not state with any degree of partfcu-

would take. The sum required to en-
able the Morning to be dispatched
second time to the Antarctic was eSti-
mated at 912,000, and in some
quarters it was suggested that if the
government contributed a proportion
of the sum required, the balance might
be obtained by public subscriptions.
On the other hand, it was urged that

ing instructions to refit and take fresh
stores on board ready for her return
to M'Murdo Bay, and it was on the
basis of the dispatch of a single vessel
that the estimate of G12,000 was made.
But in the letter which the presidents
of the two societies addressed to the
treasury, the suggestion was thrown out
whether it might not be desirable to
send two ships instead of one. Opinion
was not entirely unanimous as to the
necessity of the dispatch of a second
relief ship, but. acting no doubt on the
advice of its expert advisers at the
admiralty, the government has deter
mined that the relief expedition shall
consist Of two ships. 1t is intended
that one of these shall be the Morn

WHAT is BEING ACCOMPLISHED
At THE GREAT IRON KING MINE
The Mil Running Nicey===The Diamond
Drills in Observation-Disclosures Gasoline
Engine to Drive Electric Generator.

During a visit to the great Iron
King mine the past week a Journal
Miner reporter noticed many new i'm
provements in the camp since the last
visit there some three or four months
previous, but the Iron King camp is
place where they do things all the
time, and there is not day goes by
that does not see some improvement
made.
The large new company store was
found to be filled to overlooking with
a we'll selected stock of merchandise
which would be credit to a city
store, and Mr.. Williams, the accom-
modating store keeper doing a rush
ing business. The company buys its
goods in from one to three car load
lots and finds ready sale not only to
the people who live in the camp but
TO the people in that section who are
operating other properties. The store
occupies the first floor which is S0x25
feet, besides the basement which Is
about the same size.
The post--office, which was recently
established, is handling quite large
quantity of mail, there being now
about 300 people in the Iron King
camp alone, besides those in the ada
cent camps which get their mail at
Blanchard, which is the name of the
postoffice. Mrs. W. r. Williams is
the postmistress. A fine new post
office outfit has been ordered and is
expected to arrive any day, when the
new office will put on real city airs.
The school, which was opened this
fall for the first time with an enroll
ment of between twenty and thirty,
now has an enrolment of over fifty
pupils and is doing splendidly under
the able direction of Miss Lowrey.
There are now about fifty families
living in the camp. 1t has been the
intention of the management to en-
ploy men with families, as far as pos
sible, which gives the camp an air
of stability and home likeness seldom
found in the mining camps of the
west
The difficulty that has been exper-
fenced with the smill seems to have
been about solved, as the values of |
the ore are now being saved to within
about sixty cents per ton, and Mr..
Cummins expects to have arrange
ments completed within a few days
that will even reduce that loss. The
ore that is being handled now aver
ages about 80 per ton which nets the
company good profit, and the tide
of money which has been going out
in the equipment of the mine and ex-
priments in finding out the proper
methods for handling the ore, has
now turned and is flowing into the
treasury, and the indications are that
the property will not only pay from
now on but will net profit to the
company even with the present reduc-
tion plant, and when -the 5OO-ton

What For Christmas7

For mother dear, Buck range she'd

We have the stuff for which they rage.
To please them, a watch, a gun, q

And they'll do their chores with no
more laggin'.
For young girls, there's dolls galore;
For little ones, there's toys and more.
There's toys that move and talk, and
some that sing;
What children wish that Santa Claus
would bring.
Then there are all those endless
pretty things,
That touch a woman's heart and
please her whims.
Get ties and kerchiefs for the men:
You never can quite miss it then.
Smokers jacket, slippers, bath robes
too,
Will gain their gratitude for you.
So many dainty china wares,
So many styles of cosy chairs
Such handsome rugs and draperies,
And gifts like these are bound to
please.
In furniture there's endless picking,
You're sure to find what your loved
ones wishing.
And all good things for Christmas
