The United States Fisa Conunissioni will more an unusually large display of everything pertaining to fishing in the United States, and have their assistants and collectors in every part of the coun try now at Worn. Mr. James (I}. Swan, of this, city, for many years connected with the Smithsonian Institution, the U. S. National Museum, and U. S. Fish Commisuion, has been instructed by Professor Baird to proeitre a complete series of everything illustrative of the methods used in fishing hy ail the In dian tribes within his reach. He has just returned from Cape Faittcry, where he has procured a complete outfit of whaling gear. sealing gear, halibut, and other fish lines of native manufacture, with models of canoes illustrating the method of killing whales and seals, and fishing by ths .\laaah Indians. Mr. Swan will also receive by the next steamer froantlasna similar special )ns il lustrating the modes of fishing adopted by the natives of Alaska, and will, as of ten as opportunity presents. have photo graphs of Indians engaged in tlshing oc» cupatione. Mr. Oregon Hastings, pho. tngrnpher of this city, has been engaged by Mr. Swan to execute this part of the Work, and has already commenced. Mr. Swan requests as to state that he will be ready to receive any articles illustrative of fishing, either among white men or Indians, to be sent to the International Fisheries Exhibition. and will give all needed information to persons who may write to him at this place. It is hoped that everyone will take an interest to have Washington Territory, and particular ly Puget Sound. well represented in that great International Fisheries Exhibition, as such an opportunity is not. likely to occur again soon. Mr. Swan will receive articles for the London exhibition till February next. Everything will be forwarded by him to Washington to Prof. Baird, tree of charge. In Washington the collection will be arranged and sent to London as a part of the exhibit of the United States Fish Commission. Sketches of Italians engaged in fish ing, in preparing fish, making nets or weirs, or any other arocation illustrative of tho fisheries will be of great value. Professor Baird writes that it is their in tention to have such sketches photo graphed on a larger scale, then finished in crayon and mounted. This will give our young artists an opportunity to make pen sketches of anything pertain ing to this question that they may see, and there are plenty of such chances. A canoe with a lot of fish, Italian women carrying baskets of fish on their backs, or splitting, drying and packing fish in their camps. and an endless variety of scenes in Indian fishingexperience, each i of which Would make an illustrative i sketch. All such sketches sent to .\lr.‘ Swan will be forwarded by him to [‘rot'. Baird,and tho sooner they can bosent the greater the certainty that they will be prepared for the London exhibit. This is certainly a rare opportunity and everyone old and young should take an active interest in it. ...—..s.—_ Bran seed for sale at Lumen 5: 00's. ‘ ‘ Alain. “'0 have interviewel Mr. J. M.

He brought asaek of specimens of quartz rock found at dillerent points; in several of these specimens two gold can be plainly seen with the naked eye. He predicts a grand future for Alaska in more ways than one. Specimens ‘of coal, marble, iron, galena, lead, ‘copper, silver, etc., that ho brouget hown bespeak a country rich in ; those products. He says the miners are quiet- and orderly, and have their own police oilicer, mode of justice, etc, but that they want civil govern ment very much. the present inso curit y is keeping out capital that. would otherwrse be available in de veloping the richquartz mines. Uno proposition, he says, that is much titlliutl oi, is petitioning tor the an nexation of qulu‘Uilbtkru Alaska to \\ashmgton 'l'erritory--—all other prayers lor civil government havmg thus lar lulled. Mr. \\'ui. Moore, who has been in Alaska about four years, was also the victim of an interwew by us. his, enthusiasm over the future of that‘ country is unbounded. He declares . it wonderfully rich in all the pro eious metals, while its furs and ash or ics \vould supply tho world. He owns the Monitor quartz ledge in the basin near Juneau, and favored us With a great mass of information which want of space compels us to lay aside for a future article. Both these gentlemen will remain here and at \ ictoria all winter, when they will return in advance of an unpreCedent ed migration of hardy, adventurous spirits in search of the untold wealth that but remains to be extracted from earth and stone. ——-————-.0._- Wm'rn Up Yoca LOCALI’I'Yr-E.
