United States Governments Biologists Have
Traced the Alaska Belt That Distance.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The geolog-
ical survey is about to publish huge
volume of exhaustive information on
the subject of the Alaskan gold fields.
A few months ago an expedition, head
ed by J, E. Spur, returned from the
Yukon with an astonishing collection
Of newly-gained facts respecting the
resources of that region. The book
will state that there is room enough
for vast army of miners ia the fresh
undiscovered fields, the gulches and
creeks which have shown good pros
poets being spread over an area
OF more than ZOO square miles. The
purpose ofGeologist Spurs expedition
was TO find the source from which the
gold of the Yukon plaeers was derived.
This problem was absolutely solved by
the discovery of a gigantic belt of
auriferous rocks at least 500 miles
long and from so to 100 miles in width.
The belt in question passes from Brit
ish territory into American in the
neighborhood Of Forty-Mile creek.
Specks of bright gold are seen oees-
sionally on the surface of rocks,
but the bulk of the precious metal
is disguised in the form of sulphides
and in combination with iron
pyrite. Immense bodies Of ore are in
sight of unknown thickness. The au-
thorities Of the geological survey be
lieve that the Alaskan gold deposits
are destined to rival in produetiveness
those of South Africa. Naturally, the
miners have struck first for the gravel
deposits, because they are on the sur
face and easily accessible. Alta future
day, provided with proper machinery
and the necessary capital, they will
attack the virgin rocks from which
the metal of the gra7els is derived, and
then the Yukon valley will become in
all probability the greatest gold.

Verses from the Koran and other
passages considered sacred are general
" stamped on fabrics used as prayer
rugs by the Mohammedans, and it is
criminal in oriental law to export such
pieces. This is doubtless because use
by the occidentals means the ueading
of sacred words under infdel feet, and
when you think it over, il Is not to be
wondered at. A fewyears ago an Amer
lean succeeded in getting two such
pieces as near home as Paris, but the
inducements offered him to return them

enough to effect their purpose.
