The Killing Pace
St. Louis Republic.

st. Louis Republic.
False living by the moderately
we'll to do was the theme of a
St. Louis pastors Sunday ser
mon. 1t strikes a note that ap-
plies to. the modern pace by
which our daily existence is be-
ing measured. Money burns the
pockets far more in this genera
ton than it did in the former
one and those who are burning
it seem to belong to that portion
of the population which we term
American as distinguished from
the naturalized citizen.
The idea of having earned the
right to spend money does not
appear to be very clearly asso-
ciated with the American de-
mand for luxury, especially
when there is no good basis for
affording eXtravagances.- BY
common assent, the moderately
fixed person is known frequently
if not generally to be living up
to his income. He is perilously
near debt most of the time or
else the margin between his ex-
penditures and savings is to mar
row to permit a comfortable
feeling of security. The feeling
of an imperative need for con-
slant strain in order to keep up
with the procession is what
makes the killing pace in Ameri-
can life. :
A little study of the combined
thrift, economy and absolute de-
termination of our naturalized
citizens not to buy what one can
not or may not be able to pay
for probably will save the Amer
lean from deteriorating mental
ly and physically in his abnor-
NAL race to survive constantly
increasing demands upon his re-
sources. Evidences of a realiza-
ton of our driving civilization
are found in the publicity given
to nervous breakdowns among
those who have achieved what
we call success at the expense of
their health and very often of
their lives. If we could proceed
on the theory that the more saw
ed the more we are entitled to
rest, the American might then
claim that he had learned to live.

Mover Denies Orchard Story

Boise, July l0-Charles H. Moyer' president of the Western Federation of Miners and one of the men accused of the murder of Steunenberg, was a wit ness in the Haywood trial for the de- fense today. He denied Orchards story in toto so far as it charged the federation officials with complicity in the crimes which Orchard confessed. He denied that he ever counseled vio- lence or wrongdoing of any kind in the contests with mine owners in any state or at any time or for any purpose what ever.
 The defense has undertaken the task of trying to impeach James Me- Parland the Pinkerton detective, who secured Orchards confession and has directed the gathering of evidence for the prosecution. An effort was made yesterday to show that Mcfarland has manufactured testimony in the case.

MUMMY BAY COPPER
 KEEPS LOOKING BETTER

E. R. Gray says development work is active around Mummy bay, Knight is land and work on all the properties is producing good results. He says there will be several copper mines there be- fore the end of the year.
 The Prince William Sound Develop ment Company, in which Mr. Gray is interested, is driving a tunnel not far from the water. On this claim face has been stripped forty feet wide and twenty feet high and no walls have been found. It seems to be simply a huge bed of ore, and while walls must certainly exist somewhere the ore body is believed to be of enormous width and depth.
 In this ore body, Mir. Gray says, about three-fourths is ore, waste and gangue matter constituting the re- mainder. All the ore is belng saved and will be shipped, it's value having been shown by repeated assays to be above the average of Prince William sound copper ore. Mir. Gray brought over additional specimens which have been placed in the display window of the Seward Commercial Company.

RAILROAD MEN
 FIGHT BATTLE
Bruner Crowd at Katalla Loses Disputed Point After Pick
 Handle Scrap.

A battle with pick handles and other big and little sticks was fought at Katalla July 2 between the opposing railroad forces at the place where the Copper River X Northwestern proposes to cross the track of the Alaska Pacific Terminal, or Bruner company, over the objection of the latter. The for mer company won the battle and de- molished a bunkhouse which stood in its way. Several men were badly beaten, the worst sufferer being Black Sullivan, we'll known in Seward, who was badly mauled with pick handle yielded by brother Hibernian, Mike Sullivan. The two Sullivans led the opposing armies.
 Different accounts of the battle are given, some minimizing the scrap while others say that the slugging was something fierce. The Bruner crowd had 150 men while the attacking force was twice as numerous. It was tC keep out the other road that the Bruner company recently applied for an injunction, but the application was denied on the hearing by Judge Wick ersham at Juneau.

Seven men working on Poor Mans creek are cleaning up 100 ounces every two days. This is the latest report from the little bonanza "pup" of the upper Kahiltna. Several men came to Seward yesterday direct from the region and state that the claim the lucky miners are working shows constantly better. It is small creek, however, and miners who have seen it predict that the pay streak on the rich claim will be worked out this season.
 Miners on some other creeks are getting good pay but nothing else so far this year has showed up anything like Poor Mans, except Nugget, per hapS, where most of the money came from last year in that district. No exact returns have come from Nugget, although it is said that Herndon and Jacobs are doing we'll there.

Say They Will Give Up Contracts Rather Than Transport Dust
 Except by Express.

Skagway, July 8-Two million dol lars in gold dust received by mail from Fairbanks today consigned to Seattle was refused by the steamship compan- ies here. The companies declare that they would rather forfeit their mail contracts than carry mail containing gold dust for less than express rates.
 The gold consignments were made by mail because frst-claSS postage on the metal is lower than the express rate of the steamship companies. The gold is sent in small registered packages. The determination to send gold in that way was made after an effort to secure lower express rate had failed.

FINDS COPPER
 EAST OF BAY
William Redmond Makes DlScOV' cry of What Appears to be
 High Grade Ledge.

Fragments of copper ore picked up by William Redmond across the bay this week indicate the existence of a vein of copper of indefinite value and probable of high grade. Mir. Redmond brings over specimens of two kinds, one of which he calls copper bromide, as it is often known among miners, and as azurite in the glossaries; the other a copper oxide, which would pass for silver oxide but for it's green copper stains. So closely does it resemble silver oxide that Redmond thought it contained large percentage of silver but an assay showed very little. Both kinds of ore carry a little gold.
 The blue carbonate ore is green un- ;iI exposed to the air, when it turns blue. It is very similar to malachite, or green carbonate, which retains its color. It is a very high grade ore. Nr Redmond is a quartz miner of wide experience and familiar with all kinds of mineral. It is his belief that he has probably struck something rich, although he conseryatively says it is only a prospect,
 No we'll defined vein was found but the ore specimens were found over a width of loose rock averaging fifteen to twenty feet, which was easily traced for 1900 feet. It lies above the property of Burchey and Simon in the canyon straight east of the Seward dock and on the slope where the num- erous speciments of copper float have been found that have kept prOSpectors busy for several years trying to find a ledge. The Redmond discovery has started squad of prospectors across the bay. Redmond himself returned to Seward last night from second trip, after locating five claims.

BUILDS INGENIOUS BOATS
 TO RUN ON YUKON RIVER

Two novel boats are tO be launched ip Dawson soon. William J. Chance IS building them. One is a mammoth Doling boat, which will be used in carrying supplies up the ForWmile river to Chicken creek, and the other is a steam catamaran.
 The polling boat is trim round bot toned craft. with sturgeon nose and canoe stern. It will have a carrying capacity of ten and one-half tons, and can be handled by three men. Possibly twin screws and power will be put in the craft later. For thirty miles along the FortymiIe tow can be taken from the shore.
 The catamaran which Mir. Chance is building is a novelty and perhaps will mean revolution in certain lines of steamboating, The catamaran is n craft with two hulls. The hullS are set parallel, with a space of sey- eral feet between them. The shaft carrying the wheel will work between the hulls. Mr. Chance claims that this will be an advantage in several ways, one of which will be imposSibllity to overturn the craft, and another of nav igating with light craft when carrying a comparatively heavy load. A twen- ty- horse power engine is coming for the catamaran. The initial catamaran will be sixty feet long, and will carry Len tons of freight on a one-toot draft. MT. Chance says the catamaran should he able to ascend very low streams. - Dawson News.
