G. A. Singer, formerly manager ot the Iowa, Tiger property at Silverton, Colo, is returning from the East. Of late years he has been operating at Nome, Alaska, also near Whitehorse in the Yukon territory. At the latter point he is managing the property of the Livingston Creek mining company, and has other important mining inter ests near Nome. He will make his headquarters at Seattle during the coming winter,
 Uninformed Americans who are ac- customed to think of Alaska as land of perpetual frigidity, with accompan- ying snow and ice, will read with sur prise the weather report from Fair banks, which shows that the thermom- eter has just registered S6 degrees in the shade. While 86 is not tropical, it is rare that Seattle ever reaches that heat-aud it shows that Alaska, even near the Arctic circle, has the sunshine with which to produce the crops that lately have been astonishing Secretary Nagel and Attorney General Wicker sbam.-EX.
 The possibility that prospectors in this country sometimes fail to recog- niZe tin ore when they find it leads Mining Science to produce simple test for tin given by F. l.. Hess of the U. s. Geological Survey, in "MineraI Resources for l908," whichis as follows: A piece of susp pectad mineral is treated with zinc and dilute hydrochioric or sulphuric acid, preferably the former when, if tin oxide, a coating of metal lie tin soon appears on the fragment Some of the hydrogen gas, given off by the action of the acid on the Zincs unites with the oxygen of the tin ore to form water, leaving metallic tin OF the surface of the specimen! The min eral and the zinc should be in close contact consequently, granulated zinc is recommended, though the present writer finds that zinc shavings also, work we'll.
 The steamship Alameda reached Se- attle recently with 300 laborers from Cordova, who have been engaged in construction work on the Copper Rivey railroad. Most of the men were stiH dressed in their rough working clothest and looked anything but prosperous vet it was estimated that the pay checks in their pockets footed up to over quarter of million dollars. The majority of the 300 had stakes of over LOGO for station work during 1909 and 1910. One man was not so happy as his fellow workmen. He was John Haggkwist. He came down from the end of the line the night before the Alameda sailed. In his pocket he car ried two checks for 1900, representing two years of hard work. He started to CeIeDEaGe HIS tebuRu VO clVl1iAaCAou sh& when he awoke the next morning the checks were gone. According to the rules of the company, Haggkwist wtR have to wait year before he can have duplicate checks issued. and there ie always the chance that bona fde pur- chaser for value may cash the check and destroy Haggkwist's equity.

 While the occasion is not one for aippancy, says the Whitehorse Star, the fact that two big gold dust robber ies, one from the Alaska Pacific express and one from the mail, were practically simultaneous, it might not be out of order to suggest that the "Gold Dust Twins'' have been busy.
 The Canadian railroad commission, which has been in session atVancouVer, has ordered White Pass Yukon rail road, operating between Skagway and Whitehorse, to lower it's freight rate on ore, and to immediately file with the commission a new schedule of freight rates covering general commOd- ities.

Now, in disposal of Willie Upshaw:
He has written me a great, long screed, in
which he sandwiches his Coca Cola editorial,

that equity may be done.
Men and Brethren! Willie Upshaw al
leges that he did not accept the Coca Cola

his seventeen-story marble building, and de-
clared he would give it to Willie, if Willie

else hurtful in the tipple".

WIZ IT Be Senator Vardaman?

I most earnestly hope SO. Vardaman is one
of the public men Of the South who is thor
oughly manly, absolutely honest, and really
capable.
He came within an ace of beating, ON di-
rect appeal to the people, the Hon. John
Sharp Williams, in the Senatorial race of
1907 Even then, it took the whisky men and
the timber grabbers to defeat him.
Vardaman is peoples man, a strong man,
an aggressively Southern eohite mans man;
and his career in the United States Senate
would rebound to the credit of Mississippi
and to the benefit of the great middle classes.
You wouldn't find him obeying the orders of
the marauding corporations.
They kmoao 1t, AND THAT'S WHY
THEY ARE FIGHTING HIM so HARD.

Young men, keen to make money and forge

business is too slow for us. Let others plod,
aoe will plunge. We will bet on horse races,
buy cotton futures, take flyer in wheat or in
Steel Common. We handle other peoples

ton or betting, and replace 1t, qoit75out aqay-

That train of thought is put into the head
of many young man, by the immunity
granted to lawbreakers, whose "pull" prevents
prosecution and punishment.
If Hartman had been punished, for his
crimes; if III. 0. Havemeyer, John D. Rookie

This immunity from the penalties of the

All, you Grand Juries, you prosecuting of

the unsound from contact with the sound, the

Willie further says, that the advertisement
did not suddenly disappear, but ran eight
times, as per contract. He further alleges
that he has accepted another advertisement of
Coca Cola.
$50, you will again see the open-Bible adj
of Dr. Broughtons religious books alongside
the ad. of the Asa Gambler hell-brew.
Willie further says, that he had not seen
the Golfers outrage on the white womanhood
of the land, at the time he wrote Golfers the
testimonial which criticised.
This lets him out, of course Had he writ
ten me to this effect months ago, he would not
have had to carry fostering wound SO long)
With some asperity, Willie denies that The
Golden Age is a sectarian paper. Well, [ do
DECLARE!
Why, on its gorgeous frontlet, IS the dec
laration of the purposes OF The Gotden Age,
and among these I find, ''Piety in the Home"
Then sermon, by a Baptist clergyman, IS
regular part of the contents OF the paper
Then I find, at the top of the Editorial page,
the announcement that The Golden Age is
Successor to Religious Forum" Then on the
staff, find a Baptist preacher, acting as s'Pul-
pit Editor" Then | discover that a sSun-
day-school Lesson" is printed, as regular
feature Consequently, [ got the idea that
The Golden Age was a religious paper. But
Willie says it amt. Not knowing of any re-
igious papers that are not sectarian, and hon
estly thinking that The Golden Age was re-
hgious, jumped at the conclusion that it was
sectarlan.
But as Brother Len would say, "went off
half-cocked"; and now must admit that The
Golden Age is not SO religious as | honestly
took it to be. We all make mistakes, you know
Willie states that DR.. Broughton has no
hot T2o A70
save that he supplies it with copy of his
regular sermon.
In that case, the term pulpit Editor" is
enormously used, is bound to mislead, and
should be discontinued. The word "editor"
necessarily implies editing; and to hand In
weekly copy of a sermon IS not sedsta1'g''--
as every member of the profession knows it.)
Thus, have gone over the different sub
iects of Willie's letter, using the language Of
moderation, and giving him the full benefit of
his points.

No. usually, the wreckers of banks are men
of education, good family, and comfortable
circumstances. Generally, they are enterpris

wish to make more They have an idea that
criminal statutes were intended to catch poor
devils who have no property and no rich

Easy for Home Seekers to
Buy Merced Farms

A unique selling plan has been
worked out by the Cooperative land
and trust company of San Francisco
for disposing of its land in Merced
colony. ]. s. Cone. manager OF this
concern, in speaking of the new plan,
says:
We believe this proposition val
prove very attractive to the home seek
er. although we admit it's operation
will involve some risk 10 ourselves.
Briefly, our plan is as follows: The
buyer pays down a small per cent of
the purchase price in cash, but the
balance may be paid from the proceeds
OF one-third of the crops. This ar
rangement makes il possible for the
man of small means to establish him
self on farm and to make his pay
ments in proportion to his success
That is. If he has a bumper crop the
first year he may be able to pay of his
entire indebtedness; or, If the first
years are Jean years, his time OF pay
ment is automatically extended"
