The Gateway makes some pertineut
remarks editorially regarding the
brilliancy shown by the officers of the
revenue cutter service in sending
word of the capture of the Jap
anese poachers to Sitka and then
cacheiiig the Jans in some out of the
way place to tin westward, instead of
bringing them direct to headquarters
here. This brilliant action on the
part of the revenue cutter foice has
greatly handicapped the department of
justice in handling the case promptly,
and causes the Gateway to remark
that the average subordinate govern
ment official knows nothing except
what he acquires by habit.

* < New Copper Strike.
The late Qopper strike made by
Merssrs. Powell & Tremble, near the
head of Cordova bay, is causing no lit
tle ripple of excitement in mining
circles; some of the enthusiastic ad
mirers of th.e find expressing the belief
that it will rival that of. .the famous
Beatson property on Latouche. The
ore is very healthy in appearance and
bears a striking re.-emblence to the
Latouche ore, being heavily impreg
nated with pyrites and carrying free
gold to a marked degree. Over fifty
claims have been staked in the new
district and many prospectors are
scouring the hills to secure claims
there. Among those represented at
the new camp are such well known
people as Kelley Bros, Flyun, Harris
McKenna, Little, Powell, Tremble,
Kippeu, Barret, Hayden, Brown Jc Col

While being towed to a mine near

causing a concussion that was felt for
miles The launch which was towing
the barge, escaped uninjured, except
f >r some slight damage by flying tim

At a place near Rampart called Hot
Springs, forty men were engaged this
spring iu clearing, plowing, planting !
and other purely agricultural pursuits !

shame. According to the tale, told to
-a Times reporter by Burford, he is the
owner of a dog named Jingo, which
animal is the only one known possess*
ing the power of second sight. Bar
ford filled the credulous reporter with
a story about Jingo foretolling the
Frisco disaster aDd the eruption of
