months old the life of Mary Grant, a
colored woman of Richmond, Va, has
been saved. Some weeks ago the Wom-

necessary cuticle for grating, but they
objected. The physician in charge then
procured young white pig, which
was chloroformed, and enough Of the
necessary hide removed and grated

Prince Connolly of Mayo Hill

Perhaps the most remarkable man in Alaska to- day s that well known odtimer, Dan Prnce) Con- nolly, lnea descendant of ORourke the celebrated Prince of Brrffene, in the west of Ireland He is great musher and trail blazer. My first meeting with him was in the spring of '9S on the Chilkoot pass. He was en route to Dawson with large quan- tity of evaporated hay. It was a novel scheme but ended disastrously. The bales were about the size and shape of an Agen butter and weighed three pounds in their evaporated form, but when made ready for use by weting of the ordinary size and weighed 100 pounds. He loaded a barge at Ben nett and all went we'll until he was shooting the Whitehorse rapids The catastrophe is best described in his own words
 Gintlemen," he said, i've swung sideways and shipped two three big seas and in five minutes was on top of pile of hay as big as Anvil noun tain."
 In the winter of '9S he saw bedrock in 43 places on Dublin gulch, in the Klondke He was one of the pioneers of Nome and bazed the trail to Penny river, mushed to Cape York and the Kougarok, and had haRd-o- hand encounter with ferocious griz- zly bear on the Mukluk river. It was hard battle as he had nothing but lead pencil and hatchet to defend himself with. He also made record break ing trip to Cape Denbigh with his famous dog team. Shorty was his leader. and the Prince had standing bedrock bet of OOO that he could him around on a ons-dolar bill. The past year I have heard hattering reports of his claim on Mayo hl and in my heart hoped that they true as he is great rustler, has faced death like hero hundred times and has never been heard to utter dragging word of his hair-raising exploits.
 Meeting him New Years eve in the Board of Trade realized the truth of the reports that he had struck it rich, for he was arrayed in chechako

Whales Are Still Plentiful

Whales plentiful today in the Arctic at. they ever were according 10 E. l.. Bosqui, who dur ing his residence in and about Point Barrow and other Arctic points, devoted good deal of his time acquiring information. One reason that many not captured as formerly is particular duo to the fact that in the last 50 years the whale has learned wisdom and has acquired knowledge of the ways and habits of the whaers.
 For years, says MT. Bosqui, whaling stations have been maintained at Point Hope and Point Barrow. That is to say, shore whaling is pursued at these places. And the whales know it, They wl so old whaers say "sport and loaf' along tho coast between points where whaling stations are not located. As rule whales travel about five knots an hour but as they reach the vicinity of a whaling station they n- stincvely increase their pace and travel much rapidly, only coming to the surface when actually necessary to "blow.":.
 "Shore" whaling is therefore much more difficult than in former years though is averred that whales still plentiful.

 In shore whaling, at least, many more whales are killed than landed If death by bomb and harpoon is not instantaneous, nearly so, very frequently the whale escapes beneath the ice, and, perhaps his dead body later became food for tho polar bears
 It was in 1S4S that the first whale ship, the Su- peror Capt. Roys passed through Boring strait, and this the first effort of the kind, rewarded by full cargo in very short time. The report spread, and the following the example of Capt. Roys followed by 154 American whalers. For tho next 20 years whaling may be said to have been at it's height In 1868 the products of the American whale fishery for three months, ending June 30, were 14S3OS3 gallons of oil other than sperm, and -526 566 pounds of whalebone of which the total value was $1 1861 922 Tho greater part of this came from the vicinity of Boring strait
 The ravages of the privateer Shenandoah, in 1864, struck severe blow to the American whale fisheries in this region But tho business rallied after the close of the war, but in late years it has steadily dminish ed, and today there not moro than dozen Amer ican vessels engaged in the business.

taining no water) iron oxide, and the yellow or brown color is due to hy- drous (watery) iron oxide. If the yell low or brown croppings be burned, thereby driving out the water of crys- utilization, it will become red. A good illustration of this fact is the common red brick, before it is baked the clay being of a yellowish or brown color. and the process of baking the bricks drives out the water of capitalization, making them anhydrous, or red in color. The idea that red-colored vein croppings are uniformly of higher grade than those of yellow or brown is not borne out by the investigations carried on by mineralogists during the past decade. In both cases the color is due to oxidation of the normal ore, which on investigation will usually be found to have been iron sulphide. If the original sulphide was rich in pre- cious metals the oxidized croppings are almost likely to contain good values. There may also be gold present in quartz, independent of the iron oxide. The oxidized belts, or zones, of the Homestake, in South Dakota, are deep red; the vein croppings of California are usually yellowish brown, and so on one can name rich deposits of high grade ore, whose croppings are some red and others yellow or brown.
