A new method of domestic refrigera-
ton was shown at the recent interna-
tional export exposition held in Phila-
delphia. Instead of delivering blocks of
ice to put into the home refrigerators, a
sheet iron tank filled with frozen dis
is slipped into the refrigerator. The
water in the tank is completely frozen
when delivered, of course, and as it
melts much more slowly the consumers
expense is not so great. And then,
too, the ice water made by the melting
ice is held in the tank and assists in
keeping things cool.

ANACONDA NEWS.
PLACE FOR A RICH MAN
A Poor Prospector Stands No
Show in Klondiks.
so SAYS DAN CARMICHAEL
Times Are Hard in the Land OF Gold
Rich Strikes Are Few and Far Be-
tween-Reports OF Richness OF
the Country Exaggerated.

"Klondike is a good place for q man
with lot Of money. but If a man has
no money and wants to work for
wages, my advice to him is: Stay
home"
This is the way in which Dan j.
Carmichael, who returned on Sunday
evening from Klondike, sums up the
situation there.
Mr.. Carmichael left Anaconda IS
months ago for the land Of gold. He
left here with little money and ,e-
turned with only few nuggets, but
much wiser than when he left.
The returned Klondiker is well
known in this city. He has resided
here for IL years and at the time of
his departure was employed in the
electrical department of the A. C. NJ
company.
Il am far from being elated over
my trip said Mr.. Carmichael to a
Standard reporter last evening at the
Beaudry block. II worked all the time
! was there, but then when you expect
to make fortune and you don't even
make few dollars, you are naturally
disappointed. I went there a year and
a half ago. l travelled over the Chill
coot pass and found it very good. I
returned by the Yukon river to st.
Michaels and thence to Seattle.
There are some people who went to
the Klondike and made some money
but the large majority went there and
have gone broke. 1t is my opinion
that there is not very much gold in
the klondike. Reports are sent out
about big strikes, but they are only
imaginable, for big strikes were scarce
"Klondike gold runs close to $19 an
nunce. Some people may think that
this Is a. heap of money, but then the
cost of things out there must be con-
sidered All liquors sell at % cents a
drink; meals from 81 to SO; lodging 81
night and miners nailed shoes 81 to
$40 a pair, The wages are only 81 an
hour for eight or 10 hours work day.
The Montanans are very numerous
in Dawson There are many men from
Butte and they are all doing fairly
we'll Anaconda people are all pretty
well fixed. w. S. Shaw, the ex-county
attorney, is in the brokerage and no.
tary business. Peter Wise, Charles
Cunningham and wife, Nose Dezell.
Charles Smith, Rod Mckenzie and Joe
Pagan are there.
Il returned on the Roanoke and
there was lot of gold on board There
IS absolutely no danger for people with
money to travel on these steamers, for
their money is safe. The Canadian
Bank of Commerce of Montreal had a
ton of gold dust on board the Roam
ole. 1t had been placed in the cap
tain's cabin and was guarded by spe-
cial officers. In Seattle ] was told that
there was $3,0C0,000 worth of gold dust
on the Roanoke. but / don't believe
this. l think that there was less than
that"
Mr.. Carmichael will remain in Ana
conda for some time, but expects to
return to Klondike.

A BANKER ON MORMON|SM
Says 1t Is Spreading From Utah
Into Montana and Other States.
HAS GOOD H0L0ON MEXICO
Mormon Church Is q Wonderfully Sys-
tematizsd Organization" Says w. 8.
Mccormick OF Salt Lake-Thinks
Roberts Will Be Seated.

According to W. 8. Mccormick. a
monism is spreading in Montana. Mr..
Mccormick was in Seattle few days
ago and during his stay in that city
he spoke freely on Mormonism, and
announced that he believed that Nor
monism was spreading very rapidly.
The Seattle Post -Intelligencer prints
the following about Mr.. Mccormick
arrival in that city:
wv. s. Mccormick, millionaire
banker of Salt Lake, has been in Seat
tie for several days 1t is his first
visit to the Northwest. I shall see
Seattle oftener in the future Mr.. Nc
Cormick said yesterday, for l regard
it as wonderful place, and much
more of a big city than l had expected
to find it,
His long residence in the Mormon
capital has given Mr.. Mccormick ex-
ceptional opportunities for observing
that people and the workings of their
peculiar religion. He talked interest
ingly of both during an interview with
a Post-Intelligencer reporter. The
Roberts incident he said revived the
Mormon agitation, and it is being kept
up with more or less vigor. AS for
Roberts himself, he Is a bright fellow,
and aside from his peculiar religion, a
good man. However, since his election
to congress one of his plural wives
has given birth to twins.
Do 1 think Roberts will take his
seat as congressman? Well yes.
don't see hardly how it is to be pre-
vented. 1t will be commended that If he
committed any offense it is for Utah
to take notice Of and not congress-
do you think Mormonism is spread
ing?"
Yes They have more missionaries
in the field than ever. They are be-
ginning to spread out into adjoining
states and territories, having already q
foothold in Idaho, Montana, Colorado
and Arizona. They have a good start
in Mexico and all along seem to be
not only holding their own, but are
on the increase.
The Mormons have a strong organ
ization and it is splendidly system
atized. In fact, it Is wonderful in it's
workings.
But the church is heavily in debt.
Its members recently f1oated $1,000 900
in bonds. Practically all of these were
taken in Salt Lake. though / believe
a few lots We're fioated in the East.
aside from their religion the Nor
mons make splendid citizens. They
are Industrious and law-abiding. In
the matter of honesty and integrity
they rate high, and practically all Of
them pay their debts.
Since the late President Wood
rufus so-called manifesto. issued about
three years ago, the Mormons have
not openly, at least in Utah, INDUCED
in plural marriages. They appear to
be living up to the manifesto, and the
new president, Lorenzo Snow, SO far
as I can see, is supporting it.. And
Snow, by the way l regard as a very
good man."
