Cancers Gl,rn,jp1 Growth

Perhaps the most alarming feature
of the past years death report of
London, England, is the statement con-
2rning the glowth of cancer While
he deaths from consumption show a
gratifying dimunition, cancer makes
steady Roadway. In 1901 this disease
claimed 1882 victims, being at the rate
Of .93, as compared with rs in 1891
and .42 in 1S5l60
The age at which cancer most af-
fects people is indicated by the fact
that 1913 died at the age Of thirty-five to
forty-fve, S9l between orty-five and
fifty-fve, 1924 between fifty-fve and
sixty-five, 92S between sixty-five and
seventy-fve, and 1914 between seventy
five and eighty-five.

Our company has some interest in
larger Russian corporation, to which
we are devoting our attention now. This
company has the exclusive mining con.
cession along the Bel,ring sea and the
Behring straits, opposite the Seward
pentnsula, In Alaska. The territory
Is partly within the Arctic circle and
covers an area OF 100000 square miles,
This tract is larger than Washington
Oregon and Idaho combined, The COM
pany has established trading posts for
the purchase Of furs, ivory and fish.
and to supply the people with food
and other necessities. There are
great many natives in the tract, therl
being 5000 Oh the pen nsula of Tchou-
kotsk. They are EsQumauX of UNI
Goabtcd japanese origin. Those on the
coast live principally on fish. The peo-
pie of the interior speak a different
language are larger and harder, and
live on rendccrs, of which they have
large herds. Our purpose is to en-
plore the territory for mining pur-
poses, and last winter we had $50 min
ers in this country prospecting. Some
promising quartz discoveries were
made and We are now working these
out. Recently some valuable placer
deposits have been found. Our COM
pany will retain and develop whatever
we find. The conditions are the same
as prevail in Alaska. and the placer
deposits were found directly opposite
Cape Prince Of Wales. in Alaska. 1nere
are undoubtedly great quantities of
gold there. which our company hopes
to find in time. Our trading stations
are at Anadir, Vladimir, st. Nicholas,
Alexis and East Cape. A mail schoon-
er and a small steamer connect these
points with Cape Nome, Alaska. Our
main connection is with Nladivostock,
the terminus OF the Trans-Siberian
railway. We get supplies there and |
send our output to that point. 1t is
about 20O0 miles south, but a line of |
steamers makes occasional trips. There |
is line of steamers running from that
point TO Seattle. but only two trips are
made each year. The distance Is 49,
