PETERSBURG COUPLE ARE
WEDDED

A quiet wedding took place today at the Presbyterian manse when Christian Tveten of Petersburg claimed Miss Ma mic Hadland, also of Petersburg, as his bride. The Rev. John B. Stevens, pastor of the church pronounced the ceremony that made the couple man and wife.
 The bride presented dainty figure, dressed in travelling suit. The groom was immaculate in conventional black.
 The only attendants at the wedding were Harry B. Olson and John F. Chamberlain, who had learned of the intentions of the couple aboard the steamship Dolphin while enroute to this city last evening.
 The bride is a social leader in the younger society set at Petersburg and has resided with her parents in that ci- ty for several years.

CHICAGOF DISTRICT

Scientific Press).
 In the last few years many small but high grade quartz mining districts have been developed in Alaska, and men Ut Nome, Seward, Dawson, Valdez and Fairbanks are all turning their atten- tion in that direction. This form of mining follows naturally in the wake of placers, which i'll many cases have led directly to the discovery of the quartz One of the most remarkable ot the newer districts is the Chicagof, where a camp has been established on Klag Bay, Chicagof Island, sixty-fve miles northwest of Sitka. The original discovery was made by Indians in 1906 Active operations began with the gath ering of high grade boulders and float vein. Enough ore was collected in thls way to pay for the first mill, which con sisted of two Hendy two stamp triple discharge batteries. The vein IS gray wacke and slate, in a shear zone, and runs southeasterly, with an SO-degree dip to the south. The ore occurs Ill shoots averaging from 8 to l4 fit. wide, the quartz being ribboned with slate Pyrite and much free gold are found, with great deal of graphite and lit tie arsenopyrite.
 At present there are two mills oper ating in the district. The original lo cation is occupied by the Chicagof Mining Co.,, which has ten-stamp mill with Wilfey tables. The company in cludes Messrs. Rust, Bratnober and De Graf, and the Jarvis estate. Much high grade ore from the upper levels has been shipped to Tacoma. The av- craze value of the mill ore is stated to be $l7 to the ton, and so per cent of the gold is caught on the plates. Outside =amalgamation only is attempted. The vein is tapped at the mill level by a 900-ft. adit giving 30 it. of backs.
 The other mill is operated by the Golden Gate Co.,, controlled by w. P. Mills It is on an extension of the shear-zone, and includes 10 stamps, with Pindar tables Ore is supplied by a 2500-ft aerial gravity tramway, and comes from shoot averaging 4 fit, in width A second shoot which averag- es fit. occurs 200 it. beyond the first, and drift is now being driven to tap this second shot at a depth of 16O it. The mine ore averages $17 per ton.
 In both mills salt water is used dur ing the dry season, and is found to pos sess both advantages and disad- vantages. It keeps the amalgam soft and makes amalgamation easy for the heavy sulphide ore, but it also in creases the wear on screens, boss heads and stems. Both mills are driven by electricity supplied by hydro electric power plant five miles distant Water for this plant is drawn through a 200 fit. tunnel from lake which is tapped below the frost level and supplies pow CT all the year round. The district has many promising prospects. Many small but high grade stringers have been dis covered, and high hgrade float on the beach is of common occurrence. Most of the ore bodies are in slate. Most ing is generally done by boat along the shores or by exploring. the creek beds, the heavy underbrush making travel difficult on the hillsides. Alaska suffers from lack of trails, and, except when ac- cessable by water, few veins have been opened Discovery of few rich veins such as these will open the country rap idly.

1t may have been partly by suspicion
of my possession of an unpleasant Sc
cret that Disraeli was moved to follow
me across the Atlantic and try, as he
did in 'Lothair," to brand me as "a
social sycophant." His knowledge of
my social character was not great, for
I had only once met him in society.
His allusion to the "OXford professor
who was going to the United States
was as transparent as if he had used
my name. Had l been in England,
where my character was known,
should have let the attack pass, but /

Horrors of Bokhara.

The terrible deeds that once made
Bokhara a byword are now prohibited
by the Russian government. Prisoners
are not permitted, for instance, to be
dragged through the streets by gal
looping horses. Nor are they thrown
from the top of the high tower called
the Minar Katan. This was the usu-
all punishment melted out to evildoers
in the old days. Watched by thou
sands of spectators, the poor wretches
were flung from that giddy height on
to the f1agstones beneath.
Bokhara has many chambers of hor-
rors, unwholesome for western eyes to
see and the description of which
would certainly be unfit for publica
ton. Perhaps the most horrible OF
these is pit where prisoners were tor
tured by vermin. which were so nu-
merOus and ravenous that in the alb
sence of human prey they were fed
on chunks of raw meat.-Wide World

The population of Stoughton is an

quite as high as most of us had hoped,
they show healthy growth and will,
we believe, compare favorably with
those of other smaller cities about our
size in Wisconsin. According to the
state census of 1905 our population was

Scottish Names.

No country has experienced the diff
Guilty arising from the commences of
one surname in district more intense-
Iy than Scotland. With whole coun-
tryside populated by Campbells, Fra
sers or Gordons, some more disttn-
gushing nomenclature had to be
found. And no doubt this was the
chief reason why at one time men
were always known by the name OF
their estate or farm. Dean Ramsay
remembered an old cowherd who was
always known as Doggy. His real
name was Sandy Anderson, but he had
once owned wretched farm called
Boggendreep, and he was Doggy to the
day of his death.
