McCOvERN ARRIVES
 FROM THE KOYuKUK

J. R. McGovern, well-known old timer in the North, arrived in Panama last Sunday from the Koyukuk, travel ing by dog team and piloted by na- tive. "
 Like every one familiar with the northern camp, MT. McGovern is op- timistic of the country's future. He said new and apparently important strike of coarse gold has just been made on Vermont creek, four miles from Nolan. It is believed this strike will result in the development of much better ground than was heretofore known to exist on Vermont.
 Four parties are sinking on the deep ground on Wiseman. It will take some time to reach bedrock there, the ground being 25O to 300 feet deep.
 The total number of men in the dis trict this winter is estimated at l65. MT. McGovern says supplies are abun- dant and on some classes of goods prices are not higher than those in Panama.
 MT. McGovern is waiting to hear from business associates to determine his course in the immediate future, but says he will certainly return to the Koyukuk sooner or later.

POWERS ACCEPT PLAN.
Russia Credited With Ending Pos
sibility Of Balkan War.

PARIS. February 2.-ForeiSn Minister
Pinchon informed the members of the
French cabinet today that Russia Great
Britain and France are in complete &C
cord on the Russian proposal to end the
differences between Bulgaria and Turkey
by herself indemnifyins Turkey for the
cession of Bulgaria and collecting the
money thus credited to Turkey in peri
ode payments from Bulgaria.
The Turko- Bulgarian deadlock is thus
broken and the war cloud IN southeast
ern Europe has been dissipated by the
acceptance of the plan proposed by Rus
STA, which reconciles in novel manner
the Turkish claim of $24.OOO,OOO and the
Bulgarian offer of SIG, 10000
This plan is based on the war indemnity
of 81. 600, 600 a year. which. in accordance
with the Berlin treaty of 1873 Turkey is
to pay Russ'a for a hundred years. These
payments bear no interest The. Russian
proposal is to remit them until the Turk
ish claim against Bulgaria l., satisfied.
Russia will collect instead SIG, 400, 600
from Bulgaria in similar installments.
These payments will bear interest and
the amount of this interest will recoup
Russia. Bulgaria has formally assented
to this proposal. and the Russian govern
ment has assurances that the plan is
satisfactory to the Turks.

COLD WEATHER FOR SIX WEEKS
GROUND HOG SQUIRRELS BACK
INTO HIS WARM QUARTERS.
Chased in by His Shadow-But
Temperature Is Going UP and Is
Promise for Two Days.

That ancient weather prophet. the
grounding. crept out of its hole early
this morning according to popular be-
lief The first thing the little animal
saw was its shadow as it heightened IN
the light of the winter sun.
Frightened by the reflection the ground
hog made quick dive for it's hole and
dsa ppeared into its subterranean home
This supposed performance of the animal
according to weather folklore and tradi-
ton means six weeks more of cold wealth
er.
Professor Garrett of the weather buI
rtau. who has collected some interesting
data anent the grounding superstition.
says the return of the animal to its hole
on Candlemas day, does not, according to
popular belief refer tc six weeks OF
necessarily stormy weather with sleet.
snow, rain and wind Six weeks OF frlS-
idity fills the bill according to the old
folks belief. Had this morning been
cloudy, tradition says there would have
been six weeks of sunshine and balm.
After Forecaster Frankenfield had scan
ned the weather map this forenoon ne
announced that there was no prospect OF
the immediate verification of the ground
hog prediction as all indications point to
fair and warmer weather for the next
two days at least
Inc minimum temperature ABOUT .
o'clock this morning was IS degrees.
1t is predicted to rise to ABOUT 26 de-
grees by tonight. The mercury began
to slowly climb up the tube after 8
o'clock, and by S o'clock am. had reach
ed the ~ mark.
The freezing weather of the past week
created a number of natural skating Kinks
about the city. One of the most popular
of these was the pond near the Wash
ington monument the frozen suarface of
which was covered by stunt-performing
skaters last night and today.
Other favOrite skating places where the
ice was fro mfour to six inches in thick
were the lake at the Soldiers Home, the
Chevy Chase lake and the ancient mill
ponds beyond Georgetown.

passed out to sea and are now giving the
sailormen north pole experience AS
yet there are no further similar condi-
tions within the horoscope CT Prof. Willis

Big Money in Fertilizers.

From I.esIies Weekly.
Phosphate rock from our southern
states. principally that from Florida, is
the basic component of all manufac tured
fertilizer and il is also exported and eX-
tensively employed by European farmers
who apply it to their soils in it's native
state.
The phosphate business, already large
and extremely profitable, is growing by
leaps and bounds. Experts estimate that
within the next ten years it will assume
immense proportions. 1t must. Rock
or pebble phosphate is the very essence
of plant life, and must necessarily al
ways form the most essential part of all
patent fertilizers. Lands in Florida from
which phosphate is being taken and
ground known to contain appreciable beds
as yet undeveloped. and which. prior TO
the discovery of the commercial POSSIBLE
tiles of phosphate, could have been pur-
chased for dollar an acre. are now al
most wholly Withdrawn from the market,
and the man or the corporation owning
an extensive phosphate acreage is re-
garded as most fortunate.

Coinage Metals.

From the London Chronicle.
The proposal to substitute an aluminium

coinage purposes in this country. For in

in great numbers in 1854. And in Queen

such shortage of small change that
iradesmen and tavern keepers issued

royal coinage was issued which included
silver pennies and three-farthing pieces.
