May 30.?Dawson is rich er today by six live young foxes than slit was yesterday, and it to calcu lated by some that the little fellows are worth several thousand dollars. The animals were captured in their dens, where they had hidden in the ground near Five Fingers. Five of the little foxes belong to John McEachern and partner, and are temporarily at Dan Cronin's,. where they are kept in a wire cage, and locked in a room. They are about the size of a cat, and as pretty as can be. Three are evidently silver grays, and the others cross foxes. All were captured by McEachern and partner in one den. it is said local fur deal ers who are acquainted with the value of live foxes have offered three to four thousand dollars for the five ani mals. One story is to the effect the owners refused to sell for the reason tley th'tik of starting a fur farm near Dawson, believing the animals reared here will bring them a fortune and that furs of foxes reared in a cold country will be much better and com mand a far better figure than those grown in a warm locality. The sixth fox just brought to the city was captured by Albert Jones, Henry Itader, Charles McDowell, Sr., and Charles McDowell, Jr. The party is headed for Ruby. Mr. Jones says: "Our fox is probably a black or a silver gray. We cannot tell at this age. We caught him close to where the McEachern party got the five others. I knew of the foxes living in that locality. Fifteen years ago 1 came into this country, and herded cattle ten miles this side of Five Fing ers. In a dry creek bottom a mile back from the Yukon 1 then saw a black fox and several coal black kit tens. 1 thought nothing of them then, but now that live foxes are money, I looked for them on this trip down. We found hundreds of holes where the foxes and other animals had hidden. In a place 40 by 100 feet we dug into numerous holes. In one such place where we found our little fox were probably 100 such creatures as go phers, owls, rabbits and the like. We chased our fox to a small hole at the rear, and dug down, kept the entrance covered, pinched him down with a shovel, and then grabbed him bare handed. He fought like a demon, but is now tame and happy and eats regu larly." u?u?vr YUKON GIRL KILLS BEAR WITH RIFLE THISTLE CHEEK.

WltiviiiHbiiAiU LHvaCKlliH-S AIjA&IVA AliAJLlN "\V lien Alaska is mentioned the av erage citizen begins to conjure up pic Lurch 01 glaciers and snowoaiiKs and other arctic scenes," said Delegate James \\ lckersiiam recently heiore tue Senate coininitlee 011 territories, and it is sale to say the description ot Alaska's wonderful agricultural pos sibilities as pictured by its representa tive in Congress astonished the ma jority of his hearers, illustrating this feature ol the North country, Wicker sham described to the committee the Tanana Valley, 5U miles wide, hun dreds ol miles long and as fertile as the .Mississippi \ alley. Describes Tanana. He said: "There are no glaciers north of the Tanana Valley; the gla ciers 01 Alaska are in the southern part, along the seacoast. The Tanana Valley has 110 greater precipitation than Arizona, and would be an arid desert if it were not for the fact that every drop of water and every snow IlaKe that tails iu that country Ts con served. It is maintained there in cold storage, and when the warm spring sun strikes the ground it thaws the surface. When it thaws deep enough we put in our gardens, and then as the moisture is ueeded it comes from below. "We have 22 hours of sunshine af ter we put our seeds in the ground, 22 hours of sunshine for the crops to grow by, and they grow by leaps and bounds. With this ever rising mois ture just below the roots and this in cessant sunshine we raise as flue crops in the Tanana Valley as can be ruised anywhere?potatoes, cabbages, carrots, beets, turnips and everything of that kind, cauliflower, barley and wheat." John E. Balluine, of Seattle, corrob- j orated the statements of Wickershaui j and in addition suid: "1 grew up 011 a farm in Eastern Washington, one of the best agricultural districts in the United States. 1 lived on a farm un til 1 was ltl years old, and 1 know what agriculture is and what it re-; quires. 1 have spent about 12 years; in development work in Alaska, and from what 1 have seen every summer! in tlm Susitna Valley, it is as good a farming district for grasses, hay and j all kinds of vegetables and berries as Eastern Washington from Spokane to Walla Walla. They are growiug apple j trees successfully at Knik, in the Su sitna Valley, and you will know from that that the winter climate there can not be very severe." n?n?o YUKON DEATH LOOKS LIKE A BAD INDIAN ?o-o? FAIRBANKS, May li).- That Victor Ekengren, the woodcliopper at Beaver, 011 the Yukon, who died in January, un der circumstances that have aroused j the Yukon settlements, came to his death directly because of an attack made by Beaver Creek William, an Indian crazed with drink, is the opin ion of Frank Kinosky, of Beaver, says the Fairbanks Times. Captain T. S. Haynes, while on his way from the Chandlar to Fairbanks, took the state ment of William Billings in the mat ter at the Blanchard woodcamp 011 the Yukon. The district attorney is to bo presented with the statement in order to help in presenting the case to the next grand jury. The statement was taken April 26 last, and Billings said that Kinosky told his story a week before at the woodcamp. Kinosky's story was as follows: Beaver Creek William wanted to buy a quantity of whisky from Ekengren, aud came to his cabin for that pur pose one day. The woodchopper told the native that he had none. Eken gren owed the native half of a quar ter of moose meat, and went to the cache for the meat and gave Will iam his half. This done, Ekengren ! was going up the ladder into his cache j to put back his own half of the meat,! when the native jumped upon nim,! pulled him to the ground, jumped 0.1 him and started to pound him with his fists. Adam, another Indian, who was present and witnessed the assault, held his hands over Victor's face, face, while "William continued to heat the prostrate woodchopper. Adam then helped Victor into his cabin. When Victor was sitting on the edge of the Led, the native came in and repeated his request for whisky. When refused it, he pulled the wood chopper from the edge of the bed to the floor, hitting Victor's head and back on the solid floor, and then he started to beat him again. Adam sep arated them, but Beaver Creek Will iam persisted in making demands for the liquor. Victor got a bottle from under the bed and offered it to Will iam. The native refused it, and de manded a full bottle. He again pro ceeded to beat up the woodchopper Then Adam and William left the cab in and went to their tent below. Ad am stated that Beaver Creek William went to the woddchopper's cabin alone afterward. From that day on, Ekengren was sick, coughing blood and being con fined to his cabin continuously. He died nine days later. o?o?o Andrew Young, carpenter and joiner. Jobbing work a specialty.
