The Northern Light, published at the Carcross Indian school, gives the fol. lowing encouragement regarding the activity among the Teslin Indians: The Indians seem to have taken reason able view of the situation in regard to fur. They find that their pelts are still worth fair price considering the con- dition of the market, and so are pretty we'll scattered, and are following up their vocation as strenuouely as in previous years. Some of the natives sold a good deal of meat and fish in Atlin last year, thus helping to better themselves financially.
 The dead and practically air dried bodies of A.L. Dominy and Thos.

 Secretary Redfeld of the department of commerce has announced bis oppo- sition 10 the idea of the Alaska legisla' ture controlling the fisheries in Alaska waters. He declares that the govern ment is better able to take care of the industry and his statement is taken to mean that the federal administration will from this time forward insist on directly looking after the fishing inter- ests. No definite statement has been made as to the opinion of the secretary on the taxing of the fisheries people. It is thought likely that the owners of canneries have entered a protest against the taxation imposed on the industry by the legislature in the ses- sion just ended.
 One of the most important mining deals in the history of Valdez was con. summated when the Herman-Eton property was bonded to the Alaska. Gastineau Mining Co.,, of Juneau, says the Miner.

Thane, who controls millions of dollars of capital for mining development, after an exhaustive examination of the property, made the owners an offer which was accepted, and the work of development will commence not later than the 18th of next month. 1t was through the influence of Col. Willard that Mir. Thane sent his geologist to look at the property, and it is certain that the splendid showing made by the Granite mine, five miles distant, had great deal to do with the Juneau cap' italist entering the Valdez field. The property was located about three years ago and is economically situated about a mile and a half from tide water at the head of Bettles bay, Port Wells. The property consists of four claims and lies at an elevation of 700 feet above sea level.

 Cordova is now the Cooper City" of the United States, as it leads in the value of ore shipped to the smelter. During the month of May the produc- tion of the Bonanza and Jumbo mines amounted to l1,5OOO00 pounds of ore which runs from 60 to 78 per cent cop per. At the market price of this ore, the value would be s1,932OOo. With a stimulated market the output of these mines has been steadily increasing and they are now handling their capacity, which means that the June shipments will be worth more than S2,OO0,000.-.

 Harry k. Nolan, merchant of Mat anuska, a town on the line of the gov- ernment railroad in Alaska, plans an innovation in a freighting boat to carry his supplies to his store from Ship creek. Although there is a shallow slough that comes within a mile of his store which is navigable to boats of shallow draft on the flood tide, boats already in operation of propeller or sternwheel type, have had good deal of trouble with snags and the shallows, so Mr. Nolan expects to build a flat boat and equip it with an aerial pro- pellor like those used on aeroplenes,

RICH CRIPPLE HILL ORE
DISTRICT THOUGHT BARREN is
HIGHLY MiNERALlzED.
Discovery in Molly kathIee on Tender
foot Hi Is Reported to Be Best
Made in Years.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Cripple Creek, Colo.-After a quest
OF quarter of century, prospectors
have tapped the locks of the treasure
valuts OF Tenderfoot hill, which is the
scene of two of the most important
gold strikes ever made in this dis
trict. A find is now reported in the
Molly Kathleen, and two new mines
have been added to the list of pro-
ducers that are expected to rival the
famous properties of the Bull Hill
section.
Following the announcement that a
massive ore body had been opened in
the gold quarry" the name given to
the Johnson Mack lease on the Ella
w. property, the news flashed over
the district of the discovery of ore
running several dollars pound in the
Molly Kathleen.
Both of these properties are stu
ated on Tenderfoot hill, and the same
mineral vein is believed to cut both
claims. Mining men assert that these
discoveries are of more significance
than the recent rich strike made at
1,2O0 feet in the Cresson mines.
Flaring out over the surface of the
Ella w. claim like gigantic cap
sheaf, the ore body was found at
grass roots. Shipments sent to To-
cal sampler have brought returns of
$40 gold ton.
The "gold quarry" is now about the
size of an ordinary living room, and
the ore Is taken out in large blocks.
The extent of the ore shoot in the
Ella w. claim has not been deter
mined.
Samples taken at the Ella w. indi-
cate that the ore shoot will cover at
least an acre of ground. The ore is
being mined in the same manner that
rock for building purposes is taken
from a stone quarry.
The vein of high grade ore discov-
cred in the Molly Kathleen is twenty
eight inches wide, and the rock con-
tains free gold and sylvanite. This
ore shoot was encountered at depth
of 700 feet.
Tenderfoot hill was formerly regard
ed as out of the mineral belt and con-
demned as barren territory. Since the
new strikes were made on this hill
prospectors have been flocking there
in an attempt to trace the veins Of
the Molly Kathleen and the Ella w.
