Quartz Mills in Alaska.

Alaska has produced more than 200
million dollars in gold since 1868. So
far only placer gold has been mined,
except at Treadwell; but new quartz
mining has assumed first importance,
and quartz mills are going into Alas
ka in great numbers. For more than
decade the trail to the interior was
lined with weary men carrying their
packs and stumbling along over rocky
Lodges now found to contain more
gold than the distant placers. AS the
great quartz mines in the Sierra Ne
vadas succeeded the placer camps of
California, so the quartz mines of Val
DEE are succeeding the famous placers
of the interior. There is no healthier.
happier nor more promising prospect
for young man of energy than the

PRISONERS ATTEMPT
TO BREAK CITY JAIL

daring attempt to break out of
the city Jail on the part of Richard
Kennybrook was discovered yesterday
morning early by Warden Masterson
and officer Harvill. Both men rushed
to the place when the alarm was given
by Mary Hayes. a negro woman, and
discovered that Kennybrook, assisted by
Cecil Mitchell and Hardy Mcvay, had
dug a large hole in the side of the jail
and were making desperate efforts to
escape.
When discovered the men showed
fight and gave the warden considerable
trouble. All had knives, and it was
necessary to use revolvers to cow the
three men. Kennybrook continued to
act ugly and, it is claimed, attacked
Warden Tuck with knife. The war
den thought for a time that he would
have to use his gun but he succeeded
in taking the knife away from him.
Kennybrook. is in the city jail on a
charge of breaking Jail in Florida. He
was recently arrested in connection
with the short change artists" and
made bond. He was rearrested Satur-
day on the above charge.
The attempt to escape yesterday
morning caused intense excitement and
for time 1t looked as if a SMALL
sized riot would result. However,
quiet was restored by the cool work
of officer Harvill and Warden Master
son.
The alarm was given by Mary Hayes,
the negro woman, when Kennybrook
and the two men attempted to get into
Judge Feagin's courtroom. They were
caught and prevented from doing so
when the hole which had been dug was
discovered and closed.
A charge of aiding and abetting the
escape of prisoner was placed against

CARUTHERS EWING ON MEMPHIS
By CLYDE w. ENNIS

Caruthers Ewing, the widely known
lawyer, who has developed into one oi
the most sought for after-dinner speakers
of the south, delivered at credit men :
banquet few nights ago in Memphis
what is supposed to be his most inimit-
able talk
In his remarks about Memphis he re-
fers to that city in a vein intended to be
light, but which have been taken seriously
all over the country; In fact, Detroit bold
ly says SO, his remarks are taken seriously
and although not intended for such, por-
tray a true state of affairs.
His speech follows:
mo man can discuss Memphis without
getting excited about It, This city exists
only in its pluperfect tense. 1t neither
has nor does anything in moderation, and
is not municipal piker
at is on the largest river in America
1t is at the head of the most fertile
valley that ever enriched the man who
did not toll. The earth about here is so
rich that a strong and sturdy son of
the soil can by unceasing effort and
unflagging zeal, almost make a living.
II can name hundreds of untitled cit
liens, men otherwise unknown to fame,
who make right here In Memphis nearly
two-thirds as much money as they spend.
Memphis has above her as much room
for airships as any other city on this
teeming earth.
Our corporate limits are just twice as
large and our taxes just twice as high
as they ought to be.
Memphis has more rampant elections
and more rantankerous reformers than
any other city on this revolving earth.
We have the classiest set of takers in
the world. Our credit men give more
credit and our internal collectors get more
cash than credit men give, and collectors
get anywhere else in the south.
Until DR.. Cook shot athwart the firm
ament and set a new mark in liars, Mem
phis was somewhat of a liar herself. But
DR.. Cook is one of those prodigies, a
rare miracle of mendacity that flashes ur
in the world. But, thank God, Memphis
has not quit. Her proudest liars may
have bowed their heads and become dis.
mayed for the moment, yet their higf
spirit and splendid genius will redeem
them, and when DR.. Cook shall sleep il
a forgotten grave, Memphis liars vii
be putting the cohorts of truth to fiigh
and teaching mankind that a real liza
crushed to earth, will rise and lie again
| Memphis sports a brand and breed O

pose that even credit man will fee

MUCH INTEREST In
COM0RRA TRIAL
SOCIETY CHARGED WITH MUIR
DER-MODEL STABLE AT BETH
LEHEM PICTURESQUE SIGHT

Rome, February 5.-The country has
been intensely interested in the trials Of
thirty-one members of the fendish COM
tination known as the "Comorra" at
viterlie. The Comorra is one of the most
dreaded and powerful secret societies, the
men are accused of murders which took
place five years ago, one of them in Ma
pies and the other outside the city. For
generations the Comorra has terrorized
not only Italy, but Turkey and other
countrys. Its branches are everywhere,
and it's membeds include from the wor-
king men to the man ofsrank.
In June, 1906, members of it assassinated
a most beautiful woman named Sorrentina
Cuocel. A few hours later the woman's
husband was found dead. The latter
was affiliated with the organization but
was suspected of being police spy be-
cause in a number of instances. plots Of
which he knew had been foiled by the
police.
The head of the Comorra and three
comrades were arrested on suspicion as
they had been seen lurking near the VIC
TINS house the night of the crime. After
fifty days detention in prison they were
freed But one determined man kept
after them and finally learned that C.
Comorra court had condemned the couple
to death. Aided by a convict he caused
the arrest of 81 men who sat in the trib-
unal including the six men told off to do
the murder. One hundred lawyers have
haap an on Sed in the case.
One of the most characteristic and
picturesque Christmas sights that re-
mains is the "Presinio," or model of the
Stable at Bethlehem, which is yearly
erected at the ancient church of the Ara
Coeli, on the Capitoline HILL Tradition
says, that a temple to Jupiter stood on
this spot, and that the church was erec-
ted over the alter of Augustus which
commemorated the Delphic oracle foretell-
ing the birth OF the Saviour. Here the
triumphal professions accorded by old
Rome to successful generals and emperors
ended and the great Caesar climbed it's
steps on his knees after his first triumph,
while halfway down a statue marks the
place where Rienzi, last of the Roman
Tribunes was killed.
The Presinio was first introduced by
st. Francis of Assist, with that wonder
full intuition of what would find its way
to the hearts of the people. 1t consists
