ARCTIC TRIBES.
DIR. Boas Believes Those of Amer.
lea and Asia Are of One Race.

New York, Dec, 2S.-Basng his opin-
ions upon data collected by several ex-
plorers sent out by Morris X. Kessup,
OF this city, DR.. Franz Boas, curator Of
ethnology OF the American museum OF
natural history. has announced his be-
lief that previous theories as TO the orl-
gin of the American and Aslatlc tribes
around the north pole are founded In
error. The curator declares that the
tribes around the Behring sea and east
to Greenland are subdivisions OF one
race, and that the Esquimaux' position
as distinct race, so long conceded can
no longer he sustained.
ut seems clear" he says that the
isolated tribes Of eastern Siberia and
those OF the northwest coast OF Amerl-
ca form one race. similar In type and
with many elements OF culture In COM
mon, The invasion OF eastern tribes In
America has disturbed the former con-
dtions but enough remains TO lead us
to think that the tribes of this whole
area must he considered as single
race, or, at least, that their culture Is a
single culture which at one time was
found in both the northeastern part Of
the old world and the northwestern
part OF the new void"
Heretofore the jewellers OF the arctic
region were believed by many scientists
to be the oldest existing rae and to be
OF prc-glacorial origin.

! FINE ORE BODY
IN THE BLACK BIRD
Manager True Returns From Mil
ford Bringing Cheering News
From the Mines.
A BONANZA NOT A BORRASCA.
Ore Body Found on the 900 Level,
And is Now Being Followed
BY a Drift,

Manager True OF the Black Bird Of
Beaver returned from his trip to the
mine this morning, bringing broad
smiles with him. When seen at his
Office he said he was feeling very COM
Portable indeed The cause of his
mood was the recent developments at
the mine which are very cheering,
A cross~cut has been made ON
the 300 level nj the mine and at dis
lance of % feet front the shaft a fine
vein was broken into. A drift was
made along the trend of the vein and
is now IN IS feet This drift Is all In
ore and the body is increasing at every
shot. Mr. True says the ore Is of the
game character As that uncovered in
Its neighbor the Cactus, and assays
show that II can be shipped with q pro-
ut. Mr. True says that work Is being
pushed at the mine and that the DRIFT
along the vein Will be continued for
some time TO come. He feels that the
Black Bird has been lifted out OF It's
borrasca stage and that 1t may In the
near future become bonanza.
