NORTH POLE MINING.
A Claim Further North Than
Any Mine in the World.
LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
An EIdorado Amid the Wonders of the
Aurora Boreaiis-1ts Owner
in This City.

There was 3 man in Seattle yesterday
who owns a mine located probably further
north than any mine in the world
The gentleman's name is ]. c. Green,
and mis- mine IS called the AOmalik" mine.
II IS situated on the Fish river in the ex-
IRENE Northwestern part of Alaska. nesr
Golovnin bay. which is about sixty miles
north OF ST. MichgeI's. To get better idea
of how far north Mr.. Green has gone in
search of his treasure the location OF his
mine is in latitude So deg. north, longitude
la deg. west, which is over 1000 miles
northwest of Sitka.
Mr. Green first got possession of his
mine in ISL and has since spent about
800. 600 in developing il. The mine itself
is as unique as its location. being solid
metal" The ore is gaiena. IS per cent. OF
lead, carrying 143 ounces OF silver to the
ton and very little gold
Mr.. Green generally spends his winters
in California, charering ship every
spring to carry's his years supply of
stores and the miners he takes up with
him to his northern Colorado. He paws
his men SIS month and board. but thew

brought down to San Francisco aud sold.
They are then paid of and receive from
$500 10 81, 30 apiece, which comes TO them
in q lump, Tor on Goloynin bay there are
no stores. no saloons and no opportunity
for them to spend money If they wished 70.
The natives, the Esuuimaux. are
peaceabIe, Intelligent people. and are very
quick 10 learn the ways and customs OF
the Americans. Mr.. Green employs them
in work about the mines. aud finds them
to be active and willing workers.
The climate is not so severe as one
would suppose il would be in such q north
ern latitude. the summer being warm and
pleasant and the winters not 50 cold as ia
some ATTITUDES further south. Ii Is the
land OF the midnight sun, and the wonders
OF the aurora borealis are seen in all their
splendor.
There are no white people there except
the miners that are taken up each year.
but Mr.. Green says that one doesn't have
a chance to get lonesome, as there are fish
in the streams to catch, birds in the air
to shoot and four-footed animals of the
earth To kill.
Mr.. Green is a great enthusiast over the
resources ana coming destiny of the great
northern empire of Alaska, and says that
few people have an idea of its marvellous
wealth and the extent of its resources

the population is fully 1000 the

From what learned / am satisfied that
much the larger part of thIs number rep
resents the white people. l was informed
by man of prominence there that a
white man from the United States could
register without forswearing his allegiance

was brought ON by refusing 20 allow the
Japanese TO register. They think that
they have the same rights as white men,
and objected strenuously to being shut OF

few IN numbers, however. and can do
nothing more than protest. Honolulu

Connecting Pacific and Arctic Oceans.


The committee of the Siberian railroad,
presided over by Car Nicolas, has made
an appropriation for a survey for q new
railway from Perm to Kotlas, which is,
however, located in European Russia, but
will soon be connected with the Great ST.
berian railway system. The survey for
this line is under the control of a commits

THE PRICE OF BREAD.
Material in . Pound Costs Two Cents =
Loaxea should Be Cheaper.


In view of the demand for cheaper
bread begun at a number of cities the
agricultural department has given out 3
bulletin on the "cost of bread. taken from
the forthcoming report OF Prot. w. o.
Atwater on the nutrit!ye value of foods.
1t says:
"In practice 100 pounds of -four viii
make from lSS TO lS7 pounds OF bread, an
average being about 1S5 pounds. Flour,
such as is used by bakers, is now pur-
chased in the Eastern states at not over 81
per barrel. This would make the cost of
flour in pound OF bread about IL cents
Allowing half cent for the shortening
and salt, which is certainly very liberal.
the materials for pound of bread would
cost not more than cents. OF course
there should be added to this the cost of
labor, rent, interest on investment expense
of selling, etc., to make the actual cost 10
the baker.
Every few accurate weighings and
analyses of bakers bread have been made
in this country, so far as l am aware; but
the above statements represent the facts
as nearly as | have been able TO obtain
them. The average weight of a numb Der of
specimens of l0c loaves purchased in Mid
dletown, Conn.,. was but one nd one-four'h
pounds. This makes the ptice 10 the con-
sumner sc per pound. The price of bread
and the size OF the loaf are practically the
same now as when -four was twice rs
much.
1.-The cost OF bakers bread is a compare
lively small matter to the person who
buys only a loaf now and then. but in the
Eastern states and in the larger towns
throughout the country many people, and
especially those with moderate incomes
and the poor, buv their bread of the baker.
Six cents q pound. or even half that
amount for the manufacturer and distribu-
ton, seems n very large amount
I'm The large cities competitor has made
bread much cheaper, but even there the
difference between the cost of bread TO the
well-to-do family, who bake it themselves.
and to the family of the poor man. who
buy il of the baker, in unfortunately large.
THE report also goes into the chemistry
and scientific features of breadmaking.
The nutrients in bakers bread are: Pro-
TEN per cent, fats = per cent, carbo-
hydrates % per cent, mineral matter per
cent; total, SIS per cent. nutrients and 81
per cent. water. In wheat -four the total
nutrients are SO per cent and water IL per
cent, sh owing that the nutrients are
large reduced by baking. The potential
energy IN pound of -four is 1900 per
cent, in a pound OF bakers bread 1900
per cent. With the increase IN the proper
ton of water in the bread as compared
with the -four the proportionatenutrient 10
and salts brings up the fat and minerals in
the bread, so that the proportions are
larger than in the -four"

The recommendation Contained in the
report for 1898, that the vicious system of
pr0miscnous free distribution of its de-
partmen9al documents be abandoned is
again urged. These publications may
well he furnished without cost to public
libraries, educational institutions, and the
officers and libraries OF states and OF the
federal government. But from all indi-
vidual applying for them q price covering
the cost of the document asked for should
be required.
The secretary also again recommends
the gratuitous distribution of seeds, and
that no money be appropriated for that
purpose except to experiment stations.

are constantly more apparent Recent ex-
tensions have been made in classified lists

NEEDS AMENDING.

# Not Satisfactory.

Tariff Act Passed by he Last Congress
Not Satisfactory.
The tariff act passed at the last session
OF congress needs important amendments
IL 1t is to be executed effectively and with
certainty. In addition to such necessary
amendments as will change rates of duty,
/ am still very decidedly in favor of put
ting coal and iron upon the free list.
So far as the sugar SCHEDULED is concerned
Iwould be glad under existing aggrava-
tons to see every particle of differential
duty in.favor of refined sugar stricken out
OF ON tariff law. If with all the favor
now accorded the sugar refining interest
IN our tariff laws it still languishes to the
extent of closing refneries and thousands
of discharged workmen it would seem to
present o hopeless case for reasonable leg
islative aid.
Favors Free american Registry.
The ancient provision of our law deny
ing American registry to ships built
abroad and owned by Americans appears,
in the light of present conditions, not
only to be a failure for good at every port.
but to be nearer a relic of barbarism than
anything that exists under the permission
of a statute of the United States. I
earnestly recommend its prompt repeal.
