Alleged Tin Deposits of Alaska.

week or so since newspaper dis patches contained announcements of tin discoveries in Alaska, and it was country would soon cease to import the product of the Straits Settlements or other foreign regions because the tin supply to come from Cape York would prove all-sufficient. But an authority, the Engineering and Mining Journal. believes that the tin deposits referred to are of slight economic importance. Our contemporary suggests that gar nets are easily mistaken for tin by men who, experienced in gold. silver and siterite. The ruby sand of Cape Nome owes it's names to the presence of garnetS, which also abound on the shores of the Siberian side of Ber- ing sea. These are derived from the erosion of the mica schists. which pre- vail over large areas on the Seward peninsula. All the graVelS of the re- zion contain them in varying quantity and along the seashore they have been concentrated by tidal action. The color and specialization are sufficiently like tinstone to cause confusion among prospectors, and when to this is added the general lack of knowledge concern- ing the proper tests and assays for tin, it is easily seen how garnet and cas- siterite are mistaen the one for the Otl

The Fall in Reputations,

The decline in stocks during the past few months has been remarkable. but there have been. at the same time, other "slumps'' fully as noteworthy as the drop in shares. The Financier, one of the leading publications devoted to the interests of banking, makes these caustic comments upon the recent dis closures concerning the methods of the strictly gambling element in Wall street:
 ''The fall in regulations in the Waii street district lately has been quite
 as marked as the fall in stocks. The testimony of Capt. Leroy Dresser in | the United States Ship building case
 seems to reveal clearly that high 1 finance as practiced by some of the | leading opponents of industrial promo ' tion is only slightly removed from the old fashioned thimble-rigging games
 with which the public is familiar. The | shameless manner in which deals were
 made for transferring water logged
 properties from one syndicate to anoth- CT. and the equally reprehensible
 agreements. that the chief promoters
 should have the first opportunity oi | plunCerlnS the IamDS through safes II l fictitious valuations are illuminative
 although perhaps not edifying revela-
 tions to those who have been wonder | ing why the stocks they bought a year
 ago on such strictly first class recom- mendations have declined so persist
 ently in price. The methods of men dacity set forth in Capt. Dresser s | testimony are a shock tO the credulous.
 but sober reflection will tend to show
 that the whole movement in Wall street for the last two years has been leading up to such T clfmination.

North American birds will net figure to any extent upon womsn's hats this winter, for the effect of the contract entered into by the Association or Wholesale Mi:liners and various state Audubon societies, including that of Massachusetts, is beginning to be felt. Reputable dealers will not offer the prohibited birds for sale, and so they will no longer be the fashion. At least that is the expectation. Incidentally, Massachusetts women will do well to remember, ir the purchase of new hats and bonrets, that wearing of the body CT feathers of any but certain Unpro- tected wild birds makes the wearer Ii able to a fine of $10.-New Bedford Standard.

The monument unveiled in Washing ton yesterday to the memory of Gen eral William Tecumseh Sheman stands, primarily, as tribute from the soldiers of the Army of the Tennessee.

The Reservoir Assured.

The Republican never cou1aIncd bet ter news than the special dispatch from Washington. printed yesterday morning. The future of the Salt River valley was settled on Wednesday, Oc- tober 1z, 1903, when the Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, secretary of the in- terior, ordered contracts to be let for the preliminary work necessary to the construction of the Tonto Basin reser- voir. During the past year steps to- ward the consummation of this tre- rlendous project have followed each other in such logical sequence that it became reasonably certain several months ago that the reservoir would be constructed. Accordingly. the good news of yesterday had been discounted in a. large measure, but it was ex- ceedingly welcome, nevertheless. When we say that the future ol this valley 
 It is settled that the greatest storage reservoir ever. constructed in America or likely to be constructed in the western hemisphere. will be built by the government on the Salt river for the benefit of the Salt River valley.
 It is settled that when the reservoir itself, and the pumping plants connect ed with it by electricity are in opera ticn, at least 25O.oOo acres will be fur nished with an abundance of water for irrigation.
 It is settled that the Salt River val ley will speedily become the most den- seIy populated and the most wealthy agricultural region in the United States.
 It is settled that Phoenix will have a population of 25,0O0 within three years from this date. and 5O.0O6 within ten years.
 It means that every town in the val ley will more than double it's popula- ton and wealth by the time the dam is finished
 IL means that, intrinsically, practi- cally every piece of real estate in the valley is now worth twice what it was one year ago, when the work Of the Water Users association began.
 Citizens who have been waiting for an announcement by the government on the question of the reservoir may now rest contented. The government does not announce" things, except in the manner that the news of Wednez- day was given to our Washington cor respondent. It was stated, simply. that contracts for the preliminary work had been ordered, and later on, when other steps are to be taken, the news will be given out with as, little cere- mony.
 1 amount to considerable sum in itse,f The building and equipment for the cement plant, the steam pump plant, repair shop, s:,w-mill. electrical power equipment. and telephone line between Phoenix and the damsite, will cost ap- proximately s1OOO0O. The ranches with in the reservoir site will cost perhaps S35 900 additional.
 As was to be expected, MT. Arthur F. Davis, one of the governfnents most trusted engineers, will have control of this construction, which is by no means the least important part of the news. MT. Davis is thoroughly in sympathy with the valleys aspira. tions, and he enjoys the unqualified confidence of the people,

THAT u BOY"
MAJ COME OUT,
Tact and Encouraging Words Should
be EmplOyed-St0ry Illus
trates This.
EDITOR, THE ApvERr1sER, SIR

EDITOR, THE ADVERTISER, SIR
One Of my first teachers was Mis-,
Adeline, whose family were noted
teachers in South Carolina for the last
century.
She related to me her experience
with a dull boy, who resided up on the
hills of Enoree river. This boy was
twelve years old and all his former
teachers had failed to get him started
to learn anything in books.
She tried many plans with him and
failed in them.
One day she said: "Jim, have you a
slate, and do you love to mark on it?''
"Yes, ma'sm."
"Well bring it tomorrow"
She made a few a b c's on the slate
and put Jim to making them. He liked
the work and soon learned his alapha-
bet and went right in learning to spell,
read and write. And by the end of the
school he was up with the scholars OF
his age. In her language-"I never
saw a boy learn faster"
You see that this boy just needed
starting off. No doubt he had been
called all kind of hard names and
abused by teachers and parents for his
dul'ness until he really thought that he
could not learn anything and was of nc
account.
Jim did not stop at this school. He
went on learning and finally was pres;-
dent of a female college.
Who would have thought it? This
boy from such a bad beginning would
have made such an intelligent man?
Don't abuse the slow boy and call
him ugly names and tell him that he
will never be worth the salt that he
eats. No telling what will be the out
come in him If you will use tact and
patience with him.
Remember Susannah Wesley ard her
SOD John. ~ told him the twentieth
time, because he did not learn it the
nineteeth."
Who but q mother could exercise
such patience with a dull and listless
bOy.

Letter to j. II. Riddle.

Laurens, S. @.
Dear Sir: The cost of labor in paint
Ing a house is three times the cost OF
the paint. You seem to save a little
when you buy a low priced paint, but
you certainly. add to the cost of labor
when you pay for spreading more gall
Ions.
You don't even save on the paint.
Devoe Lead and Zinc costs a little
more than mixed paints, but 1t takes
fewer gallons and the cost is actually
less.
Wears longer too-longer than mixed
paints, longer than lead and oil.
You don't save q cent.
Mr.. @. Loeb, a painter in Magnolia,
Miss, writes:
After years OF experiments with
mixed paiots, / find that your paint
covers more surface to the gallon than
any / have ever used. For density and
wearing qualities 1t cannot be excelled.
Compared with lead and oil: A house
belonging to the late President of the
Croton River Bank, at Brewsters, N.
Y, (cost S31 ,000) was painted with lead
and oil in 'S4 at a cost OF $4OO. In '87-
three years-it was repainted with De.
voc at a cost OF 1850. In '97 the house
was still right.
Results: lead and oil-cost $500, wear
three years; Deyoe-cost $3.50, wear ten
years.

STRANGE, SAD SCENE.
AS Minister, Parents and Teachers
Prayed Little One Passed Away
Peculiar Circumstances.

A remarkable scene was enacted in
the Sunday school Of the Ainslee Street
Presbyterian church, in the Williams
burg section of Brooklyn, N. Y, last
week.
A short time before 10 o'clock, Emma
Rausch, 8 years old, left home for Sun
day school. On the way she bought a
penny whirling balloon. This she took
into her class and while Initiating it for
the amusement of her class mates, the
mouthpiece slipped into her throat.
She gasped for breath, The children
became alarmed and their ordinations
of fright attracted the attention of
Charles Follett, superintendent of the
Sunday school. He called to a trustee
of the church and they worked to ex-
tricate the toy from the throat of the
fast choking child.
Not until she became unconscious
was 1t believed that her condition was
critical. Physicians we're hastily sum-
moned but could do nothing for her.
When they announced that death was
near, the Rev. ID. II. Dawson raised his
hand aud asked that all kneel and pray.
Then he prayed aloud and ~fervently
for the soul that was passing before
their eyes.
The child's parents who had been
sent for entered as the clergyman was
about to begin his prayer. The mean
ing was clear to them, and they knelt
sobbing beside their child. And on the
wings Of the prayers Of their playmates
and friends the child's soul was borne
away to its Maker. Tenderly the body
was carried into-an adjoining room
and DR.. Dawson led the awe-stricken
congregation in a memorial service in
of the regular Sunday school exercises.
