MINING AND MILLING ORES.
Marked Reduction in Cost Below That
of Thirty Years Ago.

The annual report OF the SupeTln-
tendent of the Belcher mining COM
pany for the year 1873, the banner
wear OF the bonanza in that mine IN
point of bullion production shows the
total ore products for that year from
the 100 to the 1900 level was about
1876 900 tons, the average bullion yield
from which was a fraction over 500
per ton. The cost of mining was SSH
per ton and milling $121O per ton.
When Superintendent Sharon was
extracting ore from the 140O level OF
the Yellow Jacket several years ago
he kept an account of the exact cost
of mining it and landing it on the
surface-not counting any dead work
and the cost was S. per ton. re
duction of $3.50 per ton below the cost
of 1873. There is vast amount OF ore
in the Jacket that averages IS per ton
in gold value but this test proved that
ore of that grade cannot be handled
profitably. Using electric power for
hosting would make a reduction in
the cost of mining, but not sufficient
to make that grade pay. The reduc-
ton in the cost of milling is far more
marked than in mining since the date
mentioned, as the Kinkead company
charges only $3.50 per ton for milling
low grade ore in lots of 1000 tons or
more, or nearly four-fifths less than
the price charged in 1S73.-Report.

THE ooLD SANDS OF ALASKA.

Far More Extensive Than Those of

 John D. McGillivray in the Engineering
 Magazine.
 The gold bearing gravels of Alaska and the Canadian Yukon extend from the 130th to the 1411st meridian on the Cam adian side, and from the Hist to the 16sth meridian of west longitude in Alaska. . total of 3S degrees. or over one.tenth way. around the world at that latitude. North and south these gravels are found from about the 60th to about the roth parallel. They are found along the Yukon river and most of it's branches, and on the Kuskoquim, the Copper river, the Sew ard ptninsula, and on streams running into Behring sea. What the actual area of these gravels may be there is no means of judging at present, and will not be for many years to come, because a large part of them are situated far in the interior at long distances from river transportation. and so will not attract the attention of prospectors or capital fsts for some time. That they are far more extensive than were the gravels of California has been easily proved by the amount of ground, already located. Up to December. 1898. there had been To- cated in the Klondike district alone, 35,- 900 acres, and since then locations have more than trebled thas in this district and in the Seward rIver country ad- joining. In addition to thise the Cana dian government has granted concessions covering large areas of ground, much of which is of only problematical value. ex- ceeding in area all the ground that has been located by the miners.
 There are far larger areas of gravel and as rich in values. on the Alaskan side, from the Hist meridian to Nome and beyond on the north, and to Valdes and to the mouth of the Kuskoquim on the south, than on the Canadian side; and all this gravel may be taken up un- der more favorable mining regulations, but the reason why the gravels have not been developed by capital Is that the cost of transportation of supplies has been so high. This difficulty can be remedied by capital or by the Federal government in a very inexpensive way.

GAMBLING BY ELECTRICITY.
Western Device by Which Lovers of
 Keno Heighten Endowment.

Gambling b yelectrlcity is the latest fad m the West, said tourist who recently returned from a Western trip, says The New Orleans Times-Democrat Tn this progressive age I am not easily surprised, but when came upon this latest appli- cation of that silent and invisible force to game of chance had to pinch my self to see if I was awake. But coming down to rock-bottom facts, it is not at all surprising that electricity should be used in conducting a game of chance. I found. after a little reflection. that my surprise was that it had not become a common thing instead of presenting the aspect of something extraordinary. In this day. indeed. electricity is used for everything. from curing dyspepsia to propelling an airship or a submarine boat. and the time Is not far distant perhaps, when electric bank cashiers or baseball umpires will be sold at a noder- ate cost or found at . bargain, in sec- ond-hand stores.
 A few days ago visited San Antonio the metropolis of Texas, where the in- ciinations of the people are paramount to law, and the ordinary restrictions rest but lightly on the citizen. The people of that town enjoy more liberty than any people I have ever encountered. A ca- tholicity of sentiment pervades every where, and what would be an unusual SAAAAAS AAi OthCA CAtiCS QOSS not even SX- cite comment. except from strangers. I walked Into big gambling house and was almost speechless for a moment on seeing number of women seated at a keno table. But I was soon told that it was very common thing. It was in this place that the game of keno is play ed by electricity.
 Two and three hundred people can play at the same time by means of the apparatus. The players are seated at two long tables on either side. At the end of the hall is large rack which is connected by electric wires with a but ton-board or keyboard. As the dealer turns the cards the operator touches this or that button or key. and a number falls in the rack corresponding to each key or button pressed and to the cards. as they are turned from the deck. The numbers are clearly visible to each play CT at the two long tables. The advant- age afforded is that any number of peo- pie can play at the game at the same time. am told that the system has proved highly satisfactory. When the Anna Held company was in San Antonio the girls almost broke the bank playing keno It Is question in my mind now as to how far a reach 1t Is to playing poker or shooting craps by electricity.''

ing has been heard since he left the yacht Zaria July 13, 1902, in company with two Yakouts and started for Bennett Is- land. The Zaria left it's winter quarters early in June last year to find Baron Toll as well as his associate, the Eoologlet Biurouali, who had go':ne to New Siberia. The vessel was unable to accomplish It's mission and returned late in the season to the river Lena. Biurouah escaped across the ice. Three relief parties were sent out by the academy early last spring.
 There seems to be no doubt that they reached New Siberia quite early in the season as the ice was very strong and present hope is that Baron Toll may have been able to return to New Siberia.

KING BAILEY RETIREs.
Veteran Ball Player Leaves the Nat
 ional Game,

With the passing of Lemuel King Bal- ley from the diamond, the Southern League loses one of it's sturdiest figures and a player that has done his share and more to the upbuilding of sports manship among the ball tossers of the South.
 Many years Lem Bailey twirIed a sphere for various Southern League teams and for three of these years he wore Montgomery uniform. During that time the King, like all other pitch CTS, won games and lost games, but during his whole career. 1t was never in- sinuated that he had not given the op- posing club the best he had in his arm.
 No one realized this fact more than the last manager under whose Idirection Bailey worked, foxy Newt Fisher. and 1t was on this account that the Nashville magnate gave Bailey the release which he had asked for after losing a number of successive gaines.
 Bailey will go to Selma. where he will operate a billiard parlor. If In that bus mess he maintains the same integrity
