A MINERS OPINION
Three Great Mineral Belts Along the Peninsula Which Extend From Topkuk to the Right Fork of the BlueStOne-TwOB Big Assays.

"There is one of the greatest quartz belts in this section that the world has ever seen, and it will be developed within the next three or four years.
 This is the statement made bN D. C. Lilies, who for the past year has done nothing but prospect for quartz leads ill the peninsula. Mr. Lilies is a thorough quartz man. He has mined for years in Colorado, Montana. Idaho and Utah, and when it comes to piece of quartz he is pretty wise himself.
 "I never made a dollar in my life by placer mining" he says. "Give me quartz, and l think know quartz country when I see it. That's why l say that this in d quartz country. l don't care what experts may say and he laid heavy emphasis on the "eXpert,. : Mr. Lilies is the owner of the Prudie mine at Topkuk, which is now under bond to the x. A. T. & T. Company. He doesn't say much about that par ticular mine. further than that it is a good one, and that Topkuk will be pro- ducing ore for score of years after it's placer mines are forgotton.
 "There's a hill at the head of Daniels crcck,' he said. "Where there is million dollars worth of ore. There are three quartz belts running through the peninsula to the right fork of the Bluestone. have traced the ore for 15O miles by outcroppings. The ore bodies are covered to depth of 10 O. F feet, the surface having been ground down to that depth during the glacial period. That they are thus covered does not make me stop. Where is there d country in the world that you can get the same assays from rock that you can here ?" asked Mr. Lilies in q confident manner Then he exhibited two assay certificates of quartz. one sample having been found in the Nor ton bay country, the other in the Saw tooth range. The first assayed $l7.57 to the ton: the second. $l2.40. The assays were made on Tuesday last by R. E. TrengOve, assayer for the Bank of Cape Nome.
 The Norton sound vein has two good walls, with six feet of ore. The Saw tooth lead is between a schist and a shale, with trachite. with two walls in sight. The schist wall is broken, but the other is intact.
 "'This is a wonderful country.' con- tinued Mr. Lilies. "People get fooled. They walk over the country and pick up float and say it is only lime crop pings. Let them burn it and see. The croppings are silica and cinnabar. Top kuk is filled with it.
 "Archie Mitchell gave thousand dollars to the Lucky Swede' for what the boys call 'The Bloody Hole at Top kuk. It was so called because it is red. It is decompOsed cinnabar and Mitchell has good thing"

John A. Moore whose death was an
nounced yesterday had served this
Territory as a school teacher since the
year 1881. 1t was an honorable service
and he had done great good to many
young men and young women who now
occupy positions of trust and emolu-
ment which they would not now occupy
but for Mr.. Moores teaching. Mr..
Moore was a Southerner an ALBANIAN
and served through the Civil War,
reaching the rank of major, After
the war he went to San Francisco and
there occupied positions as vice princi-
pal. and principal of some of the i'm
portant schools of the growing city.
Political influence in school matters,
however, made him come to the Islands
where he knew that worth and not poll
tics gave man position. Mr.. Moore
first took position at the Lihue school,
Kauai. Then he was transferred to
Waikiki, Maui. He was principal of
Lahaipaluna for some years, and then
returned to Wailuku. He was also
Normal Instructor for a year. At the
latter end of last year, he resigned his
position in Waikiki, his age not war
ranting his continuing in service any
longer. Practically, however, John A
Moore died in harness. Those who
knew Mr.. Moore, knew man of great
kindness of heart, of genial tempera-
ment and whole souled friendship. He
had not been very prominent in oul
body polite, but in a quiet, unobtrusv'
way he served the state and perhaps
did far more good than more noisy ant
obtrusive people, There are many wht
can thank John A. Moore not only FOL
their educational advantages but fOl
countless acts of kindness done out o
J a genial heart. . aug

INFORMATION.

County Government, which is if pro-
perly laid out, really a good thing, and
could be made an economical thing, is
not going to be so if the Home Rulers
bill passes. The Home Rule bill very
ostentatiously provides for the neces-
sity of the Home Rulers. The question
of salary for certain offices is not left
to the tender mercies of the voters
and Taxpayers of the counties, but is
prescribed by the law. The voters and
Taxpayers shall have the privilege OF
electing. but they will have no say in
the matter of emoluments.
Under the act creating county gov
eminent there will be five counties In

According to reports from Nome,

The Indians have again canped ca

they could lay in supplies Of fsh for use
during the long winter perica. Unless
they are assisted by the government It
is said suffering and starvation will

Kotzebue in 1898 and have been there
ever since. They report that during
three years they failed to find more
than few coiors of gold.
The Nome banks have given out an
estimate OF the output OF gold for that
district for the season. They place the
amount at $1,000, 900, which is only
$500, 900 more than last year.

Restoring the Polish.

Says a housekeeper: "My piano,
which had been covered with q cambric
cover, was loaded with dust that had
sifted through the sleazy cloth. The
dust was too thick to be wiped off. II
should have been blown and lightly
whisked off first, but this my maid did
not Go, and in consequence the CRIME
was wiped in for all I know with a
damp cloth. At all events the highly
polished surface was clouded over al
most to gray, and I was in despair
until friend suggested remedy. She
advised me to wiring as dry as I could

of water and rub the piano until the
chamois was bone dry. This I have
done and completely restored the pol

New YORK, Sept. 2S.-Rome from,
Scotland after spending the summer as
the guest of Andrew Carnegie at Skibo
castle, the Rev. D. S. Mackay, pastor OF
the Fifth Avenue Collegiate church, IN
an interview, told of the development
of Mr.. Carnegie's phllanthropic plans,
of his intention to return to the United
States in November and Mrs. Carnegie s
cooperation with her husband ID dis
pensing the great Carnegie fortune.
Mr.. Mackay said:
"Mr. Carnegie is very busy man.
His latest benefaction was to provide
the churches Of Scotland with organs.
So far his secretary told me there had
been provisions for $50 organs, costing
from 81, 800 to $4,000. so that nearly
100000 must have been expended IN
this way. Mrs. Carnegie is fond OF
music, and although his munlfcence
threatens the popularity Of the bagpipe,
! believe the organs will do much to
soften the austerity OF the church SER
vice.
"Mrs. Carnegie has entered heart and
soul into her husbands plans. Mr.. and
Mrs. Carnegie and their daughter Mar
psret will return to New York on the
Steamship St. Louis early in Novemb Der.
Their New York home will not be ready
for occupancy by that time, but they
have decided to come, anyway, and
there will be no change in their plans.
"Mr. Carnegie's only reference to
business matters while 7 was with him
related to the strike of the steelwor kers.
He said he could have prevented the
strike if he had been in Pittsburg to
confer with the men.

NEW YORK, Sept. 28,-Concerning the

"What war; the South African? Why

teenth. We fixed the date"
That cartoon, with characteristic poses
of both men, expresses grimly the pub
lie impatience over what is now gen
orally regarded as q silly farce in at
tempting to end hostilitIes by proclama-
tion. MI. Chamberlain has always been
credited with she authorship Of the
proclamation, and his enemies, Tory
and Radical alike, do not spare him.
Equally effective structures are found ID

oe Generals Butler, Wood and the Duke
of Conneaught as commanders of the
first three army corps under the scheme
Of reorganization.

UUr,os.,;es or ,ae Cacao Tree.

CCrlOS:Iie5 OF the C9cao Tree.
The cultivation Of cacao, says writer
in The Scientific American, is an invit-
ing agricultural pursuit in Trinidad
and parts of Venezuela. The cacao tree
cannot withstand strong sunshine, and
the young plants have to be shaded by
banana or plantain trees and later,
when they attain their growth, by tall
trees known as ''immortelles." or the
mother Of the cacao." These make q
kind of canopy over the entire planta-
ton. The fruit Of the cacao tree is pod
resembling a cucumber and growing on
the trunk or large branches, where it
'looks as though it were artifcially at
tached." The seeds are like large, thick
lima beans imbedded in pulp. These
form the cacao beans Of commerce. The
processes of curing and drying require
much attention.
