Kenai.
Kexai. Alaska, Sept. IK.—It
is hard to say when our rain this
year will cease. We have had mu< h
more than we desired, and if any
laxly has Ix-en praying for ruin
1 fear they have kepi it up a little
too long.
Quite a numlicrof American and
English hunting parties are up at
Kenai and Kussiioff lakes, and 1
expect they will all return with
good trophiea.
J. F. Kiley, Supt. of the Kenai
Lake Mining Co., ha* just arrived
to go out on the Bertha. Although
he does not seem to he weighted
down very heavily, he expresses
himself as |>erfeetly satisfied with
the ground and the season’s work,
but they had to contend with scarce
ness of water.
Marshal Sexton ha* lieen here
again on his way to Kussiioff Lake
ostensibly to enforee the game law.
and bag some of the English hunt
ers. But when he returned he wa.
occompanied by Andrew Hi rg ami
a distilling outfit. 1 Iielieve he
churges Berg with making whisky,
although Berg was at Kenai ai
ranging about n hunting parly when
the Marshal got to the lake, hut a
barrel nnd a long, thin tin pijie
with a howl, seems to he perfectly
satisfactory evidence to the Mm
sbal.
The marriage fever seems to have
again struck this town. On the
Kth inst. there were no less than
three weddings, one of them being
Mr. John E. Finnegan, employed
bv Mr. Wetlw riiee.at Kussiioff. and
Miss Pol agon Pantilloff. the most |
popular debutante of the season.
Last Sunday there were two morel
unions, l»th in the native society, j
and next Sabbath, I li«!ieve, there!
are to he two or three more.
Mr. and Mrs. K. E. Morgan are
to reside at Kussiioff this winter,
as Mr. Morgan is in charge of the
plant of the A. P. Ass’n and the
business of H. M. Wetherbce at
that place. li. S. M.
Kodiak.
Kodiak, Alaska, Sept. 19.—A few ,
lines front this part of tlie country '<
ntuy lc o» u.i.o interest to a few oi,
the iiiuny readers of your valuable]
paper.
Arriving here one become* fascin
ated with the country, especially:
the town of Kodiak that i* built on
a bench at the base of the high
mountain sloping grandly down to
the sea. or hay, that afford* a fine
harlor and protection to large
steamers in time of storm.
Kodiak has a population of three
hundred and tiftv. AIxjuI twenty
• •
Americans, the remainder Kussian
and natives. A more hospitable
class of people one won’t find in
their travel*. In fact Kodiak is
th«- garden s|>oi of Ala.-ka.
Within the radio* of 2-"* r 30
mile* there are Several good mining
propertie*. On Dry Island Tih-u
A- Bay ley have a gold property
they expert to put a m:ll on in the
near future. In running a tunnel
sixty feet they struck tuo ledges
showing free gold. Brown and
Judge Gallegher have a f-< ;r foot
ledge of gold quartz on K-*lia': ; -
land, on which tliey are preparing
to build a ten stamp mill, which
they consider the development jus
tifies. On tlie lieaui of L'gauak
bay on Kodiak Island. dame- Gal
legher and Jess Bobbins are devel
oping a gold property which crops
out three hundred feet on tlie sur
face with five feet in width, tlie
average away* of which are sixteen
dollars. Tliey will put on a five
stamp mill and add to it during
the summer. McIntyre & Wander
have a* fine a showing of cop{ier
as there is this side of Butte, Mon
tana. The ledge is forty-five feet
in width, with eight feet of high
grade black sulphides cropping out
on the surface. Tliey are develop
ing wi.h the intention of shipping
ore to tlie Tacoma smelter. Also
Goss «Sr MacDonald have H gold
properly near the town of Afognak
that they are developing, which
show* free gold.
There are two hundred and fifty
head of cattle and over H.OOO sheep
on Kodiak Island. They are all in
good condition.
The summer season is good, hut
very little rain. O. L. Siiaxklaxd.

Points On Placer Locations.
L nder the lT. 8. placer mining
law.* one person may make a single
location containing 20acre- of j>a
eer mining land; two ja-rsons may
make a single location containing
not more than 40 acre* in a com
• pact hudy; three may loeate P<)
|acres, etc., but no single location.
' whether made hy eight jierson* or
; more, can exceed IPO acres,
j It has been decided tiiat u single
; location of placer mining ground
, may embrace 20. 40. PO. 80. 100.
j 120. 140 or 1H0 acres, in a compne!
1 body, according to the ntmilicr of
; locators.
If eight persons should make
eight separate location* of 20 acres
each, and seven of the locator*
should convey their claims to the
other, it would require annual as
sessment work of the value of #800
to maintain the jaisscssory right
to all the claims; but, in the ease
of a single location, embracing 1P0
acres of placer mining land, the
owner thereof, in order to main
tain ids |m»«es*ory right thereto,
j would not lie required to expend
#100 worth of mining labor on
J each 2*1 acres tiiereof, hut hi*
I possessory right to the entire 1P»)
1 acres might fie maintained by per
forming thereon #1H0 worth of nc
Itual mining work designed in good
faith for the improvement of the
j IPO-acre location as a single min
• mg claim.
The law permits a single person
i to take as many placer claims of
*20 acres (no more) each a- he may
desire, ami they may lie contiguous
or not, hut require* a separate dis
covery for each 20-acre tract.
Where more than one person (not
exceeding eight) participate-, an
area equivalent to 20 acres for
i each is permitted, but they !ooa*e
the area jointly and are not re
quired to locate esu-h particular 20
acre tract. Iiecoming tenants in
common in the entire area. Placer
ground -o taken also require- sepa
rate discovery for each 20-acre
tract of 1P0 acres. A single nteni
! in r of the party may act as agent
for each of the otlieus and locate
each of the several tracts.
If several persons locale contig
uous claims in common, such act
would in itself constitute co-part
nership, and the proceed- of such
operation should lie equally divid
ed, unless stipulations to the con
trary were entered into by all the
member- of the party holding such
claim- jointly.—Minim; axt» S ikn

Kontacue Island Sinking.
Montague Inland on the Pacific
ocean at the mouth of Prince Wil
iliam Sound, is rapidly pinking, ac
cording to the observation of two
! prosj«ectors, who have spent a pait
I of t tie past summer on the island.
Their attention w:is fir-t called to
t the fact when they were alsnit to
• land, tin* hoat suddenly drop).cd
| as if by the effect of an earthquake,
' and on quickly looking at the shore
j line it was seen to gradually cover
| with water to a m ight of six or
i eight inches aiiove any previous
! high water mark. The sudden in
I undation of the dry earth caused
' the water to lieeome animated with
'air and gas hubbies which, condi
tion lasted fur a considerable tune.
Ti iese occurrences caused t is- men
to investigate when the commotion
had subsided. -
Along shore for a considerable
distance out under the water they
’could see atuMijB* of trees showing
that the tops bad rotted off uUtve
water line leaving the stumps in
tact. There are many acre* of tbc-e
sttunjis, and of such a ranee as to
indicate that the sinking has been
going on for many years.
'Ilie island is aliout f>0 miles
long, and has a high, rugged range
of mountains running the entire
length. It is hut seldom visited
by whites or natives, and but little
I is known of the interior.
Another strange feature that has
!>een brought to our attention in
• regard to the waters of Prince Wil
liam (sound, <s the fact that not a
black mussel can U- found
>here. This wa~ first observed
by the natives, who called the at
tention of prospectors to the fact,
!and the latter, in traveling about
’ the Sound examined the vast beds
of sliciis found everywhere, and
could in no instance find a live
mtlASci.
Clams and fish do'not seem to he
affected in any way, as plenty of
l>oth are taken every day, and it is
a mystery what has happened to
tiie mussels, as the same tiling is
'found in widely distributed locali
ties all over the sound.

Common Council.

According to ordinance 3.°>. aj>- ■
proved Sept. 15. hy the town conn- j
eil. It l*eeame a misdemeanor on and
after that date to have an animal
of any kind roam at large through
the town, with the exception of the.
dog. which was by the ordinance!
allowed to roam. howl, or be a nui
sance in any way provided his;
owner paid a license fee of two!
dollars. A protest was made but1
the council remained firm until the
meeting which was held on Mon
day night last.
A number oi mushers desirous of
knowing what was going on took
-eats in the rear of the hall, and
tor their benefit (?) ami applause
a motion was made and carried,
that the pound master he instruct
ed to quit interfering with the ani
mals for the present, as most of the
license money was collected.
A weaker or more ridiculous
move could not have been made
by the council, in view of the iate
suit entered bv Al. White to re
strain them from destroying the
dogs not paid for. and also from
the fact that most of the money so
far collected has been from a lot of
poor devils who have been pros
pecting all year, and have come
out early so as to get work to hold
them over the winter, while those
w1h> are well able to pay will lie!
■ out later with dogs, and will not
be under the necessity of paying a
tax on tliem.
As a play for the gallery it was
a failure.
