Circular letters from the chief public

Hirchsberg, asking them to assist in
trying to locate Sternickel have been
freely circulated among, the authorities.
The chief public prosecutor gives the
officers description of the much want
ed man and also tells of the terrible
crime with which he has been charged.
Sternickel was born on May H., 1866,
in the district of Rybnik in Prussian
Silesia and for many years he was a
tramp about the province of Brandberg
and was after several convictions on diff

where he was cremated.
The men separated after committing
the terrible crime and the two Pietochs
were soon arrested and they admitted
that they were with Sternickel when
the crime was committed and they said
that Sternickel got them to help him.
!. Sternickel fled to parts unknown but
was later at the home of his parents
and other relatives in Germany but at
that time the German authorities did
not know that he was connected with
the crime and he was not arrested.

States, it was 700. In 1901 it was 406, while in 1903 Messrs. Lampkin & Co.,, of London, the worlds greatest furriers, sold 463 skins, but they had none in January, 1904, and none again in Octo- Der, 1904 The catch in 1904 fell to about 75.
 It is questian if they can be eff ciently protected, their habits being so peculiar. They are very timid and have a great range of scent, and their only defense, it would seem, is their speed and their sounding abilities. The churn of propeller of passing steamer will drive them for miles and they apparent ly will not frequent the place from which they have been disturbed for some time, may be for years. This, in a manner, may account for the growing scarcity, as they may migrate to less noisy localities. Such being the case it is difficult to establish their habitat with any degree of certainty.
 It is not unusual for sea otter skin to sell for $5OO, while remarkably good skins may bring two, three or five times that amount.-Nome Nugget.

A great temple lined with gold, that shone as the sun, hidden away in great unknown land, presumed to exist, not known to, wus- the sought-for prize of many Spanish expeditions during the sixteenth century. Conjecture had it that this wonderful golden temple ex- isted in the Land of Dabaiba, and this land included a goodly part of south America. No temple of the kind was ever found, vet expedition after expedi- tion made vain search for the golden myth. penetrating into the then vast unknown central south American region and though not having been rewarded by gold, yet they made known to the world the nature of the wilderness vis- ite'i, and thus the expeditions were not wholly fruitless. it was to the search tor this vast treasure that the world is

Valuable fur.Bearins Animal May
 Soon Become Extinct.

Few persons not connected with the fur trade have any idea of the enormous destruction of animal life that takes place each year among fur-bearing ami mals, or of the extraordinary way in which the supply of these animals ap- pears to keep up.
 There are only few species which seem to be verging on extinction; such as the sea otter, the beaver Cover large tracts of country), certain sorts of fur seals and d species of West African monkey.
 Northern Asia and northern North America still produce vast quantities of fur, and from appearances will long con tinue to do SO.
 Perhaps the most valuable fur in the world is that of the sea otter, formerly SO abundant on the shore of the Pacific ocean in Northern Asia and North Amer ica, but now in great danger of extermi- nation unless soon effectively protected.
 Between the years of l772 and l774 about 10000 skins of the sea otter were taken in the Aleution islands alone, and the fur was ST eagerly sought after that at the end of the eighteenth century about l20,OO0 skins were taken each year.

ing the year 1904.
 The most important condition revealed by Mir. Kunz's report is that one gem discovery has followed another in south ern California, notably in San Diego county Among these gems are magnif- icent blue and white topazes, crystals of rose-colored beryl, axinite, epidote and colored tourmalines. The new locality for peridot, olivine, or chrysolite, as it is variously known, at Talklai, Gila county, Arizona, has yielded great quantities of this mineral immediately associated with or inclosed in the volcanic rocks. Thousands of beautiful gems of from to carats have been cut from this ma terial and extensively sold throughout the United States.
