1T is far from encouraging to the
men who predicted the possibility OF
just what has happened, who have
been working day and night for
months and expect to continue to do
so without thought OF reward, to see
such publicity given to the opinions OF

his name to be made public.
He called attention to the arrival
of q great new dredge at. the canal
October rs. The three most powerful
dredges m the world are In the canal
now. No more can be used efficiently
because the channel would not accom-.

Donald e. Mcdonald. formerly the
geologist 0f the Canal Commission,
conferred recently with General Goe.
thals relative to the slides.
Mr. Mcdonald said that the limit of
earth movement will be reached when
the mass now i'm motion and the mass
that will move later (which he says
can easily be ascertained) are cleared
away. He is confident that Gold and
Contractors Hills will not bother flu
ture canal navigation. The mass now
sliding from the north face of Gold
Hill is only superficial. he asserts, and
its movement does not indicate that
the rocky hill itself ever viii move.

We would call the attention of our outside readers to the weather report published from day to day in the columns of the Prospector It will be noticed that the weather has been exceptionally fine up to the present time, and that our coldest spell has caused the mercury to drop to about four above. This temperature in Alaska would be about the same as 25 to 30 above in the States, as the humidity is much less here, and the cold is not so penetrating or intense. The old sourdough in Alaska will run around with his coat off at tenn perature so low that it would freeze stock to death in the Middle States; and he would not suffer with the cold at that. So far about two feet of snow has fallen, but the days are bright and clear, and shoeing and skiing make the. days pleasurable for our young people.

WHO GO TO ALASKA?

Who go to Alaska? People of all sorts and conditions. The investor, who knows that in new country money is in demand at high rates of interest, and is willing therefore, to suffer the hardships new country imposes; the prospector in search of a fortune in mining, and the farmer or ranchman seeking a homestead on which to spend the rest of his life and take advantage of the opportuni- ties a new country always offers. There are many of these agricultu- ral pursuits, because Alaska is offer ing perhaps the last of the grea'er Opportunities for the United States to give away good farms. Nearly half of the land in the Chugach national forest in Alaska, to which the gov ernment railroad Is to run. has been restored to the public domains by President Wilson. This embraces an area of nearly 6,000,000 acres, but homesteaders are warned that the chances of locating on the with drawn land are not encouraging, as it contains few agricultural areas.
 The department of agriculture Is about to puuA.sh a report on the az ricultural possibilities of Alaska. It announces that the impression that Alaska is a region of inhospitable mountains, glaciers and snow with out farming possibilities, while in part true, overlooks the fact that there are millions of acres of rela- lively low, smooth land and gentle slopes in various parts of the coun- try which are geographically and climatically suited to farming.- Leslie's Weekly.

Anderson Bros. Saltery will ship out so barrels of salt silver, salmon on the Admiral Evans for the market in Seattle. The salmon has been put up in the past few weeks and repre- sents about one half of the sum- mer's output of salmon, by this company. One of the brothers, Lars, will go out with the shipment and dispose of same in the salmon mar kets L~~--ue. It has been reported that salt salmon is worth about $25 in the states now. Whether that amount represents the wholesale or retail price is not known, but it is known that sail salmon is in great demand at the present time, and at good price.--Gateway.

CACHE CREEK HAD
 OUTPUT OF $2OO,OOO

M. A. Ellis one of the large oper- ators in the Cache Creek country, re- ports very good summer just closed and thinks that the output of the sea- son is nearly s20O,O0O. MT. Ellis who has been in the mining game for la good many years in Idaho and for five years in 4Alaska, thinks that Cache Creek is equal to or surpasses any mining camp this side of Fair banks and is the best producer con- |tiguous to Seward. He has at pres ent two hydraulic plants ready for operation in the spring, having but recently installed them. A..nough
 this was practically a year of prepa- ration and installing machinery yet MT. Ellis took out $65,000 of the vel low metal. lie has the greal-S- ---.,n in the future of the camp and expects big things there for next year. Many of the Cache creek operators and
 miners remain there for the winter,
 while other spend the winter on the
 Cook Inlet or in Seward. The out
 put for the past season was consid-
 erably cut down owing to the lack
 of water.

,AsKA's MARRIAGEABLE MEN

Alaska, as a matrimonial bureau,
 .kes good reading for the Eastern
 sgazines, but we of Alaska know
 It the young woman who leaves a
 8 of usefulness in the East to come
 sthe great Northwest on the chance
 cooking sourdough pancakes for
 me masculine aspirant for Hymen' 8
 bose, runs mighty good chance of
 ling hungry. This is one of the
 5ock jokes perpetrated upon the Sminine public by the Eastern space E'iter. The fact of the matter is that
 .lf of our gay young bachelors, who How the alfalfa to accumulate un- Ear their chins while they hunt the Salden nuggets, have come to Alaska N escape that very thing. Of course Nere are many young men in Alaska Tho would jump into matrimony as sey would fall into a stream,-un- S'epared, and with vague idea of ss,w cold and chilly the water was. 70, Catharine, we would advise you E put all thoughts aside. of snubbing 3me strapping young Alaskan to the fatrimonia hitching post, because aey are shy, wonderfully shy, and siser than the serpent. Many of them tight daily at the rivers brink with ome coy, bashful damsel, but With our $500 per hundred and a long ,ld winter before them-well, we aould say not!
 Valdez has many young men who ould support wife in luxury-yea, hree or four wives, but we have cen no mad rush to the matrimonial ounter yet, and there are some lighty winsome maidens in Valdez, ut all the bachelors we are person lily acquainted with are storm-proof nd fire-tested. Nothing less than rass widow with bad cough and
 paying claim could win those we now; and we suspect that the inte- for is full of the same hard-hearted lass.
 But they are mighty fine men, and [ girl did happen to trap one, we would gamble that he would stand hitching the rest of his life. 1t any rate, we would advise our in- uirer not to stampede to this matri- nonial camp without a grubstake or, as we have remarked before, we ave a mighty fine bunch of young vomen in Valdez, and they appear to eed a steam drill to penetrate the rozen hearts of some of our crusty lors.

TIMBER IS RESERVED
 FOR MILITARY ROAD.

Word has been received at Juneau of the establishment of a timber res ervation along the Military road be- tween Valdez and Fairbanks. This reservation will occupy a stretch one
 mile wide on each side of the road for a distance of nine miles. The purpose of the withdrawal is for the
 construction, operation and mainte- nance of the military road, which is built through it, and which will be need6d for the construction of brid Ses and dikes. This is the first timber reservation made in that sec ton.
