ALASKA GEOLOGICAL WORK IN
 lQ0-


 The work of the Geological Survey during the summer of 1907 was confin- ed to a detailed study of the copper deposits on kasaan Peninsula. Dur ing the mouths of May and June a topographic map of this area was made by Mir. D. C. Witherspoon and Mr. J. W. Bagley. During July and August Mir. c. W. Wright and Mir. Sidney Paige mapped the geology of the pen insula. and in September and October Mir. Wright made study of the ore deposits.
 X statement of the results of this work and summary of the mine de- velopmeuts will be included in a re- port on Progress of investigations of Mineral Resources of Alaska iu l9oI." to be issued about the first oi June. A general report on the ketch ikan and Nvrangell mining districts, with maps by Messrs. F. E. and (. w.

MINING PROGRESS IN SOUTH
 EASTERN ALASKA IN 1907

Mining developments in southeast
 ern Alaska during 1907 has been the greatest in the Ketchikan district,
 where several copper mines on Prince of Wales island are being exploited. says Mr. c W. Wright, of the United States Geological Survey, who has re- gently returned from Alaska. Mining
 was actively advanced on this island in the psripg and early summer, and considerable low-grade ore was pro- duced each month, but most of the mines suspended operation in Septem- ber and October, with the fall of the price of copper, and the expected in- crease :n copper production for 1907 will not be realized. Many of the mines that were forced to discontinue operations were in good condition for profitable production at the time they closed, and at some it was rot the price of copper alone that caused sus- penison, but unfavorable conditions as to labor and transportation.
 The copper occurs in the form of chalcopyrite, either in irregular masses associated with magnetic, garnet, and epidote at the contact O intrusive rocks with limestone, as at the Mamie, Mount 4 Andrew, and Jun. bo mines, or in the form of lenticular bodies associated with pyrite, quartz. and calcite along shear zones in the states and greeDstones. as at the Nib lack and other mines.
 Developments at the damie mIne disclosed new ore bodies on the lowest level, and considerable ore was ready for extraction in the upper levels at the time operations closed. A similar condition existed at the Mount An drew mine, where large ore reserves were being developed and plans for more extensive operations bad been made. At the Rush & Brown mine the copper deposits were being ex- plored 100 feet below the present working level, which is 90 feet in depth, and the results were encourag- ing. Though the developments at the Jumbo mine and Niblack mine are still being advanced and good ore bod

HOW THE RACE LOOKS.

According to the associated press.
of the 254 delegates selected to the
Republican national convention in
March, Taft has secured 200. There
will be $50 delegates with 491 neces-
sary to choice If Taft keeps up that
ratio he will have 400 of the
first sos, with 472 left. out of
which to draw the additional 81.
He will do better than this. There
will be more delegates chosen in April
than in March and the lead Taft has
maintained makes him the favorlte in
the race. The fellows who like to
pick the winner will flock to him.
Then. both Illinois and Indiana, which
have favorite sons and in which Taft
refused to allow his friends to inter-
fere. chose most of their delegates in
March; and as the untrammeled south
and west begin to choose delegates:
the Taft majority will grow apaee.
All disinterested observers concele
his nomination on the first ballot.

THE Truth ABOUT
KIDNEY TROUBLE.

Kidney trouble is Inflammation OF
the kidneys due TO colds. exposure,
worry. excesses in eating and drink
irg. etc.
Backache is seldom an evidence Of
Inflammation of the kidneys.
Smokiness or sediment that can be
seen with the naked eye are not usu-
ally evidences of very serious stage
OF the Inflammation. Both often show
in people otherwise well and common
ly disappear with the exciting cause
The patient should diet, avoid colds
and live carefully and the ordinary
case of kidney trouble will with care
and treatment usually disappear 1.-The
FIST few weeks.
If II persists, or there should be
continued evidence of disordered kid
neys. II should demand the attention
of the patient in view of the position
taken by medical writer's that about
the sixth month the infammed condi-
ton becomes chronic and incurable.
II will be seen through all the
above that the real trouble Is inham-
nation in the kidneys. While there
are many kidney stimulants they
have been abandoned by physicians.
for they now know that none of them
carry repair to inilamed Kidneys.
The late John J. Fulton was the
first man in the world TO discover an
emollient that reaches the kidneys.
II reverses the old treatment. In
stead of irritating the in1amsi kid
neys with stimulants, the effect Is the
gradual reduction of the Inflammation
and for the first time kidney disease,
both in the first and second stages, Is

Compound abatlng the Inflammation

WASHINGTON is FOR TAFT.

The wishes of the Republican party,
certainly, and probably those of all
but slender minority of the people
of the state of Washington, received
expression in the resolutions adopted
by the members of the Republican
state committee recommending that Il
delegation instructed for Taft be SEM
to the national convention at Chi
cago. says the Seattle Post-Intelh-
gencer.
These resolutions were lnprece.
dented. so far as this state is con
cerned, though they are in accord
with action, in other Taft states.
State committees have heretofore re-
Trained from declarations of princi-
pies. That the new step has been
taken Is due to the urgency of the
people who desire that there shall be
no mistake as to their wishes.
The resolutions were also nearly
unanimous. Only three voices were
raised in depreciation of Endorsement.
and the vote of the committee as
shown on the record has only one
negative vote.
The members of the state commit
tee represent every county in the
state and give fair indication of
political sentiment. After yesterda,
there can be no doubt. .
The people of Washington want a
of Roosevelt policies and
they want the executive to be Will
