MOSES DEATH FIGHT
REVEALS GOLD DEPOSITS
TO A LUCKY HUNTER

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 15.-Oscar T.
Nelson, formerly manager of the Fairy
land Skating rink at Bellingham,
WASH, writes to relatives in Spokane,
from Fairbanks, Alaska. that by kill
ing a bull moose near Fairbanks creek
he and his partners, Washburn and
Johnson, prospectors, have come into
a fortune by the discovery of a vein Of
gold, uncovered by the longhorn in it's
death struggles. The animal was shot
from a blind" at a distance of $50
yards, the first bullet striking a vital
spot.
While quartering the moose. Nelson
discovered that the rock, which had
been exposed from under a layer of
moss torn loose by the animal, bore
gold in large quantities. The hunters
made a closer investigation with their
magnifying glasses and Immediately,
staked out several claims, on which
they filed at Fairbanks. Nelson says
the rock bears a high percentage OF
gold. A rush of miners from Fair
banks followed the discovery.
Nelson adds that the animal is be-
lieved to be the famous Anaconda
moose, which was frequently seer by
miners operating the creek. The spread
of antlers is a little more than seven.
feet and the carcass weighed 1900
pounds.

Ehree-Fourths of Reserve Fund
Gathered Within State to
Be Invested Locally.

Sioux Falls, s. d, Dec. f2.-With in
Gutntiai support behind it, a bill Will
be introduced in the approaching ses-
sion Of the South Dakota legislature,
requiring nonresident life insurance
companies to invest in South Dakota
securities IS per cent OF their reserve
fund on South Dakota policies. II is
estimated tnat IN the last IS years the
life insurance companies ave received
about 100000 in premiums from
South Dakota, and now their annual
receipts from South Dakota are near
The million mark. 1t is estimated that
a law Of this kind would mean the in
NeSt1Gent OF about half a million DOL
l&rs in South Dakota every year.
1t Is argued that the West needs life
insurance funds for its development,
more than the East for speculative
ventures. In South Dakota it is nee
cSs'lE 10 pay from 6 to 10 per cent on
farm mortgages, and It is asserted that
If the life insurance companies gave
south Dakota Il Chanc to borrow their
funds under such a law, the interest
rate would fall. Such a law has been
in force in Texas and the insurance
commissioner of that state, in response
to Inquiry from South Dakota, stated
the law mas proved very satisfactory to
Texas.

Wislemstad. Curacao. Dec. i6.-The.
Dutch cruiser tSelderland captured the.
Venezuelan coast guard ship Alix out
side of Puerto Cabello. The Dutch
flag was hoisted over the Alix, the
crew of which was sent ashore.
Naturally the people of Curacao,
who nave long been clamoring for ac-
tivity on the part of the Dutch gov,
eminent, are greatly rejoiced over this
evidence that Holland has at last be-
gun active measures against Nene-
zuela, but the government of Curacao,
discussed the incident as follows:
The capture by our warships of
coast guards and war vessels is not
to be considered an unfriendly act
against the N~enezueians. 1t is merely
q reprisal against Castro's government.
which refuses to give satisfaction for
his unfr1endly acts toward Holland.
The seizure of these vessels will make
1t impossible for the Venezuelan gov.
eminent to carry troops or ammunitions
to and from the various ports.
