Prince of Wales Island.

Hon. A. P. Swineford, formerly Gov ernor of Alaska, who has just returned to that territory after visit at his former home in Marquette county, says that inside of ten or twelve years Prince of Wales Island will dictate the price of copper. This assertion would be received with an iucredulous smile coming from one not qualified to speak. Coming from Governor Swine ford, however, it is entitled to some consideration. Governor Swineford was for many years closely identified with the iron and copper mining dis tricts of the Lake Superior District and served for few years as Commis. sioner of Mineral Statistics in Michi gan.
 In ten years, declared Governor Swineford. a large portion of the cop per consumed by the world each year will be supplied by Prince of Wales Island. 1t is stated that the island is vast mineral deposit, and that the ores carry in addition to the copper value, more gold than is contained in the ore mined in the famous Alaska. Treadwell mine on Douglas Island. The mines of Prince of Wales Island are close to navigable waters and by virtue of their location can be operated more cheaply than the copper deposits known to exist on the mainland but remote from the seaboard. An ocean vessel can be run up within a very short distance of some of the greatest bodies of ore on Prince of Wales Is- land and this means very large say. ing in trans sportation costs.
 Prince of Wales Island is 125 miles long, with an average with of ten miles and is one of the largest in that section of Alaska.-Los Angeles Review.

Very Promising Copper Company.

One of the properties of this county which offers splendid prospects for a great future is that of the Yavapai De, velopment company, which recently purchased nun Der of claims of the Pickaway Mining company, located on lower Turkey creek about three miles east of Turkey station on the Brad. shaw Mountain railroad. This is de- cidedly copper property, although it carries some values in gold. The claim has been prospected to depth of about 1OJ feet and cross cut run through solid vein of copper and gold ore twenty nine fee: in thickness. This work has all been done by E. A.. Haggott, uperintendent of the Blue Bell mine, and he informs the Journa
 Miner that the property of the Yavapai Development company is as near like the Blue Bell in character of ore and formation as any two mines could pos. sibly be. A. E. McManus, a prominent attorney of Duluth, Minn., and Lewis Merritt, leading broker of that city, have been here for few days examin- ing the property and left for their homes yesterday highly pleased. Mir. McManus is the president and MT. Merritt the treasurer of the company, and their visit was to complete ar
 engagements for the development of the claims in a systematic and exten- sive manner. These gentlemen have been identified with some of the big properties in the Warren mining dis. trict near Bisbee, in this territory, and thoroughly understand the business of copper mining. They decided to start work at once on three apartment shaft and sink it as fast as possible to a depth of 300 feet before any drifting was done. They will then decide on further development, but it is the in. tention to spend the next eighteen months in purely development work. When that i- done it will be determined what kind of reduction plant is needed and as the company has unlimited cap ital to properly carry out it's plans there is every reason to believe that one of the great properties of the coun- ty will be the result.-Journal Miner.

Passenger Record Made This Week.

Traffic over the Canyon road has been enormous this week, no less than 4,20O people having visited the great gorge, and the manner in which the crowds were handled by the railroad as we'll as the hotels speak volumes. As result of the Methodists' visit the town is considerably better off, finan- cially. as many dollars were taken in by our merchants. In all there were twelve special trains, comprising nine- ty-nine cars, besides seven or eight special cars.
 Nearly all of these people had through tickets to the canyon, but the local office did quite business, as 600 round trip tickets were sold. After the conference is over there will be a repetition of the rush.-Williams News.

Hypnotism For the Drink Habit.

A New York dispatch few days ago announced that Prof. Hyslop of Col um bia university, had received an of fer of one million dollars from a wealthy philauthropist for the purpose of founding clinic in the metropolis where disease may be treated by hyp notic suggestion. In reply to inquiries Prof. Hyslop stated that the project was still in "nebulous state" but he practically admitted that the money had been offered. About two years ago, it will be remem bered, Prof. Hyslop had series of interesting ar ticles in narper's Magazine detailing and commenting upon his experime ents with MrS. Piper, the noted Boston clairvoysnt. He has taken d pro. nounced stand in favor of beliefs which are usually rejected by scientific meu, and he is strong advocate of hypnotism as cure for disease.
 Students of hypnotism incline to the belief that it has a future in the cure of the drink habit and of drug habits generally, and if the clinic suggested is established it will doubtless make a speciality of curing the nervous dis eases of which the drink habit is one of the principal manifestations.

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished and
put back; or they NAV be removed en-
tirely; bones are spliced; pipes take
the place of diseased sections OF veins.
antiseptic dressings are applied to
wounds. bruises, burns and like inpur-
les before inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without matura-
ton and In one third the time required
by the old treatment Chamberlain's
Pain Balm acts on this same principle.
1t is an antiseptic and when applied TO
such injuries causes them to heal very
quickly 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
