WILL THE BIG CHIEF1 GIVE
BRAVES FAIR PLAY.
The petition of the Native of Sit- !
to the department of the Interior!
for h modification i<f the rules gov
erning the killing of spats out at son '
from Sitka txposes another hardship
which the people of Alaska have to
boar owing to ignorance on the part
of those having control over the af
fair* of Alaska.
FV* nii'iv generations tho Natives
have Nvn accustomed to po out in '
the oceaa &N>ut thirty miles w<-*t'of
Sitka and kill the seals as they mi
*rated from tho south to the seal is
lands to the Westward in the
Spring, an 1 while the number killed
?-a? wry small in comparison with
the number killed by the combines
basing the islands, it has been a
source of revenue to the Natives and
helped to make them self-supporting.
It is well known tl>st the ^ov^rn
nwr.t paid millions of dollars in guard
:ac and patrolling the coast to keep
o?* American and Rritish so-called
poachers while the Japanese sealers
have hovered around. presumably ou*
skie the three mil,- limit, and killed
?housands of the M*als . no matter
what seasor. of the yoar
N'ow for the department to make
a rule prohibiting the use of guns
the Natives in killing seals is
nothing more or less than stepping
them altogether, for they might a*
w?U have made the rale ;hat the
seals must be taken by putting salt
nr. their ta.l< as to regme th. y nr.st

This edict coming a: it d<"es on
the heels of the termination of the
lease with the X. C Co . after they
had practically exterminate the sea:

is* "by your leave" and the Nathe
has said nothing
This sealing restriction? t is but
the forerunner of another restriction
which will take from them the ri^ht
to kill meat and take fl*h for the

Considerable building is predicted
for tho Indian village of Kluckwan
by the amount of lumber which was
purchased the past week by some of
the natives who came down for that
purpose.
The lumber will bo freighted out
on sleds and will be used to finish a
number of the houses there which
when completed will make beautiful
homes.
It is surprising to a visitor In
Kluckwan to see the number of fine

IMPROVEMENTS MADE
AT GRANDBY SMELTER
GRAND FORKS, April ;! ? Tile Uit . i *
od of disposing of the slag or waste
matter from the ore at the Gratuiby
smelter n 'his cl'y is being changed
the slag being once more run out in
a granulated condition.
During the f'rst three years' oper
ations at 'he plant tho system of
cranulatjon was adopted, but owing
i to the loose slag taking tip so much
room and running into the Kettle
river, was abandoned, and the s'az
j taken front the settlers at the furn
' ac<? in a molten condition. Since
that time i' has been allowed to run
! into huge i>ots, containing six tins
each, which were hauled by eiuir.es
to the dump and while still in moll.-n
| condition was dumped.
J Bv dumping the slag hot the Gran
by has secured a yard over a mile'
in length and varying in width fro::i
100 to .">00 feet, and as the haul fro
the works to the dump has become i
so long, and making this method so
expensive, the company last year do- 1
cided to asain adopt the granulati >n
| system, only using a much more lm-|
i proved method of handling the slasr.
It is officially stated that with the'
new system the Granl.y will have]
dumping room for the wasio matorial
from o.OOO 000 tons of ore. which ?
means that tho question of the dis- '
posal of the slae from their eiirht
furnaces will not require any at
tention on the part of the company J
for the next five years.
Tlie installation of the new system
cost the Granby in the neighborhood
of JS0.000, but will mean a larce sav
ing to the company in the cost of
treating thier low grade ores, dointr
away with, as it will, a miniature
railway system and a larce army of
employees now necessary to carry ;
on the work.
