ALASKA'S TIN DISCOVERY.
An important Addition to the Mineral
Resources of the United
States.

Is Alaska going to add to the number
and the variety of the resources which
she contributes to the country's wealth?
1t looks that way. According to report,
reef of tin ore has just been discovered
at Nome which promises to be as rich
as any hitherto found anywhere in the
world. This is a metal in which the
United States thus far has been rather
deficient. 1t is found in this country in
many places-South Dakota, West Vir-
ginia, California and other regions-but
1t is not produced in any really impor-
tant quantities in the United States.
Naturally, a good deal of interest has
been aroused by this report of the find in
Alaska, observes the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. The greaterpar of the worlds
product of tin comes from the straits
settlements and islands in southern Asia.
1t is found also in England, Spain, Ger
many, Bohemia, Chilli, Peru, Mexico and
other countries. America, which now
leads in the production of coal, gold, iron
and many other minerals and metals, has
chance to take prominent part like
wise in furnishing tin. AS this is a decid-
eddy important commodity, the discoy-
cry OF tin ore here in quantities like
those limited at in the story from our
northerly regions would have an effect
which would tell quickly in our indus
tries and in cheapening a large variety
of useful articles.
Alaska has contributed many millions
Of dollars in furs, fish, gold and other
products. It will furnish vast sums in
lumber, and will be a granary of the fu-
ture, for it has been ascertained that
wheat can be grown there over large
traces In great quantities Alaska has
many navigable streams, and the whole
of the panhandle Of that region is close
to tidewater. The facilities, therefore,
for cheap transportation from a large
part Of Alaska are good. The population
of Alaska in 1900 was 63 900, and 1t almost
doubled in the decade. The discovering
of the gold fields OF Nome and the
working of the coal deposits in other
parts of the locality have added greatly
to the population of the province In the
past three years. Railroads are being
projected through large part of the
country, and an era of development is
setting In which promises to make it one
Of the most important of United States
possessions. That $4,000, 600 which we
paid for Alaska a third of century ago
was one of the country's most profitable
territorial investments.

Queer Graveyard.

A steamship filled with bones ar.
rived at New York The bones were
the skeletons of cattle gathered or
the great plains of South America
They are shipped here to be ground
Into fertilizers. The longshoremen
find in nearly every cargo a human
bone-all that is left of some poor fel.
low who died ON the plains. They are
responsible for queer little grave
yard near the fertilizing plant. The
workmen have strict orders never to
grind up human bone. It is taken
out to a little fenced graveyard and
buried. Many Of the graves are not
more than two feet long, but they are
as carefully covered as though they
contained entire skeletons.-N. Y.

Leo XIII. received many costly pres.

death they did not become the proper

1t is said that the launch business
OF the country runs into several mill

all kinds of motors, mostly using gas

reversible, and clutch or feathering

der a wagon on the public square, and
for the first two weeks we lived on one
meal per day. Never was good man
in a more desperate situation. We had
lame back, corns on our feet and
consumptive cough and there were those
who predicted that we would be planted

THE ONE GRAIN OF TRUTH
Our enemies declare that we got our
start in the west by playing poker and
there is a grain of truth in it, miner
who figured that we were not long for
this world, and ought to enjoy as much
of it as we could, staked us one night
in a game of poker, and the finger of
Providence or somebody else seemed to
be in it. At least. we won SIS, and with
the money we bought shingle nails,
type, shoe backing and white paper,
and issued the first number of THE
Arizona Kicker"
We plead guilty to poker. and have
no excuse to urge or offer We simply
held four jacks against a full house and
scooped in the pot that gave US our
start in the woolly west. The story that
we murdered the proprietor of The
Kicker to get possession of the plant
is the veriest bosh There was no
Kicker until we created it.
SOME MALICIOUS CHARGES.
1t is charged that since we became
a fixture of the west we have bribed
and bought our way politically; that
we have shot down over thirty men
for amusement; that as an officeholder
we have stolen from the people; that
the public only needs a leader in order
to seize and hang us, and so forth, and
so forth
We answer that no living man can
truthfully say that we ever gave him
a dollar for corrupt political purposes.
We have been elected to Office because
the people loved US. We have had to
dispose of fourteen different men, but
only because they wanted to dispose of
us, and in each and every instance the
coroner's jury has acquitted US of all
blams-
AS a public official, our accounts have
been audited and found square to a
cent, and as to lynching us, there is
not a human being in this part of
Arizona who would not fight to the
death for us.
We beg the pardon of our readers for
adVerting to these assertions, state
ments and innuendoes but our enemies
have so persistently made use of them
that it seemed best to go out of our
way for once and make a plain state
ment The idea, of course, is to curb
our ambition and shatter our chances,
but it will fail. We are satisfied that
nothing but our death will prevent our
being president of the United States.i in
1908. After that date address us al the
