OREGON RECEIVES HERD
OF ELK FROM WYOMING. I
ST. ANTHONY, Ida.. March 12?
One of the most difficult experiments
in handling largo game animals is
now being attempted by transplant
ing a herd of 15 Elk from Jackson's '
Hole, Wyo , to the Wallowa forest '
reserve, In Eastern Oregon, under'
the supervision of D. C. Nowlin, cf
the Biological Survey. Twenty-five '
of these splendkl animals were et.-j
tlced into corrals and are now bein*|
sledded 90 miles over the Teton Pass j
to St. Anthony, which is the nearest
point on the railroad, where they are
turned over to the state of Oregon.
The whole herd came near being
lost on account df a driving snow
storm in the roughest part of the
mountains. After four days the out.
fit of five teams had made but 28
miles, and In one accident three of
the elk were lost. State Gam<? War
den Finlev. with Deputes Cra'g and
Averill. has gone out into the moun
tains to meet the shipment, which is
expected to reach this point late
this afternoon. Five elk are now be
ing held by the government here, and
when the 22 others arrive the Ore
gon officials will have the selection
of the best and strongest anima's.

Judge Cushman has issued a sUiy

hYbruary 24 at Unajaska, has been
postponed. The vessel was seized for
illegal fishing and the case was origin*
ally tried before the commissioner at
L'nalaska. He fined the vessel $*>00
and assessed a like fine against each
member of the crew. The owners
took an appeal to the district court,
which upheld the commissioner, and
later to the appellate court, which
found the fine assessed against each
member of the crew should have
been laid acainst the crew as a
whole, but otherwise held as the
lower court. The owners have now
carried the case to the supreme court
of the United States, on what ground
are not known here, but it is pre

PORT YUKON ? At last the millen
ium has struck our little burg, we
have a justice of the peace who fits
and is fit, perhaps on the principle
of nihil fits.
Our justice of the peace, acting
on Instructions from the office of
the district attorney for the fourth
division of Alaska, has issued a no
tice to all the storekeepers in town
forbidding them under heavy penal
ties from selling pam killer, jamaica
ginger or lemon extract to a native,
but nothing is said about instructions
to prevent the smuggling of goods
from an alien territory and disposing
of them in this place, to the detri
ment of legitimate trade. Why?
Smuggling has been a crime against
the law ages before the wiseacres
found out that it was a crime to
sell a bottle of Perry Davis' pain
killer to a native, ami whether the
smuggler be a white, a half breed,
or a full blooded native, the crime
and penalty remains the same. Again
we ask. Why? DIOGENES.
Because no one thought about the
driftwood along the shore, the coal
famine in Nome caused greater alarm
than would otherwise have been the
ease, says District Attorney Rodey,
of Nome, who is a passeneer on the
Northwestern for the states.
After 150 tons of coal at Ft Davis

WILL WORK DEEP PLACERS
(Continued from PAgo 1.)
capable of lifting fourteen cul/lc yard
of gravel per hour. Ia addition to
this the engine is also used to run a
small saw mill which has been set
up and is used to cut timbers for
the shaft and underground workings.
Mr. McKee is taking in with him
another nine hundred gallon per min
ute pump which will be used as an
auxiliary.
The entire season last year was
spent in freighting in and setting up
this plant. Work this year will
progress immediately on the shaft
which has been started and bed
rock, which is estimated to be at a
depth of thirty-five feet, will be
reached as soon as possible. Cpon
reaching bed rock a series of drifts
will be run crossing the channel of
the stream and the pay streak will
be thoroughly prospected.
All gravel which has been taken
from the shaft by the gravel pump
that sucks gravel u|> to five inches
in diameter is run through skike
boxes thirty five feet of which are
in the shaft house. Gold has been
found with increasing value at
every foot of depth gained. At the
present depth of twenty-seven feet
it is estimated that value is twenty
seven cents to the yard. Th:s indi
cation combined with the recovery
during las* season of $4000 from a
bench on the rimrock from which
point the bed rock slopes rapidly
away Into the channel of the stream
gives Mr. McKee great confidence
that he will find gold in large quan
tities once bed rock is reached.
The presence of gold in paying
quantities being established, dredges
will be placed on the stream and the
work of gathering the yellow dust
