COUNTY
Washington, Aug. 26.— Some inter
esting statements relating to the gold
region in Alaska ami the reindeer ex
periment there are brought out in the
annual statement of United States Com
missioner of Educatoin Harris, sub
m itted today. Touching on the ini|K»rt-
ance of extending the introduction of
reindeer into that territory, the re[<ort
says the reindeer stations ought to be
able to furnish 600 reindeer trained to
the harness at once for use of miners
oil the Upper Yukon river.
‘ ‘ It was my purpose,” the commis
sioner goes on “ to detail three of the
skilled herdsmen and 300 tanned rein
deer to the Yukon region the present
summer.”
I f this arrangemment is carried out
as intended, an important experiment
w ill be in progress during the coming
year at the gold mines. The plan of
the bureau has been to arrange a rein
deer express, connecting towns in a line
from Behring straits to Kodiak island.

trict, but the department’s agent, w rit
ing from St. Michaels, says he is afraid '
he w ill be forced to discontinue it, be
cause of the exodus of the city ’s popu
lation into the region nearer the re
cently discovered mines.
The influx of miners into the Yukon
has caused a demand for reindeer for
freighting purposes.
In the original
plan of the purchase and distribution
of reindeer, the purpose was to secure
a new food supply for the famishing
Eskimos of the Behring sea and the
Arctic ocean region, but it is now found
that reindeer are as essential to white
men as to Eskimos.
The wonderful
Yukon placer mines are situated 25 to
100 miles from the great stream. P ro
visions brought from the south and
landed on the banks of the river are,
with great, difflcutly, transi>orted to the
mines on the tributary streams.
Last
winter mongrel dogs, for trans|S)rtation
purposes, cost from $100 to $200 each,
and freight charges from the river to
the mountain range from 16 to 20 cents
jier pound. The trained reindeer make
in a day two or three times the distance
covered by dog teams, and have the ad
vantage that they can use the abundant
moss as food.

New York, Aug. 23.— A dispatch to
tlie Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
Telegraphic advices from the Herald’ s

the effect that a vessel of the Atlantic
squadron lias picked up and holds at
Bahia, John L«*mi and the other mem
bers of the crew of the American
schooner Olive Packer, who mutinied
at sea.
They murdered the captain,
J. W . Whitman, and the first mate,
W illiam Sanders, after having lia«i
trouble.
The crime was committed
about 125 miles from Buenos Ayres.
The six prisoners have made oonfes-
sion of their part in it, and have at
tempted little concealment.
They say
that after the murders they set the ves
sel on fire and took to the boats.
The
schooner was laden witli lumber and
burned very quickly.
The men had
rough experieiu-es before they were
pickeil up.
The details of the mutiny have not
been given out yet, but the men sa y
there had been ill-feeling on the whole
voyage, and the captain and the second
mate had maile strong enemies of all
the members of the crew.
The U n it«! States consul w ill take
charge of the men, and they w ill prob
ably be sent to Boston on a merchant
vessel for trial.
