MOTHER OF GOLD is FOUND
.schilkoot Jack" Returns to Civiliza-
ton with Sensational Story
Of Discovery.

Victoria, B. C:-'"Chilkoot jack" hero
of two sensations in the gold annals Of
the new north, has brought to the coast
the story of still another gold discov-
cry. Jack is an aged native, widely
known from Ketchik to Unalaska. His
story was told to Col. George Kos
trometinoff This Is the news of the
find:
Every year for generations the Stick
Indians Of southeastern Alaska have
gone up to the headwaters of the Stick
inc river from Wrangel to trade with
the Indians who live in the interior Of
British Columbia. About 20 miles down
creek they found the Indians with
whom they traded, but they had no time
for barter. They were all packing off
immense quantities Of gold in big and
little nuggets. Every effort was made
to keep secret the location of the find,
but the visiting Indians managed to dis
cover it.
Not far from where the interior In
dians were met there had been great
landslide on the side of the mountain.
The slide apparently was recent and it
had uncovered a, deposit Of gold gravel
far richer than the best ground of the
Klondike-when twas in its height.
"Chilkoot Jack" says he knows moth
ing Of quartz, but he knows gold, and
there was more gold in sight than he
had ever seen before in his life in the
north. The find is about rs miles from
Diss creek and intelligent Indians speak
of it as the mother of all the gold in
the north"

Photographers Have Three Sided
Camp Which Affords Excellent

0reenville Junction, Me.-The CAM
era as an aid to a certain class Of
hunters is being probably used here
by two brothers who furnish them with
misleading photographs to show their
friends at home.
AS q site for their studio the broth-
ers chose spot short distance from
this village in place as wild as can
be found hundred miles further
north. There is camp built like
those found in the woods, but with
three fronts, or, rather, three of the
sides are arranged like fronts of camps,
all different. These are the back
grounds. Then there are stuffed deer,
moose, birds and bear galore, hunting
costumes and all kinds Of camp para
phernalia.
Two classes Of customers patronize
the photographers. First come spu-
rious sportsmen, who buy deer of
some guide and then start for home

In making up tales of adventure, which
they supplement with photographs
showing themselves, rifle in hand, be.
fore a camp with deer and moose
strung up before the door. The second
class is composed of real sportsmen
who have had no cameras in the
woods.
AS Tor the spurious sportsmen, they
go to the Studio" where scene is
set for them in short order. They pick
out the front of the cabin they prefer
and a rough board and quick work
with the brush produce sign, "CamI
Comfort" or ''Nimrod's Home" OF
any other old designation. Stuffed
deer are brought out and hung up, and
II necessary, hunting logs are lent tc
the sitters. Then "supers" are called
IN to make up hunting party. Tho
photographers press the button and do
the rest.

TOO MUCH CANNED CORN.


Lapcrte City, Ia-Towns in Iowa
that boast . canning factory are learn
Ing ct present that there are other
circumstances than discriminating
freight rates that work hardship in
the manufacturing field, the companies
having great dificulty in disposing Of
the supply Of canned corn.
The large number of canning fac
tories built in Iowa in the last two
or three years Is said by men most "a
miliar with the situation to be the
cause of the difficulty. A few years
ago q great ambition to manufacture
seized Iowa colonists, and corn was
the raw material found in largest
quantity that could be turned into the
finished product and for which there
was market.
Economists pointed to the great
gain that could be made by Iowa peo-
pie II the corn that was then canned
in eastern factories and shipped back
to Iowa consumers plus the freight
could be canned in Iowa by Iowa la
Dor. The theory was put into prac-
tice, and in short time Iowa was
canning an immense amount of corn,
great deal of which was shipped. But
the pendulum swung too far-the fac.
tory business was overdone.
1t is learned from good authority
that. IL new canning factories were
erected in Iowa last year. Many are
now being built. II the statements
OF the men now in the business that
the present congestion is caused by
overproduction are true, what will be
the result when half of the factories
now built are in full operation? To
prevent loss to the manufacturer a
new market must be found or the
product of the factories must be put
to different use.
