Alaskan Copper Deposits.

The increased demand for copper and its prevailing high price have re- gently attracted much attention to the copper deposits of Alaska. Three regions in the Territory give promise of making important contributions to the copper market-Prince of Wales Island, in southeastern Alaska, Prince William Sound, and the Cop per River-Chitina River region. The first two, which are near the sea, have produced copper for several years. but the third, which lies inland, is still in the prospecting stage.
 A report on this region, by F. H MofTt ana A. G. Maddren, has just been issued by the United States Geological Survey as Bulletin 374, which may be had on application to the Director of the Survey at Wash iugton.
 The report includes an account of the geography and history of the region and ofits general geology, as well as notes on the copper minerals and ores, the source and character of the dep lsits, and detailed descrip- tions of the various properties, and is accompanied by geologic and topo- graphic III 1ps, graphic geologic sec tiOus, and reprOdu ctiOns of photo graphs.
 A section of the report is devoted to the gold deposits Of the region.

Would Import PhedSantS.

Chinese pheasants may be intro duced in this country for sportsmen.
 In a communication to local hunt CTS, J. w. Wheeler, one of the wealthy citizens of Seattle, who is a winter resident of Tucson, states that he is willing to contribute his share for the importation of Chinese pheasants into this country if local sportsmen or the board of superVis ors will also bear portion of the eX- pense.
 Mr. Wheeler in his letter states that the only condition he would re- quest is that law be passed prohibit ing the killing of the pheasants for d period of four or five years.
 He suggests that a hundred birds be purchased at a cost of several hundred dollars and turned loose in Pima county under the protecting arm of the game laws He is of the opinion that the pheasants would thrive we'll in this country and that within a short time the numbers would be increased until they will total in the thousands as the birds multiply rapidly.
 He says that not only do the pheas ants afford fine sport for hunters but they are also excellent game birds.
 The matter of importing the birds will be taken up with local hunters nd if is ot1ita nrOh hle th1t SOme action will be taken looking toward cooperation with MT. Wheeler for the importation of the Dheasants. It is believed that there would be no difficulty in securing the passage of a law prohibiting the killing of the birds for a certain period of years.- Tucson Citizen.

Prizes Will Total $4,5OO in Gun
 Tournament.

To arrange for the program of events at the tall meeting of the Southwestern Sportsmen's Associa- tion at which prizes, aegregating $3, 300 will be contested for, the mem bers of the Tucson Gun Club held a session last week at the offices of the Chamber of Commerce.
 This tournament which is annually the biggest shoot pulled off in the Southwest, promises this year to eclipse anything heretofore given.
 It is estimated that at least 100 visiting sportsmen will be in the city and these will include the crack shots of Phoenix, Prescott, Nogales, Bis bee, Douglas and Globe in Arizona; Albuquerque and Sante Fe in New Mexico; and Fl Paso in Texas. In addition to the amateur marksmen there will be experts present repre- senting the leading gun manufactur- ing and powder houses of the country.
 The tournament will continue for three days and the big prizes that will be offered will make it one of the most important journeys ever held in the Outhwest.-Citizen.

Copper Smelling

Copper smelting on the converter principle was tried at East Butte, Montana, and failed. This was the Baggaley process. The Knudsen process, in Norway, is said to yield good results, but it is manifestly limited to a narrow range of ores, and the costs in America would un- doubtedly equal those of pyritic smelt- ing. The Fink process is not yet a demonstrated success. The merit in the Fink idea lies in turning over the concentrate by the revolution of the barrel-shaped converter, so as to eX- pose the material to the action of the flame; in short, it means smelting with continuous rabbling. Perfection of detail has not yet been attained. The combination of conversion with this initial melting is of problematic value. Unless conversion, once started, can carry the matte up to blister copper, ready for the refinery, it has no practical utility. There is d field for such an appliance in the handling of concentrate, but con verter-smelting of ores has no reason for existence. If an ore lend itself 10 simple pyritic smelting, the blast
 furnace possesses manifest ad- vautages for inexpensive treatment.

Sl,OOO,OOO DeaI in piaaI Mines.

The interests of the American Mines S5 Exploration company in the Gila and Ray Consolidated companies and their copper properties have been purchased for $l,OOO, ,OO0 cash by Bernard NJ. Baruch of New York.
 Robert D. Grant is president and Philip Wiseman. the first general manager ofe the Shannon Copper Co. of Clifton, and general manager of the American company, which has offices in the Central building in Los Angeles.
 The properties of the Gila and Ray companies are in Pinal county. In the last two years the properties have been developed on an extensive scale, and it is estimated that more than 9, 100000 tons of copper ore has been exposed in the workings of the mines.
 Plans have been prepared for the establishment of d 5O0-ton reduction plant.
 The sale was made in New York by Grant, who was in that city for sev- eral weeks. He is now at Williams port, Pa, where he formerly resided, and is expected to return to Los An geles in a short time.

Historic Relic of Rare Interest at
 Seattle.

At the Alaska-Y Yukon-Pacific ex- position at Seattle is displayed a relic of rare interest to the lover of things historical. It has story to tell of the days when the Revolution ary war made friends of Benjamin Franklin and General Lafayette. It will be rene embered that after the close of the struggle which brought America liberty, Franklin visited France and was there entertained by Lafayette. The Frenchman asked the American for a parting token of friendship and Franklin gave up his favorite walking stick.
 A wealthy resident of New Haven, while travelling in France a few years ago, discovered the cane in the possession of the present Marquis Lafayette, to whom it had descended as an heirloom. After much urging he induced the marquis to allow the stick to be returned to the land of the original owner.
 University of Pennsylvania authorities heard of the return of the walking stick, and as Franklin was founder of tn 1t institution and closely connected with the history of the state, they in turn induced the New Haven man to turn the cane over to them. It was presented formally to the university in 1908, with a speech by then secretary of war, Wm. H. Taft, and is now on display in the in exhibit at Seattle.
 The cane is dark brown in color, with an ebony head, and the initials ''B. F." are carved upon it. The age of the walkingstick is estimated at a bOut I50 years

Bones Of Prehistoric Beasts at Gid
 Pueblo.

The bones of prehistoric animal,
 believed by Tucson scientists 10 be those of a member of the great SauriAn family, were unearthed at Elysian Grove Fast week by workmen in the employ of Emanuel Drach- man. The men were engaged in deepening the water surface at the Elysion Grove, when the bones were discovered, at a depth of about twelve feet.
 Among the remains of the dead beast were portions of the animals teeth. Petrifaction of thousands of years had made the particles ha rder than flint A portion of what is be lieved to be d tusk was also discov- cred.
 MT, Drachman brought the specf- mems to the city, exhibiting them among his friends. He has kindly consented to donate them to rhe terri torial museum at the univer sity, and they will be ldded to the collection there.
 The theory Is advanced that the immense beast G9undered in marshy ground thousands of years 5-go, and there died. A similar discovery of fossils was made some years ago on the property of Dave Harshaw, near the north entrance to Davidson's canyon, in the Santa Rita mountains. It is the general opinion that:l marsh existed at that place also and that the animal was unable to free him. self from the sott soil.
 Numerous finds ot similar character have been made in the territ ory, and in the vicinity of Yuma, several years ago, the upper portion of a mammoth's head was unearthed. Thigh bones. shin bones and other remains of the lower ex- tremities of the animal have also been discovered.
 MT. Drachman states that he will make careful examination in the vicinity of the spring, being hopeful of discovering other bones of the prehistoric beast, extinct ten thous- and years.-Citizens.

Former Clifton Man Will bs Extradited.

-Sheriif Henry Thompson, of Globe, left that city last week en route to Edmonton, Canada, to return with J. c. Phillipson, wanted for embezzle- ment. PnillipsOn was a resident of Clifton seven years ago and is re- membered by all old timers.
 Owing to the fact that the much wanted man was residing outside of the United States when arrested. some little time may be necessary to comply with the necessary formalities incident to the securing of the re- quired reouisition paperg.
 Sheriff Thompson went to Phoenix to take the first steps toward Phillip sons extradition. It may be that he will be compelled to go to Washing ton, D. C., to secure some of the papers, although this long trip may be dispensed with by the telegraphic approval of the documents by the se- cretary of state.
 After all arrangements have been made for bringing the prisoner back to Globe, it will probably require nearly three weeks for the sheriff to make the trip.
 Little apprehension is felt on the score that Phillipson may escape from the Canadian prison on techni- cality, as a number of telegrams which have been received from the sheriff at Edmonston have failed to state any necessity for haste on the part of the local authorities.
