St. Michael.—Ill 1005 a half
breed Russian named Pitka ap
peared in St Michael with a
sack of coarse gold, but would
give no further information.
The so-called Pitka bar be
came famous locally, and many
miners and prospectors for
years sought to locate it—al
ways in the neighborhood on
Anvik- Owing to having pre
formed some service for the
halfbreed, a man named Enge
stad became friendly with
Pitka, and the latter agreed to
take him to the bar. They set
out with a sled, but Pitka died
on the way, owing to excesses
in which he indulged in spend
ing gold dust. lie was hauled
back to St. Michael, and the
secret died with him- For the
past two years miners have
been working in the Andreafski
district with encouraging re
sults. Now it is alleged that
the Pitka bar has been relocat
ed. Among the prospectors
who are said to have sought
the famous Pitka bar is Rodes
the author of the Kuskokwiw
stampede in 1000. He sought
some few friends here, and
was grubstaked by some St.
Michealites, returned a few
days ago with something over
an ounce of coarse gold and
nuggets. The exact amount is
not known, as he was intensely
secretive, this time confering
solely with his grubstakers..
Three days later he and his
backers to a man started up
the Yukon, telling no one of
i their destination. Rodes’ story
has leaked out and it is to the
effect that when he had about
given up prospecting in the. re
gion, natives volunteered to
show him where there was
gold “heap plenty,” and they
brought him to a bar which is
evidently a crossing ol an old
channel, and in two days he
jpanned out the gold he had
with him. The supposed strike
is declared to be the famous
Pilka bar. and that it is accord
ing to Rodes, the outcropping
owing to the wash of the creek,
of a rich old river channel
which runs clear across the
country and in the hills.

NATIVES ADVANCING
The Indians of Skidgate are
determined to be civilized.
They are now installing im
provements that will make
their village the most modern
Indian settlement on the Pacif
ic coast. It will be somewhat
of a shock to those familiar
with the customs of the Indians
to learn that the Skidgate vil
lagers are spending their own
money for light and water sys
tems. Such things are un
heard of in Indian towns- The
Saturday night bath threatens
to become an instiution among
a race that has always regard
ed water as useful for fishing
purposes and to float canoes.
The Indians recently received
•S2,000 from the provincial
government in payment for the
right of way for the govern
|ment road through their re
i serve. Upon the advice of Mr.
! Thomas Deasy, the Indian
agent, they decided to spend
the money for a light and
water system for their village,
and a Prince Rupert plumber
is putting in the pipe fittings
and hydrants. Twenty-eight
men have been busy on the
dams that will supply water to
the town, and 4,000 feet of
water main has been laid. A
quantity of fire hose is includ
ed in the equipment of the sys
tem. The lighting improve
ment will be a remarkable ad
vance over native methods.
Street lamps of 2000 candle
power will be installed No nat
ive settlement on the North
Pacific can compare ith Skid
gate when these improvements
are completed.—Prince Rupert
Empire.

Liberia.
The republic of Liberia was
founded in 1820 by the American
! Colonization society, which was es
tablished by Henry Clay in 1816.
The capital of the republic, Mon
rovia, was so named in honor of
James Monroe, president of the
United States at the time the re
public was founded. Many blacks
were taken over from this country,
with the idea that, hnving become
civilized to a certain extent here,
they would act as valuable assist
ants to the natives in the work of
managing the fortunes of the new
state. Liberia has never prospered
and is at the present time “in the
hands of a receiver,” so to speak.—
