Great Sulphur Deposit.

Development on a large scale of what is declared to be the greatest sulphur deposit in the United States, if not in the world. will commence in the early spring. The mine is located on Mount Makuskin, Unalaska island one of the Aleutian archipelago. IL was located in 1898 by Maj. John J. Habocker and Thomas NJ. Reed. Jr., of Olympia. The Philadelphia Crude Ore Co.,, Maj. Habecker and Dr. Alexander De Soto own the property. While keeping up the assessessment work, they have never begun develop ment work on a large scale. But in the spring Capt. w. H. Fergu- son, who represents the owners in a legal capacity, says operations are to be commenced on a large scale.
 Mount Makuskin, as seen from Dutch Harbor and Unalaska, as it can be easily on clear day, pre- ren;s the appearance of an active volcano. Smoke and steam pour out continuously through hundreds of small Assures in the cap of the lofty peak.
 E.. Donovan Reed. a mining ex- pert and civil engineer. led an ex- pedition to the mountain early in the current year. The deposit was thoroughly prospected. Nu- merous holes were sunk to a great depth, with the result that Reed reporting on the property estimated that there are 5O0.0OO tons of sul- phur deposit, running 75 per cent. pure sulphur in sight.
 The plan of development contem- plates the construction of a tram way from the sulphur beds to tide water in Captains bay, across from Datch Harbor, a distance of twenty to twenty-five miles.
 Development of the beds would have been undertaken sooner but for unexpected delays in securing patent. The owners, Capt. Fer guson states. having complied with every requirement. of the law, will soon be in possession of the neces- sary patent and title papers.

Gold, Ivory and Furs.

Gold in nuggets and every in conceivable form, including gold bricks of the real metal, furs and manufactured ivory, all from Alas ka. will be exhibited at "The Pike" at the St. Losis expositson by the Alaska Gold Nugget Co.
 This company was recently in- corporated under the laws of Washington by party of Nome capitalists. The exhibit will be valued at $l50,OOO. and will occu- py building 35 feet front and 100 feet deep.
 This will be the first display of Alaskan products ever made on a scale sufficient to attract attention, and, it is claimed. will be the larg- est and the most valuable display of mineral products ever shown anywhere. The incorporators of this enterprise are Eugene Chilberg, R. B. Dawson, John Erickson. Jafet Lindeberg, A. F. Guinan, T. J. Nes- tor and A. l.. Delfin.
 The exhibit will include the nng- get recently taken out at Nome, weighing 1S2 ounces and valued at $3.216; also two other large mug gets, one weighing l29 ounces and worth $l ,943; the other weighing 96.6S ounces and carrying $l, LAO in gold. These are claimed to be the largest gold nuggets now in ex- istencc. Larger ones have been found but have been promptly put through the. melting pot.
 In the vault of the Scandinavian American bank are sacks of gold nuggets aggregating about $35,OOO in value, which will be included in the display.
 The exhibit of furs and ivory manufactures will.be worth $2O, ,OOO all taken from the coast of Alaska. The ivory manufactures will be of great variety and will exhibit many original conceits.
 A marked feature of the display will be the exhibition of mining operations on a small scale Sluice boxes will be kept going all the time, and the work with rock CTS and pans will be shown as ac- tually conducted in the far north. A miniature hydraulic machine will also be operated.

the boy lie would pay him only %
cents After long argument, in
which each stuck To his price, the
youngster won out, and MI. Carnegie
says he allowed the lad to collect the
80 cents not because the trip was

The Only Asset.

A short story about II. II. Nreeland,
of the Metropolitan Street Railway,
came out in the course of the enter
tainment given the employees of the
Long Island News company at the
house of Frederick Morris in Flushing
last week. This was to the effect that
at one time not so very long ago, when
Mr.. Vreeand was a brakeman on the
old North Shore road, he was assigned
to a special carrying William c. Whit
ney and party of capitalists over
the system.
The visitors questioned the North
Shore officials rather closely about the
properties and their management and
found a surprising lack of information.
At different times during the conver-
sation questions were referred to Vrae-
land for an answer and with good sue
cess. for the reason that he had been
studying the history and workings
of the road. and knew Long Island
like a book"
After a tour of inspection was over
Mr. Whitney remarked to some one
of his colleagues: "As. far as l can
see about the only. valuable asset that
road has is this brakeman, Vreeland.'
