point of view.
Primitive laws always make large
wrongs easilv possible and difficult of
correction, t'mler them, gigantic enter
prises are more easily and cheaply put
through than under modern legal regu
lation. Alaska’s laws are primitive, to
say the least.—Miners’ ltecord.
FRENCH LOUIE’S PET LYNX
GOT UGLY AND HE KILLED IT
The great pet lynx kept by French
Louie at his homestead at Hot springs
is dead. Ill feeling sprang up between
Louie and the lynx and tin- matter ended
by a blow which put the cat out of husi
ness altogether.
Louie had had the lynx since it was a
kitten. At first there were two, but
dogs killed one while it was yet small.
The other waxed strong and it and
Louie lived amicably up to almost the
time of its death.
The lynx was always turned out of
doors at night. In the morning it would
scratch on tlm door and Louie would let
it in and give it breakfast—first a cup
of milk and then any places of meat
that were handy. One morning a piece
of rabbit was proffered instead of the
milk, and the animal g"t ugly and

which have heen made against Judge
James Wiekersham.
Ray River Hot Springs.
Or. lludgin came in Saturday after
noon, aufter a sojourn of several weeks
at Ray River Hot Springs. The news he
brings may be summed up as follows:
The warm weather of February started
the grass to growing within the zone
kept free from snow by the influence of
the springs; but ensuing cold weather
administered a check.
Grayling were being caught in the
open water below the springs.
Timothy 1’itka had killed two moose.
Mr. and Mrs. Horace W. Boucher and
Walter Sandburg, of Rampart, had ar
rived safely at the springs. They made
camp the first night on the gravel bar
where it was so warm they had to raise
the walls of the tent and open the door
in order to lie comfortable.
Colors of gold are found in the gravel
right at the springs. Black sand abounds.
A belt strewn with quartz crosses the
river between the canyon and the
springs. Clement Anderson is prospect
ing above the canyon.
Horses Wearing Snowshoes.
Mike Kngels was around yesterday
initiating hi* ponies in theequine branch
of the Arctic Brotherhood. Having
demonstrated their fitness to overcome
the obstructing heaps of snow, Mike
conducted them to thestahle, “cleansed”
them with a pitchfork and introduced
them to the royal manger, where they
were invited to till up on spruce bark
and cracked ict*.
The ponies were wearing snowshoetl
for the tirst time. The shoes were put
on in order that the horses may break
trail for the hauling of the Balloii-Mann
hydraulic material.
