Governorship Still Unsettled
Washington, l>. ('.. March 2 The
Alaska governorship light is not yet
j ended, (’apt. Jarvis has not yet com
municated with the President and it is
j uncertain, therefore, whether he means
I to accept the tender of the office.
Meanwhile other candidates are push
ing their claims in the hope that Jarvis
j will decline.
A few days ago a new candidate, not
publicly named yet and said to be a
man with an unfortunate court record,
called on the President and said that
! Hoggatt and Clutn deserved no con
sideration because both tried two years
ago to send an anti-Roosevelt dele
gation to the Republican national con
vention in Chicago.
John B. Heid telegraphed to the
President from Juneau yesterday that
he was still in the tace. It is not be
lieved here that Heid has any chanee.

the crime for which White is to
hang.
Another Try for Cable Extension
Washington, D. C., March 2 An

the provision for an extension of the
Alaska cable and telegraph lines at
tached to the sundry civil appropria
tion bill. This provision directs the
application of the receipts of the pres
ent lines to the construction of exten
sions and was striken from the army
appropriation bill on a point of order
as new legislation. ^

rushing to yentna
WITHOUT SUPPLIES
usual in all stampedes men are
going into the Yentna district with
scarcely enough grub to la>l them un
til they reach the gold fields. Men
arc leaving the railroad work all along
the line of construction every day and
starting on the tramp to the interior
without visible means of support.
Some of these men may have money
to buy outfits at Knik or Shushetna
station, but is is thought probable that
the unexpected rush to the inside will
soon deplete the stocks carried at those
points, if it has not done so already.
Many men going from Seward have
left here with smaller outfits than they
wish to take in. intending to add to
them at Knik or Shushetha and there
by save dragging big loads over the
long rough trail around the Arms.
It is believed however, by railroad
officials'acquainted with the men who
have gone in from the railroad work
that some of them started without
either money or outfits sufficient to
carry them through to the gold creeks.
These are men wholly without exper
ience in placer mining or knowledge
of the country. H. A. McClure, super
intendent of construction, said this
week:
“Men are dropping ofl' to go inside
right along and I am certain that some
of them started out as good as broke.
Some will probably get discouraged be
fore they get very far and come back,
but a lot of fellows will just about find
their way through and get there strand
ed for somebody else to feed.”
The experienced miners who have
gone into the district have been afraid
of this all the time and have done all
they could to warn tenderfeet without
supplies to keep away.
Mr. McClure, who is at the front
nearly all the time and sees nearly
everybody who goes through, estimates
the total number of men headed for the
Yentna since the middle of January,
when the movement began, at 300, and
the most conservative estimate made
by anybody in a position to know is250.
A large majority of these were well
outfitted.
