LET US MINE
OUR OWN COAL
TO PUT PROPERTY
ON SHIPPING BASIS

Thos. Lynch, manager for the Nc
Carly copper mines, and a party of
six, among whom were Tony Dia-
mond, Bob Martin and Charley Skof-
land, passed through here last week
en- route to their work on the well
known property situated at the head
of the Kuskulana on Nugget creek
In a short interview with the Leader
representative, Mr. Martin stated
that it was the intention of the COM
pany to put their property on ship
ping basis this coming season. if pos
sible. and with the amount of de-
velopment WORK already done on this
property, it Is believed the crew of
men, who will have charge of the
work this year, will have everything
in readiness for shipping ore by
1912. Mr.. Martin stated that he had
instructions to build a number of
SooiuS ouO Iu0hC iCPoioliOuS iol q
party of engineers who will be in
this season to run lines and make
general preparations for shipping ore.
1t is on this property that the IA
nous big copper nugget was found,
and which still lies in the bed of Mug
get creek, though some work has
been done in raising it from its bed
by block and tackle. The nugget
of pure copper will some day create
a sensation, as it is estimated to
weigh 5000 pounds, and the larg-
An attempt was made last spring to
raise the nugget and ship it out for
exhibition at the A. Y. P. exposi-
ton, but the only means of trans
portation at that time was by the
double-ender and no sled ever con-
structed could carry the nugget to
tide water. Now that the railroad
Is within a few miles of the mines,
however. no doubt an attempt will
be made to take the nugget out
for exhibition.
Mr.. Martin got all his supplies
shipped to Chitina by rail, but had
his seven head of horses and men
come by the trail from Valdez.

Preparations are now under way
by the government road commission
to rush the work of building the
lower Tonsina bridge on the new cut.
OF trail. The pile driver and other
necessary paraphernalia were taken
from the upper crossing, which is
now completed, except the decking,
and brought down to the lower cross
ing on Friday. Supt. ingram stated
that it would require about thirty
days to complete the work on the
lower crossing. The bridge is about
500 feet long and will prove a valu-
able and almost necessary aid to traf-
fic when the ice goes out.

THE COUNTRY MINISTER.

Suggestions Towards B~ettcrnent o,
Existing Conditions In Rural Parishes.
From. Prof. Edward Alsworth Ross't
In a discussion OF THE Plight o
the Country Minister" Rev. A. A.
Mackenzie offers the following sug-
gestions toward q solution of the prob
lem:
l.. The country minister should
have a house and a fixed salary Of not
less than $1,000 a year.
=. Our rich men, instead of giving
the whole of their surplus wealth for
the endowment of universities and
the establishment OF universities and
the establishment Of libraries, all OF
which go to cities and towns. should
divert a portion of it to the endow-
ment of the country churches Of their
own denominations. James Baird, tn
Scottish mine owner, gave $500, 900
sterling to endow the smaller parishes
Of the Church of Scotland, and, large
iy as a result of this munificence, al
most every Scottish village or country
district. no matter how weak financial!
ly, has well established religious serv-
ices. American millionaires may well
come to the rescue of the American
country church, for If Christianity
shall cease to be a power in the lives
of our farmers. there is a serious out,
look for the nation. Were a church that
pays $500 a year to be endowed so that
another $500 would be available, a ca
pable pastor could be secured-one
who could afford To stay.
3. Should our rich men fail to do sc
great a work. let every denomination
raise a sustention fund for it's coun-
try churches, such as was raised b.
DR.. Chalmers, when the Free Church
of Scotland left the Established
church.
The objection to the last two sug-
gestions is that where there are w
or three rival churches in a small
community 1t would be a waste OF
non to provide and endowment for
them all. or to support them all from
sustention funds.
A.. The different boards I'm charge OF
the country churches should come to-
getIer and make a combined effort 10
the prime cause of the miserable con-
dition OF so many OF the country com
munities.
5. The country churches should bf
managed by a central board repre-
sentative of the various denomina-
tions. The filling of vacancies should
not be left TO local officials. The
voluntary principle" dear TO sc
many In other lands, has proved Q
failure SO far as our rural work is
concerned. A pastor should be sent
TO the country church for a certain
number of years, as is done by the
Roman Catholics and Methodists, who
have no vacan churches in the coun
try.

CHAPTER XIII.

Ben was the best all-round reporter
In the city. He knew more people than
Osborne knew. Murders, strikes, fires,
they were all the same to Ben. He
knew where TO start and where to end.
The city editor never sent Ben out on
a hunt for scandal; he knew better than
to 90 that. Nine times out of 10 the
other papers got the scandal and Ben's
behavior became one. The labor unions
were Ben's great standby. On dull
days he could always get a story from
the unions. They trusted him implicit
ly. for Ben never broke his word to
anyone but his landlady. He was short
and wiry, with a head so large as to
be almost a deformity. On top OF this
head was a shock OF brick colored hair
that resembled a street-cleaner's broom.
And Ben's heart was as big as his head.
His generosity was always getting him
into financial trouble.
Dick. yau're a friend OF Benning-
tons. You can quietly tip him that his
men will go out Monday morning.
There's only one thing that will avert
a strike and that's the discharge OF
the Englishman."
Bennington will v discharge
him.
so I understand. He'll have a long
strike on his hands"
do you know the inside?"
Enough to say that the men will go
out. They're a lot OF sheep. They've an
idea they've been wronged. But you
can't reason with them"
Ben. you Ear go up to the shops
yourself and tell Bennington what you
know"
Il don't know him. Howl he take
it?"
