chatauika mining men.-Fair. banks Times
 Prof. Georgeson, chief of the govern ment experimental stations, has ar- rived in Fail banks on his annual trip of inspection. He has visited every government farm in the North and eX presses himself as we'll pleased with the success of the experiments at- tempted during the coming season. Prof. Georgeson reports that the Si- berian wheat which has been tested at the government farms has reproduced in excellent shape aud has ripeued. He believes that the new variety will enable Alaska to become a wheat coun- try when the soil has been prepared for crops. The wheat, when grown in Si beria, has never failed to produce 8 good crop, and the experiment has shown that it thrives equally as well in Alaska as in its native soil. The Si- berian wheat was discovered some years ago by agents of the agricultural department of tbe United States, who are searching the world over for new varieties of cereals which will thrive in America. Prof Georgeson declares that the discovery of wheat which will ripen in Alaska is of greater impor- tauce than any gold discovery which has been made in the North, as it will mean that the country will be self supporting for a population of millions iu future generations.
 Nome, Sept 3.-The former revenue cutter Corwin, equipped as a Karluk relief boat by Jafet Lindeberg, at his own expense, sailed for East cape, Si- beria, this morning, where the mem bers of the crew will provide them selves with furs for the trip over the ice and also an additional skin boat for crossing leads in the ice. From East cape the COrwiu will sail directly for Wrangell island The ship has a years provisions and plenty of fuel oil. The crew is composed of ten white men, sixteen Eskimos and four Chinamen. They have fourteen dogs, three sieds, two skin boats and a power launch. Iu case the Corwin should be frozen in the Arctic, Mir. Lindeberg will en deavor to have the Russian government send a relief expedition from Vladi- vOStOk along the OlOeIldu SuoIe tO Nolth cape, then across the solid ice to WraDgell island, following the route which Capt.
