The Worlds Supply Of Gold.

Within the financial year just com
menced there will in all probability be
received at Seattle from the mines of
Alaska and Canadian Northwest terri
tories not less than 2O,oO0,OOO in gold.
This is on the athority of the Seattle
Post Intelligencer, one of whose
editors has given careful study to the
subject. This gold, according to the
Post-lntelligencer, is worth far more
to the country than the same amount
drawn hither from other countries in
settlement of trade balances simply.
1t is new supply for the worlds
needs, not merely a portion of the
present stock, shifted from one
quarter to the other. 1t is a tangible
addition to the money of the world.
Yet for some reason litl.e attention
has been paid by financial writer's to
the effect upon tie country of the
Alaska gold surply.
The stoppage of shipments of gold
from the Rand on account of the war
in South Africa was expected to have a
serious effect upon the money supply
of the world, and gold famine was
frequently predicted as one of effects
of long continuance of the war. Yet
no such results followed; in the first
place because the mines of the Rand
were not completely shut down, but
were worked by the Transvaal govern
ment for its own benefit during all the
time that Johannesburg remained in
the possession of the Beers; and in the
second place, because the new supplies
from the Yukon and Alaskan points
made up in full all the deficiencies of
the Rand. The first of these con-
ditions is well understood and often
referred to, the second has attracted
but little notice.
At the present rate of development
of the gold resources of Alaska, how.
ever, this source of supply cannot long
be overlooked. The Klondike is
already producing at least twenty
millions annually; the Cape Nome dis
trict may show still higher record
within year or so, aud recent dis.
coveries indicate that there are other
districts coming into production
which will rival both the Klondike and
Nome. So far the product of gold in
Alaska comes largely from the placer
fields. The quartz mines are in
their early stage of development.
Before the known placers are exhaust.
ed, however, their place will be more
than taken by the quartz mines; and
within the present decade Alaska will
rival the Rand and Australia, aud
materially aid in placing the United
States again aud permanently in the
first position among the gold produc-
ers of the world.-Mining Il Metallur-
gical Journal.

tons of this character of ore daily in
pushing development work and will
soon be in the market with two-car-
load shipment. 1t is more than likely
that the company will put in a smelter
or reduction works in the near future.

A Pinal County Mine.

William Lawrence came in Monday,
bringing 76 ounc es of gold (Troy
weight), representing a months clean.
up from their mines, two miles south
of Dripping springs. The gold was
shipped from Globe by express. Its
value is from l,2O0S to l,3OOS. Mr..
Lawrence and j. G. Glissen are the
owners of the mine and they have been
working it only few months. They
made several shipments of ore, but the
charges were so heavy that they decid-
ed to work it themselves and for that
purpose erected an arastra which
answers the purpose very we'll. The
mine is an old location formerly owned
by United States Marshal Griffith, who
sunk a shaft 10 feet and got some very
good ore, but the ledge was blind
lead, and was found by Lawrence and
Glissen about 30 feet from the shaft.
The gulch has been worked over
successfully several times for placer
gold, showing that the gold must have
come from ledge near by, and Law
renee and Glissen, after diligent search
discovered it. The ledge is from two
to three feet wide and carries very
rich streak which in some places is not
wider than the thickness of ones
finger, and in other places widens into
pockets. This streak assays 2O2 oun.
ces of fine gold to the ton, and the
ledge matter los to Dos The gold is in
decomposed iron. which crumbles

a noticeable gain in the popularity of
Western mining securities in the East.
With the introduction of scientific and
business methods in the conduct of

mining has been made a business as

TRUTH ABOUT THE TURKS
ARCHDEACON DANIELS TELLS OF
THEIR HORRIBLE DEEDS.

III 11ES EtOt RkRLEE DEEDS,
An interesting address was delivered
at the Church of the Good Shepherd last
evening, by Ven. Archdeacon Marcus
Dan1el of Kurdestan, Asiatfc Turkey.
Mr.. Daniel was actively engaged in
missionary work in Turkey at the time
of the late Armenian massacres, in in
the slaughter at Lake Van he was shot
IN the knee, and crippled for life He
was only saved by the intervention of a
Mahonendan, who had formerly been
a friend of his fathers
lie describes this massacre as being
blood-thirsty in the extreme In a few
days 5,1OO people were murdered, hun
dreds OF others escaped, only to die
in the mountains. Jealous hatred and the
love of plumber dove the Turks and Kurds
to the most atrocious acts
In speaking of the lawlessness that pre-
vades Turkey, Mr.. Daniel remarked:
AT least half of the Turks live by
plumber and crime. High officials of
church and state are supported chiefly
by robber bands that they have in their
employ. The Sultan's 800 wives are sus-
tanned by the booty that is gathered in
by his majestie's briganis.
Murder and plumber is commonplace.
II murderer be caught, his freedom
can be bought for nominal sum- Every
thing in Turkey is for sale.
The Mohomedans believe that there is a
God. But God can only be reached
through Mohomed. The result is that
the Turks are anxious to please Ma
homed. To kill a Christian is a sure pass
port to heaven, which is naturally bad
thing for the health of the. neighboring
Christian. To be killed by a Christian
is also an easy way to get to heaven.
Hundreds of Turks commit suicide on
MaihomedS day, because to die on that
day means immediate transportation to
the throne of glory.
Their whole religion is a display
When gathering at the market places
they pray with the apparent intention of
making noise. To be revered, the
priests resort to ridiculous measures
Their faces must not be hooked upon and
there is healing in their garments
The life of the Turkish woman is
painfully abject She is sold to a husband
by her father and from the time of her
marriage is kept in the closest surveil-
ance, not being permitted to unveil her
face in the presence of another until she
is fifty years old. In fact the only
creature that the Turk seems to respect
IS the dog. A Turk will nevr kill a dog
becaus it is one of Gods crea tures. Con-
Sequently the cities of Turkey are over
run by tramp dogs
Mr.. Daniel closed his talk with an an
pear for help in his work He is a rare
man, an Assyrian by birth, and highly
educated in Persia, Russia and London
He has translated the Bible into the
Kurdish language.
