un Huby creek, and Mr. J. McCJus
key 01 Spruce creek, were among tti*
aurnber. . ;
A nugget weighing 44 ounces was
recovered on the McCluskey ground
on Spruce creek a short time ago.
Huby creek lias shown up splen
didly tlis year, and there is every In
dication of a still more successful
season next year. A large num
ber of steel plates for sluice boxes
are now here, aiid will bo installed
in time for next season's operations.
McKee creek has had its final
cleanup for the season, but some
men are still employed taking off
top dirt iu preparation for next
year. In spite of a limited water
supply for part of the time, this
year's operations have been highly
satisfactory.
i lie North Columbia uoid .Mining
Co. will continue operations at Dis
covery until it is impossible to work
any longer, possibly for another
mouth. .Mr. J. M. Ruffner, manager
has just returned from O'Donnell
i -r. where the company lias exten
sive holdings, and where it is con
lidenlly cxpected that big money
will be taken out next year. This
season has been fully occupied in
installing a hydraulic lirt, building
flumes and doing other necessary
work in preparation for next year.
.Mr. Rufi'ncr expects to have a small
cleanup before the ground freezes
this fall.

As evidence of the wonderful
productiveness of Skagway vallov
soil, there is 011 display in C. \\.

w y a monster cabbage, grown in
t lie garden of Mr. Roy Gault of this
city. It's weight is 2S1 - pounds. To
those familiar with the fertility of
our soil when properly cultivated,
the size of the cabbage on exhibi
tion is not surprising, for the peo
ple here are well aware of the pos
sibilities of our soil in the growth
of vegt.aides. Tho agricultural and
•u :ti-ultural fairs that have been
eld here th» past two falls, have
.one much toward the enlighten
i.ient, and the fair committee with a
judkious and liberal system of med
als nd awards has added stimulas
f.: :.dly rivalry that has long

and truckgrowers to produce the
best.

INSANE PRISONER
DIES OX BOAT
Moua Russell, an insane prisoner
from Fairbanks, on the way out
side in charge of Marshal Irvin for
incarceration in an asylum, died on
the steamer Canadian, between Sel
kirk and Wliitehorse. i Friends of
the deceased took charge of the re
mains and will see that they reach
her old home in . Portland, Oregon,
lor burial. t
To the newcomer in Alaska the
above announcement will cause but
slight interest, but to the old tim
er it brings to mind the beautiful,
bright-eyed sixteen year old girl, who
fifteen years ago, made her debut in
a Skagway dance hall.
At that time Mona Russell was an
Innocent girl, and for a long time
after entering upon the life she had
chosen, she resisted all the tempta
tions that beset her and instinctive
ly avoided the many pitfalls spread
for her unwary feet.
But there can be but ono ending
to such a struggle, and the time
came when Mona Russel, who early
left Skagway for the interior, became
:is common and besotted as the most
j depraved of her sex. In her calling
as a dance hall girl it was only a
3hort time until she became addict
ed to strong drink, and from that
time on her descent was sure and
rapid, and the beginning of the end
was reached when she was brought
before a court of lunacy at Fairban ^
recently and adjudged insane.
PRINTING DONE AT HOME
I Juneau Dispatch: Thousands of
dollars annually are sent out of Al
aska in payment for printing which
ought to be done at dome. While tha
amount now sent out of the Terri
tory in this way is undoubtedly not
as large as it was a few years ago,
thanks to the home industry agita
tion, it is still many times greater
than it should be.
A conservative estimate is that
there are at least fifty traveling
salesmen who make this Territory
selling printing. Much of the work
they do is special form, of which
they make a specialty, and which,
they represent to the purchaser
can't ba done at home. In realty
there is not a bit of this printing
that cannot be purchased of the
home printer.or the home stationer.
Labor is the big item in printing
it is always . five or 6ix times the
cost of paper, ink, machinery, etc.
Consequently, when a merchant buys
his printing at home, most of the
money he spends is kept where he
gets a chance to get it back. But
when he buys printing away from
home the money goes where some
other merchant receives it in pay
ment of the necessities of life. If
the price of the local man is a lit
tle higher, it.is a wise merchant
who pays the difference and keeps
the money at home in preference to
sending it away. .
The profit of the printing game is
not so much in the newspaper as in
the job department. The greater
the business in the latter the better
the paper is bound to be. Th«
newspaper spends more i-me and
money boosting the business of the
local merchants, the local boozehall,
the local banker, than any other in
stitution, and it would seem that in
order to give fair treatment to the
printer, the local business man
should have his printing done at
home. I
