onler It is said that the Sultan
has been dethroned, but no con- 1
flrmation of the rumor can be se
cured. The persistency with which
the rumor conies over the wlras

foundation of fact in the rumor.
PKOPLK A\I> BOATS
I<OST IN STORM
Valdet. Jan. 25- During the
past weeks storm several gas
boats wA"e torn from their moor
ings and have drifted to sea. Con
siderable alarm Is felt over the ab
sence of a number of people who
were out and have not returned,
and It Is feared that the record of
deaths along the coast will be con
siderable when the facts are known.

Our reader* wl'l doubtless have
noticed the newspaper reports of th?
conditions of the railroads In the
United States this winter. Not on
l> has the Copper River railway !u
Alaska been out of commission for
days at a time, but the conditions
are the same in Washington, Ore
icon and the middle states.
The only road that we have heard
of which has never missed a day's
service, is the White Pass, running
from Skagway to Whitehorse. Con
ditions here have been as trouble
some as elsewhere On the famous
old White Pass the thermometer
has gone down to more than fifty
below sero and stayed there with
but little variation for days. The
wind has blown a gale and piled the
? not snow ? but granulated Ice In
to the cuts and packed it there like
a stone wall. The snow plows have
had to go out dally and bore
through eight, ten and fifteen feet
of the congelated mass, which was
much like tearing through a moun
tain side. But the boys went and
they bored It through. No place
on earth ever had worse railroad
ing than lias the White Pass this
winter, but they never missed a
trip.
Now we figure from all this, that
the ablest bunch of railroad men
that the world has produced is on

this line. The credit 1? not alto
gether duo the officers; wheu It
comes to bucking froxen ice ten
feet thick. It requires brawn Judg
ment and courage, and fortunately
the White Pass officers have crews
of that caliber.

Th? Leading Ladiea Furniaher and Habardaaher of Skagway
peilenc? has l?uru?<l wh?u tc
s?eud out uta rotary aud *h?i not,
and It 1* largely due to his Judg
ment that things have gone along
as smoothly as they have.
Along this line of talk, we wish
to add the opinion of the Wblte
horse Star editor, who say#:
"Notwithstanding the fact that
the temperature has reached the
extremely low point of fifty dt^row
below lero several times within the
past few day*, mining has gone
merrily on with no decrease In the
dally output. For the 24 hours
previous to Tuesday night upward
of 250 tons of ore were mined and
loaded into cars at the mine and
taken to Skagway next day.
"Not only is the work of mining
and loading cars being carried on
regardless of weather, but the rail
road is handling the cars as fast as
they are loaded, hauling to Skag
way and dumping the ore into the
bunkers at that place. The latter
feat is not accomplished without
considerable preparation, but Supt.
Hahn has been equal to the emer
Scene In Snw Tooth Monntoins.
gency. All the ore cars are arrang
ed with a false bottom beneath
which plpea are laid and through
these hot air Is driven from a big
boiler located at the bunker*, the
hot air thawing the froten ore and
euabling It to be dumped from the
cars without trouble and with but
?ittle extra time. There was con
siderable speculation in the fall as
to whether the railroad could han
dle ore when the weather became
??xtrcroely cold, but It ha* been
demonstrated that ore can be hand
led In the most severe weather and
as surely as In mild seasons, though
not no comfortable to the trainmen
"No trouble Is now being ex
perienced In securing ore steamers
to carry the output of the mine to
the smelter, and the result Is that
the ore is being taken out of the
bunkers as It Is being put In.
"It is doubtful If, at any other
place on the American continent,
ore is being so extensively mined
and shipped by rail at such a low
decree of temperature as here."
