INTERESTING LETTER
 FROM REV. SCHRIVER

Our former townsman, Rev. A. G. Schriyer, who is now stationed at Gle Elum, Wash, accompanied by his family is spending his vacation in the east and in writing to A. E. Wilson. of the American bakery from Three Rivers. Michigan, he says; T have given four lectures on Alaska and the people seem anxious to know more about our great territory, as it is much mis- represented in papers and magazines. give two more lectures on Sunday. Sorry to hear that the bottom has dropped out of business in Alaska. Did Rev. Nickerson get his money from the home board of missions for his new church? sincerely hope so. J. C. Smith wired us he was coming through our town so we went to the train and had a chat with him.
 "It is so very hot here that one cannot enjoy oneself, as it has been from 95 to 100 degrees in the shade for several weeks and tre weather man offers no relief Me for the mountains Business is very quiet here in the east, but in some branches there seems to be re- viving and more men are being em. ployed. On the whole the crops look good. From what I can observe prefer to live in the west, where the conditions seem more inviting and the people are more hospitable,'

ALASKA

C. E. Sykes of Ardmore, Oklahoma, one of the big game hunters, whd made a trip to the westward with Dr. Chase in May, and later left Cordova for the interior, is now on Jack Wade creek, where the company of which he is president recently established a new hydraulic plant, which is now operating successfully.
 In speaking of their operations, A. A. McCandless, manager of the com pany says:
 We started our hydraulic work this season June l. and have two giants operating, with 45O inches of water in the ditch We have 5000 feet of pipe line and a mile of ditch. The hy draulic plant which we got from Thistle creek last fall was landed last winter to Wade, and installed and the plant is working well. The line and ditch have capacity of 1,500 lHneS or water, anu we eApeCI to have much more water in time then We are now getting. Just now the giants are working on claim number 12 above, in the creek bottom, Wade creek has produced, according to gov ernment reports. about $2,250 900, and think that is only about a tEird of the original content of the creek. The early miners got coarse gold chiefly. while we hope to get both coarse and fine We now have twelve men working. Lee Steel, thirty miles distant, has about the same number busy on his Dome creek hydraulic works"

MINING
NOTES

claims have been staked on the out. skirts of Kena, and on adjacent hills, including Stand-To, Rambler. Mt. Roy. al and Galena. A large batch of ap. plications for claims in those locatl- ities were received in the last mail by the mining recorder at Dawson, says the News.
 Some of the most promising pros. poets yet located are reported found on various parts of Keno Hill this spring. One of the best is said to be found on one of Tony Hollenbeck's s claims, the Black Cap, where he is reported to have a vein of galena a foot thick and assaying over $2OO a ton. He is continuing to prospect on the claim, and others adjoining the property are hopeful of tracing the vein. The Black Cap is on the south westerly corner of Keno Hill. and overlooks Crystal gulch, and is not far from the Shamrock claim, from which Erickson X Mickey shipped ore winter before last
 Tom Hinton. working on the east ern portion of Keno Hill, is reported to have some fine prospects on his ground. Reports also continus to come in that Mat Butyer, in the point near the mouth of Queen gulch, has secured some of the highest grade samples ever located on the hill, in cluding telrahedrite said to run as high as $l40O0 to the ton. Hec Nor rison's ground in the same vicinity, is continuing to look up good.

Lack of roads in the Kantishna district has delayed the commence ment of operations on at least two big placer projects d whole year, ac cording to J. C. Van OrsdaeI, head Of the Ml. Mckinley Gold placers. If we had had roads" said MT. Van Ors- dael, we would have been operating on our holdings by this time, but as it IS, the commencement of our work has been delayed q whole year. And the same is true of the Southerland How ell hydraulic project on Moose creek"
 The Van Orsdael holdings are l2 miles from the Bearpaw river, and all of the hauling thus far down has been accomplished with the greatest diff lculty immagiIable, through d low swampy country, and without even the crudest sort of road. The work was such that 1t finally had to be abandoned althogether, to await the coming Of snow.
 Dr. Sutherland and his associates have a haul of 90 miles from the Kan Considerable money has been expen- ded on road work in that locality, but the road betweep the river and Moose creek is impossible now, diff ficult of negotiation even for pack tram. It is a good winter road, but absolutly unfit for summer use. The result is that the hydraulic operation on Moose creek cannot be started be- fore next summer
 Besides these comparatively new placer projects, there are q consider able number of hard rock proposi- tiOns, rich in ore but undeveloped be- cause of the lack of roads Many of the properties were lo9ated years ago, and the agitation for road work without avail. Nothing was ever has been loud and continuous. but done in that district in the way of road building until a small sum was obtained from the territory to start winter road from Roosevelt, and the Kantishna oldtimers feel, in view of the showing made by them, that they have not been treated with fair ness.

Hoffman Claims $l8,OOO Damages

Eighteen thousand dollars damages are claimed by Christian F. Hoffman of Greenwich from George Merwin Mead of Rock Ridge, Greenwich. The suit is the result of the mistrial re- censly declared by Judge John E.. keeler in the Superior court in Roff- mans suit against pr. Fritz Carlton Hyde, also of Greenwich, for improp- erly set ribs.
 Hoffman alleges the't remarks at tributed to Mead improperly infiu- enced the jury and caused Judge Kceler to declare a mistrial. The re- marks in question are said to have been made to Hofman's counsel. Judge Keeler at the time questioned both Mead and the jury and as a re- suit of his investigations ordered a niStrial.
 At the time. the case attracted con- siderable attention. All of the par ties are prominent in the business and social life of Greenwich, where Dr. Hyde, against whom the first suit was brought. is head of the Green wich hospital

MRS. J. F. KEANE
 DIED YESTERDAY

Mrs. John F. Keane. who for the past twenty.nlne years has been a resident or Bridgeport. passed quietly away yesterday at noon at St. Vim cents hospital. For two weeks she had been suffering severely from com plicationS resulting from an op eration which took place on June ?, and while hopes were entertained for several days subsequent to her operation, yet her gradual decline and failing strength gave indications that the eno was approaching. Dur ing the 72 hours imm ediately preced- ing her death, her condition was so doubtful that the final moment was ever awaited, but she fingered on un- til the gentle finger of Death beck oned her at noon on Wednesday, June 15.
 Mrs. Keane, who before her mar riage was Susan c. Sheahan, was born in Quincy, Mass For many years she was a highly esteemed or ganist and choir director in Water bury and was also g successful teacher for number of years. She was a graduate of Perkins Institute, Boston.
 After her marriage in Red Creek. N. Y-, August 19, 1891. she came to Bridgeport as the wife of John F. Keane, who is the head of John F. keane & Co.,, the longest a bIished clothing firm of this city. During her 29 years in Bridgeport, she had gain cd countless friends and joined many to hersef by strong bonds of afec ton. Her loss will be deeply felt in many homes where her kindness and thoughtfulness have often frightened a heavy burden and whose helping hand has smoothed the ways that were rough. Ever has she been an inspiration and a help, and sbS leaves an example of nobility q character and lofty ideals of which her life was a constant fulfllment. Long will she be remembered and cherished in the hearts of those who could not fail to love her, and all ways will her memory be an incen- tive to higher and greater things.
 She is survived by her husband, John F. Keane; a daughter. Mar garet; six sons and two brothers. Obsequies will be held at the home, 92 Sanford Place, at 9 a. m. Satur- day. and at 9:30 from St. Augustine's church. where a solemn high mass of requiem will be celebrated followed by interment in St. MichaePs ceme- tery. The firm of John r. Keane & Co. will be closed all day Saturday.
