 Provision was made for the appoint ment of five disinterested persons to the properties should the government decide to purchase them. Two of the appraisers would be named by the postmaster general, two by the companies and the fifth by these four men.

MRS. LINDMAN INHERITS
 FORTUNE

Wrangell bids fair to come into the limelgiht by virtue of being the home of an heir to fortune which runs into six figures.
 About week ago Mrs. E. A. Lindman received official notice of the death of a half brother, James R. Daly, at the Soldiers Home in Los Angeles. On a later boat from the South, MT. G. H. Barnes re- ceived from his brother, Will Barnes an article clipped from the Los Angeles Times which he immediately brought to the Lindman home, and this was the first intimation Mrs. Lindman had that she is presumably sole heir to fortune.
 When seen at home Mrs. Lind man admitted that she was very much surprised at the news, Mrs. Lindman has not heard from her brother in. years. While the Lind nan family resided in Berkeley, Cal he visited them occasionally. For some time, Mrs. Lindman, longing to get in touch with one so near 3f kin, has been trying to locate b m out all mail was returned un- claimed.
 Mrs. Lindman wrote to the Sol- diers' Home for details concerning Mir, Daly's death before she. became informed that he had left a fortune, and since then she, has written oth- CT letters to which she hopes to get replies soon. The matter has also been placed in the hands of Los Angeles attorney.
 While Mrs. Lindman does not wis to be considered mercenary, she ad7 mits frankly that an inheritance would not come amiss in these times
 Following is the article from the Los Angeles Timesa
 James R. Daily, Spanish War veteran, who died last week at the Soldiers Home, had $6,0O0 in bank deposits and left property near the san Francisco Civic Center said to be valued at more than. $1O0,OOO,s it was estimated at the Home yesterday.
 "A half sister, Mrs. Mary Lind- man ot Ft: Wrangle; Alaska, is said to be the only heir to the property. w Dhittington of Calexico is said to claim an interest in the proper ties by virtue of q partnership.
 "Daly came to the Home only a few weeks ago, entering the hos pitai for treatment, and little was known of him here. He was fifty four years old and a veteran Of the Sixth California infantry, Span ish War. The revelation of his wealth was great surprise to of ficials and employees of the Home. "

PUTTING PEP INTO GAME

In an engagement on the west front rs this week, an American commander rather astOunded the allies. as we'll as the Germans, with a quite frank Yankee expression to the effect that the American flag had been forced to retire for the m meut. and that it was proposition Americans did not quite understand, therefore "a counter attack has com menced," he added.
 For four days the attack has been under way and the boys have been goins anead. The French and Eng fish quickly recovered from the ex- treme defensive theory and dropped into quick action with the Tanks and the Germans, unable to compre- hend the new phase of attack or ac- tton-it being entirely contrary to tae aIlied system Of strategy-fell back in confusion. And they are still falling back, and many Of them are falling on me front, anu are left where they fall.
 There appears to be a pretty coli cut and definite plan in the minds of the Yankee leaders at the front, and several perfectly good experi- enced fighters are n command. But whether they are veterans or not, there still remains the vital action which has spelled so much in all affairs of Americans.-m quick, but with due caution and calcula- ton.
 The French commander requested the Americans to not attempt 1t, but it seems the boys took 8 look, so to speak, and when the order was given to retrieve the position lost to Old Glory, it was simply mat ter Of Come on, boys" and In. six hours more Huns had heen wiped out and more territory cleared in an unexpected rush than the pre- vious month on the same front had recorded. And French impetuosii saw the virtue Of the virile Tanks and followed suit, and the British conservatives again ullimbered their guns, and smoke was moving on the allied front, and the Germans have been tramping on each others heels, and faced to the rear, ever since. It was 8 brilliant little offensive on the start, but today it has all the earmsrks of wedgiag the Huns and upsetting all the notions that have been operating on the front for four years past.
 There can hardly appear any sug- gesuOn that 1t is part of Teuton trap. Our boys walked into a sort of trap on the 16tn, but they got out so quickly and in such perfect order that the Huns, being sur priSed at the new action, fell into the position on 8 short offensive, and when the snappy engagement was over they were minus 8 great number of men and stores.
 The Americans, while generally considered on the war front as raw troops, are not drifting into the de- fensiVe game, and the radical excep- tion TO allied ruling the other day, it would seem, has brought all the entente boys up on their feet with

Alaska has no peer in the min ing field, and there is as much chance for mining placer in Alaska with machinery as there is for quartz mining. They say placer mis ing does not last, but 1t Is the placer that has made Alaska. They always think there will never be a placer strike like the last one, until It's successor shows up and proves the contrary" This and many more sanguine statements were made by Jas. w. Mcdonald, who has spent 45s years in the mining game in various parts of the United States and Alaska.
 Show me a genuine prospector and I'll Bhow you man who has made his stake from one to a half dozen time. And when I talk about prospectors, do not mean hunters or trappers, or any one who pot ters about town and calls himself @ prospector." Thus MT. Mcdonald crisply ggiVes his ideas of the men who really find the gold.
 And to the people of Juneau, this man who looks forty but claims six ty-six years to his credit, gives a particularly cheerful message:l "The people of Juneau and Alaska do not begin to realize the grand future in store for them," he said. And be bases his conclusion on his own experience aftsr the Civil war.
 "When the Civil war was over it WAS Co West young man, go Vest! Now .here is no West. but the spirit of the young soldiers that settled the West after the Civil war still lives in the youths Of today. The only difference ,s that there are many more men, many times more capital, and very few places to so on the North: American continent, except Alaska and northern Canada.
 "The principle obstacle to deVel- opment of resources in the North heretofore has been to secure cap ital. Formerly 1t was necessary to go to England, France, or some other European money center, and the discoverer of minerals had little left after the deal had gone through the hands of several promoters that were required to bring the raw ma terials in touch with the capital necessary to develop them. But from now on this Will be changed, for the money center of the world is now in New York. And the mon ey is in the hands of men who have the nerve to take chance, and the brains to invest intellientgly." Thus Mir. Mcdonald outlines the sit uation in regard to money after the war.
 III ES6aTu tO INV 6Iauc AiiAhhSb he says: '"The experiments that nave been g. conducted. on a huge scale around Juneau,r at the cost of millions of dollars. have demon stratedi that ground can be worked at a very low operating cost if suf- flcient capital is invested under competent management. This infor- nation gained at considerable ex- pense. will be of inestimableo value to other enterprises that may be contemplated in Alaska hereafter"
 - The citizens of Haines can take heart, too, for this old prospector sees Visions of great things for that city. "Tl my opinion the first smell. ter erected in the North will be at or near Haines. The best natural

MYSTIC KISS SCARES
 APOSTLE OF BUDDHISM

Rev. Mokusen Heki, a Buddhist apostle returning lately from America to his native Japan, was given a re- ception by the Japanese Young Budd- hist Association.
 Accounting his experiences, he told that there was a machine indicating exactly the death rate in America at the Education Section in the Panama Exposition. According to it, mortal ity is remarkably higher in youth than in aged people.
 On one occasion he counseued his audience to come over to Buddhism and get firm faith while they were young, reinforcing his sermon with the demonstration afforded by the death rate indicating machine.
 Impressed with his speech, many la dies and gentlemen congratulated him at the close and some enthusiastic la dies "mystically kissed his hand" to his great consternation.
 Again, when he was the guest of honor at dinner party given by a Japanophile American, a ball was its main feature. It can be imagined therefore, in what an awkward plight the austere holy man found himself when some ladies insisted upon having the guest of honor for their partner in g, profane gyration called a tango East and West News.
