prince of Wales island will doubt
less prove one of the richest copper
and quartz districts in .ne world.
The country is rugged and mountain
GUS and as yet has been little explor-
ed, he said:
NO great development work has
yet been done on our claims, but we
have found ore that runs as high as
80 per cent copper. This would give
over 800 to the ton. No placer mines
have been found that were extensive
and it is thought that nose which
have been discovere. are simply what
had washed from the quartz crags in
the vicinity.
vents extensive development and no
one is able to go beyond few miles
into the interior. Parties of prospec-
tors are pushing farther in all the
time, though, and it is expected that
the full resources of the island will
be known before many years.
Some time since party of natives
were encamped at Kassan and were
asked about the interior country. Re-
ports had spread that a rich lead Of
native copper had been found. Little
faith was put in the reports at the
time, but when another band came
along with the same report, investi-
cations were begun. It was found
that Indians who had been farther in
land were returning with copper
dishes and trinkets. None of them,
however, had made the copper plate
themselves, and had gotten possession
of them by trading with other tribes.
it is barely possible that the natives
may have found lead of pure cop
per, and if they have it will be worth
millions. Prospectors now on the
island are intending to follow up the
affair and if possible find where the
dishes were made.
"The reason for my coming out is
that we had to have some mining and
sawmill machinery and 1 intend to go
home and bring my family to Kassan
to live. It is a very good residence
place and there. is never any extreme
cold. During last winter the lowest
point that the thermometer touched
was 10 above. Usually it is never
colder than 10 above"

Strange that he should exchange that

A SHAMEFUL MIsDEMEANOR.

In sentencing Ollie Sworden, the
hapless youth who broke quarantine
and escaped the vigilance of the Off
GERS for a short period, Judge Smith
very properly dwelt upon the gravity
of the offense. He said that the rules
and regulations of the health officers
should be most implicitly obeyed, and
every assistance lent them by all good
citizens. Guarantees are necessary
for the public safety, and that is a
law above all others. BY concealing
the existence of a contagious disease
and subjecting innocent people to the
danger of contamination as much harm
may result as from rashly breaking
the quarantine. But that would he
ignorance. This prisoner knew that
he was in detention as a protection to
his fellow men, and while he may
not have enjoyed being cooped up ne
was suffering no bodily aggravation.
When he escaped from his custodians
and mingled promiscuously with the
inhabitants of the country, in full
knowledge of the fact that he might
transmit loathsome disease, he was
guilty OF a crime both heinous and
malevolent and the punishment pro-
vided by the statutes was not too
severe.

A ROSY VIEW.
Senator Power Believes Wool Market
il lmnrovinu.

Senator Power Believes Wool Market
is Improving.
Ex-senator T. C. Power, president
of the Montana Woolgrowers associa-
ton takes rosy view of the wool
market and believes that present in
dications portend well for future good
prices. He believes that market
gives promise of stability, and with a
good quality fwool, sheepmen will
receive a good price for their product.
Week before last he spent several
days in Boston, where he had ample
opportunity to observe of conditions,
and his views on the question will be
interesting to all sheepmen in the
state.
II believe that conditions are such
that sheepmen can feel very much en-
couraged over the outlook" he said
today. 1.-The foreign product is 60
ing up with the improved industrial
conditions, wool cannot but receive a
little Of the impetus which is given
trading in other commodities.
There has, believe, never been
a time when there has been a more
notable activity in all lines of indus
try. The large mills of the country
are rushing with orders, and every
line of manufacturing has been stim-
ulated during the last few months by
an enlarged market.
wool cannot help receive some
benefit from this great commercial &C.
tivity, and Influenced by the further
fact that there has been strong mar
ket l think that if we have as good,
wool this year as in the past we will
get good prices. Warm winters do not
result in the best wool. The same
applies to fur bearing animals. But
with all things equal-that is, good
average product-wool growers will
have but little cause to complain of
the market.
'The element OF speculation has
largely gone out of the market and as
a result we have more healthy mar
ket, free from any undue influence
except the law of demand and sup
ply.
Montana wool growers will have
as large a clip this year as during pre-
vious years, in fact there are more
sheep and the crop if anything will
be appreciably larger. The more
sheep, of necessity, the greater the
product of the staple.
The growing demand for wool
brought about by an increased con-
sumption is the most potent influence
in the wool market. This demand
has been large, the foreign product
has ranged high. Our wool will of ne
cessity command a good place in the
market.
Wool may not bring quite as much
this year, but there is a good demand,
and that is what we want. The situa.
ton looks favorable.
"Of course what we receive for our
fleece depends upon its quality.
believe, however, that this years clip
will be a good one.
THE lamb crop this year all de.
ponds upon the weather during the
month of May. We can expect large
increase in the fiocks unless there is
some unforeseen change in the wealth
er. In fact this years increase is
quite likely to be record breaker
because of the particular favorable
weather conditions and the number of
sheep in the state"

Elects Omcers and Decides Against Three
day Picnic In Future.
The Tenth Congressional Picnic as
ISOLATION held it's regular annual bus
mess meeting at the Tower yesterday
afternoon. After the routine bust
ness, matters of more important
nature were taken up. 1t was de-
cided to hereafter style the associa-
ton as the Western Illinois Picnic
Association of the M. w. of A 1t
was voted to hold the next picnic at
Rock Island. the time to be deter
mined by the executive committee.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year:
President X. Eihl, Rock Island.
Secretary-John p. Sexton, Rock
Island.
Treasurer-George Reddig, Rock
Island.

George Morgan; Henry county, A. b.

After the election of officers NJ. j.
McEniry, of Moline. was heard in be-
half of the Woodmen of that city. He
said that they were radically opposed
to again holding picnic for more
than one day, and that they, as citi-
zens of Moline. had a great sufficiency
of anything that savored of a street
fair. This seemed to be the prevail
ing sentiment of the delegates, and it
was thereupon decided that next
years picnic should be for one day
only; that it should be held in the
woods and it should be one of the
old-time. log-rolling affairs.
A hearty vote of thanks was given
to the retiring officers for their faith
full and efficient work in connection
with the association and the meeting
ad burned.

Today's exercises mark the close of
the fourth annual picnic of the Wood
men of the Tenth district. There
were no ceremonies and the crowds
that came to town amused them selves
on the streets during the morning.
The free entertainments attracted
much attention and the side shows
drew large audiences. After the street
pageant of Buffalo Bill's show the
people turned their attention to get
ting something to eat and the stands
and lunch counters as we'll as the
restaurants and hotels did an i'm

streets are comparatively quiet. the

has been unusually heavy. more of

Gu sed the bunch of having robbed

Italy almost from end to end, crossed
the Apennines,. went over the Saint

BookwaIter spent the greater part Of
his time living among and closely

in the price of grain he sees the begin.
ming of struggle of the agricultural

capital in cities. This movement, he
believes, will commence in America,
where he belives the economic condi-
lions are inferior to those of Germany
and France, especially the latter,
which he maintains is the soundest
country in che world, owing to the
distribution of wealth between the
