may be decreed for the surrender of the fleet and
the great disaster" Would save his staff
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)
Constradt, July 6? Admiral Rojest
vensky has plead guilty of everything
with which he has been charged at the
court martial brought against him and
his staff for the surrender of his fleet to
the Japanese. Moreover the Russian
admiral demands that the severest pun
ishment that can be decreed by the
court be pronounced against him and
be takes all the blame for the great
naval disaster to himself.
It is believed that Admiral Kojest
vensky has been actuated in his course
in pleading guilty before the court
martial by S desire to save the mem
bers ol his staff who, while he was ly
ing wounded surrendered the fleet,
from the daom which must be meted
to them were they found blameable.
All the staff officers of the admiral have
plead not guilty. If the admiral's plea
is accepted a death sentence will cer
tainly follow. It will take several days
more to hear the testimony.

pointed, But There is Plenty of Work
for Miners and Prospectors
The quantity of work he found to do
here compelled Major Richardson to
remain over a day longer and prevented
him from gating away this morning as
he expected to do. Mr. McPherson. 1
civil engineer in charge of the bi*;
gjrvey? Fairbanks to Nome? got away <
however, and Major Richardson will
follow in the morning In time to make
down-river connections at Dawson, r
There are foursurvey parties under the
immediate direction of McPherson.
One, in charge of Webster Brown, will
work fr >m Fairbanks towards Kara part,
tbe second under Mr. Blakely, will
work both ways from Rampart towards
Fairbanks and the Koyukuk river; No.
three under Mr. Wrieht.from tue Koy
ukuk toward Rampart; while the fourth
under Mr. Jo'es, which went up by
steamer to Nome, will work from Coun
cil City to the Koyukuk. A feasible
crcssing of the Yukon, it is expected
will be found near Rampart. The op
pcrations of the four parties, it is be
lieved will enable Major Richardson to
report upon a practicable route for a j
railroad -which will first be developed !
by a tfrail? from Valdez tc Council city.
Major Richardson, himself goes
direct to Fairbanks where he will in
spect the winter work of Engineer Zug,
and d rect the advancement of
the summer's work. He will then
go to Koine for a similar purpose,
after which he will return to Fair
banks and in the fall will make his way
out over the trail from Fairbanks to
Valdez. The great ?orlc t)f the road
commission in practical road building
this year, is of course, the trail be
tween \ aldez and Fa.rbanks. This is
to be made into a practical throu;;hfare
for summer as well as win'er travel.
The trail last winter is described as be
ing "a fright" ?a constant succession
of chuck holes? diflxult in winter imj
possible in summer. This ro*d, which
last winter accommodated only single
horse sleds, is to be prepared for
double teams, and the speedy trans

Louis Garfinkle passed through
yesterday on his way to Seattle and
direct from Fairbanks. Mr. Garfinkle
was formerly a merchant of Dawson
and the north country but is now lo
cated in Seattle and his business is now
1 to sell to those with whom he used to
compete. In other words he has been
inside soliciting orders for goods to be
delivered this, season and was going out
in a hurry on that account. He reports
himself loaded up with crders and is
not of the number that is knocking the
new Alaskan camp. He says Fairbanks
wcs struck a severe blow by the fire but
that it is recovering rapidly, the whole
town, i.e says being practically rebuilt
at this time. A new building is rapidly
approaching completion on the site of
the big Fairbanks builcHng where the j
fire started. It is not quite as hand
some as the other although but two
stories while the former building was
three. The third story of the Fair
banks building bad been constructed by
the Eagles for their own use and the
order did not rebuild.
Nearly all the burnt district is cov-J
ered again although the buildipgs are!
not, of course finished. The exception j
is the strip on the water side of First j
avenue where stood the Riverside hotel. ?'
I The 1- rgestand handsomest I otel build- j
. ing in the city. Some delay hns been '
experienced here because the owner of i
the property is outside but 'here is j
little doubt the hotel will be built |
again.
"The streets of Fairbanks just row" j
said Mr. Uarfincle "were crowded with !
! newcomers and every boat we passed j
l
coming out was carrying the limit of
her accommodations to add to that
number. The cry everywhere is that
the town is "overdone." This is, of
couise, true, so far as a great number
of uoassimiiated people can make it so
The fact is Fairbanks is going through
the same experience as Dawson went
through in '98 and '99. The outside
world has been slower to believe the
reoorts from the Taoana than than Of
the first wonderful story of the Klon
dike but, the repitition and the re
ceipts of gold at the mints have com
pelled belief and now the rush is on.
This crowd will contribute to the pros
perity of hotels and restaurants for a
while acd then will come out knocking
of course. That is to be expected. But
the proprietors are turning up gold in
every direction, about Fairbanks and
while the output may not reach the
very sanguine expectations voiced in
the news papers during the winter it
will greatly exceed that of kit year,
I estimate the output at about ten
million. The Kantishna country whii h
was knocked all winter in Fairbanks
has taken on a new boom. That dis
trict is expected to turn out $400,000
this season. Many are going in there
now. The tenderfoot country? which
is to the eastward of Fairbanks while
Kantistna is southwest is also giving
good substantial reports of it self The
future is bright for all that country and
while the great crowd that goes may
find it little to their liking the miner
and prospector will find themselves at
home.
