A wild man is reported to have been
seen on the Salmon creek road, near
Juneau, turned out to be Sidney
Charles, editor of the Juneau Dispatch,
returning from a hunting trip with
a week's growth of heard.
A" king salmon weighing 22 1-2
pounds was recently caught at Teller,
and bore the mark “O M" with a
horizontal liar marked over the let
ters. This is generally believed to be
a hatchery mark.
It is reported from Juneau that Em
ery Valentine, who lias declared his
intention to keep out of the delegate
campaign this year, will likely come
out again for Wiekersham when the
proper time comes.
Children playing around the Shat
tuck wharf at Juneau discovered the
body of Dan White, a native, and a
resident of lioonali, who had been
missing for several days. Death was
due to excessive drinking.
in the recent rough weather on
Cook inlet a barge carrying a crew
of six went adrift from Anchorage and i
came ashore at Die mouth of the Sit-i
"itna river. The crew was rescued I
by the lighthouse tender Kukui.
Kev. Father Fletcher, formerly o
Colville, Wash., will succeed Kev. Fa
ther Kennelly as pastor of the Catho
lie churc h at Juneau. The latter has
been transferred to Missoula, Mont,
on account of poor health.
The men working at Mile 3 or
the railroad out of Seward, quit re
eentl.v because they had to travel be
tween the camp and their work or
their own time. The camp was situated
at a considerable distance from the
work.
The halibut fleet operating out ol
Juneau reports unusually rough wea
ther on the banks which is greatly in
terfering with the catch. Only the
larger and more powerful boats arc
able to buffet the waves and make any
catches.

MEXICAN PAPER;
DESTROYER
MEXICO CITY. Sept. X. — The. de
struction of the so-called Vera Cruz
issue of Mexican currency and the is
suance of the new paper money known
as "Infalsieahlex" have made the gov
ernment printing office one of the
busiest spots in Mexico. The Vera
Cruz bills, over $5,000,000 worth of
which have been destroyed, are cut
into strips in a hydraulic press, trans- j
formed into pulp and made into card- j
hoard and pasteboard, of which there
is great scare itv. This products finds j
a ready sale, and it is possible that j
•
the government may also destroy old
documents to produce material for a
government box factory In the near
future.
The' department now is working at
high pressure to turn out the new "in
j falsicables" $2 bills, sorely needed be
I cause of the scarcity of small change,
j \ot only the modern presses, but the
; old hand presses are being utilized to
expedite the work.
The tremendous quantity of stamps
| and post cards printed under the Huer
ta regime are being revalidated by!
the impress of a special die (-hanging
the denomination.
The stumping out of copper coins
t.s been begun, and it is announced
this is to he followed shortly by the
coinage of both gold and silver.
