SILPHl'K IX ALASKA
The known sulphur deposits of
Alaska are of volcanic origin and
in the belt of active volcanoes that
extend through the Aleutian Is
lands and Alaska Peninsula. The
<ie<poits on Unalaska. and Akun is
lands and near SteDOvak bay, on
Alaska Peninsula, were examined in
the summer of 1917 by A. G. Mad
dern of the United States Geological
Survey, Department of the Interior.
The examinations snowed that tho'
there is some sulphur at each place
examined there Is little hop0 that
any of't can be orofitabljr mined at
present or in the near future, for
the deposits are of small areal ex
tent »nd are probably snallow; sup
plies and labor are not at hand,
the open season is short, the diffi
culties o£ transporting the material
from the mines to ships would be
great and the haul to the larger
markets would be long. A brief
summary of the more important re
sults of the investigation of these
deposits has been published and
will be sent on application to the
Director of the Geological Survey
at Washington, D. C.

GUARD IS QUESTION
The standing of tho Home Guards
In their relation to the Councljl of
Defense and the governor of the
Territory, and their right to select
officers, were discussed by the
Guards last night .after they had
returned from paying their respects
by marching, jointly with the Elks,
to the city dock where several of
the enlisted men ^ere embarking
for Port Seward.
Governor Riggs f'rst read a com
munication from the military com
mittee of the Alaska Terrtorial
Council of Defense, in which tney
recommended the resignation of the
present acting captain and acting
lieutenant pf the Home Guards. It
seemed to be the unanimous opinion
of the committee, compose^ of Jas.
A. Smiser, John Reck, S. Hellenthal
and Claud Ericksou, that their ap
pointment of officers had only been
a temporary appointment in order
j perfect an organization that later
should be governed by suchh regula
tions as the laws permitted, or the
Home Guards decided to adopt, in
the aDsence of rules and regulations
governing them. The matter was
finally leftt standing for further coi*
sideration.
It was the Governor's opinion as
expressed last night, that no organ
ization could exist of a military
nature not directly under the com
mand of the Governor of the Ter
ritory or under federal control.
The general opinion seemed to b*
that as a voluntary organization
without arms, they stiould have the
privilege of selecting their own lead
ers. Incidentally Governor Riggs
stated that the bills of lading had
been received advi3ingg him that
700 new rifles and ammunition had
>oen shipped. These guns are some
i that had been manufactured for the
I Russians but not delivered to them.

THE YUKON
Dawson, July 20. — A singular
movement of ducks is reported a"
long the Yukon river. Night before
last Nels MacDonalU, the White
Pass night watchman, and the police
oa the night patrol noticed a great |
processloa of ducks coming down tlief
Klondike river, and flying toward
Sunnydale. They were so numerous
and oontinued to come in great num
berg lor two or three hours, and
looked , Nels says, like a cloud
of black. Arrivals by steamer re
port the Yukon river alive with,
great flocks of duckg between Daw
son and Whitehorse. It la believed
some great forest fires or other
exceptional conditions of nature tQ
the north of Dawson, has caused this
eaily and unusual movement of
wild fowl. As a rule the ducks do
not fly in any numbers until late
in the fall after the heavy frosts
and. after the youn* are Well ma
tured.
Bert Lamb, who arrived from
the McQuesten »nd the upper Stew
art thia week, reports that the
young ducks were barely able to
paddle along the streams, and in
no condition for flying with their
parents.
Chief Isaac reports that a forest
fire ,crot a big start on the hillside
this Bide of Mooseolde creek a few
days ago, and that he called out
his men at the Tillage and formed
| a bucket brigade, and, after a
[ desperate fight of several hours, sue
ceeded in stopping the flames. The
chief fought with the others, and at
one time was nearly suffocated by
the smoke. He saya the fire was
started by an aged Peel River In
dian, supposed to he over 100 years
old, who arrived recently, and who
Mult a fire in the brush for some un"
known, cause, possibly not realizing
the danger it would be. The chief
feared the fire might sweep south
to Dawson.
