As the result of colliding with drift pile at a point on the Tanana river about fifteen miles below Cinema, the steamer Marathon, her barge and a cargo valued at about 5000 are a total loss.
 New York, Seattle and Nevada min- ing men have organized the World Mining Company, with a capitalization of S25,OOO,OOO. It is said that this com pany purposes to acquire various prop critics in Alaska. Among other proper ties specifically named is the Topkuk Ditch Company at Nome, the Chicha- gof, near Sitka, and various placer properties on Atlin lake and dredging property on the Yukon. It is also con- templated to employ 100 prospectors to prospect Alaska and British Columbia, particularly on the line of the new government railway. The Topkuk property was controlled by the late Henry Bratnober and the operations were seriously hampered by Mir. Brat nober's illness and death.
 H. B. Conway, student at the Uni' versity of California, is registered at the Stevens on his way south for the opening of college work after three months camping trip at Kenai lake, Alaska, says the Seattle P.-I. Mir. Con- way, with bis brother, Dick Conway, and Weston Robinson, both graduates of the University of California, went north last spring and have put in the summer roughing it. The two others will remain north until snow flies this winter, in order to take hand in northern winter sports. "I regret the necessity that compelled me to leave," said Mir. Conway. "I had to be south in time to register or l would still be in Alaska. Heretofore have spent my summer vacations at watering places and summer resorts and tried Alaska as an experiment. There is no place like it, and am going back next spring as soon as hear my last lecture for the year."
 Some three years ago the sentiment of Fairbanks was that this town hold a Semi. Centennial Exposition in 1917, to celebrate the purchase of Alaska fifty years before that time. The sentiment has never changed, despite the Outside influences that have stacked up against it. The men of this town have organ ized a corporation to handle such ex- position. Stationery advertising of such exposition has been circulated broadcast, and every city and town in Alaska is content to have that expos sition in Fairbanks, and it is going to be held right here in Fairbanks, in 1917. It will be the best exposition of Alaska -the real Alaska-that we can put up, It may not be so great as the Seattle Alaska Exposition. 1t will not be SO great as the San Francisco Exposition, But such as it is or such as we are able to make it, it will be ours, and truly Alaskan. Any attempt to split our exposition up into small bits, with Sc, attle as the central show and sideshows all along the road to attract tourists who might be sent here doesn't fit with the sentiment of Fairbanks. All the resources of Alaska combined in such exhibit as those other resources have ever been gotten together in will be none too great to distinguish one Fair banks Exposition,-News.Miner

Gold precinct has been established by Judge Jennings on Chichagofisland. Joseph Bowers has been appointed commissioner for the new precinct. Mir. Bowers is preparing to install small wireless plant at his home, which he will operate under contract with the Chichagof Mining Company.
 A Fairbanks report says that the quartz properties on upper Fairbanks creek are now worked to the limit One mill is overworked entirely, but a sec- oud mill which is now being erected will be ready for operation in a month. The rock now being worked on the Drury property is worth seventy. five dollars a ton.
 Captain George Roberts, whose death took place recently in Seattle, was the captain of the steamer Rosalie, which used to ruu to Skagway in the old days. He was aloo captain of tbe Clalam, which sank with a loss of eighty people years ago. His wife died last year and the captain had been suffering for some time from diabetes.
 District Attorney Spence, who passed by on the Watson, stated in answer to a question that there ie no truth to the rumors about any graft or anything like it in connection with work on the government railroad. The grand jury and the law officers looked into the rumors and found they were nothing but street talk.-Seward Gateway.
 An item in the Seward Gateway, gen. erously copied in all parts of Alaska, that a terrible waste of fish was taking place in Cook inlet, for which the can neries were responsible, is corrected by a more recent statement that it is not SO. The Gateway got it's information from deputy game warden, whom, it now says, must have been deceived.
 In letter to Sam Godfrey, one of the old Fairbanks boys and the discoverer of Ruby, Charles Fornander writes from Stockholm, Sweden, that he is tied up there indefinitely. He went across the ocean last spring with pass ports, but owing to the fact that his second papers are still in Alaska, he was uabbed and held as a prisoner for two days pending an investigation of his nationality. Then he was allowed to land in Sweden and is virtually held there. He wrote to Sam Godfrey to secure his second papers from the court bere.-News-Min
 To the pioneers of Alaska it sounds rather funny to hear warnings given to people to keep away from the territory. What harm in the world would it do if lot of young men did come here and go broke? Why, in the old days men faced the Alaska wilderness when it was something to face. They went broke. Men went broke who never knew before what the word broke meant, and they dug their way out and made men of themselves by doing it. There may be men who might come here lacking the grit to face the music. If there are, keep them out. For their own sake and for the sake of Alaska keep them out. But let the others come on. Alaska needs them and will help them to take care of themselves Gateway,

 According to new law passed by the ! legislature at it's last session, the people of any Alaska town may elect a mayor separate from the councilmen, or they may retain the present method and elect only the councilmeD, who will select the mayor from one of their own mem bers. In Fairbanks it has been i the custom to select for mayor the councilman who received the greatest number of votes, and this is probably as good as any. Anyhow, it seems to be giving satisfaction here.--Citizen.

Fist Fight Suggested.

A graduate of the Naval Academy
who Is not now in the service has
written a letter to Secretary Daniels
recommending that the authorities
encourage fist fighting at the Naval
Academy as a means Of settling dis
putes.
This il one Of a number OF sugges-
tions that have been received at the
Navy Department since the inquiry
into the charges that midshipemn
were aided in passing examinations
by "dope" btained by devious meth
DDS.
Secretary Daniels correspondent
wrote in part as follows
Gan midshipmen should not onlysbe
permitted but should be expected to
fight with their fists for what is right
and against what is wrong in settling
all personal affairs, under rules to be
formulated and Endorsed by the super
intendent Of the United States Naval
Academy"
