 Captain Hekla, bringing eight | passengers from the Yukon arrived yesterday morning with his schooner Ukiuwak from Marshal city. He in- tends soon to launch and use the White Bear. the boat which he has overhauled and heightened and which is now on the | beach off the Stndspit, almost ready. With the owner of the Gladiator ready to launch his schooner for a trip North, this will leave alone the Alaska in this section high and dry. l iol, io vi the Standard Oil is owned by the | Canadian government but is looked after by the Alaska Lighterage and | Commercial Co. as agents. It was formerly owned by the U. s. Mer cantile Co. by whom it was sold to | Stefannson when on his journey north Dan Blue, a Nome miner, shipped as chief engineer on this schooner and he was one of the few who perished up the Arctic regions during the winter, Dan succumbing to pneumonia near the spring. The Alaska is quite sound, stoCky craft and was much praised by Stefann son fer it's effective work in the ice strewn waters of the Arctic ocean.

 A local promoter is evolving a scheme to form a cooperative com pany which will if the authorities over there permit them extensively trade and mine in Siberia. The plans are passed the preliminary stage to such an extent that the in dividual was free to explain what they were. Each member Of this i company is tO be combined capital ist and laborer capitalist to the eX- tent of digging up the same sam as each of the other members of the firm and laborer in that he will have to perform the manual work involv- ed the same as every other member Of the company. They will acquire a schooner and loading it with goods of all kinds establish a post some where on the Anadir. The various members of the company will be provided with handy portable boil CTS where needed in parties of three | seek good looking creeks and pros peCt them The proceeds will be carefully divided in the form of di- vidends. The promoter thinks that about five hundred odd dollars will be enough capital to start in with, but a maximum of a thousand will be certainly set. All will have an equal share. If any member kicks or bucks the traces and wants to get out of the company he will have to accept time notes in settlement of what is coming to him, if there are at the time no available assets. The promoter was quite enthusiastic, although it is possible his experience of Arctic region partnerships may not be profound. He admitted he did not hear of the Yukon partners who chopped everything in half be- cause they were incompatiable with one another, down to theYukon stove and the row boat. That there is a fine field for such a concern where will be no dead heads and all will be workers admits of little doubt. But it might be suggested that to find successful fields for exploitation it may not be necessary to go to Si- beria, although distant fields are all ways the more promising.
