Norway Wrestling With
Government Question
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.]
London, Oct. 5? Norway is now
wrestling with the problem as to what
form of government it will adopt. The
question did not enter into the negotia
tions between Norway and Sweden
which resulted in the complete separa
tion of the two countries, and it is
learned that Norway will attempt to
secure the recognition of its indcpend- '
ence and of its representatives by for
eign countries without respect to what
form of government it will finally adopt.
The latter question might go over until
the elections of 1906.
MfETS DEATH
John Wolters. Atlin Miner,
Is Killed
John Wolter9, an Atlin miner oper- !
ating on Pine creek, near Discovery, |
was accidently killed last week on his
claim. George Martin, his partner, was
also injured.
The two men were working on the
south bank of Pine just above Discov
ery and were placing sluice boxes in
position in t>n open cut when part of
onecf the walls fell and threw them
with great force against the opposite
wall. Martin, who remained in an up
right position, escaped with a few
bruises and scratches, but Wolters was
caught under a heavier portion of the
falling earth and completely covered.
Martin hastily extricated himself and,
obtaining assistance, the entombed
man was soon recovered, but life was
extinct.

The end of Yukon navigation for the
year of our Lord, 1906, is in s'ght. The
last steamer scheduled to sail from
White horse ior Dawson will leave the
latter place next Monday. It will be
the Whitehorse.
All the steamers that are now leaving
Whitehorse are on their last trip
Each of the W. P. & Y. R. steamers
will return to Whitehorse and be drag
ged nit on the ways.
The close of navigation will find the
W. P. & Y. R. with a clean slate
Freight for river points has about
ceased to come and there are less than
400 tons of it now here and at White
horse awaiting shipment for Dawson.
All that will be cleaned up with ease.
It is barely possible that enother boat
migh' ba sent out for Dawson after
the departure of the Whitehorse next
Monday but if so it will mean the
change of present plans and because

shall have transpired to cause it.
