SEVEN" SKAGWAY CITIZEN'S
DEBARRED FROM llOOZE
Upon an information filed yes
terday by Deputy U. S. Marshal
Fred Fonzo with Commissioner Con

until further notice, refrain from

AGAIN IX SKAGW'AV AFTER
MANY YEAH8 ABSENCE
Mrs. j. B. Selffert and two chil
dren are passengers on board the
Alameda bound for Knik Anchorage
and from there to Hope, Alaska,
where Mr. Selffert is m gaged in ex
lensive mining operations. While
here Mrs. Selffert and her children
were guests of Mr. Pud Mrs. E. J.
Shaw, old friends with whom she
was acquainted in 1898.
in 1S98, Mrs. Ssiffert, who was
then Miss Johanna Brown, lived lu
Skagway with her mother, who had
'luite a reputation hb a singer at
social r.nd church featherings. She
was employed at that time iu the
1 ostoffice news stand and will
doubtless bo well lemcmbered by I
those of our townspeople who liv
id hert at that time. A cousin,
('has. LaFarge, was at one time
purser on the steau^sLii City of
Seattle.
After leaving here Miss Brown
changed h^r name to that of Seif
fert, her husband being one of the
best known miners in the territory.
His operations have mostly been
confined to the Nome country, but
we understand he has recently ex
tended them to the westward in
the Hope f'istrict.

RAILWAY SURVEy
Goo. W. Mitchell, of London,
England, who in 1898 was Instru
mental in inducing Clf.se Bros, to
finance the construction and equip
ment of the W. P. & Y. R. rail
road, and who for the past year
has been advocating and promoting
a scheme for the building of a
railway line from tidewater up the
south hank of Taku river, over a
low divide in the cozst. range to
Atlin, B. C., arrived in town last
uight from the interior in company
with Mr. Pierre Duryee of
Vancouver, B. C., and tbey are stop
ping at the Pullen House, where
they will remain untli the sailing
of the next boat for Juneau.
A representative of the Daily Al
askan had a short interiew with
Mr. Mitchell this morniug, in which
that gentleman furnished the fol
lowing Interesting information in
regard to the route to be traversed
by the Taku-Atlin railway, and the
work that has already been done.
Said he:
"The survey for our line of rail
way has been completed from tide
water on the south to the interna
tional boundary on tho north and
the work is now progressing from
tho oth^r end, viz., from Atlin soutli
to the boundary.
"The line will start at the mouth
of the Taku river, follow up the
south side of that stream, and
crossing the coast range at an el
evation of not to exceed 800 t'eet,
follow down the Silver Salmon river
.ind Tike creek to the m'outh 'of tho
latter on Atlin lake, a total distance
of not to exceed about 100 miles.
"Outa'de of the lejv divide to be
crossed on the Nakina river the
grade is practically level all the
way through.
"Terminal lai-iiiwi-s nave
been secured at each end of tlie
I roposed road and franchises and.
rights of way have fiiso been ob
tained.
"This railway will develop an ex
tensive agricultural district just
north of the boundary in the valleys
of the Nakina, the IuUiin and the
Silver Salmon, beside* opening up
one of the largest low. grade free
milling ?old quartz districts in Nort
America.
"Dr. Calrnes, held ot the Can
adian Geological Survey, has mad-?
an exhaustive study of the mineral
resources of the Atlin district and
in his opinion th3re are vast
bodies of low grade quartz there
that will run up to iis high as $10
per ton.

NOT MUCH OF A FISHERMAN
BUT HE'S A GOOD SWIMMER
General Agent P. B. Wurabacher
and Mr. SternB of the auditing d«
par'ment of the W. P. & Y. R. com
pany went over to Log Cabin yes
terday on a fishing trip and were
fairly successful from & fishing
standpoint, although cue of tbem
(wo won't say which) came back la
rather a disheveled condition ag to
raiment,
A short time after getting to the
fishing grounds the general agent,
(you observe that we dcn't mention
name) cast his line, to which was
attached two leaders, and lo «tm1 bo
hold, one was Bwallowed by a
trout and the other by A greyling.
The fish were not extra large, la
fact it would have t£kea both of
them to weigh a oaund, but la tie
excitement incident to the catch,
Ihe fisherman lost hla collar, on«
of his shoes and, woiat of all, one
of the fish, which, fortunately
proved to be the greyliag and not
the trout.
Besides, he fell irto th« creek,
M had it not been for the aari*
tance of his companion would
been unable to get out.
We didn't see any cf them, but
it is said that they brought homo
some f'sh.
pared with the much lower ones in
the properties near Juneau it *U1
appear that a short railway, with
low freight rates, Is all that in
needed to develop that immense ex
tent of territory lying north, and
east of the boundary and extend
ing from the eastern shore of At
lin lake clear across to Telegraph
creek and Bease lake.
"It is not the intention of tha
Taku-Atlin railway management to
reach out for any Yukon traffic and.
so far from becoming a competitor
of the W. P. & Y. R. company K
will on the contrary only serve to
increase; the tourist traffic, as there
should be considerable travel by
excursionists going In via Taku and
coming out via Skagway."
The Humboldt is due to arrive la
Skagway some time tomorrow.
