 hing to realize the value of the work that has been done in the past by the
 geological survey. Several years ago,
 when Alfred H. Brooks made survey
 of the Kenai peninsula he reported that
 according to bis ideas the best place for prospector in this section of the country was the Chickaloou country on Turnagain arm. Mr. Brooks said that section had all that gold bearing country should have, and that unless he was very much surprised there would be some rich finds bOt iu quartz and placer Last year an outfit made trip into the Chickaloon country and had a look at the formation. They brought out tales of good placer pros- poets on Indian creek and some of the best-looking quartz that has been shown inIthis country. Assays run as high as S4O0 per ton. They believe they can locate the ledge and are leaving soon to make the attempt.
 The eighteenth annual statement of the Alaska Packers Association re- ceived on the last mail contains the fol- lowing information: During the year 1910 the capitalization of the company remained the same, viz: S7s5OO,OOO au- thorized capital, divided into 75,OO0 shares of the par value of SlO0 each. The present issue is 57 ,50S shares, leaV- ing 17,492 shares in the treasury of the company. The Association carries it's own insurance on buildings, wharvesr machinery, equipments, furniture and on product in the course of manufac- ture and finished in its own plants; also on all floating property and cargoes ot box shocks, lumb Der and coal. All up and down general cargoes are insured at full values, and salmon and mer- chandise stored in warehouses ln San Francisco at about half their values The insurance fund earhed S21O, l4S.I9 for 1910. The amounts charged for losses and expenses aggregate S9,423.9a- The insurance fund now amounts to 819.213.O4; of this S816,47l.08 is in- vested in bonds. The Associations pack for the season was as follows Sockeye, 39960 cases; red, 662,zlS; king, 17,895; coho, 36,O97: pink. 157,607; chums, 57,439. There were also 4,O83 barrels of salt salmon. During 1910 the salmon markets have been brisk. Four teen canueries were operated in Alaska and one on Puget sound; Sl7O,l2 was spent for repairs, and Sl9O,O16.9S for improvements and addition to plants. There has been written of from plants on account of depreciation S1O7, 7,3S7 61, making the present ap- praised value of plants S4,319,625.9S- The present appraised value of ths fleet is S1, ,4S5,0O0.

J. C. ReadmaD, formerly Of the head- man Warehouse Company, of Seattle, has leased the hotel at Copper Center from R. Blk and will operate it. Cop per Center is the principal settlement along the road between Valdez and Fairbanks.
 T. s. Novel; is quoted by Seattle paper as having said that the Berners Bay properties cannot legally be turn ed over to the purchaser for two req sons. One is because Marshal Faulk' ner has not been confirmed, and the other, that he is a Canadian anyway.
 Senator Jones had adopted hy sen- ate amendment 10 the river and harbor bill a provision for the survey of the A poon mouth of the Yukon river, with view to deepening the channel so that vessels of larger draft may use this en- trance. The Apoon mouth is the north ern mouth of the Yukon delta.
 William Sulzer, representative in congress from the Eleventh New York district, speaking in the house in sup port of his amendment to increase the appropriation for Alaska roads from SlOO0O0 to Sl5O,O00 said: "Ihere should be built this year a government road in Alaska from Seward to the Iditarod country"
 Capt. William Hall, who is now in Se attle, is probably the only man who has charted the Kuskokwim river. He says the government has never made chart of the stream. He once went as far up as the Tolcotna with boat drawing four feet. He also says that the mouth of the river would not be dangerous If properly charted.
 The Beaver Dam mine, which is sit uated on the wagon road, forty miles from Valdez, has been sold to Leon Giroux and other Seward people, for the sum of S4O,OO0 by Willard Scott and Charles Gott, the discoverers- Among the new owners of the property are United States Marshal Sam BrigRtwell and Camille McGown.
 The Canadian-American reciprocity schedule just announced is act entirely satisfactory to the people of the Rlon- dike. It was hoped there that the tariff would be removed from all kinds of dredging machinery, which would bring about the investment of more capital in the Yukon by the reduction in the cost of installation, material and plants.
 Cordova. Jan. 24.-A deal was con" summated yesterday whereby a group of twenty-four oil claims located at Cape Whitshed, about twelve miles from this city, were sold for SloO,OOO. The sale of the property was made to W. B. Vanderlip, mining man who represents Dondon capitalists, and it is the intention of the purchasers to place machinery on the ground within sixty days and begin active work in drilling for oil. The claims were owned by D.. Elliott, E.A. Hegg, VIM. Wilson, Harry Thisted, Charles Ross, George Cohn, R.. E. McCoskey, Harry D. Martin, Charles A. Stumpf, George McBee, George Ort- kras and B. R. Caldwell. On the high. lands there is good flow of oil and upon the beach at low tide there is 8 good seepage. These claims are said to be located in the same strata as those of the Katalla oil fields

Some belong to the government, some to natives, while the Moravian mission at Bethel owns some. There is an abundance of moss for winter and excellent summer ranges, and the animals thrive and in- crease rapidly. It is quite likely many will be driven into the Iditarod this winter for food, in addition to those already delivered.
 The Valdez Prospector rises to re- mark: The posting along the govern ment road by Cordova parties of pla- cards stating that the Valdez end of the trail is closed to travel and adVis- ing travellers to go to Cordova demon strates the attitude of Cordova toward this town. Forever bowling "knocker at anyone who states anything which might be construed as unfavorable to their town, however true it may be, they in turn resort to any eXpedient to injure Valdez, even to deliberate lying, as in the above case.
 Skagway is probably the only city iu the world where q man is notified by telegram when there is letter for him at the postotfice. Postmaster A.E.hin- dall hit upon the idea when he found 1t impossible to meet the rush because of the failure of the postoftice department to provide more than S75 month for the salary of an assistant. The little telegraph system is the postmaster's sole property. His telegraph line Is connected with the railroad shops, some of the hotels and other public places. From such places the news that mail awaits them is transferred to people in the neighborhood.
 M. A. Dykemann and Mat Morris ar rived at Seward, Jan. 18th, eighteen days out from Iditarod City. Dyke mann, who is the original discoVerer of the Iditarod, reports the sale of Diacov- cry claim on Otter creek to George Riley and Mert Marston for S25O,pOO- They all report that the lditarod is looking good. Pay has been located on Spruce and Granite creeks, tributaries to Otter. Flat creek is better than ever, as is shown by the winter prospecting. They predict winter output for next year. The trail is good, they say, and the camp prosperous, with no serious shortage of anything, and no sickness.
 An unusual libel case, resulting from the recent mishap to the schooner Allen A., which went ashore at Wood island, near Kodiak, is that of the Alas ka Commercial Go. vs. 67 barrels of salted fish. The action has been filed In the U. s. District Court at Seattle. " lllS DOuuu lfOu O OudAaSAa AOh Se'NA FrBncisco, with cargo of 2,000 barrels of salted Ash owned by the libelant, the crew of the schooner had to jettison 500 barrels. Of the latter, 67 barrels were salVed by outside parties and shipped to Seattle. The libel asserts that this property, valued atSl,5oN, is now at Pier IS, Seattle, in possession of one Mclaughlin. The libel alleges that no process for salvage has been tnsti- tuted in Alaska and the Alaska Con- mercial Go. asks the court to give it possession of the property in litigation.

TOWN is SOLD FOR $4,000.
Waldo, Ore, Was Once a Thriving
Western Village.

The town of Waldo, Ore, was sold
last week for $4,000, In the pioneer
days Waldo was an important mining
center in Josephine county, and from
the Sailor diggings near the town
fortunes were cleaned in a short
time. The place fourished in those
days and was full of life.
After the gold was dug out the
mining population drifted away from
Waldo and since then the elements
have dealt with it unEindly. Three
years ago an old Chinaman allowed
the fire to burn through the floor of
his shack, and this blaze practically
wiped out the town. The purchaser
of the deserted village owns gravel
deposits on each side of the town and
he will dig the material out of the
ground formerly covered with build
ings.

HOLY ROLLERS GET RESULTS
In Echols County New Type of Relig-
ion Is Causing Crimes to Be Con-
fessed and Restitution Made.


VALDOSTA, Ga.-According to re-
ports which come from the southern
part of this county and over in Ech-
OILS a new type of religion has struck
that country with wonderful results.
1t is not only making some old sim
ners confess to meanness which was
committed years ago, but it is MAX
ing them restore what was not
theirs" and repair whatever damage
they did to neighbors or enemies.
The new sect are the Holy Rollers,
though it is probable that they are
"Pentecostals," or the sect which
claims the gift of tongues" They
are probably not the real Holy Roll
ers. The effect of their meetings,
however, has been wonderful.
1t is said that near Melrose and
Jennings, Fla, meetings were held
that attracted old moss-backs who
were never known to darken church
doors before. They were not only at
tracted to the meetings, but many Of
them became interested and profess
ed conversion. They were told by
the preacher that there could be no
such thing as conversion without a
full confession and restitution.
1t is said that one man went to
Mr.. Perkins, who lost many cross
ties by fire five or six years ago, and
told him that he wanted to confess
the crime eff it cost a term in the
penitentiary." Then the man told
| Perkins, who was his enemy, that he
set fire to the ties and now he wants
to make amends for it.
Another man went to Ben Prime
and told him that he stole one of
| Primes COWS seven or eight years
ago, and that six head of COWS and
calves have come to him as a result
of the theft. This man wanted to
restore all and beg forgiveness, as
the crime stood between him and sal
walton.
1t is said that numerous other in
stances of confessions and offers of
restitution have resulted from the
meetings, and that sinners have be-
come interested in religion who were
never touched before. People from
that section say the meetings have
been simply marvellous.

ANDREW JoHNsoN's TOMB.
A Waterman Is Employed by the
Government to Care For 1t.

Waterman Is Employed by the
Government to Care For 1t.
While Andrew, Johnson may not
have been a popular president and is
not often recalled" said Robert L.
Rowell of Tennessee, This tomb is
one of the few presidential tombs in
the country which are honored by the
presence of a paid Waterman.
There is of course a Waterman at
the Grant tomb in New York, and
possibly at the Garfield memorial at
Cleveland, but most of the presi-
dents graves, while we'll kept, are
not actually guarded by a watch
man.
ga few years ago the government
bought a small park including the
plot of ground known as the Presi-
dent Johnson burial place and this
park was given the dignity of a ma
tional cemetery, maintained like all
other national cemeteries by the fed
eral government Thus Andrew
Johnson is now buried on govern
ment ground, which will be kept for
generations to come with funds from
the treasury.
Il don't know that as much hon
or is paid to the tomb of Washington
by the government, and certainly
other great presidents, like Jackson
and Jefferson, have no federal care
taking of their graves. Jackson is
buried at the Hermitage, nine miles
out of Nashville, and Polk lies buried
in the city, with a suitable monu-
ment, but there is no wctchman paid
by the government to look over these
tombs day and night. The Lincoln
memorial as Springfield has a day
Waterman, as the tomb is something
of museum and is much visited.
Very few visitors go to the Johnson
tomb, near Greenville, but those who
do go find man giving attention to
and keeping the grounds in good con-
dition, Washington Post.

A RECORD WHEAT CROP.
Is Estimated That 1t Will Amount to
Nearly 500, 900 Bushels.

A wheat crop, the like of which
never has been harvested, will be
gathered in the United States this
season if conditions indicated by the
governments June crop report con-
tinue throughout the season.
Agricultural experts estimate the
crop this year will amount to 1884,
291,857 bushels, an increase of s.
S48,857 bushels over that gathered
last year.
OF winter wheat the indicated
yield is almost 48O,OOO,O0O bushels,
and that of spring wheat 284,000,-
900 bushels. While winter wheat
will probably yield less to the acre
this year than the average for five
years spring wheat will show an in
creased yield of two bushels per acre
over 1910 and a slight increase over
the five-year average yield.

GROWING LlNTLESS COTTON
GOVERNMENT EMPLOYE is Elk
PERIMENTING IN GEORGIA.
Expects to Produce a Cotton That
VIII Yield Hundred Bushels of
Seed to the Acre.

BULLOCHVILLE, CA. J. Stran-
ahan, superintendent of the Cold
Springs station of the United States
bureau of fisheries at this place has,
as the result of experiments he has
carried on for the past four years,
succeeded in producing a cotton that
is practically lintless. His last years
crop contained less than five stalks
10 the hundred which contained lint
IN even a smaller degree.
Having succeeded in producing the
untless cotton Mr.. Stranahan is now
at work through selection in produc-
ing a cotton plant that shall be tall
and slim in order that the fiber from
the stalk shall be longer and more
desirable, one that will hold it's seed
until all are ripe instead of Shat
tering' the seed from the first ripen-
ing bolIs, or to make the cotton plant
early and ripening up all of it's bolls
at once, thus making it possible to
secure the whole crop of seed instead
Of having a portion of the more early
ripened lost on the ground.
1t seems that the plant is helping
the matter along as if it knew its
business and that since it is not
supposed to produce lint it should put
It's fiber on the stalk, as in the case
of hemp of fax, that it's yield of seed
should be far greater than as if lint
was also to be produced and that
this seed should be richer in OIL
All this, Mr.. Stranahan claims, has
ueen measurably accomplished, and
ne claims that within ten more years
ne expects to produce a cotton that
will yield 100 bushels of clean black
seed to the acre and fiber from the
stalks that will be of as much value
as the lint from an ordinary crop,
and that the seed will be very much
richer in both oil and feed value than
the cotton seed as we now know it.
