AGED VETERAN
 STILL MINING

Capt. II. s. Back, who is inter- ested in some placer ground on Kitchener Creek, 8 short distance below Carmack, arrived in Skag- way this morning on the Humboldt, after spending the winter in Ju- neau.
 Capt. Back will go to Whitehorse within the next few days where he will secure supplies and horses for a trip into his property which he will make just as soon as some men arrive up who are going with the Captain with the view of develop ing the ground.
 On the fourth day of the pres ent month Capt. Back celebrated the SOtn anniversary of his birth, and as he was in Juneau, a guest of the Circle City hotel on this occasion, his many friends present ed him with . beautiful rose wood walking stick as a mark of es- teem and affection. Notwithstand- ing the fact that he has the weight of so years on his shoulders, MT. Back, who is a veteran of the civil war, is hale and hardy, and as he puts it, the only ipfirmity which he has is a slight failing of eye sight, brought about, not by de- clinirg years but by the glare of the sun on the snows of Yukon and Alaska.
 Capt. Back expects to be two weeks in WhitehOrse preparing for his triI. into the interior.

SENATE WOULD REVISE RULES

Juneau, March 15-The Sem ate occupied an hour this morning in debates over the suggested change in the rules. The prin- cipaI change suggested is the cutting down of the number of committees from thirteen to seven.
 IL is keld that the roll call of committees take up major portion of the time of the senate and that this can be remedied by reducing the number of committees.
 It has been the practice when a committee is called to call the roll of the the members, and to record the roll call, and this consumes considerable time.
 After the discussion had lasted for nearly an hour, an adjournment was taken until three o'clock this afternoon. .... .
