OUTFITS
ON UPPER IDITAROD
With the winter just fairiv under
wav and the shortest day just past, the
microbe of discontent seems to have
broken out on the upper Iditarod, ac
cording to tlie story of Tommy Thomp
son, who returned from that country
last week. He says that partners are
quarreling up there every day and
scarcely a week passes, but what long
time friends part in anger and set up
separate establish meats.
As is well known iu the North, part
ner* locked in the dead silences of the
far away hills will become irrational
and irritable. Thov quarrel at the
slightest pretext, end without rhyme
or reason.
it was one such quarrel that sent out
Charles Sehack without proper pro
tection against the cold. He may be
safe at the present moment but he un
questionably underwent severe hard
ship.
There has been little done in actual
prospecting on un.y of tho tributaries of
the upper Iditarod, except on Rainer
where Ai Rudie and Ole Sanders sunk
live holes on the upper end. No report
is given of what they found.
HE HAD LOST THE
LOST CABIN MINE
John Hansen returned to the city
last week after a diligent search foi
the Lost Cabin mine which hr
found some time ago, as duly re
corded in this journal. Now the
L >st Cabin is lost again for he Ids' j
out on the trip. Hansen couldn’t
make it all tile way. The snow
Was too deep and the going too
tough, and he returned to rest a
while and make another trip latei
next spring. He says that although
it is the Lost Cabin he knows where
to find it and will put his finger
right on it in February.
Just the thing for a Xmas present.

The recent refusal of Receiver Mullen, of the Juneau land
office, to accept $40,000 from S. A. McKenzie and John Robarts as
final payments for their coal claims at Controller bay, Alaska, was
in accordance with a decision rendered by Attorney General Wick
ersharn. The opinion of the attorney general establishes the pol
icy that the land department will not issue final receipts until the
charges of fraud in connection with the location of Alaska coal
lands has been disproved.
The state supreme court of Oklahoma has banded down an
opinion upholding the constitutionality of the amendment which
requires that every voter shall be able to read and write. By this
decision thousands of negroes and Indians throughout the state,
who have been permitted to vote at previous elections will be
disfranchised.
Once a star of grand opera, the Baritone Pozzi has died miser
ably at Trieste, Austria, Pozzi was famous enough 20 years ago
to be chosen to create the part of Alfio in Caiz Nascagni’s "Oa Val
eria Rusticana” at the Scala opera house, Milan, Italy. Afterwards
he starred in America, where he amassed a large fortune. Appar
ently he could not keep his hold on popularity and money, for he
gradually sank to the position of scavenger, and in the end was]
picked up dead in the streets of Trieste
After a chase by detectives from Scranton, Pa., to Orkney,
New Zealand, and back to America. John Majore.s is under arrest j
at Charleston, S. C., on a charge of embezzling $6,000. He ad '
mitted his identity but denied his guilt. He represented foreign I
bankers and shippers. When arrested he was a private of marines!
on the station ship Texas.
Observation of tides made by the United States survey ship!
McArthur in Turnagain and Knik arms, Cook inlet, Alaska, give!
the first scientific data of what are probably the second highest j
tides in the world. Captain Henry L. Beck, of the McArthur,
noted tides of 35 feet variation, and a tidal current of eight knots.
The only tides which are known to exceed this record are in the
Bay of Fundy. Surveys made by the McArthur and other govern
ment vessels at work during the summer in Alaska waters indicate
that Cook inlet is much freer from shoals and is easier for naviga
tion than was supposed. The old maps show many shoals that do!
not exist, the tide rips caused by the extremely high tides having
been mistaken for breakers.
W’hen ex-President Roosevelt was seen and asked to give his
opinion on the outcome of the election in New York and other sec
tions of the country where the Democrats had enjoyed a landslide,
he stated: “We have been beaten to a frazzle, and the fault isn’t
with any particular individual for all worked like beavers to bring
about a victory for the Republican candidates, but the people are
drifting away from us- There is something radically wrong, and
it is the duty of every loyal Republican to find it out and see that
the same is corrected between now and the presidential election or
a greater victory will gravitate in the direction of the JeJersonites
than the recent movement in their direction.’’

PORTIONS OF KUSKOKWIM
IN THE BANANA BELT
Up»there near the head of the Kol
makofski, that river whero they are
now finding gold, they do say that the
winter season is forever mild.
Tommy Thompson, who has been
prospecting on Suter creek, a tributary
of the Kolmakofski, met two trappers
on the slope of the Sawtooth range
where Suter creek heads, who told him
they hud been in that region continu
ously for ten years. They said that the
winter never became severe, but was a
continuation of rains and snows with
mild freezings in between.
They are developing a galena pros
pect just now, but for a number of
ye trs past they did little bat trap mar
ten and mink with an occasional fox.
Big game is very scarce over there,
but on the divide between the Kuskok
witn and the upper Iditarod birds can
be secured with a stick.
This country is particularly interest
ing just now, because it was almost a
certainty that white men have trav
ersed it as early as 8* years ag '. The
mouth of the Molmakofski is u*x>ut 50
miles below Georgetown, and it i> liet e
that Ivan Simonson Lukeen. a Rus t in
creole, built a stockade in 183d, the
place being called Lukeen’s Fort. In
18+1 it was partially destroyed by the
Indians with fire, whereupon it was re
built by Alexander Koltnako! and took
his name.
Below Suter creek, near the headwa
ters of the Kolmakjifski, is Homstake
creek, and it is vaguely reported that
a number of men were working there
all last summer. They were forced to
lay off for a while this winter in order
to get grub.
