The silk was the product of white mul

MOUNTAINS OF GOLD ORE.
An Alaskan Ell Dorado That 0vershad-
ows KIondike.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 1o.-What are de.
scribed as mountains of rich gold and cop
per ores have been discovered on Ora
vina, Annette and Revinagigedo islands.
Soils Cohen, who has returned to Wran-
gel with party of prospectors, says Of
these islands:
Certain it is that fortunes beyond the
widest dreams of avarice await their prac-
tical and intelligent development. 1t
seems extravagant to speak of mountains
of ore, but that is exactly what character
ICES these islands, and also Prince of Wales
island. Hundreds of thousands of tons of
ore, practically ready for the smelter, may
be shipped without putting pick beneath
the ground.
"Ledges extend from the beach to the
base of the mountains near the center of
the islands, following the indentations of
the ground and being from ten to fifty
feet wide. These ledges at times rise in
fantastic shapes like ruins of ancient cas-
ties, and all carry precious metals. Strip
| them anywhere, blow them open with
powder, and the metal which they con-
ceal is laid open. We opened several
ledges in this manner and the fine gold was
plainly visible in the white quartz. This
is above the surface, all indications being
that still richer finds are beneath the sur
face.
son Gravina the ore is principally cop
per, showing up well in free gold. On
Rivillagigedo island, especially above
Georges inlet and Helen bay, very rich
free milling ledges have been treated.
Otherwise these mammoth deposits are
all unclaimed" Cohen's description has
caused much excitement at Wrangel and
Juneau, and many locations will be made
within few weeks. The ledges are COM
paratively easy of access.
All of these islands have land-locked
deep-water harbors with ideal mill sites
and water falls to furnish power for stamp
mills.

Sugar Beets In Virginia.

Washington, D. c., Jan. Especial.
Judge ]. B. Sener and Mr.. o. E. Hine,
of the State Board of Agriculture, called
on Secretary Wilson to-day and invited
him to attend the beet sugar convention
to be held at Fredicksburg on the 21st in
stant
He said he would like to accept the in
vitation, but could not give definite
answer at this time. In the event that
he could not attend he would send as his
representative Mr.. G. A. Saylor, the beet
sugar expert of the Department of Agri-
culture.
The secretary gave it as his opinion that
the sugar beet industry could be made q
success in Virginia. He said Virginia
capitalists and farmers could not do bet
ter than turn their attention to beets.
