Former Minister RisIey, Who Forsook
Diplomacy to Find Tin in
Alaska, Visits Los
Angeles

To travel 1000 miles over land and
sea is a little thing to do in exchange
for the privilege of voting for William
Jennings Bryan.
So thinks John r. Risley, FORMER
minister to Denmark, prominent New
York attorney and now mining man
of Nome, Alaska.
Mr.. Risley has just arrived at the
Alexandria from Nome where he is
heavily interested in some mines that
give promise of producing great
wealth.
Denmark the first four under Cleve-
land and the last under Mckinley.
He was the only minister in Europe
to return to America for the sole pur-
pose of casting his vote in the cam
paign of 1896 and he says If Bryan
is nominated as the next presidential
candidate he will travel pretty hard
in time to cast another vote for him.
Il know Mr.. Bryan personally and
l believe him one of the finest men
in the country" said he.
ut is one of my greatest hopes that
/ viii have the chance to vote for
him again and I believe 1 will.

other than New York ] will travel
pretty hard to get there in time to
vote for him.
81 think he would make a great pres
ident, for he is man of grea ability
and unquestionable honesty"
Mr.. Risley has passed the summer
in the far north looking after some
tin mines which he expects to make of
great valu to America.
Heretofore about one-fourth of the
tin used has come from Cornwall and
Devon in England and the greater part
of the other three-fourths from Malay
peninsula with a slight output from
Bolivia and Australia. In Alaska and
The United States there has been min
ing of almost every kind, but tin has
been an almost unheard of metal, or
where 1t has been discovered it has
been in such small quantities that II
would not pay to mine.
Mr.. Risley thinks he has a propo-
sition that will pay i great abun-
dance.
Tin Is Scarce
Tin is the only metal today which
Is not produced In quantities great
enough to SUI" the manufacturing

been steadily rising in the New York
maraket until II has gone from q

step into the first place when the leader begins to
show signs of exhaustion. Then the latter falls
back and trots at the side of the sled until he is
rested. The good leader balks at dropping back
to position among the workers. rule absolutely
refusing to move step when he is reduced from the
leadership.
In that position he must not only be a master
in finding the trail with unerring instinct, though
even ''sourdough musher's" long experience
proves unable to follow its crooked course, but he
must also know every tone of his drivers voice as
he shouts his cabalistic orders, the tone in which
the command is given meaning almost as much
as the spoken words. Thus Come over haw!''
uttered in a quiet tone means Swing little to
the left" while Hawl in a sharp, imperous shout
means a sudden and complete turn to the lett.
Between these two tones lie many others, IN
which the veteran leader becomes SO well versed
that he obevs the order with nicely that seems
almost incredible. With such dog the musher'
NAV take no liberties, for if he shouts Hawi and
reglects to veil ''NIush" when the team has swung
the desired length to the left the leader will guide
the sled in a semicrcle until he strikes the trail
again when he will start back the route along
which he has just passed.

he runs alongside the team, ne tres at
every opportunity to push his head
through the vacant collar. After
awhile the 'mushcr" lets him return to
the harness, and for days he is one
of the hardest workers in the team.
The LATEST cur that ever attempted
to shirk his share of the trails toll
Yields Immediately to such treatment,
when a brutal beating would make
absolutely no impression on him, If
indeed it did not make him worse.
Though only common workers, the
dogs behind the leader take a certain
pride in their positions, and one which
has been broken to a certain place IN
the line sometimes will refuse to pull if
he should happen to be transferred.
There are three broad divisions
among the dogs of the North: the
tricky medium-sized ma1amute, a wolf
dog, whose cunning face is distorted
bv a sarcastic grin; the fierce husky,
also a wolf-dog, an animal of tremen-
dous strength and vicious propensities;
and the "outside" dog, the last divi-
sion, embracing all the CANNES taken
North from civilized countries.
The malamutes have gained the
widest fame of the three, their name
being so closely linked to the interior
that one suggests the other, They
are hereditary workers, their ancestors

and the British Yukon in Indian and

he can trot at the
head of the line as a
full hedged leader.
Still he may be a
master of the lam
guage and learned in
the wisdom of the
trail, yet be only a
good leader. To be-
come a great leader,
he must have all this
knowledge, and in adj
ditiOn possess re-
sourcefulness, cum
ming, sagacity and a
grit that will not

Mail team Italian Bob of the Northwest Mounted
Police and Bonnie of the Forty1nile Trail-dumb
beasts, but possessing wisdom and courage truly
heroic.
To the training of leader the 'musher" gives
his best efforts the undertaking being requiring
patience and TACT as well thorough knowledge
of the WAYS of the trail. Sometimes the young dog
and veteran are harnessed together to sled, and
the older animal in obeying the shouted command
teaches the novice the meaning of each order; or
the dog is simply put at the head of team and
forced to learn by actual experience. Some gain
the knowledge in weeks time or less, while Others
are not so apt but in the of the former it must
be remembered that the Northern dog lives IN
atmosphere of ''mushing" in consequence often
picking up considerable knowledge of trail language
before the end of his puppyhood.
Behind the leader in the team come the labor1ng
dogs, whose only requirements are brute strength
and grit They do not need special training the
novice being thrust into the harness and soon
learning his simple duties. The worst punishment
that can befaI these workers, from their views
point is to be taken from the traces and not allowed
to help in hauling the sled. To them 1t is worse
than the severest whipping, and when one has been

Prof Fess. whose lectures have

one of the features Of the entire

teresting historical things of that
and a later period. In the discussion
of the Civil war. Prof Fess held up
to his audience Generals Grant and
Lee and his Characterization of these
men of genius were of superbIy eIo-
quent
During the afternoon session Prof
Fess's subject was "a Study in CT
vics" and Prof. ZubeIia talked on
tSocialbility."
Prof Zueblin made no attempt to
define sociability. He devoted his
time to an explanation Of the ele-
ments which enter into it and by dis
cussing the good and the bad which
exist in some of them. The family,
the speaker declared. was the great
social unit, but the industrial world
which had such great influence upon
the home, and therefore upon the
family, has its high place among the
influences which develop and effect
SO greatly, the social life of the peo-
pie.
Institutions and organizations
were touched upon, and the inf1u-
ences of each analyzed. The race
question, the womens clubs, the
lodge and the saloon were held I'D as
important features which have
great influence on the quality of so
liability
'.The man most CONSPICUOUS in So
ciety,' said Prof Zueblin. lis the man
who has the widest range of synpa-
thy for mankind: the man who has
infinite qualifications for the love of
his fellowman.
Exclusiveness in any sense was de-
plored by the Chicago University pre-
fessor, and he saw more good, infin-
itely more good. in the crowded fac
tory, where hundreds and thousands
of persons are thrown together, than
in the sparsely settled communities
where there is no opportunity for
this great comming1ing of persons,
and the exchange of views and ideas.
The influence of the industrial insti-
buttons upon society were regarded
as most profound. The ethics. the
habits and the thoughts of men are
derived largely, the speaker said,
from his occupation. and hence the
most CONSPICUOUS influence in our So
cial life is the factory system. With
It's diversified evils, Prof Zueblin de
clared, at any rate had one great
fact that men are brought together.
The conditions of women and chill
lren wage earners, whose numbers
are increasing, were discussed. Dras- |
lie laws are needed, tn speaker con-
tended, to prevent the employment of
who are mothers. for the ma |
-ernal responsibilities are neglected |
