when an ordinance is to be presented for

Barnes.kina Mine Bonded.

Although nothing has been given
out as to the price paid nor the ten
ure of the bond, 1t is reliably stated
that the famous Barnes-King mine,
of Kendall, has been bonded by its
present owners to A. 3. Wright Of
this place. The bond has not yet ap-
peared for record and none Of the
parties would give any OF the terms
of the deal further than confirming
the rumor that such bond has been
given. When seen, Mr.. Write would
have nothing whatever to say con-
cerning his part of the transaction.
The deal has created some stir up In
the little mining camp and relying
upon IL as the beginning Of a new era
of development work In the North
Moccasins, town lots are being pur-
chased and all are preparing for the
boom which they think is coming.

Montanan Makes Good In Alaska.
Reports come from Carbon county
to the effect that James Holland, who
lives in Gebo. and some time ago
went to Alaska, has struck bonanza
in the frozen country. He has just
returned home and says that he has
an interest in a claim a few miles
from Sitka where the ore, copper and
gold, lies on the surface, like a rim
of rock.
All that is necessary is to blast
great chunks off of the main body and
roll them down to small cars that
run out to the wharves a few miles
distant, where the ore is loaded in
to steamers and taken to San Fran
cisco for smelling. He says that 1t
runs $32 to the ton and only costs $l3
to ship and treat.
Mr.. Holland will go east In a few
days to purchase machinery for the
further development and more ex-
peditious working of the claim, and
will then return to Sitka, taking his
family with him.

this city Saturday. A ledge 1000
feet long and as many wide cropping
out of the ground, every foot Of
which pans we'll in gold from the sur

sticking out of the ground. There is
ore enough on this one ledge to pro-
duce 1000 tons of ore per day.
ID. H. Csey, a prominent mining
man of the Big Creek district, who
has been in the camp since early in
April, being one Of the first men to
take animals over Elk summit, arriv-
ed in this city Saturday. Mr.. Casey
was one of the original locators Of
Profile creek. He has locations on
the creek in close proximity to the
famous Dundee and Glasgow claims,
being developed by II. l.. Hollister
Mr.. Casey has sixteen claims on Pro-
file creek. About three weeks ago,
while prospecting on his claims, he
discovered a large ledge and, fol-
lowing it up. traced it for more than
2,2O0 feet, running through the Bel
videre and Jurit groups. He also dis
covered that it was more than 1900
feet in width. Mr.. Casey has not had
II assayed, but 1t pans easily, leaving
a large string Of coarse gold in the
pan. A dozen or more tests were
made from different parts of the
ledge and the result was the same in
every case. A 10000 foot shaft was
sunk on the ledge and the ore was
encountered from the surface. The
strike was made about two and one
half miles east of Profile Gap. and it
is thought the same ledge runs
through the Dundee and Glasgow.
There are fifteen claims on the ledge.
The ore is free milling on the surface
but may become base with depth.
"Mr. Casey will return in about
thirty days to begin work on the big
ledge He ran short Of provisions
and not having enough to run him
during the winter, concluded he would
come out for time. Mr.. Cases was
accompanied by G. J. Cronin and
Emil Roberts. both Profile creek min
ing men. While crossing Cleveland
summit they encountered a snow
slide, which carried Mr.. Roberts
down the mountain side for nearly
100 feet. 1t did him no harm except
bruising him a little. Mr.. Casey re-
ports about eight feet of snow on Elk
summit and six feet on Secesh sum-
nit. The snow is heavy and in a cop-
dition that makes 1t dangerous to
travel over the trail where the noun

ANDREW CARNAGE maintains that it
is a physical impossibility for Great
Britain to produce material things rival
ing in amount those of the United States,
Germany or Russia, nor would union
of the British Empire change the situa-
ton, for neither Canada nor Australia
give promise of much increase in popu-
lation or industrialism. America now
makes more steel than all the rest of the
world. In iron and coal her production
is greatest, and it is also so in textiles.
She produces three-quarters of the
worlds cotton. Her exports are greater,
and the clearing house exchanges at New
York are almost double those of London.
