Grandpa Bender Sick.

Grandpa Bender. father oil
Theodore Bender residing out on
their farm on the Washington
avenue. has been quite sick dur
ing the past two or three weeks
and his recovery is now consld-
cred somewhat doubtful on ac-
count of the age of the man.
Grandpa is now nearing his
eighty-ffth birthday which if be
lives will occur during the month
of March. His illness now is
due largely to a general break
ing down of health. During the
summer he injured one of his
lin bs and the wound never heal
ed. Just before Christmas he
was taken sick but would not
give in and it was not until last
week that he finally went to bed.
Now his old injury is beginning
to trouble him again and his con-
dition is now considered serious.
He has always been a very active
man and hardly knows what it is
to be sick. Despite his advanced
age he has until recently been
great worker and takes pride in
being able to boast of the amount
of work that he is able to do.
He was almost as active as man
of middle age.

years ago when he was struck by
a bucket and knocked off the
platform to the deck of a boat be-
meath. The fuel company short

what he should have had. Attor-
ney Linley of Superior repre-
sented Charron in the case. It
has not been decided yet whether

One million dollars in virgin gold
that will sink automatically every
night into a steel vault to reappear
with the same precision in the morn
ing will be the central feature of the
Alaska exhibit at the Alaska Y Yukon-
Pacific Exposition next summer.
Piled in glittering heaps of dust,
nuggets and bricks this brilliant dis
play, will be one of the greatest at
fractions on the Exposition grounds.
The gold pavilion, where the million
dollars will be on display, will be
enclosed with ? heavy wire cage and
special guards will patrol the Sec
tion night and day to protect the
treasure.
The large steel vault, built in solid
concrete, will operate automatically
on time lock. Each night at the
closing hour the two tons of gold
will disappear and the steel and con-
crete top will slide into place leav-
ing nothing in view but the smooth
surface of the floor. The time lock
will be set for the opening hour in
the morning when the treasure will
reappear. The construction of this
vault will cost $34, 900.
In the gold exhibit are three of
the largest nuggets ever found in
Alaska. They we're taken from the
famous Pioneer mine at Nome and
the total value of the three is slight
ly in excess of $87, 900. 1t is pro-

nuggets arranged so that visitors
may pick it up and the big yellow
lump will pass through thousands of

and gold bricks for the display and

ion of the Alaska building several
days in advance of the opening of
the exposition on June /. A portion
of the gold is now in safety deposit
vaults in Seattle.
Every claim and pr 'spect in the
four divisions of Alaska contributed
not less than an ounce of gold to the
display and the Seward peninsula,
Tanana River. Copper River and
Southeastern Alaska are all repre-
sented. In addition to the gold
many of the mine owners of the
Nome and Fairbanks camps will al
SO have samples of pay dirt, gravel,
bed rock and black sand. The exhi-
bit will be in excess of two tons of
pure gold, just as it was washed
from the ground in the north.
