 A Prolific Conntru
 Nature has been exceedingly pro- life in her gifts to this section of Alaska. Aside from the alluvial de- posits containing gold, the chief necessities for gold mining are ax hand. Timber for fuel and minirM purposes is abundant along the creA $5 banks; food stuifs in the form of ami maj life and wild berries may be ob- tained for the seeking, and the eli mate is not severe. V
 The geology of the country sug- gests to the trained observer the ex- istcnce of gold placers, being com posed of mica schist. limestone, and slate. Intrusive dikes of greensboro and diorite are also noted. To the Alas kan prospector formation primarily composed of mica schist and lime stone is always considered worthy of careful investigation, for in like form- ations practically all of the great gold camps of the north are to be found.
 The logical gateway to the dig gings from the outside is by way of Valdez, thence along the government trail to Gulkana, and from thence branching off on a trail which leads directly to the new camp.

Ore Is ChiseIed From Moun- tain Side Which Is One
 Vast Copper Deposit.
REGULAR SHIPMENTS MADE
Most Famous Red Metal Ledge in Alaska Is Located on Pic
 turesque LatOuche.

Beatson's Bonanza on Latouche is- land is the real thing in Alaska cop per mining but it runs along summer and winter with so little fuss that most persons forget it is there except when they call at the dock on a steamer. Yet it is valued at $1O, ,OOO, GOO for the ore lin sight," and sum not far from that figure has been re- fused by it's owners.
 This remarkable mine has an ore body 300 feet and nobody knows how deep into the hill it runs. It is blocked out in two directions with tunnels. Unlike most mines it is not worked by shafts. It is strictly an outside mine. The men who work it simply tear off the ledge matter from the side of the hill where an ex- pansiye face is exposed. Down this the miners slide ore, gangue and country rock, q few 'horses' being stabled in the huge vein.
 At the bottom of the workings the ore is sorted, for be it known only ore of good grade can pay transpor- tation to the outside and smelter charges and leave a profit. The ore shipped from Beatson's mine to the Tacoma smelter runs from to 10 per cent copper, with q trace of silver. The lower grade ore is showed into huge dump to await construction of a smelter or concentrator in the vic inity.
 Millions In Copper
 Beatson's Bonanza was located July 4, 1897 by Andrew K Beatson and others. It began shipping stead fly about 1902 and it's output in 1907 through the Tacoma shelter was 1,O2O, GOO lbs. copper and 5000 oz. sill yer. It usually employs about thirty men, all work being done by hand. The owners do not contemplate work ing it any other way so long as the profits are largely eaten up by trans portation and shelter charges. When the ore can be reduced at home at a

FRENCH SITUATION is ACUTE
Labor Organs Say Time Has Come for
Another Revolutionary
Struggle.

PARIS. Aug. 2.-The excitement among
the labor leaders In Paris over the outcome
OF the recent outbreak at Vigneux and the
governments intention to forever crush
such demonstrations is generally recognized
as having reached feverish, IL not dan
gerous state of unrest. Whether the situa-
tion will grow worse it is hard TO say, but
1t should be recalled that the history Of
French labor movements generally show
that turbulence quickly dies out. How
ever, at this moment, the revolutionary
branch of the unionists is working up to an
unusual pitch on account OF the shooting
down by the troops at Vigneux of the dem
onstrators and the arrest OF various labor
leaders.
The government is sternly endeavoring
to prevent outbreaks on Sunday and Mon
day, when a second strike called by the
Federation OF Labor. Is due to take effect.
great majority Of the French news
papers continue to unequivocally condemn
the laborites for the Vigneux riots, but
some OF the labor organs. especially the
Guerre societe, the mouthplece Of Gustave
Herve the anti-military agitator, insist
that revolutionary period has arrived
and that the hour has come for a bitter
conflict between capital and labor.
ToULON, Aug. 1.-The unionists OF Tou
lon have voted to support the Partisan
laborites, which indicates that there is a
possibility that the labor troubles may
spread to the provinces

MANEUvERS AT FORT RILEY
Hot weather Delays Troops EnrOute
20 Annual Drill at Brigade
Camo.

TOPEKA, Kan, Aug. 2.-Most OF the 10
900 troops which will participate in the an
nual maneuvers at Fort Riley, from August
Is to September Is. are now ON the march
and are expected to reach that fort some
time during the maneuvers. One regiment
OF cavalry and one regiment OF artillery
are already at the fort. These maneuvers
are considered the most important held in
the United states this year
The heat is telling upon the soldiers,
making 1t impossible for them to cover
long distances. The Thirteenth regiment,
United States infantry, arrived here after
marching for four days from Fort Leaven-
worth. The regiment spent Sunday in
camp here. getting rested as much as pos
sble. The hike will be resumed Monday
morning. A corps Of engineers Is one day
ahead of this regiment and is carrying
with II the apparatus used In erecting and
using a large field searchlight. which will
be used in the maneuvers to locate troops
and search the field by night. The light
will enable the troops to see ten miles to
detect the enemy.
The regiment consists Of about 1900 men
and is under the command OF Colonel
I4oughborough. 1t is divided into three bat
talions. While at Fort Riley the engineer
corps will throw a pontoon bridge across
the Kaw river under as nearly as possible
! the same circumstances as would exist in
| actual warfare.
! The 10000 troops to participate in the
maneuvers come from Iowa, South Dakota,
Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas points.
The maneuvers will be about the same as
in 1906, and will consist OF dividing the
forces into two armies, the blues" and
the Browns" and arraylng them in vari-
Gus formations against each other in the
working out Of warfare problems. Both
federal and state troops will participate.
Secretary Of War Wright will probably
visit the fort at the time OF the maneuvers
and inspect the troops.

WIN FiEht County Option,

SIOUX FALLS, 8, D., Aug 2--(Special.) y
II has Just been discovered that during
the present week a meeting was held IN
Sioux Falls by representatives Of sixty
Of the largest brewery establishments in
the west. presumably for the purpose OF
perfecting plans for combating what Is
known as the county option law. which
will be sumbitted to the voters OF South
Dakota at the election In November.
The temperance people OF South Dakota
have planned TO wege an aggressive fight
for the proposed law. and in self -protec. ion
the brewery interests have been forced
to take an active part and endeavor to
defeat the law at the polls. The repre-
sentatives OF the breweries met In execu-
tive session and nothing definite is known
as to the proceedings, but Il is natural 70
suppose that plans were laid for an ag-
gressive fight against the county option
law.
lt hes become known that the brewery
interests will encourage a strict compliance
by retail liquor dealers throughout the
state with the terms OF the present state
liquor license law. in order to make the
law as popular az possible.

NEW YORK, Aug 2-John Mitchell, the

ment OF the National Civic Federation at

planned tonight in an interview what he
hoped to accomplish in that office and out

effects OF the Civic Federation.
II ana hopeful that through the trade
agreement department OF the Civic Fedora
tion, relations win be established between
employers and employees that Will be con-
ducive 10 their mutual advantage" said Mr..
Mitchell Il believe these efforts will re-
celve the approval and practical support OF
organized workingmen ans the large en-
ployers Of labor.
1T will take time to demonstrate the
practical billty OF the work. think I will
like the work. While retain the posi-
ton OF vice president OF the American
Federation Of Labor, my whole time and
attention will be devoted to the trade agree
ment work. My interest in organized labor
is the same as it always has been. Four
months ago I returned from the Mine
Workers union, and l am free to take up
my new duties
Il feel that can render more real ser
vice TO the industrial forces OF the country
in this position than in any other. As
labor becomes thoroughly organized, and
when employers and workingmen perceive
and adopt the collective bargain or trade
agreement mediation, strikes will become
fewer. II they do not cease altogether"
Just what his plans would he he de-
clined to say, asserting simply that he
would try TO make the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON a power for the maintenance OF In.

Peter Karageorgevitch ascended to the
throne of Servia after the assassination
Of King Alexander and Queen Draga in
1903. His two sons are Prince George
heir apparent to the throne. who was
born in 1887, and Prince Alexander, who
was born in 1888
For some time the report has been cur
rent that Prince George is mentally un-
balanced and various of his escapades have
been cited as proof of this. In 1894 the
young prince fled to Vienna with Mile
Deschanska Georgivitch with whom he 4
said to have been infatuated but was
brought back to Belgrade the next day
when his father welcomed him with open
arms and forgave him.
The next year he was reported to have
shot a man. One version OF the affair was
that he had killed a would-be assassin
and another that he had accidentallv shot
gamekeeper. In 1905 It was said that by
order of his father the young prince was
imprisoned for offering gross insults to his
tutor.
When in 1906 Prince George read news
paper articles declaring that he was insane
he is said to have rushed to the Foreign
| office and burst into the room of Premier
Pasics shouting, "Oh, you dog, you intend
to confine me, your future master? I'll
kill you. I'll trample upon you. you can
allie"
The premier had great difficulty in pact
flying him. He then is said to have pro-
ceeded to the press bureau where he re-
vted the director and compelled an official
denial that he was insane to be sent out
| When he returned to the palace he III
treated his younger brother. Last year a
report was in circulation to the effect that
Prince George intended to visit America
with the intention of seeking wealthy
wife.
