Seward.-The discovery of new placer diggiugs twenty-one miles north of Cold bay, right at the Mount Katmai, the great volcano which blew up five years ago, became known when a quan- tity of medium coarse gold was re- ceived by a Seward bank from William Rutschaw, a merchant at Cold bay. The discovery was made two months ago by fur trappers, who staked nine claims and washed gold in their spare time while watching their traps. MT. Rutschaw said the gold was scattered along a small creek and advised pros pectors against stampediDg to the new district.
 A communication from Anchorage says: That the wages in this camp aud particularly on work connected with the railroad might be maintained at a fair scale the representatives of the building trades met here last night to effect an organization. Steps were taken to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor and temporary officers were selected. Jobn Mercer was elected temporary president, J.J. Ross, temporary secretary, and A. c. Craig was elected temporary treasurer. The conservative element is to be kept in control aud will use nothing but friendly methods to secure an increase in wages, such increase to be asked in all lines of railroad work. At the meet ing 100 men were present and the re marks showed the intention to be to keep up wages by meeting the employ CTS on amicable terms. The discussion showed that the organizers have spec ial reference to railroad work.
 The Gateway is safe in betting fifty thousand dollars that Mrs. Rose John son, now of Seward, is the best woman rustler in all this wide Northern terri tory. It could stake a million with absolute equanimity because for two reasons, it could never lose the million, and one reason is that the little lady would be sure to prove the winner. Mrs. Johnson is a freighter. When that is said it means an immense lot. Over the winter trails with her dog team, through deep snow, chilling tempera- ture and freezing winds Mrs. Johnson carries freight between the different localities from Seward to Matanuska. In Matanuska she has homestead where she grows her own vegetables and a roadhouse where, at the proper time. she attends to the wants of the mushers in a manner that brings down their fervent praise. This would be enough but listen: Two days ago Mrs. Johnson found no immediate business pressing and out she went to Mile Six and there she caught two hundred salmon trout which she will take for sale 10 Anchorage. Her work could be written about for a volume and it is impossible here to tell all, but one more little fact must be mentioned which reflects credit on this office by it's as sociation with this lady. The last time she carried freight to Matanuska she took along thirty or more copies of the All-Alaska Review and che sold every one of them On her next trip she will take fifty copies of the January number ofthe Review and expects to dispose of them all Ye Washington Wise Onesl Here is an Alaska woman.-Seward Gateway.

 The contemplated building of at least two new salmon canneries at Ret. chikan coupled with return of outside money to the mining industry will mean a lively season for the Alaska town. says o. s.

 The two-year-old child of Titus, a native of Kokrine village on the lower Yukon, fell into a pan of boiling water and scalded his arm and side. The child was at once doused into a barrel of ice cold water and was afterwards wrapped in blankets and cared for as well as possible. The burns were not necessarily fatal, but combined with the shock of being plunged into the ice cold water proved too much and the child died.
 Calling up old times, the Seward Gateway says: Seventy-two below zero is the coldest that any thermometer has been known to register in Alaska since the discovery of the Klondike, and even that chilly stage is believed to be due rather to the thermometer it. self than the climate. Temperatures of close to 70 below have frequently been reached, and while speaking of it and remem boring our sad plight now when the stove isn't drawing we'll and the water for washing is not quite hot enough it may be worth remembering that in the good old days hundreds of fellows slept in tents when the mer- cury cluug 10 fifty and sixty with sort of warm affection and persistency.
 Gold dust, nuggets, or whatever shape the precious metal comes in, would ap. parently have no distinguishing marks, but according to s. V. Pasno and J. Brochu, miners from Ophir, Alaska, the gold from the different creeks and districts bear a stamp of individuality that enables an expert to tell where any one consignment of Alaskan gold came from. An expert assayer or one
 
 who has handled a great deal of gold from Alaska can name the district, and in most cases even the creek whence the metal originated, said Mir. Pasno to a Seattle newspaper. "I do not know just what the subtle differences in the gold dust or nuggets from different dis tricts are, but imagine that the form, color and degree ofpurity are the main characteristics. For instance, the gold from Ophir runs purer chan that from other camps The gold dust and the nuggets from the Klondike have diff ferent appearance from the metal com ing from Nome."
