I on the road below the milk rancf beyond East Front and it is now ir as good fashion as a man or an au toist or freighter could wish. In ad. dition. the road commission is send. | ing out a crew to the camp just established on Dexter, the men go- ing out there last night. This crew will work in three directions, down towards Grass Gulch and Dexter and up Dry. The need for road making in that section is very obvi- l GUS because of the fact that Dexter has for the past couple of years been the busiest section of the whole mining camp, especially in the winter

 In a letter coming in on the last mail (via the Latouche) there was the statement made (the letter was from Washington D. C.,) that Sen ator Ollie James was working tooth and toe nail in an effort to get the appointment of Marshal se- cure for one of the Webbs in the Second Division of Alaska. The writer did not say what success would attend this sen atorial effort except to intimate that James had made little claim to patronage in the past and had his first favor to ask of the President and so had big pull.

 There was not a lift running on the Pioneer ground yesterday. The reason for this was the lack of water, early yesterday morning the ditch having broken at the Santa Clara. For the past few days it has been raining copiously in the hills and the strain became too great at the Santa Clara. A large gang was on hand in short order to attend to the reconstruction of the water way and it was expected to give the repair work the rush act with many men. The Pioneer has been on the whole quite fortun- ate this year having sustained but few breaks or delays to their ele- vator work on Little creek.

 One of the owners of Nome's mosquito fleet is now planning an
 
 order to finally salvage what may be Jeff there of the Great Bear. wrecked last year when Borden and Lane started north on an intended trip of the Arctic. The machinery and other material is still supposed to be intact and it is held that the salvaging would well repay the trouble. This however is doubted by many of the master mariners here. The captain who planned the expedition had intended 70 make use of the sane pass which the Gla- last year, but it is understood that the Captain of the Bear could not see it that way and insists that an- other pass or authority to use the old one be obtained from Washing ton. Mathew island is bird re- servatiOn, being one of the many places of this territory wheTeon the Washington government has for reasons that never appealed much to Alaska placed their official Yer boten in true bureaucratic style. To visit the island and to make it rendezvous in any way requires a permit, The question whether or not there is anything left of the Great Bear worth salvaging or even diving after is one about which the sailors themselves are very much in dispute over. The Great Bear is supposed to have a very fine engine intact which would alone repay the costs of the trip and then some. That the wreck may have broken to pieces and slipped off the rocks into very deep water is the view of quite a number who have been to the locality.
