The Ketchikan Daily Miuer of Sept 1 18, says: Word has been received here and it comes from well authenticated sources, that there is an epidemic of small pox in the Nass river district, aud that the natives are fleeing from it, with the chance of scattering the cou tagion in all directions. Twenty-eight cases are reported on Nass river, nine case* at Metlakahtla aud three at Port Simpson. A number of canoes with persons from the infected 'list rict ar rived at Metlakahtla last night, and were sent away by Mr. Duncan's orders as soon as he learned from whence they had eotne. These same canoes and peo ple arrived in the nativo village hero today, where they are now supposed to be. The report may be more or less ex aggerated, but the matter is of such se rious import as to demand the immedi ate and earnest attention of the town authorities, to the end that all neces sary precautions may be taken to pre vent infection and the spread of the dread disease among our people. Action cannot be too promptly taken in tho premises. Will H. Thompson, special master-in chancery, appointed by Federal Judge Hauford to file, hear and determinothe claims of Alaska miners against the government, us the result of the spec ulations of George Edward Adams from the local assay office, hag completed his final report, which will be filed Monday in the United States court, says the Se attle Star. The total amount of the claims allowed is $59,509.07. The largest claim filed was that of the Pioneer Mining Co., which was $27,215.66, but this account was withdrawn and conse quently no allowance ma<?io. The next largest was that of the Fairbanks'Bank ing Co., which was $8,745.09, and the third largest that of W. H. Solderburg, who is awarded 87,343.98. Many smaller claims were filed ranging from amounts of a i'ew dollars to $1,000. It is general ly thought that the defaulter stole many times the amount allowed by the mastery-in-chancery, who in spite of advertisements in Alaska and else where, had difficulty in getting miuers to lile claims. It is thought that many miners realized that there had been peculations from their deposits but did not consider it worth while to ask for amounts as small as the majority of the separate stealings of Adams seem to have been. It is generally believed that the gold thief will come forth from the penitentiary a rich man after all of the finding^ of the master iu chancery have been fulfilled by the payment of the miners. It is now expected that action will be brought by Mrs. Adams to secure a djvorce from her convict r husband and that she will ask for the considerable proporty of the embezzler which will remain after the claims of his victims are paid.
