ORIGIN OF TIE MAIDSTONE,
Potent Power Popularly Believed to Exist in the Mysterious
 Substance.

Where did the maidstone come from? No one seems to know. It does not belong to the mineral kingdom. nor can it be assigned to a place in geological forma tions. It's composition is not delinite and 't may possibly be found upon any 7each or in any gravel pit, and he supply is always equal to the demand, says the Chicago Chron- ;cle.
 There are even now many of these precious talismans in this
 "aatrv. and "the believers in heir efficacy always know where he nearest is kept" One of them 'as hecu the proI erty of an Ohio -'eTrc and was placed after the
 cath of the owner in the state li- 'rary at Columbus. There it was .ecently applied to the wound caused by the bite of supposedly rabid dog. The dog recovered and the woman to whom it was ap- piled died of blood poisoning. caused by the unclean contact.
 Such stone was kept in the Virginia state penitentiary for years and was open to all corners forapplication to the bite of mad dog or other allied wounds. One such lperhaps the same) was at a later date sold for $39.
 Still more famous was that brought from Russia in 1887 by physician of that country who set. lied in Nevada. It had previously been exploited in that country for at least century and a half, Il fact supported by documentary evidence. The document was writ ten in native Russian and as no body concerned could read if everybody implicitly believed what they were told of it. The owner offered the stone for sale for sl.o00 and a joint stock com pany WAS formed for the purchase. 4 number of shareholders ad- vanced Sl each and the balance was made up by farmer who be- came its keeper when the pur- chase was completed. It's fame still aourishes and it is said that m offer of 5000 has been refused for it.

Ori gin of Knives,

Prof. w. J. McGee has lately undertaken to trace back to it's origin that useful invention, the knife. The first knives. he be- iieyes, were fractured stones that happened to have a sharp cutting edge. But the vegetable kingdom also furnishes very keen cutting edges ill the leaves and stalks of certain plants, which might have been ayailed of before artificial knives were made. The fractured stone knife easily suggested the shaping of fiaked stones, like flint. into the form of blades. Among the Seri Indians on Tiburon Island, in the Gulf of California, the primitive custom of utilizing fractured and water-wOrn stones for, knives still exists.-Youth's Companion. -

In the Copper river section of Alaska the mining season for the year 1905 is about closed, and it has proved a most successful one both in the amount of gold taken out and the development work done on the copper properties. In the case of the latter not much more than assessment work has been attempted, and even with this comparatively small expenditure the properties are showing up to such a wonderful extent that the owners 10th to state the extent of the ore bodies lest they be classed as fabricators. To the uninitiated IL not seem strange that such enor- nous ore bodies should exist, but the experienced mining man, famil- lar with the great mines of the world, when he arrives in Valdez and hears a truthful, conservative statement, taken from actual meas urements, and is shown a sample of the ore, he feels, though perhaps too much of gentleman to say so, that the man who makes the state ment is doing some tall Alaska lying. Yet that same man of ex- Perience, having visited the inte- .rior, and seen for himself that the
The Alaska prospector., 1905-09-07

properties are even greater than reported. Is in turn classed as a doubtful character when he relates to the people who sent him t.e wonders of what he has seen Hence the partly erroneous state- ment made by Horace J. Stevens in the copper handbook, when he states "It may be said in general way that there is much copper in Alaska. It may also be said that there are many and able liars in Alaska" The latter part of the statement is brought out by the fact that Mir. Stevens makes a study of all the known copper mines, and consequently cannot bring himself to believethan any thing so vastly superior can pos sibly exist in Alaska. But. with advent of transportation facilities, when the ore is being put on the market, Mir. Stevens will probably become familiar with our ores and statements, and change his mind Tn regard to our veracity. l regard to the output of gold this season for this section of Alaska, 1t is not yet safe to make an estimate. as the miners are now about leaving the diggings, but We have received assurances from the various creeks that the output will be greater than ever before. Slate creek. our old standby has this season proved the banner year.. while some of the other creeks that were previously condemned have this year shown up in elegant shape, Men are each year learning improved methods To suit the circu instances. and are adopting them with sue cessful results. Of the cooper properties along the sound nothing more can be said than to report progress. While but two of the sound properties are shipping ore there has been more development work done on the many other To- cations this year than was ever before attempted, and thes latter properties cover a distance of fully one hundred miles, extending from Montague island to a point near Valdez. Much work has been done along this stretch of country and will. if continued, produce big shipping properties.

vALDEzl The most wonderful

VALDEZ! The most wonderful town in the United States. It was practically organized in 1898, by a sturdy lot of men and women who came here from all parts of the Union, and who had previously come from all parts of the world. They recognized the advantages of the head of navigation, if anything should later be struck, and for three years held up the town against the most adverse circumstances, having nothing to support them but their faith in the country and money from home. Finally gold was found on Slate creek and cop per in the Chittyna country. Since then there has been one con tinuous run of strikes, both in the interior and along Prince William sound, and the discoveries have been of such magnitude as not only to fully justify the faith of the early mushers, but to mystify the outside world. Men of large experience in the mining world admit having never seen or heard of such finds as are reported from Alaska; hence the statement that is made in Stevens copper hand book that Alaska produces a won- derful crop of liars. That is prob ably the hardest knock Valdez gets from outsiders, but we need pay no attention to that. The greatest harm comes from the constant knocking it is getting from some of its inhabitants. There is scarcely an occurrance of real or immagi- detriment to the town, but that highly exaggerated account of the same is sent to some home paper. If some little log cabin, built in the bed of stream, is being washed out there is sure to be some smart Alec anxious to see his handiwork in print, who will take a photo graph of the s-ene and write an account of the incident, making it ten times worse than it was, and this later shows up in some paper Tn the states, under glaring head lines, much to the detriment of the town. Every little occurrance that can possibly be contorted into knock is faithfully reported, and still Valdez continues to do busi- ness and give satisfaction, even to the knockers, who constitute fair percentage of the inhabitants. It IS an easy matter to connect some of the published photographs of the late glacier flood with the people who took them, and ina warmer climate it would be case of driv- ing them out of the town, but here, fortunately, we are very cool headed. When one stops to think of the way in which this little town has been knocked during the past five years, and not only holds it's own but continues to improve, is it any wonder that we consider it Phenominal? As a staunch resi- dent of the town truly stated "If Chicago the same percentage of knockers it would, in five years, be a deserted city"
