James Kelly, 80 years old, a resident
of Old Bridge. N. Y, is probably the
Oldest living pugilist. Kelly became
famous in 1856, when he defeated
Jonathan Smith with bare knuckleS
in a fight that took place at Mel
bourne, Australia. 1t took 1O4 rounds
to decide the question of supremacy,
the men standing in the ring under
broiling sun for six hours and fifteen
minutes. Kelly was so severely sun
burned that he spent several weeks
in the hospital before he was able to
move. He was born in ireland, and
in his time travelled with the old glad
iators, like Heenan. Sayers, Yankee
Sullivan, John Morrissey and Tom
Flyers The old fellow is still in good
health and attributes his long life to
his early athletic training.

What's the Use?

One of the most successful novels
d. Appleton e. Co. have published in
recent years is Nancy Stair" by
Elinor Mccartney Lane. It's sale now
is more brisk than it was during the
first months after it's publication.
Therefore the Appleton salesman was
grieyed at hearing the following dia
logue between a woman purchaser
and a book clerk:
Woman-I want copy OF Nancy

madam, but We have none on hand

have taken some pains to secure cor
rect estimate of last years gold har-
vest in Alaska. I refer to the season
beginning October Is, 1904, and end
ing October Is, 1906.
AS to southeastern Alaska, COM
prising the panhandle" and the Al
exander Archipelago, l believe it is
safe to place the value of the output
at $2,500,000. Most of the gold pro-
duced in that region comes from the
famous Treadwell quartz plants on
Douglas Island. In 1902 ]. H. Curle,
of London, a mining engineer of rec
ognized standing, after personal in
spection, stated that these mines were
at that time treating over 5000 tons
of ore day, the value of the ore be-
ing eight shillings a ton. This calcu-
lation would produce a total for 1902
of something like $2,128.6SO. 1t is,
however, known that the yield of the
Treadwell mines has been steadily
increasing. Besides, there are other
producing mines in that part Of Alas.
ka. My estimate of $2,5OO,00O may be
too low.
AS regards Seward Peninsula, I put
the past seasons gold crop at $4,5OO,.
600. According to reliable private
advices the amount would have been
at least $1,50O,O00 higher but for ear
ly frosts, which cut the season short,
and unsatisfactory weather conditions
generally, such as insufficient rain
fall during 1905. Sixty miles of wa
ter bitches have been constructed
during the past season, dredges and
hydraulic machinery introduced, and
it is confidently predicted that next
years statistics will show a notable
expansion of the gold mining industry
in the Nome region.
In the Tanana Valley during the sea-
son of 1904-5 they washed out gold
to the amount of $6,750,OO0, tremen-
dous increase over previous returns
II should be remembered that the Ia
mana Valley camps are hardly more
than three years of age. Conservative
residents of Fairbanks, including
bank officials. believe that the 1906
6 season will prove a still greater
surprise, as much new and rich coun-
try is being opened up. especially in
the Kintishna district. which borders
upon Mount Mckinley. A vigorous
new town is growing up in the latter
district under the name of Roosevelt.
Perhaps a majority of the Tanana
Valley prospectors are former Klon-
dikers.
Counting the gold output of smaller
camps, especially in the Yukon basin,
I find that the total output of gold
in Alaska for the season just ended
exceeded in value the sum of $14,OOO,-
OO0 as compared with $9.O67.325 for
1904. and as against $6352,62S for
1923.

Henry M. Rae, manager of the Drake
properties, was in the city yesterday
on his return from Kendall and gave
out the good news that the contract
had been let for sinking a shaft on
the North Moccasin at Kendall. The
work is to begin at once, and when
the shaft is down, the company will
drift over to the body of ore struck
by the diamond drill. An electric
hoist and other equipment for hand
ling this work have been ordered,
and the undertaking will be carried
out with as little delay as possible.
The North Moccasin is looked up
OH by many of the best informed
mining men of this section as one of
the very best properties at Kendall
the very best properties in Kendall.
Ii lies directly between the Kendall
and Barnes-King, and comprises an
empire of ground. The work here
tofore has been purely in the nature
of exploration, and, as before stated,
this has resulted in finding splen
did body of cyanide ore, carrying
such values as entirely satisfy Mr..
Drake on his last inspection of the
property. This vein is not what is
known as the big Kendall blanket
vein, although that undoubtedly pass
es through the North Moccasin, but
the showing on the property as it now
stands is such as to warrant the COM
pany in sinking, even though nothing
more should be found. which is not
likely to be the case.
The Kendall Gold Mining Co., oper-
ating the famous Kendall mine at
Kendall Fergus county, has just de-
clared a monthly dividend of cents
per share, or $1,000, to be paid to
stockholders today. This is one of
the smallest dividends of the past IL
months, and it is stated that the COM
pany will pay dividends aggregating
at least $225,000 for the year 19O6.s
A majority of the stock of the com.
pany is held by Finch & Campbell,
of Spokane, for themselves and clients,
but much of the stock is held in Mon.
tana, particularly in Fergus county.
It is stated that dividends paid by
the company aggregate more than the
price for which the property was pur.
chased by the corporation six years
ago.
Consul Ravndal, of Dawson, Yu-
kon, furnishes report in which fig
ures are given of the gold output of
