structed a launch for the Fairbanks

quehanna river, it is claimed de-
veloped speed of between 2S and

Alaska is Coppered

That Alaska is soon to lead all other countries in the production of copper is written on the wall, No other mines in the world are so rich as those in this Northern country. The build ing of one ortwo railroads to the inter- for will revolutionize the mining of copper. And what does all this mean? We give you herewith little inform ation which will enable you to figure just what it means.
 If copper ore bears l per cent copper it has 20 pounds of copper in 1000 pounds-one ton-of ore, and for each per cent when copper is p cents per pound you will see that there is avalue of twenty times 9 cents or $5 per ton fo, per cent copper, and each per cent of increase in the copper per ton means $5-while it was only $2 for each per cent when copper was 10 cents per pound.
 Now take mine that is shipping 1000 tons of ore per day for 36O days in in the year. See how fast it runs into the millions of dollars in it's gross earn ings.
 One thousand tons daily of 4 per cent copper at $l9.2O per ton equals $l9, 9,2OO per day, or $6,9lO,OOO per year.

Danville Choral Society Disbands.
anL af I,lasanl Il. n,unn tkn Nauen

At meeting held last Thursday
evening the Danville Choral society
disbanded.
The Danville Choral society was
organized after the memorable rem
dition of the oratorio, "Tbe Holy
City" in Danville and Bloomsbury
a short time ago. The meetings
of the organization, however, have
not been well attended, and la
mentable lack of interest is given
as the reason for the discontinuance
of the organization.
This seems TO be always the case.
Bloomsbury has had the same ex-
perience. A number of times
choral societies have been organized
and have done good work, but in a
short time they languish and die,
principally because the members
lose interest and will not attend the
rehearsals regularly. There are
always a few faithful ones, and
they are usually people whose time
is most occupied. They tire of
going to rehearsals to find only a
handful, and the thing goes to
pieces. Why is it?

of the fire is unknown.

Plans are going rapidly forward for

county, to be held at Rupert Grove

planned by Superintendent Evans in
the interests of the schools, promises
to be big success.
The picnic will be for everybody
directors, teachers, pupils and patrons.
The Bloomsbury State Normal School
faculty and students will be invited.
The choice of grove was particularly
happy inasmuch as it will be central
to all parts of the county. The Column
bia County summer school, then in
session, will attend, having it as one of
their three excursion days.
1t is expected to secure reduced rates
on the trolleys and railroads.

New York and Back in a Day.

There has been some talk lately
about the d. l.. & w. r. X. put
ting a train on that will leave
Northumberland early in the morn
ing, reach New York about noon,
and returning, leave the city about
4 o'clock and arrive here about
midnight. There is no question
but what such a train would be a
great convenience, and there is not
much doubt but that it would be
literally patronized. Business men
could spend four hours in the city,
and return the same day. Parties
could return home from Wilkes
Barre after attending the theatre
there.
Now there is practically only one
train a day to New York on the
Lackawanna. and that leaves here
at Io:4I a. m, arriving there at 5
o clock, too late to do any business
that day.
The matter seems to have gotten
far enough along, so that if the
residents of the towns along the
line show any interest in it, or in
dicate a desire for such a train. the
company will probably put it on.
This is good scheme for the
Chamber of Commerce to begin
operations on. Berwick is circula-
ting petition for the train. What s
