P. C. Collins, traveling passenger
agent for .the C. P. R., who has
iust returned from a trip to Daw
son, thinks that from the appearance
of the activity displayed about, the
mouth of the White, that there is
going to be a Li" rush into the Chis
ana this winter. In speaking of
the feeling that exists in Dawson,
as to the richness and permanency
of the strike, Air. Collins said that
treme must have beeu sufficient
work done on the creeks to fully
demonstrate the value of the ground,
or the work which has been done to
wards getting supplies into the coun
try would not be pushed with such
evident energy. When he passed
the mouth of the White on his trip
into Dawson which was on October
tith, there were ouly 16 tents and
one road house there at that time,
Ou the ISth of the month, there
were two road houses, two stores, 1
big warehouse completed arid 16S
tents, besides which there were
stacks of provisions and merchan
dise piled up all along the bank of
the Yukon for half a mile, and
covered with tarpaulins.
In addition to the large amount
of supplies and horse feed taken to
the White by the W. P. & Y. R.,
E. Shink, the prominent Dawson
merchant, has moved a considerable
portion of his stock up the river
with the inten'ton of taking it into
the new diggings, and for dfstributlo
at his stores which he is havng con
structed at various points along the
trail.
At the mouth of Coffee Creek
huge stacks of supplies are to be
seen on the banks covered only
with tarpaulins, awaiting the time
when it can !><» transported by sled
over the trail this winter. With
the exception of two places, there
is a road house every ten miles alon
the entire distance of the White
river trail into the new diggings.
"Dawson men believe that the
Chisana is going to be a big camp,
and are making preparations to go
in as soon as t'ie climatic conditions
will permit of the transportation of
supplies", said Mr. Collins in cou
ld uaion.

Captain Kerwin, Quartermaster at

transferred to San Francisco where
iie has been oointed Assistant to
Constructing Quartermaster Col.
Williamson. It is believed that Capb
Kerwin will 1« ave within a short
time for the South, taking with him
his wife and 'amlly. The loss of
Capt. and Mrs. Kerwin to the Gar
rison will be k ,enly felt, as they
were among th most popular youn-j
people at the post. While station
ed at Fort Seward, Captain and Mrs.
Kerwin have won a host of friends
!n Skagway and Haines, who will re
fret to see them leave the North.
Captain Kerwin states that per
sonally he regrets to leave Alaska,
as he has been very interested in
the country, aad likes it very much,
but the better educational facilities
which the change will afford his
children will compensate him for the
change. •
LKiHT WEIGHT CHAMPS
READY FOR TI ES. XIGHT
New York, Oct. 27—Willie Ritch
ie, light weight champion of the
world, and Loach Cross, the New
York dentist fighter, has put the
finishing touches on their training
for a ten round bout h^ra Tomorrow
night. . This means that the East
ern critics, as well as the fight
followers, are to be given a chance
to see Willie in what promises to bo
a real fight. Ritchie has been pan
ned more or less since his fight with
Freddie Welsh was called off at
Vancouver and the eastern bugs now
want to be shown.! It is up to Wil
lie to show whether lie is of real
championship calibre or is of the
"cheese" variety of which there are
large hunks to say nothing of gobbs,
now operating about Manhattan
Most any frosty morning during
the past three weeks you might
have spotted Ritchie hitting it up
along the roads through Central
IJark, putting himself in condition
for the Cross bout. Hp does not
hold Leach lightly, considering that
Cross has a kiockout over Bud An
derson to his credit. But he does
not expect to run into a great deal
of trouble handling Leach.
"If he will just fight and not bac
away and cover up I am sure to
knock him out", said Ritchie.
"Leach is strong for the covering up
game, but if he stands out and fights
I'll get him."
If Ritchie hangs one over on Cros
he may expect to have a reasonably
busy winter 'f he cares to stay in
the East. Th^re is Jack Brltton
and Johnny Lore to draw on for
fights. Ritchie declares he. is will
ing to meet Freddi Welsh at any
ttime. He may be accommodate
here if the going gets good. A wor
from Welsh and a half dozen fight
managers would be in a scramble to
sign up such a bout, providing Wil
lie shows something more than a.
pair of arms, legs and a title. The
title sounds pood, but New York
fight fans are beginning to demand
a little fight on the side. I

way that when the first detachment
of the fire fighting apparatus arriv

only seemed fo burn the fiercer.
While endavoriug to carry a line of
hose through an alley, the walls of

tons of wreckage. The attention of
the entire department was at once
turned to the rcscue of the men, and
it was only through the most heroic

"KILL 'EM" HE SAYS.
Editor Ketchikan Miner:—Mon
day's Miner 'contained an article
championing the gulls. I would ask
the writer if he understands the
habits of gulls and of what value
they or ravens are to humanity and
what detriment. ' Gulls during the
spring and summer live almost en
tirely on the herring and one gull
will consume as many herring dur
ing his life as un ordinary man and
during the fall and winter they are
on the salmon breeding grounds de
vouring the unhatched eggs by the
millions.
Koocl for the HJ'i-&u race Is be
coming scarce and costlier every year
and for self-preservation we should
adopt every means available to pre
serve our fish and game and I for
one had rather see dead gulls than
hungry people. I
