ble to complete the buildings earlier

concerned.

WILLIAM LESLIE
William Leslie came up from Ilaities
last evening by the 1 1 egg. Mr. Los'ie
has t>con engaged for sotno time in try
ing to drive certain piles that havo
badly needed to be driven under the
wharf at that place, but the wind, sho
blows down there, and as fast at the
piles aro placed tho wind displaces
them. Lust week, he says, he got in
as much as a day and a half hard labor,
but pshaw!? the wind undid it in lmlf
the time. But Dill is hard to dis
courage and he never does give up. I3e
came up here to get the plans for the
bridge at Wells on the Chilcat and this
morning he started with Doc Watson to
go tho scene, for he is to put in a bid
for its construction.
Mr. L?slie reports that he put on his
best clothes the day of the arrival up
of the Dolphin, expecting Mrs. Leslie
but received only a letter instead in
vrhich she reported that the two
children had been vaccinated in Seattle
and when the boat sailed both were in
bed sick. Major Leslie, who went
down on the JefTer<>on to meet his
mother, was quite ill. William says
regarding the recuit election in which
he is reported to have been engaged, one
way or another, that the next time he
will "bo here and got there," what
ever that may mean.

Bakimore, Sept. 15 ? Mr. Bryan ar
rived here last evening. In an inter
I view in I ho Snn hois quoted as sayir.g
that Roosevelt's lauding of Tnft in
letters designed for publication Is to
, liim very funny. "Tuft," he says
"cannot speak for hitrself and so I he
president must speak for him."
Mr. Iv. C. Miller, well known traveler
for Fleischer, Mayer & Co., I'orilant1,
wno wilii bin wife, Is stopping at the
fifth Avcnuo hotel, has tho whole of
Alaska for a field of endeavor. lie
made the run to Nome this summer hut
I did not get up the Yukon. He speaks
very enthusiastically of the outlook for
Seward peninsula. Ho says Nome U
; undoubtedly a permanent camp; that
quartz discoveries In tho Sawtooth
range and in mountains closo to Nome
are unquestionably good for a life time
of mining. Also there have been many
placer discoveries that bid fair to
' lengthen the life of that camp with this
'regard. He speaks of an excitement
created by new beach diggings found
not far from Nome. Nevertheless, ho
says, Nomo has not been having all that
was coming to her this year because of
the lack of water. Business was not so
good from this fact and then ne adds
that he only sold $15,000 worth of goods.
Reports of the shortage of water and
other depressing influences caused him
to forego the trip to Fairbanks an ' he
says all travelers report poor business?
not because there is not riches in th>
ground but that they have not be?n
taken out.
