There was strong indication today that

S1.-The Canyon district of Renal Peninsula will prove one of the biggest gold producing dis. tricts of the North with the coming of the railroad and the possibility of gettin the proper equipment, says J.

It is bounded on the north by Turnagin arm, on the west by Resurrection river, on the south by Renal lake. and by the government railroad on the east. The natural boundaries form a rough square and the entire region is cut up by hills and creeks. making 1t an ideal location for the use of hydraulics.

COURT CALENDAR IS
 AGAIN SWITCHED ABOUT

The calendar in the United States district court was completely changed at a special session of attorneys be- fore Judge Jennings at Il o'clock this morning. The following is the as- slgnment as taken from the clerks records, and shows the order in which the cases were set:
 Alaska Supply Go. ys Orsen.
 Vim & Burton vs Hallum Construc- ton Co.
 Johnston vs Sheldon.
 Hadland vs Field.
 McTague ys Sales.
 The case of Hil vs Meyers was set for the next term of court and Judge Jennings set Monday. March 6, as the time when 1t shall be heard. The case of the Douglas Island Temper ance Society ys Fred KronQuist was stricken from the calendar it being a case Tn equity.
 The McTague case might be called up as soon as witnesses arrive from Wrangell which cannot be before tne end of the week unless steamers oth- CT than the regular liners arrive be- fore then.
 During the setting of cases and the arguments for disposition, several waves of merriment quietly swept over the attorneys and others. One attorney would protest against the postponement of case citing the fact that the case had been continually de. ferred for the reason depositlons had not arrived. The attorney would ar que against this seeming delay as plenty of time had passed for deposi- tons to arrive. Possibly in the next case the attorneys argument for postponement or resetting, he would use the argument that he had been unable to obtain depositIons.
