Found In Placer VaIicy Is Telluride Rich in Gold
 and Silver.
INTEREST OF MINERS
This and Other Struggling Discover ieS Believed to Indicate large
 Deposits In Hills.

An assay of the remarkable ,peci- men of float ore found in Placer valley on mile D of the railroad last month shows that the rock was hessite, OF silver tellurium. and carried tote values in gold and silver exceeding 5000 per ton. The assay was made by Harry Ellsworth, who gives this statement
 Hessite. or silver telluride lAg2 Tc. color between lead-gray and >tccl-gray, cleavage indistinct, compact and very fne-grained Mined in . commercial quantities in Boulder county, Colorado, and in Utah Assay of specimen:
 Silver-lG,l9l oz,, value $lO,52hl5.
 Gold 1925 oz., value $24, ,32O75.
 Total value per ton, S34,S44gO.
 The foregoing estimate based on G5 cents per ounce for silver iS too low The latest quotation for silver received in Seward was 6gg. October lG. and the metal has been rising in value for 30 year.
 This discovery of float Of such extra ordinary richness interests mining men because it is taken as evidence that 30 deposit of considerable extent lies somewhere in the hills above it. Thi, float was found mile below the mouth of Placer canyon, on one side of which lies large glacier from which the an- nual wash of gravel and rock is euor- nous and is gradually filling up ,he valley, assisted by detrituS from the hills on both sides and that brought down by the Placer river.
 Three months ago a small piece of float was found at camp 49. two miles above the big glacier, which carried free gold visible to the naked eye This was not aSsayed. It showed fire action which puzzled the mining men as to its rock composition but the best opinion classed it as silvanite. It was believed to have come from the glacial moraine on mile 50, just above camp 49. Other quartz specimens containing gold have been found along the Placer river, indicating its existence in con siderable quantity somewhere in the hills.

IDAHO DEMOCRATS WILL
 CHALLENGE ALL MORMONS
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Boise, Idaho, Oct. 29-The demo- cratic state committee announces that at the coming state election the democratic watchers at the polls will challenge all Mormons upon the ground that they have no right to vote under the state constitution. The iron-clad oath prescribed by the state constitu- tion, which was intended to disfran- chise Mormons, has been ignored from the beginning. The democrats in- tend to carry to the U. s. senate the fight for the annulment of the Nor mon franchise if the republicans carry the legislature and elect their candi- date to the senate. In that case the democrats will contest the senator's s right to his seat.

 Secretary Root will speak in Utica tomorrow evening, and will then pre- sent by authority the views of the national administration upon the issues of the New York campaign.

PUSH COPPER WORK ON
 PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND

Joseph A. BOurke, @ we'll known min inc man of Valdez and one of the own CTS of the Prospector, who is now in Seward, says that the extraordinary activity in Prince William sound cop per which has been one of the features of Alaska mining this year, continues to grow apace. Development work is in progress on all the islands of the Sound and the mainland on the eastern shore and Mr. Bourke afirms that each month offers surprise in the uncov- ering of deposits. He is interested with J. l.. Steel in the Standard Cop per mine on Landlock bay, not far from Ellamar. The mine will begin shipping within thirty days.
 Mir. Bourke has been in Alaska since 1898, most of the time at Valdez, and is familiar with all the copper fields of the Sound. He thinks the largest de- posits are perhaps at LatOuche island, although the ore is of lower grade there than in other places on the Sound, He believes also that within a short time the copper output of the Sound will bring a. shelter, and that its location will be influenced to some extent by the source of fuel supply
 Mr. Bourke recently bought Dr. Cooks fast launch and came to Seward to arrange for the transfer of the boat to the sound. Dr. Cook left it at Sel-

By Cable to The DOly Gateway.

San Francisco, Nov. Al Kaufman was declared heavy weight champion by the referee at the end of the tenth round of his fight with Sam Berger last night when Berger quit. Berger was practically out and his seconds threw up the sponge. He was given an awful beating.
 The only time in the fight when Berger had any chance was in the third round, when he knocked Kauf- man down twice.
 An effort will be made at once to match Kaufman with Philadelphia Jack O'Brien, who beat him a year ago in his first real professional fight. Kaufman has improved since then and as he is much larger than O'Brien his friends think he can defeat the shifty Philadelphian.

The marriage of Wilson Mizner to the widow of the late millionaire street railway magnate, Charles T. Yerkes a month after the latter's death, was one of the sensations of the year and it was worked to the limit by the news papers. The marriage took place late in January.
 Mizner had been known for several years in Dawson and Nome, in each of which places he subsisted without labor by his winning ways with the women. He was tall and handsome and had fine tenor voice, which he exercised in the concert halls. When he married Mrs. Yerkes he was not more than 30 years old. while she was nearly 50. Stories of fUmily jars over Mizner's money demands were pub liShed frequently for several months but the sensation-mongers of the news paper world finally dropped the sub feet for fresher ''stuff."
 Several Seward citizens knew Miz- ner in Dawson or Nome and were much edifed when they heard that he had captured the rich widow.

While it takes year longer to get at
the actual work of raising the crop,
the most satisfactory way of raising
onions is to summer fallow the piece
on which they are to be sown the year
preceding. This method not only re-
suits in terminating and killing the
weeds that may be present in the
soil, but puts the soil in a much finer
and more mellow condition. More
over, the work attendant upon grow
ing the onion crop is thus vastly SIM
plified and much less expensive.
