From Alaska ls a curlo, a souvonIr
 And an Ornament

The Interest shown by the tourist in the various souvenirs is greater in regard to the Fossil Ivory than any other specimen of ourios which are offered for sale by the numerous stores in the town of Alaska.
 Aside from It's beauty as an orna ment, surrounded as 1t is with the gold nuggets, natural In shape and color, the interest seems to be en- hapced by the fact that the Ivory is thousands upon thousands of years old.
 There are three kinds of ivory found in Alaska-Mammoth, Mastodon and Walrus.
 The Mammoth and Mastodon. pre- historic animals, (accOrding to our soienustsl lived hundred thousand years ago, and today is found in the ground by the natives, on the shores of the Arctic Ocean, Boring Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, and occas- ionally by miners in shafts and drifts. The fossilized coloring is caused by minerals contained in the earth, where 1t had laid buried for thousands Of years.

Some weeks ago he escaped from

wife. She was in jail just one week,
before demands Of the people secured

stubborn in face OF constant appeals
of the people, until a commission rep
resenting the workers of the Aguas-
cauentes smelter called on the Off
Gals Of the city and demanded that
she be set free The men threatened
to lombard the jail if their demand

STUDENTS JOIN
THE INSURRECTION
Come From Mexico City to
Ell Paso to Join Ma
dero's Cause.

Three students of the National
School of Agriculture at Mexico City,
each IT years of age and all of prom
inent families, have enlisted in the
revolutionary army at Ell Paso. and
now are on the way to join Madero's
army. The enlistment OF the three
youths has caused much comment in
revolutionary circles.
Becoming close friends in the big
school at the national capital. CUTLER
mo Fuentes, Of a prominent Saltillo
family, Jose Llorenas, a resident of the
same city, and Segundo Iturrios, of the
state Of Colima, decided to join the
insurrecto army. But the question of
securing funds for the trip to the bor-.
der for q time dampened the boys en-
thusiasm. They pawned their school
books, and much Of their clothing, and
still there was not enough money to
pay the fare to Eagle Pass and
thence to FL Paso.
But one of the lads at last received
his tuition fee for the coming semes
ter and with this financial reinforce
ment the trio purchased tickets and
played hockey from the school They
arrived in FL Paso this week, and i'm
mediately departed for Madero's
camp Strangely, one of the lads, young
F'uentes, was greeted here by his
brother, Alberto Fuentes who has been
appointed provisional governor of the
state of Aguascalientes, and is now

FREEMAN HITS HARD
AT RACE GAMBLING
Talks to Ell Paso Business
Men About Evil Of Race
Track Gambling.

81 think from a business standpoint
that it is a calamity TO have the race
track gambling on the other side"
Fred w. Freeman, at the chamber of
commerce luncheon said this and more
about the gambling on the Mexican side
today.
Il think we ought to put ourselves
on record and | believe that this or
ganiZation, not as a moral but as conf
mercial body, will take a stand against
this evil. | see the necessity of closer
federation of employers against the
dragnet which is bearing down on our
young men and getting their wages
This was one of three points that Mr.
Freeman, in his soft pedal talk TO the
business men, made in favor of bigger,
better and broader FL Paso. Real, gen
uine ret-together spirit was his main
theme and he urged the business men
who are backing the different postoffice
and hotel sites to give a demonstration
of the get-together spirit Of which FL
Paso boasts and land one postoffice and
two hotels and let the personal differ
ences settle themselves after this is done.
A moderate attitude in the Mexican
situation on the part of FL Pasoans was
his third point 'sThe Mexican situa-
ton is being felt here, he said. There
is no need to disguise this fact. This
calls for a moderate attitude. The worst
that might come would be the temper
ary suspension of FL Paso's progress. In
the extreme, which is American inter
vention, FL Paso would reap back all
that had been lost and more. There is
one point which we must not lose sight
of and that is that FL Paso is vitality
connected with Mexico and whatever the
outcome, we must not forget that our
interests are those of Mexico"

MEXICAN SHELTERS

COAL SHORT
81. R. Wagner Says Traffic
Tieup May Cause Close
down Shortly.

H. R Wagner, assistant general
manager of the American Smelling
and Refining company. is here from
his headquarters at Mexico City. Mr..
Wagner had a message from the Chi
huahua smelter Tuesday saying that
everything was all right in Chihuahua
at that time and that the smelter was
running full time. The assistant gen
eral manager OF the big smelling COM
pany admitted that the mining and
smelling situation is rapidly becom-
ing serious, because of the inability to
get explosives and fuel with which to
operate the mines and sme1ters In .diI-
ferent parts of the republic
while 1 have nothing to do with
the mining end of the business IN
Mexico" Mr. Wagner said, i under
stand that the Mexican company wnlcn
has the concession for supplying ex-
plosives is unable to deliver them al
the mines as rapidly as needed. This
can mean but one thing and that is
that the smelters will have to close
sooner or later because Of shortage
in the ore supply. Just now the
smelters are all running full time
THE Chihuahua smelters, know, are
short of fuel, as the line has been IN
terrupted between FL Paso and chi
huahua, preventing coal being shipped
from the states. The line south OF
Chihuahua is also out OF commission,
1 understand, and that means that no
coal can be brought from the south

MILITIA OFFICERS
FOR THE TROOPS
Are Invited to Join Regulars
at San Antonio; They
Are Needed.

Washington. D. c.. March s.-Militia
officers of all states viii be invited to
participate in the operations of the
army at San Antonio, Texas This an
nouncement is made by the war de-
partment, coupled with the statement
that the invitation will be extended
with a view Of giving the officers Of
the national guard practical field ex-
perience.
There are about 5000 of these officers,
but as the acceptance OF the invitations
is to be optional, it cannot be foretold
how many will avail themselves Of
the opportunity to participate.
The announcement gives rise to
further speculation in Washington in
connection with the unprecedented
movement of troops. The dearth Of
Officers in the army and the fact that
the war department has been knocking
at the doors of congress for addition
al officers gave ground for the con-
lecture that the real purpose of the
invitation was to use the national
guard officers to command regular
troops.
The need Of the army for more Off
GERS for command positions lent color
to this version

among the middle and intellectual
classes a demand for a greater share
in the activities of state and this
awakening has been. / may say, most
convenient for the interests OF dem
ocracy."
The ambassador was not pressed for
precise explanation of this phrase and
ne continued:
During this evolution of a superior
popular Intelligence there has been no
hostility shown in the classes men
toned to the government or to presi-
dent Diaz."
Senior de La Barra confirmed senior
Limantour's declaration that the Mex
lean government has heard of no Of
ficial demand, from any quarter, for
intervention, either by the United
States or any other power. Neither, he
said, had there been any protest
against smuggling of arms and mu-
nitions across the border by Americans
Herein he differed from senior Imam
tour, who in his morning interview,
said that smuggling both Of men and
arms was constantly going on; that
this was not report, and that 1t caused
iustifiable dissatisfaction"

Gustavo A. Madero, the insurgent
agent here, was another who could not
believe that Intervention would be al

ministration request Intervention 1t

Diaz and Senility.
Ambassador Wilson was asked about
the rumors that president Diaz is on
the verge of death.
Il can tell only what I have seen"
he said president Diaz is SO years
old, but so far as I can observe, his
mind is still firm and keen. He is a
little deaf and when he misinterprets
a question, his replies are sometimes
given a grostesque turn.
THAT might be twisted into an in
ference of senility.
"Of recent affairs-the happenings
of the last two days. know no more
than have been given out at the white
house. I did not come here to bring
a report from Mexico, but to visit my
sick mother"
