_ Many Mining’ Deals.
A. W. Tibbitts writes from Seat
tle that there are a number of min
ing deals now on and pending on
property around Prince William
Sound. He has sold two groups of
four claims each on Dryer bay,
Knight’s island, to a company
which will stock them. The capi
talization of the company is $500,
000, shares $1, to be placed on the
warket at 50 cents. The claims
are near the property of the
Knight’s Island Consolidated Co.
The price paid for them was
•575,000. He says copper proposi
tions are the thing now and Prince
William Souud has the call.
T. R. Ball, who recently located
some good property near Dryer
hay, is organizing a $1,000,000
company in Chicago, with good
success, and T. I). Bradford has
floated a $2,000,000 proposition
which will be handled by Boston
parties.
Correspondence.
Coal Harbor, Pec. 29—The new
»
saloon of Peter Nelson of Unga was
totally destroyed by fire last week.
i \
The passenger list of the Dora,
from the westward, includes, the
names of Peter Nelson and tl. S.
Marshal Vawter, the latter in
charge of a Russian native, Evan
><»rokihoff, alias Smokev Jack, who
has developed dangerous symptoms
of insanity.
The three masted schooner “VV.
H. Diamond,” arrived at Unga
Dec. 20, and is now loading 850
tons of salted codfish for the Alaska
Codfish Co. to San Francisco.
The crying want of the town of
Unga is a school teacher for the
public school. This school, with a
daily attendance of thirty pupils,
lias been closed for three years,
from pure neglect of the general
government in providing a teacher.
Petition*, remonstrance* and pro
tests, seemed to have totally failed
* of results.

YO NEW YORK FOR REST.
tltMmrg Goes to Gotham and Batin*
to a Sky-Scraper for
Quick
Isn't it strange that people should
go to New York to rest op? You
know what Broadway and Fifth
ivenue are from Thirtieth to Thir
v-fifth street—the densest, noisi
•
•st place in the world, writes a cor
-espondent of the Pittsburg Dis
patch. Yet I know a prominent
Pittsburg business man who
when he gets tired, slams down hi*
•oil-top desk, seizes his case ami
akes the train east. In New York
ie patronizes a well-known hotel
nuch favored by Pittsburgers
,isks for a room on the twelfth
door, aud'if be gets it, or one on the
door either above or below, he is
happy. Twelve floors up he is re
moved from the noise of the bus>
pavement below. So far as qui
etude is concerned he uiight~~ai
well be in a country village. Ii;
the morning the bright sunshine
steals in at his window, which
overlooks the river and the dock*
below. At night the view is one ot
enchantment, watching the ves
sels move to and fro with their
myriads of lights.' And, although
there is gayetv below in a dozer
corners of that self-same hotel, nc
sound of it ever penetrates to hi*
quarters. But this is only one ol
the many possibilities of a won
derful town.

| would fall to pieces, says Modern
Society. Everything that is ad
dressed to the “honorable side” of
, the room—that is, to “you”—or
in any way refers'to your posses
j sions or concerns, must be mod
'led on a certain form of adora
tion, overwhelming, almost snf
focating. But anythin" tbnf has
to do with the “groveling side”—
that is with “me” or my concerns
—must take on a peculiar belit

temptuous form.
Thus, at setting out one has to
learn that all one’s own things arc
low, mean and vile, while the
other fellow’s are admirable, hon
orable, august, divine. If Jones
wished to borrow a knife • from
Smith to sharpen a pencil, h*»
would say: “May I taken jour
honorable knife in my dirty hands
to sharpen my still dirtier pen
cil?” And Smith would reply:
! “Certainly, here is my filthy knife;
when you have deigned to sharpen
you august pencil with it I beg
that your augustness will conde
I scend to hand it back to decayed
me so that I might place it in my
filthier pocket.”
