The Hope Sunrise mining district IS this year enjoying the most prosperous year in the history of the old camp, acc cording to a recent arrival in Seward from the Turuagain Arm district. There is more work being donein that section tbls year than has been done since the early boom days and the work is all counting. The ground that is being prospected is showing mp good and the properties that are being worked are producing better than was anticipated, and that is enough to make a camp good if anything can.
 Nothing could bring more vividly be- fore the mind the extraordinary game conditions iu this distritt than the re-. lation of a little incident which oc. cured while the Revell-Sweasy party was recently in the hills, says the Sew ard Gateway. The sheep were so plen- tiful that they appeared in hocks, not less than six hundred having been seen in one day. On one occasion two foxes, a black one and a red one, trotted into a flock of the sheep in full view of the hunters. George Cotter, member of the party, says that the sheep inst stopped grazing for a moment to look at the intrnders and then went on feed ing as calmly as ever.
 The seeming apathy in matters poli' tical, which has prevailed for several weeks past, has been broken and candi dates for legislative honors are spring ing up thick and fast throughout the Third division, says the Cordova Times. At this time there are four candidates for senator in the field; T. c. Price, of Cordova, democrat; pr. W. II. Chase, of Cordova, Wickersham; O. P. Hubbard, of Valdez, Frame nominee, and George Goshaw, Chisana, independent. Seven candidates for the legislature are now in the running Thomas Fl. Holland, Chitina, democrat; pr. David Enik, in- dependent; John Lyons, Valdez, repub- lican; J. H. Ingram, Valdez, republican; Al. White, Valdez, independent; J. J. Fiunegau, independents; c. M. Day, Val- dez, Frame nominee.
 The power schooner Polar Bear, Capt. Louis Lane, which left Seattle April 8, 1913, with a party of scientists and hunters, and which was frozen in the Arctic near Flaxman Island last winter, arrived at Nome on Sept. 22d, from the Arctic Ocean, by way of Siberia. Most of the hunters and collectors left the schooner last winter and made their way to Alaska eeaports overland, taking steamers to Seattle. However, Samuel J. Mixter, of Boston, representing the Smithsonian Institution, and George s. Silsbee and John Heard, Jr., both of Boston, sportsmen, remained with the boat all the time and arrived there with her. Captain Lane retraced his steps overland to the Polar Bear last spring and resumed command of her. Captain Lane, who has had many years experi' ence with the Arctic ice, gives it as bis opinion that Vilhjalmar Stefansson and two companions, who left Martin Point March p, heading north over the ice in search of new land, will never be heard from again. In his voyage along the Alaska and Siberian coasts, Lane kept a lookout for cairns that Stefans- son and his companions might have built, but found no trace of the miss ing explorer.

Even Alaska Indians are not above enjoying little private monopoly when they have the opportunity. When the bridge at Salchaket, on the Valdez Fairbanks road, was washed out an h. dian charged $500 each to take white men across the stream in his canoe. He had s27OO wortho white men on board and nearly precipitated row because he wanted to charge the miners SL00 for letting their dogs swim behind the canoe.
 FAIRBANks.-"Old Toby" and "Old Jimmy" Indians indicted at the Ruby term of the federal court for murder in the first degree in shooting and killing a mail carrier near Louden, on the Yu- kou river, ten years ago, while being brought here for trial eluded their guards on the steamer Tanana and jumped overheard at Tolovana, accord ing to word reaching here. "Old Jim my" WAS drowned. His companion was recaptured. Althoug the crime was committed ten years ago, it was not un- til recently that the assailants were identified. A equaw known as "Old Dummy" claims to have found the body in "Old Jimmy's" cabin. She says she was cleaning salmon behind clump of willows when the mail carrier passed by on his way to the Koyukuk with large sum of money in his pos session, and she eays she saw the kill ing. Fear kept her lips sealed until the last term of court. Both Italians con- fessed.
 Completing cruise of approximately l5OOO miles, the United States revenue cutter Manning, Capt. F. G. Dodge, reached Seattle on September 22 from Bering sea. The Manning sailed from Seattle on May 1. She went North via Cape Flattery, cruising in the Gulf of Alaska until June 15, between Yakutat and Kodiak from June 15 until July b, then between Kodiak and Unlmak pass and finally into Boring sea, where she spent the rest of the summer. At Nush- agak, Bristol bay, the Manning loaded sixty head of reindeer, which were taken to Atka island, of the middle Aleutians. The reindeer will be used in stocking the island and will furnish food for the natives during the long winter. Officers of the Manning said that the Aleuts of Atka island are dying of tuberculosis, and it will only be a few years until the island is ie' populated They live in huts built of earth, and in their damp, poorly ven- tilated homes contract disease rapidly. In d village near AgiZa on the Ugashik river, where there was a population of about fifty.seven Aleuts, one birth and ten deaths have occurred during the past year. Every person in the village, men, women and children, was more or less afflicted with the disease. The Man. ming reported that 100 Chinese cannery hands at Koguing, at the mouth of the Kvichak river, Bristol bay, refused to return South on the cannery vessel in port, saying she was not safe. They de- manded transportation on steamer and said if they were compelled to spend the winter in the North, they would burn the town. The owners of the cannery finally furnished them transportation on the steamer Dora. No seal poachers were found during the cruise of the seal islands.
