London, Oct. 27—England is
ready for a sea battle with Russia.;
Tbe fishermen insist that the 15a!
tie fleet shall be stopped, and the

North sea affairs are decidedly un
satisfactory to the public.
latndun Oct. 27 -The universal
tone of the English press is for war

Had Only T.irec Mile Portage
Between Chusfcetna and
Copper.
h. I,. Dickey, who. in company
with Jack lansy, put in the slim
mer at the head of the Shiishetna,
rear hod town last Monday
after a rather novel and
surprising trip—surprising from
the fact that they landed at Copper
Center, on the Copper Kivcr, in
iliehoat they built at the head of
the Shtishetna. They would have
come all the way to Valdez in their
Unit had it not been for the meet
ing at Copper Ccna r of Al. \Vliit<,
from which point Tansy turned
hack to guidu him and Ids party to
the head of the Delta, and Dickey
came in over the trail alone.
I’loni the extreme head of the
Shushetna, where they huilt their
boat, they boated down to a tribu
tary called the Tvone river, which
is rather sluggish. They follow, d
this up to its head at a glacier.
From the far corner of this glacier
the (iulkana starts, with a Hat
stretch of country interspersed with
small lakes between. This gave
them an easy portage of ala ut
three miles, which they made m
less than three hours, and th.-v
were then in the (iulkana, which
elliptic* into the Copper above Cop
per Center.
It was an easy trip all through,
and the route will very likely he
used by the boys hereafter coming
out.
