Going Tin Tarawa.
Bob. Fulkerson, in the employ of
Btephen Birch, of the Chittvna
Mining and Exploration company,
mnde a hurried trip over Marshall
Bass and down the Tasnuna to the
Copjier river. The object tieing to
ascertain the condition of the coun
try and the advisability of using
that route for sledding into the
(’bittynu country. Bob. left hen
on Feh. 2 and returned on the 15th.
taking five days to return. He re
ports the conditions very favorable
and the weather on the interior
quite cold. The rivers are fmsen
over—there being an occasional
opening, which is no detriment to
the trail. The snow is not more
than eighteen inches deep at any
point and the drop below the can
yon is quite gradual, so everything
tieing favorable the large outfit of
the uliovc mentioned company will
he taken over that trail.
Absent Minded.
The “Orderly,” n paper published
at tlic Hill Military academy, Port
land, where Dick Brown is attend
ing school, publishes the following
jokes on Richard:
B-N (to the street car con
ductor): “Let me oft' when you get
to the reservation—1 mean the
reservoir.”
Oihi. (at central office): “Nickel,
pli •use.” “What are you doing at
that’phone?”
B—x. “I’m from Alaska, and
I’m dropping in gold dust.”
Overland Cable.
For n stretch of 400 miles the
Yukon telegraph line U-twccn Tele
graph creek and Tagish runs
through a wild, mountainous coun
try, difficult of access, and liable to
snowslides, which render the main
tenance of the line almost impossi
ble. Frequently poles and wires
are buried under twenty feet of
snow. At other times gules of
wind sweep over the track, uproot
ing trees, which fall across tin
wires and disrupt the line.
Owing to such causes, telcgraphic
"—i
communication with the Yukon
has been interrupted twin1, for con
siderable |ieriods, during the pres
ent winter. The department of
public works lias dwided to over
come the difficulty of the situation
by substituting for poles and wires
an insulated cable. The cable will
be laid on the surface of the ground,
and. it is thought, will remain in
tact under the most exacting con
ditions, without any special protec
tion. Surface cables of this sort
have been tried in Central Africa
with satisfactory results.
The work of laying the cable
section of the Y'ukon telegraph line
will he commenced probably as
soon as the ground is dear of snow
in the spring.
