MATRNUsKA COAL
 AND PRODUCTION COST
Seward Gateway)


 Some of Che newspapers seem to be inclined tc smile at the statement made some time ago that coal may be landed here at two dollars ton from lhe Maanuska. lt must be remem- hered that in some parts of tho Unit ed States coal is mined at an expense of very little more than dollar a ton. With direct line to Seward from the coal fields there is no req son why coal could not be sold here at smoll profit It may be said that wages in the Alaska coal mines will be higher than they are outside but just here the worst feature of the whole thing comes inl Before long wages win go lower here than they ever went before in Alaska. Coal min chs win flock hero by thousands and railroad laborers and others will be here before them in hundreds. The result of this will be lower wage, smaller profits for merchants and oth- CTS. and everything getting cheaper. It is sure though that wages can never be as small here as they are outside in most places There must always be some compensation here as they are outside in most places. There must always be some compen- sation for climatic conditions, yet where the crowd is wages are not

JULY a, 1897, AT MADISON
Groceries and Other Supplies From
Mineral Point.

The capital of Wisconsin like Wash
ington, the capital of the Nation. is a
city made to order, to serve as the seat
of government. The first house at
Madison had been built but short
time, and was still far from completed.
when the Fourth of July drew near.
AS Mrs. Peck, Madison's first home
keeper tells the story Gin volume VI of
the Wisconsin Historical Collections, J
Judge Doty, one of the founders of
Madison, and later governor of Wiscon-
sin Territory, came to her saying she
must prepare to entertain large COM
ing from Milwaukee, Galena, Fort
Winnebago, and other point to view
the place" and celebrate the day. She
protested that the dining room and
upper floors were not yet laid, and she
was encountered with an invalid hus-
band and son. The future governor
answered that he would be her agent
and see that everything needed was
supplied. At Helena was a crib of
lumber, Just run down the Wisconsin
River" Enough lumber for the floor
ing was obtained from this source,
while groceries and other supplies were
procured in wholesale quantities from
Mineral Point. Working night and
day, apparently, floors were laid, and
beds and provender were provided.
The dining room floor was not down
until one o'clock in the afternoon Of
July fourth, but between this and sun
set two or three hundred persons were
fed. '1n the evening"" concludes Mrs.
Peck, "there was a basket of cham :
paign carried into the dining room. and
there their toasts were delivered, songs
sung, dinner bell jingied between times,
and good feeling. friendship, and
hilarity prevailed generally"

WALKING IN SLEEP MEETS WITH
INJURY.

The Orange California; News OF
June 20 contains this report of very
painful accident to John Teasdale,
former resident of Mineral Point, and
man who has very many warm friends
in this community:
In peculiar accident at his home early Sun
day morning John Teasdale Of South Orange
street was severely and painfully injured, re-
ceiying q broken nose and bruises about the
face.
The peculiar side of the mis- lap lies i'll the
fact that i1iir Teasdale was walking in his sleep
when he met with the accident and the manner
in which he received the injuries is not clearly
known.
Mrs Teadale was aware that he had left his
bed about two O'Clock in the morning and
attempted to restrain him, but being only partly
reused herself her efforts made no impression
on the somnambulist. little later she was
completely awakened by hearing him groan and
saw him lying on the floor in a pool OF blood.
She hastily summoned DR.. Chapline to the
house and her husbands wounds were treated.
1t was a bad fracture and the bones were
protruding through the flesh. A long ana
plain scratch on a tall dresser in the room IS
thought to have been caused by collision with
Mr.. Teasdales face No other explanation can
be found for the accident. He was very weak
from loss of blood before his wounds We're
dressed but it is thought that he will recover
without serious consequences
