other organization has the organized

vancing Alaska that this body has,
and its influence will be great in the
advancement of this territory.
Organized in Ska gw ay in 1>P«8 during
the great rush to A1 iska, it has
grow n from one small lodge of a few
mem Iters to twenty-one lodges or j
camps and 1‘*'' members. It- aim is
to nelp and assist one another, protect |
their interests, build up Alaska and
the Yukon territory, and not least of
its obligations i- to protect from abuse
man’s best bruit friends, tin dog and
horse.
The Arctic Brothers have been
called the **Klks of Alaska." and while
the order may have some of the fea
ture- of that order, yet as an organiza
tion it -tands by itself. It i- a secret
fraternal organization, having many
of tin n atures of other secret orguui-!
lions, but has many featur* - that are
peculiar to it and the country in which
it exists.
The organization ha- just held it
fifth annual grand encampment at Se-j
at tie, and the re|H>rt of the grand
recorder show-that there is a subor
dinate camp in every place of any im
portance in Alaska except Seward, and
prophe-ic- a good camp in this grow
ing tow n. The members here expect
within a short time to have one of tin*
best camps in Alaska.

WORKING ON TIRE QUESTION
Citizens Propose to Give Ball to
Raise Funds for Protection
At the meeting held last night to i
discuss the question of better protec
tion from tire for the town a small num
ber of citizens attended and after some
talk adjourned to meet again next
Monday evening. On account of the
short notice it was impossible to draw
t large number to last night’s meet
ing.
Opinion was unanimous that Seward
should have a volunteer fire depart
ment with additional equipment. In]
order to give a start to such an under
taking it was proposed that a bail be
given to raise funds for equipping a
volunteer department. This proposi
tion met general approval and it will
l*e taken up at the meeting Monday
evening, which will hi* held in the
tire station, next to the post olliee.

W IMPLAUSIBLE PROMOTER
Mining and Scientific Press Ex
poses a Clumsy Fraud
A >hort time since a report was in
circulation in a Western city which
purported to state the conditions ob
taining at a gold mine, the name ot
which was given in th.s report, written
bv a person signing "K. M. after bis
name. The “report” was chielly
noticeable for poor spelling and mis
application of geological and other
terms, which clearly indicated also the
misuse of tin* “II. M.;“ but. aside from
tii tin* several statements contained
in tin* report w -tv* somewhat singular,
as one would e\p**ct a mine possessing
id.- advantages, and particularly the
ore stated to exist on this property, to
ho in operation. It was a matter of
constant surprise that so evidently
valuable a mine should remain so long
idle. Among other statements was
one to the effect that there were sev
eral thousand tons two or three
thousand which would mill $1S pet
ton in free gold, lying on the dump,
with a 10-stamp mill standing on tin
ground near as hand, and a 4-foot vein
of s;;o roek standing in the mine ready
for stuping. Ostensibly money was
wanted for development and the build
ing of a larger mill. A miner would
naturally inquire why the several
thousand tons of *ls rock lying on the
dump was not run through the mill to
secure the needed funds for further
development and extension of plant.
To tin* experienced this prospectus was
plainly a tissue of deliberate lies -to
many of the uninitiated and unsophisti
cated it seemed a magnificent oppor
tunity to make large profit from mod
erate investment. It is almost useless
to speak of these frauds in technical
journals, as the people whom it i> in
tended to protect against such inquisi
tion seldom see that class of papers.
It is almost needless to say that this
alleged report was not being circu
lated in the region where the mine
was said to lu* located, but in a distant
state, where a smooth-voiced grafter
was successfully obtaining money on
the presentation of this palpable
fraud.
Had any man such a property as was
described in this circular, he need go
no farther than the nearest merchant
and prove that he possessed what he
claimed, and he would be provided
with all the necessary funds for turn
ing all this wealth into bullion bars.—
Mining and Scientific Press.
The principal gold deposits of the
world occur in connection with dia
base, diorite, granite, andesite, clay,
slate, and hornblende schist. The
gold deposits of trie Hand, in the
Transvaal, S. A., occur in conglomer
ate. Cold is found in other rocks, but
the above are the most noted. Copper
ores occur most abundant ly in granite,
greenstone and limestone, and lead
silver ores in limestone and quartzite.
Inquiries continue to be made re
garding the “miner’s inch.” Former
ly this term signified different quanti
ties of water in different mining dis
tricts, but California and Montana
have each passed legislation defining
a miner’s inch as a flow of 1$ cubic
foot of water per minute. Tins defini
tion of the miner’s inch has been gen
erally adopted.

Washington to create a fourth judicial

PROPOSES SETTER
! FIRE PROTECTION
I Fire which destroyed a frame shack
' beside the railroad track at the foot of
Washington street this afternoon sug
gested anew to citizens tin* need of an
'adequate organization and equipment
ho light lire in this town. II. A.
Ingalls, the well-known mining man,
-m.nil afterward sent to the (Saleway a
note proposing that a meeting lie held
tonight in the lire engine room on
Fourth avenue to di-cuss tire protec
tion. IIis letter reads as follows:
• There was a lire this afternoon
which consumed a building near the
railroad. I got a boy to help tlo* pull
the chemical there. No one o lie red to
help. ! would suggest that a meeting
beheld at the lire engine room to-j
night at b o'clock to discuss lire mu'-i
tors, or protection, as the chemical on-j
gine did not work properly when 1 did
get it to the lire."
Warty in t he fall tire protection was
taken up actively by the Chamber of
Commerce and as a result tin* chemical
engine was purchased, considerable
trash in the rear of buildings was
cleared up and then everybody rested,
apparently trusting the engine to pro
tect the town. Fire Marshal Mc
Neiley has btvn absent from the city
for sov rel weeks, but will return on
the Santa Clara.
Recently some of the merchants
made an arrangement with YV. A.
Sherman t*» act as night watchman,
with an especial view to looking out
for lire symptoms, lie is an old fire
man and suggested a day or two ago to
the Cateway that a committee ought
to look after dangerous fire risks, par
ticularly defective or foul lluc;.
•‘Most every man is willing tolix his flee
if his attention is called to it. but t! e
ordinary citizen never thinks of 1: e
risks until somebody tells him of it.
