 The missionary remained there un til 1874, when the news came to him that the spiritual Jurisdiction of the Alaskan territory had been entrusted to the Bishop of Victoria the saintly John Seghers, who ultimately gave up his life in the work. In July, 1887, this prelate. with one companion, Father Mandart, made a preliminary voy- age to St. Michael, and went up the river as far as Nulato. During the fol lowing winter he visited many native villages, and in doing so underwent severe privations. Before his return to civilization. he promised the Tan'a that he would establish missions among them. In the interval Bishop

m RIOR TO the cession of Alaska
 to the United States, no Catho
 lie priest had sojourned in the Territory. In 1872. Francis Mercier
 chief agent of the Alaska Commercial Company at Kuklukhoyit, alarmed at the constantly threatening attitude of the Tens on the Yukon and Panama. took steps to introduce Catholic mis- sionaries among them. He invited the Oblates of Mary Immaculate to take up the work. In the autumn of 1871 Bishop Gut, of the Athabascan
 Mackenzie district, with two com. panions, Father Lecorre and an In dian interpreter named Silvain. cross ed over the mountains and wintered at Fort Yukon. The following Spring the two sailed down the Yukon river to Nuklukhoyit, where they met a large number of natives form the Panama and Koukuk districts. They then continued their journey down the river, instructing both Tens and Eskimo adults and baptizing their children. Notwithstanding the oppo- sition shown by the Shamans and the Russianized natives, the Oblates con- sidered the prospects so bright that they decided to establish stations on the Yukon. After spending a year

lecture Apostolic, with Father Tosi, S. J., as the first incumbent of the of flee. He exercised his duties as Pre- feet Apostolic until March, 1897, when he resigned. owing to failing health. and died. at the age of fifty-one at Juneau, January IA, 1898. The Very Reverend John B. Rene, S. J., was ap- pointed in his place. He resigned in March. 1904. and was succeeded by the present incumbent, the Very Rev. Raphael J. Crimont, S. J.
 The conditions of the Alaskan mis- sion have changed greatly since the advent of the first missionaries. The discovery of placer gold mines and the influx of miners into Alaska. during the past fifteen years, have robbed AL aska of its primitive isolation There are resident Jesuit priests at Juneau. Douglas. Skagway. Ketchikan, Val. deg, Gairbanks. St. Michael. Nome, Mary's Igloo. Nulato, Ruby. Holy Cross. Akularak. Pilot Station, and Panama. From these centers white or Indian missions are attended at Wran gell. Sitka. Haines. Thane. Eagle City, Circle City. Fort Yukon, Forty-Mile Post, Golden City. Council City, Sew ard. Cordova. Chenilia, Kliketari. Pastolik. Piometallic. Stebben. Noun tain Village. Tokchogomute. Kikrines. Louden and Pimute. Among the ma tiveS tribes there are also missions, exclusively Tens, on the Yukon at Koserefski, and Nulato. The Eskimos in the Nome District, on the Kuswo- kwim and in the Yukon Delta are al. so attended by Jesuit Fathers and Brothers. In Southeastern Alaska, owing to lack of men and means, no Catholic mission among the Thinkets has yet been established, although several members of that tribe have already joined the Church. A training school for boys and girls exists at Holy Cross Mission near Koserefsky The girls are under the care of the Sisters of St. Ann. These native chil dren are taught the arts of cooking sewing, etc; the boys with the Jesuit lay brothers as inspectors, are taught gardening, carpentery and smithing of various kinds. The lives of the mis sionaries who are devoting them selves exclusively to the native pop ulation are lives of intense isolation but their personal sufferings and in conveniencies count for little when there are souls to be saved.

and were hostile toward the Russians, which greatly impeded any attempt to spread the Christian faith among them.
 The spread of the Christian re- ligion among the Thlinget Indians be- gan in 1884, when the first Apostle of Alaska, the Rev. John Veniaminoff, was transferred from Unalaska to Sit. ka. After his arrival in Sitka, Fath- CT Veniaminoff continued in the same able manner that life work to which he had so intelligently devoted him self during the years of his stay in Unalaska. He began by learning the Thlinget language, continuing his studies diligently until he had a thor ough mastery not only of their Ian. guage but of their tribal customs and beliefs. And then he preached the
