Hon. C. w. d. Clifford is satisfied
with the Atlin ountry as a mining dis
trict, but he asys it is not a great pro.
Queer. He thinks valuable quatrz will
soon be discovered, but pronounces the
country on the whole no poor-man
camp. He says further to the Alaskan:
From what can learn of the banks
of Atlin the output in placer this year
will be from $3.50, 900 to 81, 1000, 600.
THE Anaconda group of quartz
claims, purchased not long ago by Lord
Hamilton, are being developed by a
small crew. A day and night shift is
at work, and already the men have
tunneled 80 to 40 feet and the prospects
get better the farther they go.
1.-The alien exclusion law discouraged
the investment of capital in Atlin this
year, but look for hydraulics to take
the lead in the development of the
placers. The exclusion law has proved a
boomerang. / have been opposed to it
and shall stand for its repeal"
Todd Lees, en- route from Atlin to
Vancouver, says that he has reliable
information that up till October Is,
royalty paid on the Atlin placer out
put for the season amounted to $410,-
900, and it was estimated in official
circles that the output will be more
than a million.
General mining along the creeks will
continue three weeks more, says Mr.
Lees, and after that drifting will he
1nna m nf tho
creeks through the winter. He esti-
mates 500 people will remain in the
Atlin country this winter.

The Swedes are probably the tallest
people in Europe, and have, ON the
whole, erect, handsome figures. To
some extent this advantage is due to
physical exercise, for Ling's Swedish
gymnastics are compulsory in the ele.

other schools and colleges.

A Modern Instance.

The wonderful advance made in the
science of farming during the last few
years is one of the best examples of
American progressiveness. A little in
cident recounted by the Ashtabula
(Ohio) Sentinel is characteristic. One
evening, short time ago, a society in
jefferson needed a gallon of cream
The committee called up by telephone
the proprietors of a milk farm two
miles north of the town, and asked if
they could furnish it. The reply was
that they could as soon as milking was
done. In 80 minutes from the time the
call was made, the cream was deliv-
cred. The milk had been drawn from
the cow, put into a separator, the
cream extracted and sent to town by
man on a bicycle. A few years ago
the committee would have had to send
. a boy in the afternoon. yesterdays
milk" would have had to be SKINNED,
and if the boy had not freed too many
chipmuncks on the way, he might
have got back in time for the festival
When Nineveh and Babylon were in
the splendor of their might men in
China We're predicting eclipses making
catalogues and giving names to the
stars. But Nineveh and Babylon were
mere mounds of earth and rubbish
when China was great, and to this date
the civilization and life of the empire
is the wonder OF the world.
Home demand absorbs almost all the
street cars our builders can turn out,
SO that the export trade in this line has
been temporarily abandoned. One or
two export houses in New York, how
ever have been doing a lively bushes
in second hand horse cars, large num-
Der going to Mexico.

CANAL BETWEEN THE OCEANS
HEPBURN's NICARAGUA BILL WILL
BE REIxTRODuCED.
ERort VIII BE made t. Secure Its
Early Constderatien and Passage.
Gen. Henderson, said to Favor IT.
Government Control Of Canal.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Inte!ligencer.
WASHINGTON, Nov. E--One OF the
first measures OF importance introduced In
congress will be the Nicaragua canal bill.
Friends of the waterway intend 20 disre-
gard entirely the rev commission appoint
Ell under the provision OF the law enacted
in the closing hours OF the last session.
This bill Will be identical with that intro
duced By Mr.. Hepburn liz the last congress,
which appropriated t115ooo.ooe. available IN
sums Of so. D0o.ooo year. to be secured by
bond issue, and provided that the canal
should be constructed by the United States
government. instead OF by private enter
prise.
The Hepburn bill also contained a pro-
vision to the effect that the United states
should exercise absolute sovereignty over
the zone of land which this government
was empowered to secure by purchase or
treaty This feature OF Mr.. Hepburn's bill
was subject to criticism from friends Of
the canal themselves, for the reason that.
in the constitution of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica II Is provided that neither govern
ment may ALLEVIATE territory.
Discussing the question of canal legisia-
ton tonight Representative Barham, OF
California, said an effort would be made
10 amend this feature OF the Hepburn bill.
1t Is Mr.. Hepburns belief that practically
the same object can be accomplished by
mere change of words. by which the United
States shall be clothed with absolute con-
troll OF the canal ard the privilege OF forti-
flying the waterway in time OF war, While
at the same time the constitutional inhioi-
tion OF Nicaragua and Costa Rica Will not
be violated.
Mr.. Hepburn undoubtedly viii be re-
appointed chairman OF the Interstate and
foreign commerce committee. which will
have charge CT the bin. and Mr.. Barham.
1t Is equally probable, will be chairman
of the subcommittee TO which the bill viii
be referred.
The canal bill will be introduced early
fn the session.. said Mr.. Barhani. and
from the standing committee will go at
once to the subcommittee. II viii be re-
ported back to the full committee for con-
sideration a once and an effort Will be
made 10 incorporate my amendment. Then
the standing committee will endeayor to
secure an early consideration from the
house Speaker Henderson is favorable to
the canal legislation and. / am confident.
will be able this year to enact law under
which the government will be empowered
10 construct the waterway"

NEW WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
Another system Which Apparently
Surpasses That of MarcOni.

CHICAGO, Nov. N.-Prof. w. S, John
son and c. l.. Fortier. OF Milwaukee, to-
day made successful test in this city of
the wireless teiegraphy. They succeeded
In telegrap itlng without wires through d
suite OF seven rooms with all doors clos
ed and through seven walls
Another test was made when the sig
nails were conveyed through three fire.
proof vaults and an ordinary telegraph
switchboard in which the wires were con-
nected up. and about forty dead wires
were located
Notwithstanding the fact that this
switchboard contained live wires, the
current passed through all OF the vaults
and through this board This Is one of the
most severe tests that had ever been CIV
en- wireless telegraphy. f. eg
A third test was made in which the
sending instrument was placed inside of
one OF the steel vaults and both doors
were closed and the combination lock
turned The signals were then transmit
ted clearly from the vault to an adjoining
room.
The professor claims that his invention
is materially different from that of Mar
conf and that instruments can be con-
ssructed to be carried on horseback and
he ready for operation within a few
moments after they have reached Their
destination.
The sending instrument used today was
intended only for short distances. The
receiving instrument. however. was COM
plete and ready for use at any distance.
