THE OLDEST MAIL
CARRIER HERE
Hugh Day arrived in Juneau on the
Georgia yesterday. Hugh Day is the
oldest mail carrier of the North now
living. He carried the first winter
mail into the interior of Alaska mak
ing four trips from Juneau to Circle
City during tho winter of ISilG. In
those days it meant something to
start out on this long journey over
land in the midst of winter. There
were no road houses after leaving
Dyea until reaching Selkirk.
In 1S08 Mr. Day, who wus then op
erating a mining claim on Lower Do
minion Creek in the Klondike coun
try was badly crippled by the falling
of a bucket down the shaft In which
he was working. His leg was so bad
ly broken that it had to be amputat
ed.
This forced him to give up the
strenuous life of the interior and come
to the coast. Last March he estab
lished himself in business at Tenukee
and now is making that place his
home.
Yesterday Hugh sat around waiting
for news of the dog races. He seem
ed as excited as Senator Bruner and
the other Nome contingent over the
probable outcome of the great sweep- j
stakes. "Do you know," he said, "I'd I
like to drive a team of dogs once more!
but of course I can't with this leg j
gone. The next best thing is to get;
in a small boat in the spring and float'
down the old Yukon, camping where I
you like and time enough to get i
few graylings for breakfast ?Oh,
there's nothing like it."
JAFET LINDEBERG TO
MINE FOR HIMSELF
Jafet Lindeberg. of Nome, president
of the Pioneer Mining company, and
believed by many that know him to
be the greatest expert on placer min
ing in the country, is going into the
dredging business for himself on Se
ward Peninsula and in California, as
a "side line" to his occupation as the
directing head of the great Pioneer
company.
Concerning Mr. Lindeberg's new
venture, the Seattle Times says:
Guided by the success made by the
Seattle constructed dredge on the In
machuck river, Seward peninsula, last
summer, Jafet Lindeberg, president
of the Pioneer Mining company, and
A. H. J. Prichard, another Alaska
mining man, have purchased an im
mense tract of land on that stream,
and have commenced the construc
tion of a dredge handling 2,000 yards
of gravel daily. The barges are be
ing built in Seattle under the direc
tion of Walter W. Johnson, of the
Union Construction Company, of San
Francisco.
"The organization, which is known
as the Kotzebue Mining company,
has acquired all of the land lying be
tween the Fairhaven Water Company
property and the Fries ground, upon
which the American Dredge Building
& Construction conipanv's machine
made such a success last year. This
machine not only paid for itself the
first season but took out sufficient
gold to pay a handsome profit to its
owners.
"Lindeberg is also planning big min
ing operations in California. Apart
from the installation of the dredge
next summer, he will not extend op
erations at Nome."

merce commission the express com

SENATORS TOKEN
Of APPRECIATION
The members of the Senate deter
mined not to wait until the session
was over before their appreciation of
the services of their chaplian should
take some outward form, therefore,
on Saturday Rev. Stevens and Mrs.
Stevens were each presented with a
nice easy chair. Accompany the
token of appreciation was the follow
ing letter:
Rev. J. B. Stevens, ]
Juneau, Alaska. ;
My Dear Sir:
The senators instruct me to con- )
vey to you their appreciation of your |;
service as Chaplain of the Senate. ?
We regret that we are unable to
appropriate from the funds Congress <
has set aBide for our use, a daily lion- |
arium in Just recognition of your ;
faithfulness and sincere performance <
of the duty you so courteously as- !
sumcd. j |
We congratulate you upon the dig- j
nlfied and refined manner in which
you officiate as our Chaplain, and ,
express to you our sincere thanks i
for your courtesy and kindness.
Wo beg of you to accept, as a to-1
ken and remembrance of your ser
vices in behalf of the Senate of the j
First Session of the Territorial Leg-1
islature of Alaska, the articles of fur
niture which we send. We trust your
j use of them will add to your dally
| comfort and rest, and that the
thoughts and associations awakened
by their use, call to your mind the
esteem in which you are held by the
Senators of Alaska, and prove to fur
nish a grateful remembrance of your
attendance upon our first, and des
tined to be, historical Senate.
With sincere well wishes to you and
yours, I beg to remain, on behalf of
the Senate,
Yours Sincerely,
L. V. RAY,
President of the Senate.
CAUCUS WILL HE
USED IF NECESSARY
WASHINGTON, April 14.? That
the caucus rule will be adopted to
help drive the Demicratic tariff bills
through the Senate should some of the
Democratic Senators prove recalcit
rant is the opinion expressed at the
capitol. No effort will be made, how
ever, to compele Senators tc vote ac
cording to caucus instruction when
they have been instructed by their
state, or given pledges to their states
to uphold other positions than those
taken by the caucus.
Senator Martin, of Virginia, cliair-1
man of the appropriations commit
tee, says that while he had not dis
cussed the tariff situation with other
senators or with members of the
House, he believes the Senate Dem
ocrats with a majority of six or sev
en could get together 011 the tariff
measure without much difficulty. He
said that there was no good reason
provided that only tariff was taken
up, why Congress should not com-!
plete its labors by the middle of
June.
"I believe that the House should
send the tariff measures over sclied-,
ule by schedule, or with two or three
of them consolidated in a single bill"
said Senator Martin, "and in this way
the Senate would be enabled to get
many of the schedulesou tof of the
way while the House was putting;
through the others."

KETCHIKAN TROUT
COME WITH SPRING
At last it looks u3 though spring
were really here. Not in the weath
er particularly, although that isn't
bad, nor in the gardens, for they are
behind last year? but In the creek?
the trout are runing again. K Berg
went out today noon, and In less than!
three hours came home with a fine,
string of "cut throats." That's a
sign that's hard to beat, and inci
dentally they taste mighty good.?
