MAY SETTLE BOUNDARY.
Mining Expert Processes to Have
Secret to the Dispute.

Mining Expert Processes to Have
Secret to the Dispute.
San Francisco, Aug. 2.-John Zachert,
a mining expert, residing at 65S Grove
street, in this city, processes to have in
formation which he believes will have
an important bearing on the Alaskan
boundary dispute.
Zachert declares that the old Russian
boundary is defined by monuments
placed at short intervals, and that In
closed In each is a chart of the Russian
possessions. He is of the belief that
duplicates of the charts are on file at
ST. Petersburg.
Zachert says that an expedition would
have little trouble in finding and fol-
lowing up this boundary line of monu-
mentS, and that the charts would prove
of inestimable value in settling the dis
pute between this country and Canada.
Seventeen years ago, while prospect
ling in the, southern part of Alaska
said Mr.. Zachert, Il happened to camp
in an unfrequented place, where, to my
establishment, L found a worn-out Rus
sian inscription carved on a rock. Being
familiar with the Russian language |
learned from the inscription that in
1888 a Russian typographical expedition
had camped there. A few hundred feet
from that rock the Indians showed me
monument, and told me that the Rus
slams built it.
Thinking that some valuable docu-
mentS We're buried under it, was about
to dig them out, but the Indians pre-
vented this. They thought that the
monument might cover a grave, and
their superstition would not permit
them to delye into mans last resting
place.
After came back to Sitka / inyesti-
gated among the Russians the value OF
my discovery and found that the spot
at which had stopped was the line of
ldemarkation of the Russian posses
sions, and that the monument marked
the place where documents defining
that demarcation We're buried. l tried
to induce Governor Morris, the collector
of the Alaskan customs, to investigate,
but in those days 1t was not worth the
trouble to bother about the Alaskan
boundary. No action was ever taken.
II believe thar if an expedition were
lsent to the north 1t could without great
| trouble find this line of demarcation.
The point at which I made my discov-
| cry was about thirty miles southwest
from Juneau. 1 have learned through
the authority of Tichmanoff, who pub
lished two volumes constituting govern
ment reports on Alaska, that the Rus
sian government ordered several cop
per plates made to inclose the docu-
ments describing the boundary in ac-
cordance with the treaty of 1926 and
/ that it was the intention to bury these
plates at intervals along the boundary,
Petersburg. Probably twenty such rec
ords are buried in the southwestern
part Of Alaska.

REMEDIES FOR FLIES.
Farmers Voice


Now is the time when the dairyman
and feeder feels the effect of the losses
incurred from the attacks of flies. The
loss arising from this source never has
been estimated. and he would be bold
man who would undertake to compute
1t.
An Illinois feeder claims to drive
away flies by using the following as a
remedy He takes whale oil and into
each quart of the oil puts small table,
spoonful Of carbolic acid, mixing 1t
thoroughly. This mixture he sprinkles
over the backs and shoulders Of his
cattle, using an old broom for this pur-
pose. A very little Of this will drive
away the flies for two or three weeks.
During wet weather. of course. this
mixture would be washed of to some
extent. Whale oil Is very offensive to
flies and the addition Of carbolic acid
would add to this quality.

New York, Aug obligation extend

has been brought to a conclusion by a
decision rendered by Judge TOWNSEND
in the United States Circuit court on
Monday in favor of the International
Tooth Crown Company as against
James Orr Kyle, a dentist.
The decision, which affects almost all
of the dentists in the United tSates,
confirms the validity of patents held by
the International Tooth Crown Conn
lpany, of which DR. l.. T. Sheffield is the
president, on all operations known a s
tooth crowns and bridge work. AL
though the patents expired during the
litigation, the decision confirms the
right of the complainant company to
collect royalties on all infringernents
towering the whole existence of the pat
ents.
The history of the litigation shows the
determined fight made against practice
ally the whole dental fraternity of the
country by one man, resolved to de-
Ifend what he declared Were his rights.
ION both sides nearly s1.00o,000 has been
spent in the legal struggle.
The father of the system of applying
tooth crowns was DIR. James Low, a
dentist, who performed his first opera
lions in 1877. In 1881 he took out GER
tain patents on the process. About the
same time DIR. Sheffield devoted himself
to the problem, not only of applying
Icrowns 10 individual teeth, but also tc
Iextending the principle to the insertion

establishment then became a school for
dentists who desired to become pro-
sEficient in the new art of inserting arti-
fetal teeth. Within a short time nearly

Autos to Collect Mail.

Washington, Aug. 2.-Chicago is like

Edens of Chicago, superintendent OF
rural free mail delivery for the western
division, is investigating the feasibility
of the plan for the postoffice depart

advocate of automobiles and will rec

how the people feel. Every one of the
eight delegates tn the Republican state

election. l believe hc should and will bc

unauthorized and untrue.
1T MUST BE QUAY.
Senator James Il. Mitchell. of Jeffer-
son, commenting upon the latest rumors
of the Finn Martin bureau, said:
''There will be no United States sena-
tor elected at this session unless the bolt
ers or the Democrats turn in aud vote
for the regular nominee of the caucus.
All this talk about Senator Quay with
drawing In TavOr or sOmeDouy eise IS
nonsense. He is the party nominee, made
80 by two-thirds of the Republican MEM
bers OF tho legislature. and he has no
business to withdraw unless requested to
do SO by the gentlemen who nominated
him. That they will never do, because
they are holding out upon principle
that should be sacred to every American
citizen, that of majority rule. Ii we are
10 let the minority govern u.s. what will
come of it? No, sir, the majority must
govern. That is the foundation stone of
our republican institutions. Let me bring
the case home to the boilers: For in
stance, the Legislature will adjourn on
the 10Th of April. as it agreed to- Gov
ernor Stone will not call an extra ses-
sion, and the senatorial question, if Col
onel Quay is not elected will be left to
the people to settle at the next election
for assemblymen. Now, say that two
thirds of the members elect should be
opposed to Senator Quay, and should
meet in caucus and nominate the man
upon whom they could agree, what
would you think of the other one third.
who favored Quay, if they would refuse
TO vote for the nominee, and thus defeat
the expressed will OF the Republicans OF
the state? That is what the pious boilers
are doing now in the name of reform.
That sort of thing would lead to chaos
If, at the next election. the opponents of
Senator Quay have a majority OF one
vote i'll the caucus You will find that
every one of the Republicans who favor
Quay will be for the nominee. The mem
bers and senator's who are now. and have
been, voting for the nominee of the eau
Gus, will continue to do so to the end. be-
cause they feel that to do otherwise they
would be surrendering a sacred principle,
the only safeguard of the people, the
right of the majority to govern"
