NOT ENTHUSIASTIC
(0 ; r lov.. A1 iskan)
The action of the D ocratic territoriai
convention at Skagway in nominating
Charie- K. Bunnell of \ ai lez as a candi
date for delegate to congress will come as
a surprise to the Demi era; - generally of the
territory. It was not known that he
aspired to the office, and it was believed
that there were others who would make
stronger • mdidates before the people. While
Mr. Bunnell has but little acquaintance out
side of the Third judicial division, the dele
gates at the convention believed that the
fact that he is a man of ability and with a
clean recod would commend him to the
voters generally, even though they may not
be acquainted with him. Mr. Bunnell will
very likely secure the Democratic vote of
the territory, but it is a question as to
how much of the Republican and Wicker
?hem vote he may be able to draw.

DAWSON POTATOES ARE

! Allowing the average local price of 5 cents
I a pound obtained by the Dawson growers.
' ihis will mean §20.000 to §25,000 kept in
| the country. Other crops grown near here !
also will keep thousands of dollars in the
! country.
i The tomato crop this year is splendid.
Tens of them are being produced near here
: (Trrots, turnips, celery, beets, parsnips, let -

' to the aggregate. Rhubarb also is grown
I here with great success. Malcolm McLaren,

MILWAUKEE COMPLETES
BiG CASCADE TUNNEL
Seattle. Aug. 4. At 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon, when the smoke cleared away
from a final dynamite blast, men from the
west clasped hands with men working in the
east drive of the big Cascade tunnel of the
Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, un
dor Snoqualmie pass, and daylight showed
through three mile- of solid rock. The
work has been prosecuted more or less vig
orously f-. r three years. The tunnel will
cost §2,000,000, and the engineer in charge
expects to have it ready for traffic by the
first of the year.
for fifteen months two gangs have
worked toward each other, and as they
neared the center the excitement became
intense. When within a few days’ work
from each other the desire to let daylight
through the bore incited them to throw all
their surplus energy into their task.
With but a few feet separating the two
gangs, an extra large charge of dynamite
was set off. There was a muffled crash
and when the smoke cleared away the
men were able to crawl over the debris
from one side to'the other.
The new tunnel, which lies between Rock
dale and Keecheius, sixty miles east of Se
attle, will effect a saving in distance of four
miles and will eliminate 442 feet of grade.
It is expected to make the Milwaukee line
snow trouble-proof, the tunnel eliminating
the trackage over the mountains where
trains were delayed last winter.
In connection with the tunnel, which will
be one of the few in the country of its
I Thr Marie F. took a party of limiters to

by Captain Joe Hannegan.

noon last Thursday, in charge of Captain
Ray II 1 Dr on. She will take a cargo
from Holy Cross for Dkkaket and Ophir.
Ray expects to do some duck hunting on
the trip, and is talking of enlarging the
Pup’s smokestack.
Tom Willett has canceled the proposed
Fairbanks trip of the steamer Teddy II..
for the present, at least. Owing to the
copious rains . f the past few weeks, every
body is too busy to travel at present.

KING OF THE BELGIANS
CHAUFFEUR TO AMERICAN
Geneva, Aug. 1. The king of the Brl
gi::n-, mie of the most democratic of Euro
pean monarch-, who ha- been -pending the <
last three week.- in Switzerland, i- here, and
tell- the following story:
At Territet the king and queen were mo
toring. His majesty was driving and there i
were no attendants. The queen went into j
a -hop to make some purchases.
The king was standing by the car read- |
ing a newspaper when an American woman j
came out of the shop, jumped into the car. j
which she mistook for a public conveyance, j
and bade the monarch drive her quickly to i
her hotel. “Certainly, madam®,” said the j
king, and deposited the woman at the hotel, j
Accounts vary as to whether the king ac- ,
ccpted or did not accept any fare.
In the meanwhile the queen had come j
out of the store and was surprised to find
that her husband and the car were absent. |
However, they speedily returned and their j
majesties laughed over the story together. |
Inquiries as to the identity of the Ameri- j
can woman were fruitless.

IDITARCD DISCOVERY, OTTER
Dominick Soruci. who left here last June
for Bear creek, arrived in Iduarod la.'i Mon
day. He reports that the Kuskokwim coun
try looks promising, and he is more than
ever convinced that it \.:11 be the scene of
big operation.'. He has several claims there.
Dominick brought messages from Di.k
Eskridge to be sent by telegraph to his
mining partner, Mcllhenny, containing re
ports of hi summer’s operations, which arc
said to have been of a most satisfactory
nature. Mr. Eskridge, who has been pro.'
pecting his ground with a power drill, sank
holes in different portions of the ground
under his contrt 1 and held under option,
and disclosed a pay streak from 300 to 400
fret wide on Nos. 6 and 7 below upper dis
covery, between 5 and 0 below and between
1 and 5 below. It had already been proven
between Nos. 3 and 4. It is the intention of
Mr. Eskridge and associates, according to
Dominick, to install a dredge on the prop
erty. and Mr. Eskridge will leave for the
Oui ide abet January 1 to make arrange
ments for the shipment of the machinery
up the Kuskokwim next spring.
Danny Brice, who, with hi:s partner, has
been working a force of five men all rea
son, end will take out $10.'.‘00 this voir,
says Dominick. Danny and his partner have
-ix claims on S; ruce creek, a tributary of
Bear, and the gr und is sai l to pan from
1 cents to 49 cents.

THE WEATHER
The weather of the fore part of the week
was extremely wet, and the operators on
the neighboring (reeks have hail no reason
to complain rf lock of water. It is prob
able that the output of the Iditarod district
will be greatly increased by the prevailing
weather conditions.
The rainfall of the past few days is said
to be unprecedented in its persistency. A
peculiar thing has. been noted by a close
observer of conditions here. In spite of
the con taut rain, and after a continuous
downn'iur ' f more than thirty hours’ dura

was said to be three and a half inches 1 over
