Princess Tom upeaks only commercial English, nnd only enough of that to euablo her to tlrivo n trade, at which she is very ex pert. Therefore. I had to enlist the TBINCESS T03I.

When Miss Campbell ex plained to hor that I was impelled more by scieutitio interest and lovo of hunting than the love of dollars, she marveled still more, because tho white men sho had met wcro hunters of dol lars.

Tho trading instinct was as h'.ron'i: in her ns ever it was in .Tay (ioitld or in liussell Hrvgo. Sho began by pcddliug the furs taken by her hn.sband, and finding that f ile w as skilled intrado t-Uo also made deals for the husbands of her friends and neighbors. Then hud saw n good chance to make good trades for her self, and bought lurs from other In dians and took them to tho trading posts. Meanwhile, sho became a col lector of blankets, copper kettles and that sort of thiug. In the course of a few years hho nmn.-.sed i vat amount of Indian wealth) but learned that white man's wealth was better. (So, as teen as possible, tho cold her Indian st ii !Y for silver money. Later it came to her knowledge that gold was belter thnu bilvir, and kIio traded her silver for gold, of which she now owns about $1.1,00!) worth in &'.?0 pieces. Jiesides thebu iliu has luuninerablo bangles, bracelet, necklaces and other orna ments made from tho hhiniug yellow coin of the United Ktatc?. Some of her bracelets uuvo as muny as fifteen O'-O gold pieces in them, and when l'l-incoss Tom decks herself oat iu her golden coin jewelry bho is a person of weight. Her golden treasuro is hid den luvnv iu n variety of places, nud, ns tho novel' upends any of it, it is getting to bo n burden, especially as she cannot look ut it verv often for fenr of attracting cavctous oyes to its resting places. l'riucLF Ton's mail u something crcrmou?, considering all things. Im pecunious persons who have heard of her and rely upon her being a simple Indian maiden with a lot of money she docs not know how to fpecd, write begging letters. Miaa Campbell reads these to her whenever a sufiioient num ber havo aconmulatedto make it worth while. After the fashion of writers of begging letters, most of these begin by stuting that the person who writes has heard of the good and bene&oent Prin oess Tom, and admires her for her ability and wealth. This sort of thing the princess enjoys, beoause she really believe in human nature, but as soon m the reader comes to that portion of the letter which begs or demands monoy the prinooss flies into a rago and will hoar no mora of it, for the old lady loves her wealth exceedingly. As the employer of a large number traders, hunters, boatmen and agentn and the owner of number of virtual slaves, rrinoess Tom is kept reasona bly busy looking after her affairs. Her husbands, of whieh titer's aro five, avo graded iu her estimation. Tho oldest docs no work, those of tho middle-aged men who possess sufficient inn telligcneo nssist her in managing her affairs. The youngest and latest is be ing "raised a pet," and ho seems (o realize that he has a good position. I had several interpreted talks with 1'riucess Tom and found her to be an unusually .intelligent lndiau woman ns well us a good American. Her obser vations about American affairs, and particularly thoso relating or of inter est' to Alaska, showed good sonso and mori information than ona would sus pL'ct. She hopod, she said, Vo see the time) when Alaska would be ruoro closely goverod and tho vast interests ofthu territory opened to intelligent trade. Hho knows intimately the de tails of hunting fur-bearing nnimnl?, and 1 jn 1g'! that sho could not bo easily fooled by her agents and mid dlemen. Sho brought Homo of her choicest sea otter nkin9 out for my in spection, and displayed an intimato knowledge of their uso in other coun tries and their value. Sho nlao insisted that her photograph bo taken with ouo of her sea otter skins hanging over her arm. Sho carries ft gold wntcb, of which f-ho well knows the r.ses, and al though sho owns a good deal of jew elry, seldom wears nuy of it. Her clothes she has mado in tho American fashion, as nearly as Alaskan soarus- t routes eon copy it. I nskod her if sue intended visiting thn United States, and described to mm AiASKAN cnir.nnp.N-. her tho cane of travoling across the great stretohos of country lying be tweou tho l'acillo and Atlantic coasts. Sho said that she knew all about that, and had heard of Chicago and Now York and Washington, and knew their populations, but she was now too old. When younger travel was not jo easily accomplished, and she was not so rich, but now she could not leave her busi ness and tho East must get along with out her. Sho does not ranko friendships eas ily with white men, and has nover al lowed anyono to photograph her. Through the good offices of Miss Campbell, however, I was enabled to establish uoh confidence that she readily granted my request to photo graph her, and grew quite interested in it, although she insisted on looking into the camera as soon as I had taken it, and could not or would not under stand why this was not possible until after the plate had boon developed. At Junean I mado the acquaintance of two Indian chiefs who are great ad inirers and friends of rrinoess Tom, One of tbeso, Chief Tlan-Tech, of the Kah-wan-tan elan, was a most inter esting old chap, who wore a high silk hat and ktore clothes with' a great deal of jauntinoss. He is as naturally born to polities as an Iriuhman, and lives in a Rood piuo bouse with his numerous wives and progeny. Another chief was quite amusing with his preten sions of fashionable manners, creased trousers and other evidouces of opu lence, to tay nothing of the gold. headed cane he always carried. His house was furnished very comfortably, and in his parlor hung picture cards and little Kitucracks, besides innumer able colored prints of saints and the Christ, presented to him. by the priest of the ltussian-Greek church, of which he is a devout member.
