OOODY IS BACK AGAIN IN
 SkAGWAY

On last nights train there arriV- ed in Skasway a we'll known figure tn the Northland and an old time reside&t Of Skagway, Dyea and Whitehorse.
 On the first day of December 1897, Jerry Doody landed in Dyea and from that time to this the farthest south he ha has been is Skagway and now he is going to Vancouver and points south for a vacation and perhaps to engage in business until the war is oyer.
 Born la old Essex country, Massa- chusetts, Jerry, early in life went west" and after a time in Kansas located n Arizona, where he joined Uncle Sam's army in the Quarter master department and after serv- ing several years, during which time he took part in the capture of Geronimo, the famous Indian chief he went to California and from there to Alaska and the Yukon.
 During his twenty one years in the north Mir. Doody has been one oS the most successful and skilful photographers, with headquarters at Dawson, and has a large collec, tion of views and negatives of the country in almost every part con 'iguous to the mighty Yukon river. He nae taken wild animals of every sort or his native heath, and his nAeativeS of the bands of wild cari- bou, bear moose and others are worth thousands of dollars and these he expects to use if he decides to go into business in the states or Canada
 MT. Doody Is a most companion- ab'. man and has a fund of stories an "reminiscences that makes him most entertaining company.
 He will leave on the Princess Sophia tomorrow.

BELItlE: PEARLS TO BE FOUND
 INLAND SEA

On inc last trip Of the Jefrersoh MT. Thos. Boyd left Skagway for Juneau and Tenakee Springs where he will spend the winter. It is his intention to buy or build @ motor boa in which he will prospect for pearls. During the summer 1905, MT. Boyd was touring the inland waterl of southeastern Alaska and ststeS that he found pearls in the clans that he dug for his food and as pleasure trip more than any thing elsa he will follow this up and see if these pearls have any com mercial value.
 MT. Boyd has large mining inter- ests in what Is known as the SeV- en+r mile country, snd which lies back of and west Of Eagle but is contiguous to Eagle and Forty Mile.
 In speaking of this region and its possibilities MT. Boyd said to 
 representative of the Alaskan, "Trere are hundreds of miles of Vir gin ground along the gold belt that extends from California to Nome. Tais oel4 crosses the Yukon at paw son, runs through Forty Mile and from there to Fairbanks, Iditarod, Kovukuk and on to Nome. It Is about forty miles wide and every creek aud river in this district car rtes more or less gold. The ground around my district is frozen ground and only needs a boiler and thaWing machine to make mining easy. There Is plenty of wood and there is much coal which could be gotten out for the miners if needed. The miners trere drift in winter and Set out their dumps and in summer much open cut work is done. I am min ing on Charley river and have a group of claims that run from 70 cents to S17.00 per foot.
 There are about three hundred men left ip there and they all make more shan wages and many of them make little fortunes and go out and nothing is heard of it. There ~ec.ors who will go in and intelli- gently and industriously striVe to get the metal out. Tungsten and s room for thousands of good pros ant'mony is found quite plentifully' and some platinum has been found. ~ The ground cannot be worked out in a century and vegetables grow and mature. I raise pretty nearly all thai I use for myself and men. It is a poorman's camp and thous- ands O. acres of open ground to be taken un.
 Three years ago there was not big hydraulic plant in the Seventy Mile district and now there are Ross anl Maddsion on Alder creek, Bob Steeln on Fox creek. Charley Yost on Nugget creek and all ara get- ting good pay.
 Game is plentiful and We get All the moose and caribou meat we ne d and many of the men trap iR winter and thus make good money. T-ere are quite few families In there. who live there the year round.
 What 's most needed Are good roaIs The Yukon territory is much more enterprising in putting roaos in and aiding the miner than our own I sm sorry to say, but We are In hopes that we soon will get some attention in that line. can only al. that any may who is look ,np for a chance to mine and get +ba money he will find this an fdesi place to accomplish his ambition. sbau go back in the spring ana continur my work and openup more eround. My partner Is keeping the mine running this winter.
