conscious in the bottom of the boat,

Gen. Nuble Pnnctnres Rough I
Kider Glory
Brig.-Gen. Charles H. Noble, re
cently retired as colonel of the Tenth j
' infantry, has punctured somes boles in j
the military glory people have wont to j
attach to the name of our president.
Id au interview at Seattle the other |
day, just after bis arrival from Alaska, j
speaking the battle of San Juan id'
which the Tenth infantry participated, j
Gen. Noble, who was theo senior major |
of the Tenth, said:
"Roosevelt did not lead that charge ;
any more than yfcu did speaking to the j
reporter). There have been a lot of
foolish things written about that
charge, but it was the Tenth which
captured the real San Juan. We did
not see anything of Roost, velt. He was
at a little hill two miles away. Kettle
Hill they call it. 1 was senior officer
of the Tenth at the time and we did
not see auy thing of Roosevelt."
The General would not say specitica
ally how the public had received the
other impression, but ascribed it to
political pull. He did not know
whether Colonel Roosevelt's command
were engaged or not and refused to say
any more about what he knew of the
battle.
"I am still liable to be called on the I
carpet for all my retirement," was all j
he said.

Daily Alaskan's Figures Will Be Passed? In
Measuring 1906's Crop $20. 000, 000
Mark Will Be Left Behind
The Seattle assay office ami the re
ports from Washington are justifying
the estimates placed on t.he output of
Alaskan gold for the present year made
by the Daily Alaskan sometime ago
when it said it will exceed $20,000,000.
Up to the first of November the Seat
tie assay office had received 88,200,000 j
in gold from Fairbanks and $(>,200,000
from Nome. It is admitted that notj
nearly all the Alaskan gold goes to Se- 1
attle. P. G. Charles, the superintend-!
ent of the Alaska Pacific Express Com - J
pany, estimated Ootober 27 th that at j
that time there were $500,000 in gold of
this year's output that had not been
shipped during the year in Fairbanks.
He estimates the Tananu output at
$9,250,000.
Walter Clark, the newspaper maD,
writing from Washington under recent
date, has placed the gold output from j
the Tanana district at $9,000,000. This
is based on figures, accepted at Wash- 1
ington. received since the close of the j
season. It corresponds with the esti- ;
, male made by Delegate Cale late in
September and with the figures accep
ted by the Daily Alaskan.
Referring to the Nome output Walter
Clark writes:
, "A letter from Mr. Gartfeld, the dep
' uty collector of cusnras at Nome, gives
actual shipments officially manifested
: from that district during the present
year up to October 28, as 87,255,635.
The bank of Nome, Mr. Garfield says,
estimates the shipments which would
take place between October 27 and No
vember 1 at J34.000. Tfcis would make
the total for the season up to November
1, $7,289,635. ' '
The Daily Alaskan accepted an esti
mate of 46,500,000 for Home.
Add to these sums 83,000,000 for
Sjutheastern Alaska? Gov. Hoggatt
placed it at *4, 500, 000, -$400, 000 for
llampart, a like sum for Eagle, $250
000 for Circle, nearly that much for
the Koyukuk, the outputsof the country
out to the Westward, including the var
ious beach diggings, the Nazina, the
Chestochina, the YeQtoa, Cook inlet
and other places, and the total will ex
ceed $20,000,000 without a doubt.
ONE PLAN
Fishing Compauy Plans Alas- j
kau Line
The Farragut Bay Fishing Company,
with its fishing station and plant at
Farragut Bay, and its head offices at
Tacoma, is planning putting'
a little steamship on the
Southeastern Alaskan line. It is ad
vertising stock for sale and appealing
to the business men of Tacoma and
Alaska to come to the support of the
company with subscriptions.
Its plans are not as ambitious, how
ever, as its advertising would lead one
to suppose. The company has an option
on the steamer Areata, which is lying
at anchor down inCaliforniaoutof com
mission. The Areata is a little steamer
of 5G0 tons with passenger Accommoda
tions for 105 persons. 1 1 is proposed to
buy her and revolutionize Alaskan
trade by operating her from Tacoma,
cutting out Seattle.
The company lacks $.*0,000 of having
a sufficient sum to put its plans in opera
tion, It asks Tacoma to put this up
and take capital stock for it.
