that when his father was assigned to

'EIe Buffalo WaIlONYa.

A curiosity of tie Jams IS Tie bufra,

buffalo in them for years, but tl.ey are
the same tot>.y as they We're genera
tons or even centuries ago. They are
no longer freluen;ed by cattle, of
course, and therefore not freshly worn,
but they remain to this day barren and
black amid the vast plain of living
green. In the spring they stand full C.
water until the advancing summer sur
aevaporates it, and then they are bar
rem and black again. They are perfect
circles, some large as Il circus ring and
their basins are packed firm and hard
by the tread and roll of many genera
tons of the bison. Another recol.ec-
ton here of this extinct race is the
buffalo birds, which abound in great
numbers. Their function now, as in
the time Of the bison, is to pick insects
from the backs Of the cattle Which
feed on the plains. Sometimes twenty
or more feed on a steers back, while
the steer calmly and with evident
pleasure munches buffalo grass.-Kan

NAME THREt IN THE LEAD
Alaska Is Worlds Richest
 Country

"The discoveries in Alaska within the last year have demonstrated beyond s question that Alaska is richer iu min eral wealth than any other section of this globe. Within 20 years more than SlOO. .OOO. .OOO annually will be produced in the north and that will be added to as the years go by for decades on de- cades." Those were the words of R. p. Elliott, one of the largest mining operators in the Kloudike, who has just returned from a trip to the Tanana and who is on his way to New York.
 There is enough mineral wealth ln Alaska" continued Mr. Elliott, "If it were extracted, with which to buy any 10 states in the American Union with all the wealth they contain. Of that l have absolutely no question.
 "The Tanana district is wonderful. This year ;t produced S6,5OO,OOO and it was not until October, 1904, just one year ago that they began practical min. ing there. Next year it will produce O,OOO, 900.
 The Kantishna is also wonderful section of @ wonderful country. It is shallow, from few inches to eight feet, ard will be quickly developed. Then there are the two Dellas, the Salcha- ket, the Bouuifeld the NoviSakat aud the headwaters of the Koskokwim. The area of placer gold fields in Alaska, extending from the Klondike to Nome, is so immense that iJ is alrost incom- prehensible. It will be 100 years be- fore the placer gold will be extracted from the district
 Mr. Elliott thinks the Kondike has reached its lowest point as an annual producer and that each year in the future will see more gold taken from that country than the one before. Mr. Elliott predicted that there would be a decrease of S3,OOO,O in this years pro- duction from that of last year and the facts justified the prediction. He says he is willing to risk the reputation made by his accurate estimate last year upon the proposition that next year will see a substantial increase.
