 Seattle-Forthe first time in history the proof of the fact that Siberia and Alaska were once joined along the Aleutian chain will be on exhibit at the big Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition at Seattle next year. This fact, al though surmised for long time, has only been scientifically established in the past two or three years. It was in 1906 that E. M. Kindle and J. M. Bar nette, of the United States geological survey, visited the valley of the Yukon. In the course of their search they dis covered several specimens of fossil inverteb ebrates which do not exist in any other portion of the continent of America, but which do exist in Siberia. This does point conclusively to 8 for mer junction of She two continents. According to the recently issued re- port of these scientists it was not known before that these fossil which they discovered, existed on any DOT tion of Che continent of America. A number of the best of these relics of former times, which are to be exhibited ! at the 1909 Exposition in Seattle were dug from the mud at the bottom of a river bed by the two scientists with the greatest difficulty and labor.

Millionaire Takes No Rest for
 Seven Years

Seattle--A few days ago the city of Nome, Alaska, was startled by an an nouncement, which without an expls. nation sounds quite simple and com monplace. It reads as follows: "John Grosth intends to take holiday. He will visit the Alaska Yukon-Paci Exposition"
 John Grosth Is probably one of the most remarkable men on earth. Ger tainly he has acted in way that no other man on all the continent of America would have acted under simi- lar circumstances. The story has it's human side too, and illustrates anew that frontier country like Alaska has many odd characters within it's bor- ders.
 When Nome was started seven or eight years ago one of the tlrst-comers was John Grosth, quiet man who attended strictly to his own business. He went out some miles to gold bear ing country which has since been nam. ed New Jerusalem. It is on the Solo, mon river and within forty miles of Nome.
 Like everyone else in the North, Grosth searched for gold. And like few others his search was successful from the first. Within few months he struck it rich, and in years time be became millionaire.
 That was seven years ago and ever since Grosth has become steadily rich CT. But every morning, just the same, he shoulders bis pick, goes to his mine and works his eight to ten hours. And yet in the banks of the North and of the United States are great piles of yellow gold that stand in his name and that would open to him the treasured things of America, and the older world, would buy for him luxury such as the kings of earth hundred years ago did not dream. In all that time he has not even taken trip forty miles to Nome city. His average daily expenses do not run over two dollars which, for the Northlsud, where office boys get S125 and s150 month, is extremely low, and yet Grosth is not miser for hs has contributed largely on several occasions to public oauses. Himself is the only one he stints.
 But he is coming out at last to spend his gold. Who knows what disappoint' ment in life he may have met with, who knows what has caused him, to deny himself pleasure. But whatever it Is or might have been, it is now past, and John Grosth will be one of those present on June let, 1909 in Seattle, when the President of the United States will touch gold button and sassh across Che continent the electric spark that will open wide the Alaska -Yakon-Pacific Exposition.
