There will bo lawlessness and a reign
of terror in tho now gold nobis at Capo
Nome, Alaska, next Rummer, in tho
opinion of John (. Jlrady, governor of
tho territory, and Ocorgo N. Wright,
IKistmaster at Capo Nome, unlos con
gress take Htups to establish civil gov
ernment on n firm foundation and
make laws iloflnlng tho proprietorship
of claim. Governor Jlrady and Mr.
AVright nro in tho Kast endeavoring to
obtain tho appointment of United State
judges at Sitka, Clrclo City and Capo
Nome. An extraordinary ruh of gold
seeker to tho last named placo is ex
pected next May when communication
with tho outside world i reopened.
Mr. Wright believe that before tho end
of tho summer, thoro will bo 00,000
person in Capo Nome.
"Wo want tho general land laws ex
tended to Alaska, so that wo havo
homestead rights," said Mr. Wright
last night, "otherwiso wo cannot holp
having a great deal of trouble. Wo
are without tho legal form of govern
ment. Wo havo organized ono of our
own. electing a mayor, a council, a
chief of jiolice and other officers, but
it ha no standing in law. Thero were
2,000 men thero last year, and they
agreed among themsolvc to observe
each other' rights, but it will bo dif
ferent when wo have 00,000.
"In law, nobody hu any right to the
beach, between tho high nud low woter
marks, where thero aro rich deoslts of
gold. It ought to lio laid off in small
plot for tho sale of tho mineral right.
Though gold wa discovered in Cape
Nome a yenr ago last Septernbor, wo
did nut get the news in Seattlu until
lust May. Wo suspected ut first that
it was a Hchcmc of tho steamship com
panies to got passengers, as tho Yukoii
business was getting stuck. I tele
graphed to Washington to bo appointed
IKistmaster and wuh appointed over
night hy wiro. I got to Nome July 4,
when thero wus not a sluico box iu the
district.
"Lumber came in later, and aliout
3,500,000 of gold was taken out last
summer. One claim In Anvil creek
paid $175,000 in fivo weeks. I know
because 1 handled tho money. Three
claims iu Snow gulch paid 1500,000.

Ou tho Yukon the-gold is woll below
the surface, hut at Nome it lies near
tho top of the ground. Many claims
have been staked out, but thero is a
vast region still to bo explored. The
formation is very peculiar. Back of
tho beach, which is white sand, and
rising 10 feet abovo it, is a Hat strip
called tundras, which extends from
two to four miles hack to the moun
tains. This has a layer of moss or peat
ou top, then comes n layer of blue clay
from 0 to 15 iuches thick, aud then the
white Band to bedrock 25 feet below.
Tho gold in tho white sand runs from
50 cents to $1.50 a pan, and tho pay
streak of ruby sand ou the bedrock runs
$5 to the pan, besides coarse gold.
"Ono of the steamers took 350 tons
of sand shoveled at random from thu
beach to San Francisco last year. It
was put into a smelter aud yielded
$U,000 in gold. Tho beach has been
prospected for 15 miles. Noliody
knows whero tho gold camo from.
Somo think it was from hills brought
down by glaciers, and somo think it
was thrown up by a volcano.
"Governor Iirady wants Alaska to

A bill has been framed hy Senator
Perkins to amend tho criminal codo
which wits adopted for Alaska at tho
last session of congress. In this bill,
Senator Perkins prohibits tho construc
tion of barricade in stream for tho
purpose or with the end of preventing
Jlsh ascending tho stream or river of
Alaska. It i provided that it shall bo
unlawful to fish for salmon except with
rod or spear, abovo the tldo waters of

tion. Seining or catching fish in these
streams for a distance of more than a
third of the width of tho stream i

another. Fishing for salmon in the
water of Alaska from 0 p. in. Saturday
until 0 a. in. on tho following Monday
is also prohibited, except in Iiehring
sea and it tributaries. The secretary
of tho treasury is authorized to set
asido whatetcr streams ho may desire
a spawning grounds, when he may'
consider that fishing operations on such
streams are being conducted so that
tho number of salmon taken is larger
than the capacity of tho stream to pro
duce, or if tho fishing operation pre
vent a sufficient ingress of salmon to
the spawning grounds, ho may estab
lish weekly closed seasons, to limit the
duration of tho fishing season, pro
scribe tho volume of the catch at such
places, or prohibit it entirely; provided
this action is taken after tho persons
interested havo been given a fair hear
ing in their own liehalf.
The secretary of tho treasury is also
authorized to require the erection of
salmon hatcheries of suitable capacity
at any fisheries or fish establishments
in Alaska, which are to bo maintained
by tiio persons operating tho fishery,

Leading rtur of tlis Trad IMaatUf
Thl Weok.
Bradstrcet's says! Tho strength of
staple, and particularly thoso of agri
cultural origin, is the leading feature
this week, at least. In general trade,
weather conditions havo not favored
big distribution, but, compared witb
a year ago, aro still quite favorable.
Enlarged speculation is reflocted In in
creased bank clearings, and compari
sons with last year aro again encourag
ing, while gains over years previous to
1809 aro very marked. In strength of
demand, and slzo o( advanco, cotton
are still easily first. Although the crop
movement has noticeably enlarged w
active has been the demand for foreign
spinners that fully 38 cents advance is
shown.

kets. A further gain in blast furnace ca
pacity is noted. Current production
is now little below 10,000,000 tons
