With yesterday's edition of 'he
l^ily Alaskan, we turned into the
fifteer.th year of our duties as a
moulder of "public opinion" and ?'?'

And now. as we turn into om fif
teenth year, prospects for this por
tloc. of Alaska never had a more
msr glow vt dawning day. We havoj
told of the opening of the eopper j
properties of this vicinity, and ofi
the many "outfits" soiag in for the]
summer work on the creeks, and
this all means much to Skagway. the

p aY OF SUNSHINE.
The year of .lubilee ha*, come.
TelegT*m? and letters received here
within the past week from Wilber P.
Greenough of Spokane, hare dispelled
the lark cloud that for some time
past has hovered like a funeral pall
over WWtehorse and vicinity and on
the hor1?on can be seen the advance
nrrs of the sun of prosperity
The news from Mr. Greenough is
to the effect that he will leave Van
couver on the COth of the present
month with a force of forty quartz
miners ft* this place for the purpose'
of inaugurating active operations on
a number of the best known mineral
propositions in the Whitehorse cop
per beK. fourteen of th?*so properties
bavii^ been bonded, it is said, by a
| now company promoted by Mr. Green
j ough with the co-operation of Robert
I Lowe of '.his place and President
I Dickeson of the White Pa?? Hallway
company. ' Mr. I>owe has been at
1 work In bis efforts to float the
scheme all winter ami has succeeded
admirably.
Mr. Greenougta is well and favor
ably known here as a mining man.
He worked the Pueblo two ' y?vrs
ago and it can be said for him that
he is one of the very few quartz
men to operate in this country sys
tematically and .methodically. The pe'
pie of Whitehorse would prefer see
ins Mr. Greenotigh return to engage
in work here than any man who has
ever been here in the same line.
It is also apparent that President
Dickcson v>f the railroad has been
largely instrumental in bringing about
the satisfactory arrangements said to
exist. He has done what his pre
decessors should have done and woul
have done ten years ago had they
boon transportation men and able to
I penetrate the future by us much as
I e\en a few months We believe
President Dickeson has properly sen
sed the situation, that he realizes
that the future life of his road de
pends more largely on the develop
; ment and operation of the rich
qv.artz deposits of Southern ^ ukon
I than anything else, and we als*> be
lieve he will do all in his poweT to
bring about such development and op
eration If he does, all honor and
all hail to him. Long may he wave.
Thai the present and stead- ly in
| ereasi:ig price of copper is the great
ontive to promised activity in min
!:::i circles 'here can be no doubt.
The price of copper has been stead
ily advancing for the past 3 months
and has now passed the fifteen and
a half cent mark, and it is believed
it will go ? vpn higher. Therefore.
I there is no doubt but that shipping
will begin in the very rear future
in order that the existing good price
for the product may be obtained.
If forty miners aire coming from
Vancouver, it means that all the
quartz miners to be hired here will
j also be given employment. It also
j means that for every experienced
miner employed in opening the var
ious properties, one or more "muck
ers" will be needed and the result
will be that over one hundred men
will l?e at work in this locality with
in the next thirty days. Then will
the stars of the morning sing to
gether. all Nature will turn double,
hack -act ion handsprings in glee, and
all obroad will be heralded the glad
tidings "Southern Yukon has at last
come into her own " ? Whitehorse

HARNESSING A SHARK.
Cruel Revenge That Has the Sanction
of Immemorial Custom.
The shark s jaws arc pried open to
the fullest extent. A stout eight foot
spar of tough timber, A by 4 inches hi
cross measurement, is fixed trans
? Tersely far back in the augle of the
Jaw, the ends projecting on either side.
A strong rope leading from the ends of
the spar Is drawn close and tightened
with a clove hitch round the Qsh's tail
behind the wide tall flukes. It Is thus
tho sailor harnesses his enemy.
The clauip of the cruel jaws drives
the two inch long teeth deep into the
tough spar. The tight line holds it in
place, and, struggle as he may, the
shark fails to move the spar an inch
from Its position. As n finishing toii'h
the sailor drew his knife blade across
the shark's eyeballs and let him go.
Bitted ami bridled, blinded, with
Jaws wide gaplug, he swam through a
limitless sea in never ending fatuous
circles. The queer furnishings he bote
scared away others of his kind. Lone
ly and silent, he passed like fain
among the fishes till starvation and
sheer misery ended his existence.
Cruel? Of course it was Rut sure
ly, like the venomous snake, the shark
has long put himself beyond the | :ile
of human mercy. Soft hearted as ho
usually is. I lie sailor man has a long
memory. The shark lias followed for
weeks in the shadow of his ship and
has watched each man of the crew
with greedy, malevolent eye. There is
s heavy debt against all the sliirk
tribe for many a lost mariner, and
1 when the chance comes to settle old
j scores the sailor pays It to the full.
; Resides, the thiug has the sanction of
immemorial custom. It was some o.d
Phoenician, trading out of Tyre to tin
far Cassltorldes, who probably i i -t
put the trick In practice.? Wide World
