The main coast of Alaska, to tbe
northwest of Sitka, has never been pros
pected until this year. A number of
men have gone oat with the intention of
making a general examination of the
formation. For years past good speci
mens of ore have been obtained from
this district, bat as a trip necessitated
the outfitting of a good boat, it has been
rather beyond the means of the average
prospector. W e may, however, get some
information about this coast before the
season is over which may throw con
siderable light upon its possibilities as a
mining area. There has been eome gold
found in tbe ruby sand about Yak n tat
bay, but no important quartz discovery
has yet been made.

the fire in less than five minutes after
the alarm was given, in a few minutes
the other comDanies.iSad- streams play
ing, one from the company ping on First
street, one from the engine and one from
tbe city hydrant. The fire was soon
under, control, but it hung on persist
ently, refusing to be put out. The
building is partitioned into many email
rooms, which prevented the water
reaching all parts of4t, and underneath
was a couple oy cords of stove wood,
which burned fiercely,
At one time the shingles on Mrs. E
M. Wilson's house caught fire, but was
extinguished with a bucket of water,
A big burning shingle fell on tbe roof of
tbe Columbia hotel, but it, too, was
soon taken care of.
The building belonged to the Michel
bach estate, and was insurejUor $1000
inTne Hamburg .Bremen (Jo. it was
occupied by Mrs. Brittain, who used it
as a lodging bouse. She was away at
tbe time, and whether the furniture was
insured we are unable to learn. Com
ing as it did in the middle of the night,
nothing was saved from tbe building,
and a lady who was lodging in the house
came near being seriously barned. As
it was her hair was singed, and she was
nearly frightened to death.
Tbe origin of the fire is a mystery,
though the indications are that it caught
from tbe stove in the northeast corner
basement room.
The building was hard to get at, tbe
companies using from 500 to 650 feet of
hose each. .
As is usual at fires same ludicrous
things occurred. Joe Bonn rode his
wheel to the fire, and tnthongh it has
rat-trap pedals, did no discover that he
had started without is shoes until he
hurt his feet on the locks.
At one time th nozzle on the hose
from the engine nearly got away from
the boys, and they all piled on it until
it looked libe a struggle at a foot-ball
match:
This morning at an early hour, wLile
assisting in putting out the slumbering
embers Mr. Schooling slipped and fell,
cutting his wrist badly on a piece of
broken glass.
The members of the fire department
deserve praise for their quick response
and tbe business-like manner in which
they went to work.
There is nothing so thoroughly appre
ciated by tbe ladies daring tbe hot wea
