Through an error of omission the name of Mrs. E. w. Carleton was left out of the list of ladies to whom the Miners Union Committee extended vote of thanks for floral tributes to the memory of the late J. J. Wachenheimer. This oversight is very much regretted.

 The reason that no mail is being dispatched upon the Cordova is be- cause it would reach Seattle at best no sooner than the Umatilla, as the freighter calls at other Alaska points and thus experiences delay. There is therefore no advantage in dis patching mail on boats calling at other Alaskan ports when passenger steamers sailing direct leave within short time of the freighters. Leonard Seppala who is in charge of the ditch gang for the Pioneer Mining Go. was in town yesterday About fifty of crew are employed extending the ditch to the Grand Central over the old Miocene water right. It is anticipated that the Pioneer Company will be able to tap the Grand Central water next year. The Grand Central which flows into Salmon Lake is one of the creeks that in dry or wet years had always an abundant flow of water and it's rights are for that reason extremely valuable to the big companies.

 Charles Mason, the beach miner, arrived in town yesterday. While he went to the Nome Tailoring Co., to find out where Mir. Keene could be located, he left a sack of supplies outside. He was inside but a few minutes and the sack had disappear ed At first he thought it was a josh, but later seeing no one in sight he found to his cost some one had purloined the goods and he had to duplicate the contents of the sack. He says philosophically maybe the man who took it wanted it more than he did.

 John A. Wilson, whose interesting mathematical and astronomical notes are read with so much inter- est by our readers and who himself worked out for this paper the only local tide tables ever appeared in an Alaskan paper, furnishes us with the following notes regarding the Hebrew New Year which was cele- brated yesterday: "The calendar of the Hebrews is irregular and com plicated as is that of all ancient peoples. The so-called era of the creation of the world is purely arbi- tary since the accounts in the differ ent versions of the Old Testament are hopelessly irreconcilable with each other. The Hebrew calendar assumes the creation as taking place 376O before the beginning of the vulgar Christian era. The Hebrew year is luni-solar. That is based upon the phases of both the moon and the length of the solar year, and it is difficult matter to reconcile the lunations with the revolutions of the earth around the sun. An ordinary year consists of twelve lunar months of 29 or 30 days each, making the ordinary year 354 days, while an embolismic year has thirteen months and consists of 3S4 days An embolismic year is intercalated every third year so as to make the mean year correspond somewhat with the solar year of 365 IA days duration. The months commence with the new moon and the year with the new moon, about the time of the autumnal equinox. It may begin as early as September or as late as October D."
