 "Kiug George" a blind native, died last week at Wraugell at the age of so years. "King George" is one of the last living slaves of the Alaskan natives having been captured and brought to Alaska over sixty years ago by the Klawock tribe returning from a plum dering expedition down into the Can- adiau territory, and it is probably to that fact that he was called "Kiug George" At the time he was brought to Alaska he was only a boy, and worked as a slave for the Klawock na tives until the advance of the United States government placed that under the ban. Then he was given his free dom, although @ close watch was al- ways kept on him because he was sup posed to be the grandson of an evil spirit and associated with witchcraft
 It seems to be generally understood in democratic circles that George B. Grigsby, of Nome, will secure the uom- ination for delegate to congress at the coming territorial convention, which will likely be held at Seward early in the spring Mr. Grigsby was formerly district attorney of the Second division under the republican administration, but claims to have always been a dem- ocrat. Sidce he lost his office owing to his independence and his refusal Co do what the powers asked him to do he has been identified with the democratic party in Nome, and was one of the strongest supporters of Robert Jen nings in the last election bat one. In- deed, Grigsby was slated then for place and would probably have re- ceived it were it not for the fact that the administration took it upon itself to send -carpet-bsggers. Grigsby oc cupies a position politically similar to that of Marshal F, R. Brenneman, of Valdez. When Breuneman was ap- pointed United States marshal every one thought him a republican because be held office under a republican ad- ministration, but Marshall, who is now vice president, knew Brenneman when the latter took an active part in demo cratic politics outside. The same may be true of Shorthill, secretary to the governor, whom everyone thought a republican, but who declares that the only president he ever voted for was William Jennings Bryan Cordova Times.

The Cook Inlet Pioneer states that
 small stampede is under way from An
 chorage and other points in that locality
 to the headwaters of the Lewis river.
 The stampede was caused by the report
 that a white channel, similar to that of
 Eldorado at Dawson, had been found
 and was believed to be the source of
 the placer gold. The reports concern.
 ing the find were conflicting, but the
 magic name of "white channel" was
 sufficient to start oldtimers on the
 stampede.
 F. R Brown, president and general
 manager of the Delarp Development Company, returned from Unga by the steamer Dora, says the Seward Gate
 way He states that the cyanide mill constructed for the purpose of treating 4O0,O00 toue of mill tailings from the old Apollo mill which averages three dollars per ton in gross value, has been completed and placed in operation. The cyanide plant was compelled to shut down a month earlier this season than usual due to the cold weather freezing the water supply. The cyanide adjunct has a capacity of 800 tons per day and consists of five steel tanks plus filters, vacuum pumps and zinc boxes. Zinc shavings are used as means of pre- cipitating the gold and an extraction of 85 per cent is maintained. It is the purpose of the management to actively start operations at the mine the coming spring and the property on obtaining full capacity will employ two hundred men. The mine properis known as the Apollo and is located on Unga island. MT. Brown is on bis way to San Fran cisco to report to his company in detail the season's operations.
 Alaska's growing importance and it's large influence upon Seattle's business is evidenced by the figures of the bus mess of the year just closing For the year 1915 the gross value of Alaska shipments in an out of Seattle, and in elusive of the Tacoma smelter ship ments, will reach S77,OO0,OOO aud pos sibly 58O,OOOOOO, compared with S66,- 500,0OO iu 1914, says the Seattle P.-L In machinery, lumber, building ma terial, clothing and food, Alaska took S23 100000 worth during this year com pared to S2lGO00OO worth last year. The copper production reached 5ll,0OO,- coo this year, compared with S3,365,000 last year. The territory produced S15, 0OO,OOO in gold during the year; fisheries produced S2l 100000, In gold, copper and fish alone the gross product was valued at S47,OO0,OOO. Practically all of the trade of Alaska is accomplished through Seattle. The Tacoma shelter cares for the copper production, and the Selby smelter, of San Francisco, and the San Francisco mint take DOT tion of the gold product Aside from these items, Seattle cares for the whole territorial traffic, and it is only Amerl- can port having regular steamship con nections with Alaska The record of the territory is one to justify the title of the nations treasure house." but the development now going on will be evidenced next year and succeeding years in increasing bulk. Only be- ginning has been made, and the gross business of s77,OOOO0O to s8O,O0O,00O of this year is but an earnest of what is to follow

The pass over the divide from Turnagain Arm to Portage Canal is only 500 feet above sea level at the highest point, while the Seward divide is said to be more than 2,2OO feet high and wind swept. There are road houses at both ends of the Portage Passage route which would accommo- date the ravelers.-Alaska Times.
 The important feature about the re. port of the federal bureau of mines on Alaska is the great development re. corded in lode mining, the permanent phase of the mining industry is in con- tradistinctiou to placer mining, which is generally ephemeral There is re- corded among the improvements for the year the completion of one 900. ton copper plant, one unit of the great 1O,O0O.ton milling plant for ere carrying gold values, and several small mills and cyanide plants, says the P.-L Of the 5000 men now engaged in mining in Alaska, 8 per cent are working placer while D per cent are now engaged in hard.rock mining. The remaining 10 per cent are working in quarries or on dredges engaged in placer mining. The opening and deveI- opment of hard-rock mines in Alaska means the establishment of great and permanent industry, one which will be in operation generations from now. Placer mines are worked out within a relatively brief period. The opening of new placer districts means a great rush, the building of boom mining camp; fortunes for the few aud wages for portion of the others. Then the mines are worked out, the camp drops back and sometimes goes entirely out of existence. Lode mining means per. manence; steady work at fair wages for a constantly increasing army of men; solid little cities, with homes and all of the surroundings of a substantial man. city. The future of Alaska is largely to be based upon the develop. ment of lode properties; tbe great mills and smelters which are being estab- lished and which are bound to expand to enormous proportions. Alaska has passed through it's first period of mining development. It is entering upon it's real, importantand permanent expansion with the opening and the development of it's great lode mines, nnly very few of which are among the producing properties, where there will in time be thousands,
