MCCARTHY, June 10.—Lnto arrivals
from the Chlsana stale that sluicing
of the winter dumps has proven more
satisfactory in results than antici
pated. Wulf and Altman, working No.
4 Bonanza, under n suit lease from
llamshnw, cleaned up something over
$4,000 at the first clean up with as
much more dirt to wash. Others
working on upper Bonanza and tribu
taries are also making good clean
upB. I In trishaw Is not coming In this
season, from present reports, and
there is much grief among those who
have money coming.
The trail from McCarthy to the
Nizina has ceased to be anything but
a quagmire with ooze from one to
three feet in depth most of the ten
miles. Packers are refusing to at
tempt the trip at any price, saying
that it Is cruelty to animals to attempt
it. Those who do go over the trail
take light loads and spend much of
their time in pulling their horses out
of the mud by the neck. Many letters
have been written to the Road Com
mission praying for aid and it is
expected that some relief will be
granted.
E. C. Maddox, trustee in bank
ruptcy in the matter of the estate of
J. A. Fagerberg, bankrupt, has con
cluded his labors and left on yester
day's train to make his final report
nt Valdez. Ed has made an enviable
record as a salesman, cleaning up the
stock of the Fagerberg store at Black
burn at prices well over the appraised
value. While McCarthy does not ex
pect to have any more bankrupts, yet
we are always glad to welcome Mr.
Maddox back in whatever capacity he
may come.
McCarthy is enjoying summer
weather, plenty of fresh vegetables
and perfect peace. The only disturb
ing element to the somnolent inhabi
tant is the sound of the blasting from
the placer mines and from the
Bonanza. The arrival of the train
causes a temporary stir which is soon
ever when the genial conductor Mr.
Butler having lost a couple of games
of solo, leads his caravan of copper
cars Imck down the track.
KM OF
BISHOP E
REMEMBERED
A plan is on foot for somewhat re
warding lit. Rev. I*. T. Rome, Episco
pal bishop of Alaska, for his long and
faithful service in the Northland, by a
donation from his friends throughout
Alaska in honor of the twentieth anni
versray of his ordination for Alaska,
which lakes place this year.
The idea comes from a number of
personal friends. Several have asked
Rev. J. R. Jones, in charge of the rec
tory of the Episcopal church in
Juneau, to take the initiative. It is
suggested that subscription papers be
circulated for a volunteer offering
from the many friends of the bishop,
or donations may be addressed to the
rectory.
It has not been fully outlined as yet
just what form the presentation will
take, but it Is likely that when the
fund is completed a program will be
arranged In Juneau and the presenta
tion made and the bishop given a
chance to reply, probably some time
in July.
To the old timers in Alaska Bishop
Rowe needs no introduction. He has
mushed over every part of the great
Northland, putting up with hardships
and establishing missions and hospi
tals and rescue work. Since his long
service in Alaska he has lost his wife
and son. The trails have never been
too bleak nor the distance too long for
him in the line of duty. And a call of
distress, no matter how remote,
whether from white or native, has
never gone unheeded when called to
the attention of the bishop. His heart
as well as his work has been in
Alaska He has used his inflnence in
tlie east always to demand a square
deal for the people of Alaska and he
has established practical clubs and
reading rooms in new camps where
the "boys” had a chance to smoke,
read, play pool, play cards and make
themselves at home, when fur away
from their own homes and when
friends were scarce and far between,
save for the money which they might
spend.
The bishop is now getting old. He
has given freely of the best that Is In
him; he has never asked for anything
save for the use of others, and no
doubt now that a spontaneous move
ment has been set on foot to try to
express some of the appreciation felt,
It will meet with a hearty support and
endorsement In every part of Alaska

ALASKA TO
Replies have been received by the
Alaska Secretary to some of the
memorials passed by the Territorial
legislature at its recent session,
copies of which were mailed to the
various offices at Washington.
As a whole, the general trend of
the replies is not frought with much
that is favorable, and so far, except
in the case of mail service between
Bethel and McGrath, the memorials
have been unfavorably passed upon,
for various reasons.
Joseph Stewart, of the Postofflce
Department, writes as follows In reply
to the memorial: "In reply to your
letter of the 11th instant which the
Postmaster General has referred to
me, transmitting the House Joint
Memorial No. 7, of the Alaska Terri
torial Legislature, requesting provi
sion for mall service during the sum
mer season on a route between Ophlr
and Tokotna, I have to inform you
that mall service during the season
of navigation of 1915 has been author
ized on the steamboat route No. 78043
from Bethel to McGrath. It may bo
practicable for Tokotna to receive
mail from McGrath if boats be oper
ated between Bethel and McGrath, so
that a material extent of service may
be performed. However, the post
master at Tokotna has been author
ized to employ such special service
from Ophir as he can obtain for an
amount equal to two-thirds his com
pensation as postmaster. The carrier
to be paid by the Department at that
rate.
AiasKa insane Asylum
Replying to the Mouse Joint Memo
rial, No. 23, which petitions for the
establishment of an insane asylum
within the Territory of Alaska,
Stephen T. Mather, Assistant Secre
tary of the Department of the Interior,
writes that the matter Ib being given
very careful consideration and that a
decision will soon be reached.
No Bristol Bay Wire
Henry Breckenridge, Assistant Sec
retary of War, to whom was sent
Memorial No. 12, requesting the estab
lishment of a telegraph station at
Dillingham, on Bristol Bay, has writ
ten that there are no funds at present
available to defray the expenses of
establishing such a station and that
the communication has been for
warded to the Secretary of the Navy.
Fish Traps Federal Matter
William C. KedtleUi replies to the
“Fish Trap Memorial. No. 16. as fol
lows: “I will take this opportunity to
express my belief that the time is not
ripe for the assumption by the Terri
torial Legislature of Alaska of full
jurisdiction over the fishing Industry.
It is my belief that just as any legiti
mate business enterprise 1b entitled to
the legitimate protection so should
those engaged in the taking of iish
lawfully by the use of traps and other
appliances be entitled to lawful sup
port. If this protection can be ob
tained by no better means than by
allowing trap site holders to obtain
title thereto, I should favor granting
such title.
"It should be remembered in this
connection that the fisheries of Alaska
have an Importance that is far greater
than a local one. They are, by reason
of the distribution of our national
products, a matter of International
trade.
“For these as well as for other
reasons, while any suggestions coming
from the Alaska Territorial legis
lature will receive diligent care, the
present case must be very fully and
carefully considered in all its impor
tant relations before any action can
lie contemplated."

AUTO TRIPS FOR
SUMMER BEEN
At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, held last night, a telegram
was read from the Chitlna Chamber
announcing that the summer schedule
of the Sheldon automobile service be
tween Fairbanks and Chitlna was now
in effect, the first load of passengers
having already arrived over the trail.
The fare has been reduced to $75 per
trip with a 40-pound allowance of
baggage.
As A. J. Adams will shortly leave
for San Francisco the Chamber dele
gated him to represent that body and
the Copper River valley section at the
fair on Cordova Day and Alaska Day.
A communication was read from the
Alaska and Northwest Mining Journal
asking for information in reference to
the mining properties in this section,
the same to be compiled in a direc
tory soon to be issued by that maga
zine. H. G. Steel, who leaves for
Seattle on the steamer Northwestern,
was delegated to take the official re
port of the Chamber on the mines of
the Copper River valley with him and
allow the Journal to make what use
it desired of same.
The committee having In charge the
Shushanna trail deficit, which amounts
to about $2,000, reported that $1,725
had been raised to liquidate the in
debtedness. The committee was con
tinued in order that this matter may
be closed up.
