King Edward Loses His Claim.

Had he but preserved the life Of a
mining claim that was decided to him
about two years ago his Majesty King
Edward VII would now be on a fair
road to increase his private fortune by
the addition of a considerable quantity
of virgin gold taken fresh from the
auriferous gravels Of the Yukon
It was on February TO- 1903, that Mr..
Sparkling, in spirit of generosity and
loyalty to his King, determined to deed
to his Majesty the Eureka Creek claim,
upon which the depth, breadth, extent
and richness Of the pay streak were yet
to be aScertained. So a Quitclaim deed
was made out wherein J. K. Sparling
was nominated as the party Of the first
part and King Edward VII as the party
of the second part. 1t was duly signed,
sealed and acknowledged, 81 was paid
for the recording of the same, though
the regulations were violated In not
demanding the date and number Of his
Majesty's license, and to-day the book
Of records for Eureka Creek shows the
transaction to have been made in due
form and in perfectly proper manner
This is the last entry in the book The
work required by the regulations has
not been performed and the claim is
open to relocation. In other words,
any old sort of a man may Jump his
Majesty's ground and he will have no
more redress than the commonest. most
itinerant of his subjects, and posterity
might have forgotten the fact that
their sovereign was at one time their
neighbor had it not been for the per-
sistent prospecting of those who own
the adjoining land, which is very valu-
able.-Yukon World.

Queen Draga's MarginaI Notes.

1t is said that just before she was
murdered Queen Draga had been read
ing a book of StendhaPs DE
PAmour." One of the assassins, not
well acquainted with French litera-
ture, picked up the volume and said
to a comrade: Just the sort of thing
a shameless women would read!'
The other worthy had some literary
taste, and, examining the book, was
very much struck by the notes in the
queens hand on the margin of many
a page. According to German
paper, he wrote to a friend this in
teresting confession: What moved
me most deeply was not my share of
that horrible drama, not the sight of
the mutilated corpses, not the ferocity
Of that bloody night, but the revela-
ton in this little book of certain
nobility In the soul of this ambitions

had caused me to misjudge."-London

GREAT SLAUGHTER
FOR SAKE OF FURS
Yet Only Few Species of the Animals
Seem in Danger of Extinc-

Few persons not connected with the
fur trade have any notion of the
enormous destruction of animal life
which takes place each year among
the fur-bearing animals or of the ex-
traordinary way in which the supply
of these animals appears to keep up.
There are only few species which
seem to be verging toward extinction;
such are the sea otter, the beaver
over large tracts of country, certain
sorts of fur seals and a West African
monkey Northern Asia and Nothern
North America still produce vast
quantities of fur and will long con-
tinue to do SO.
Perhaps the most valuable fur In
the world Is that of the sea otter. for
merly abundant on the shores of the
Pacific Ocean. in Northern Asia and
North America, but now in great
danger of determination, unless it
shall soon be efficiently protected.
Between 1772 and 1774 10000 skins
of the sea otter were taken in the
Aleutian Islands. ana the fur was so
eagerly sought after that at the end
of the. eighteenth century 10000
skins were taken each year.
The result of such destruction could
not be doubtful. The number killed
soon fell to $4,000 each year, and in
1867, when Alaska was sold to the
United States. it was 700. In 1901 it
was 406, while in 1908 Messrs. Lamp
son & Co. of London sold 463 skins,
but they had none in January, 1904,
and none in October. It is not un-
usual for sea otter skin to sell for
$500, while remarkably good skins
may bring two, three or five times
that price.
The only skin which approaches the
sea otter in value is that of the black
or silver fox. It is said that good
skins of the black fox have been sold
in st. Petersburg at from $500 to
don sold for S2400, while a. single
skin is said to have brought $1,000.
The Arctic foxes known as white
fox and blue fox are in great demand.
In 1908 Lampson & Co. sold more
than 10000 white skins and nearly
300 blue ones. Both these skins
seem to be increasing in value. 1t is
not long since the price of white
fox skins ranged from 81 to $4. They
are now said to be worth from SIG to
S25, while the price of the blue fox
skins runs from $50 to SIS.
Almost $4,000 wolverine skins were
sold in London last year at prices
ranging from 81 to SS for good skins.
OF Russian sable nearly 10000 were
sold, or three times as many as were
sold in all London in 1891. These ex-
pensive furs range from 81 soto SIS
in price. but occasionally skins are
found which bring from $3.50 to $3.50
each. The Siberian sable, which is
much more abundant-more than
100000 skins having been sold last
year-is an inexpensive fur, worth
only about SO cents apiece.
Mink and marten are cheap furs
and bring low prices, but the best pine
marten bring from 81 so to $12 so.
Otter skins again are costly, as are
beaver, the supply of which, as has
been said, seems to be failing.

Origin of the Monocle.

The proposal to permit the use Of
spectacles to British soldiers is a re-
minder that from their prohibition
came the monocle, according to The
Buffalo Commercial. About a centl,rv
ago an army order was issued forbid
ding officers to wear eye glasses or
spectacles. But a short-sighted officer
belonging to crack cavalry regiment
had no mind to resign his commission
or stumble blindly, and he invented the
single eyeglass- When called to ac-
count by the authorities he claimed
that the monocle, being Of the singular
number, did not contravene the order
against spectacles and glasses in the
plural Red tape accepted this literal
rendering Of the law, and, becoming
popular in the British army, the mon
ocle was adopted by civilian beaus.-

weeks ago DR.. Luther was riding on a

His clothing was stained, his linen
soiled, his hair unbrushed. His face
was pallid and his eyes were bloodshot

trouble was. DR.. Luther, fresh and
vigorous from his bath and his good

MOST EXPORTERS PREFER
GOLD IN SHAPE OF RA'
How the Supply Keeps Up-Stories
of the Assay Of


In each Of the last four weeks an
nouncement has been made that tba
Governments supply of gold bars had
been exhausted Yet a few DAYS after
each assertion 1T was announced that
the assay office would furnish from
$5o0,00o to s1,00O,OOO more in bars
for shipment to Europe. This has
puzzled many people not familiar with
the Government practice of manufac-
turing bars for export purposes. In
busy seasons from $75O,OOO to ST.
100000 week Is turned out IN large
bars at the dingy little assay office
adjoining the subtreasury In Wall
street. These may be made from
ore from foreign coin, even from yes-
sells and ornaments sold by private in
d1v1duals to the Government for cur

ployes of the assay Office sometimes
yield a large amount of gold dust
when burned. 1t often happens that
the old clothing Of the men Is i'm

BOERS MAY TREK AGAIN
TO GERMAN EAST AFRICA
Plan OF Dissatisfied Burghers to Get
Permanently Beyond England's
Hated Reach.


The Dutch farmers in South Africa
began to trek away from the Eng
lishmen as early at 1886. 1t was not
so much that they objected to them as
neighbors; what they couldn't stand
was the English Stiffness and meddle-
someness about the blacks whom the
Lord had delivered into their hands.
even as the Canaanites were delivered
into the hands of the children of Is
rael. When their Kaffir slaves were
taken away from them by the eman-
cipation of 1893 the angrier of the
Dutch farmers felt that they owed 1t
to their resentment to trek; the Cape
was no longer any place for them.
They inspanned and made off to and
across the Orange River. The history
of those parts during the next thir-
teen years is largely a history of Boer
treks. In 1S4S came the great trek
under Pretorius, the crossing of the
Vaal and the founding of the South
African republic.
The South African republic is now a
memory, and some of the sturdy men
of the farm who were its burghers in
peace and its sharpshooters in war
have begun to develop symptoms OF
the hereditary treking fever, it ap-
pears. Last May Boer congress at
Pretoria sent committee to take a
look at certain practically unoccupied
=
brother of General Botha was mem
ber of it.
He tells the Usambara Post that the
things seen and hear delighted the
committee. Between Mount Kiliman-
jaro and Mount Meru are several thou
sand square miles of rolling prairie
as fine a grazing country as heart
could wish, with plenty of choice spots
for farms. The German authorities
are reported eager to welcome the
Beers, and deal literally with them in
the matter of homestead allotments.
They say that there must be. taking
highlands and lowlands together.
10000 to $4,000 square miles of good
land awaiting settlement. To the
Deutsche Welt a former Governor,
General Won Liebert, has written:
Every one who knows the country
in the neighborhood of Kilmanjaro
will follow with the deepest interest
the proposed opening of this region by
Boer immigrants. / believe this pro>
ject will have the highest Importance
for the future of the colony This
movement of the Beers should he
facilitated in every way, and we shall
be able to learn much from them as to
the best methods of introducing Ger
man farmers also into East Africa. .
All of which creates presumption
at least that Edward VII is about to
lose some thousands of valuable s,,h-
jects-who talk Taal but read Dutch
Bibles and sing Dutch hymns-out
