Ira van Orsdale, one of Che or

camp, whet recently arrfved1 in Se

covery on, one of thb cre«to in that
d:a'ijct which) is enough to! cause
anyone acquainted with Alaska min
ing to believe that the chances are
eood 'or one more grgat' placer
c»mp in the territory. He was
'a the Tolstoi district a month ago
and a* that time got his informa
t'ou direct about the nbw discov
ery. The jvay was found on Madison,
creek which is about seven or eight
miles from Booty crelek and the re
markable fact about the discovery
is tha* tbe Day was fo.uiid in the
second tier beaches and is located
in a maimer that phows the possi
bility that it is of great extent. On
election day Mr. Orsdale was on
ti.Q spot and Wilson th/e discovener
panned some o>f the dirt for him

Boor? creek 'a the Qrlginal crelek
of the district -where Mr. 'van Ors
dale and the othere made life dis
covery. It ba$ five claims anld a
fraction now which, pay has been
developed. The difficulty oil pros
pecting thiQ country is illustrated
by the name of the creek, the dis
covers bavins: give® it that* name
because apparently no om^ but a
boob would ever think it'could oon
t"?D pay at all. The creeks in
there iuii through,1 low mud divides
*fcat are almost glaciers and run
throueh flaits. These facts will
show any old timer that the dis
covery now of pay oa the second
tier beohes promises extraordin
ary developments. Van Orsdale
also savs that numerous creeks in
tfc.- district have prospects that
coiild ^e made to pay if any means
o£ transportation were available.
Ope of 'he paying creeks in there
now wag cross-cut some years ago
but wag abandonfd^ Tbe disoov

only a thorough prospecting can be
depended on to locate the paystreak
CAl'X. HARTIGAN WOULD
GLADLY RETURN TO NORTH,
Captain Hartigan of the' 14th
Regiment, U. S. Infantry, arrived
in Skagway yesterday on the Har
bor Boat Peterson, and sailed for
Vancouver on tha Princess Sophia,
onroute to the Mexican border,
where he will for the time bteing
be stationed.
In leaving the north Captajn
Hartigan expressed a great regret, ]
stating that hq considered Fort W.:
H. Seward, Haines, one of the most
beautiful and sightly military posts
in the United States, and that he
had become infatuated with the
entire northern country. * He said
that he would welcome the time
that, would again see him back in
the north, and hoped that his regi
ment might again be stationed here.
Mrs. Hartigan accompanied Mr.
Hartigan to Skagway, but returns
to the garrison, where she will re
maiu a short time before' sailing
south to rejoin her husband.
Indians' Timo Table.
Certain of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar of their an
cestors, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The Indian method was to compute
time by sleeps and moons. A sleep
is twenty-four hours, and a moon is a
month. There is also a inidiuoon,
where the suu is at 12 o'clock meridian.
This hour is indicated by pointing
overhead.
When an Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky hu meant 9 o'clock; when
he pointed quarter way down he meant
3 o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there wasf a moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Where an Indian added the
distance to a certain place or how far
he had come he would say so many
sleeps or days' travel. A sleep, as de
scribing distance, was about thirty-flve
miles when walking deliberately or
from fifty to seventy-five miles If go

committee of tlie town council to
be now well under control. The
public school has f^gain been open
ed and as thSere has be^ni no cases
r*uor*ed from white families, it is
believed that tb(e quarantine es
tablished by the town authorities,
which has been rigidly enforced was
larcely instrumental in, stamping
out tho disease.
