Kansas City, Stock Yards, Nov. A.
There was a good many establishments of
values IN the various classes of cattle
last week, price changes being governed
by the volume of the supply in each
class. More short fed steers came in
fall and that kind lost Is to 40 cents.
Prime steers are not considered to have
there were none Of the finished variety
offered. Cows and heifers continue scarce
and they closed the week 10 to Is cents
higher. Veal demand got ahead of the
supply, and prices went up % to rs cents.
Stocker and feeder demand fell off a little
and values slumped off 20 to 30 cents.
Quarantine steers sold readily, and closed
with the same advance noted on cows
and heifers. Range cattle from the Pan
handle, New Mexico, and Colorado were
offered freely, and had to stand the same
territory Today the run is cut in two by
the proximity of the election, and the
trade looks for a light run tomorrow, the
day of voting. Killing kinds sold quickly
today at 10 to % cents higher prices, the
1O. 600 head received not being enough to
go round. The condition today is largely
fictitious, but It reflects a healthy basis.
Stock and feeding cattle were content
with a slight advance today, and cows
and heifers likewise sold merely strong;
veal calves up another quarter. Top short

ALASKA WILL
 GET THE CASH

Governor Clark has been con- fering with the Secretary of Commerce and Labor and with memebers of the House and the Senate committees on the Ter ritories, for the purpose of hay ing the proceeds of the fur seal operations on the Priboloff Is- lands conveyed into the Alaska Fund instead of into the Mis- cellaneous receipts fund of the United States Treasury. If a step of this nature is taken. the earnings from the sealing op- erations, which are now being carried on exclusively by the Department of Commerce and Labor instead of by a private corporation as formerly, will be devoted to roadbuilding and the support of the schools in AL aska. When the Governor sub mltted tnlS pr0pOS!tlOI tO tile Department, he found no 0ppo- sition to the plan. while several members of the house commit tee on the Territories agreed with him that, since the f TT seal is one of the natural resources of Alaska. the proceeds 0, the sales of seal-skins by the Gov ernment ought to be devoted di- rectly to public improvements i'll the Territory. Legislation by Congress, however, will be nec- essary to put the plan in effect. Even if the Government. here- after, should kill not more than 7500 seals annually, the net proceeds to be devoted to Alas kan objects under the proposed plan would probably be not less than SI25,000 each year.

 purpose of electing delegates to
 attend the Democratic Territor- ial Convention at Valdez, March
 go. NJ. K. Martin was elected
 chairman of the meeting, and J.
 B. VanSice, secretary. Those
 present were enthusiastic over
 the prospects of success this
 year both in the territorial and
 presidential elections. The del-
 egates elected were M. E.. Mar tin, Chas. H. Gosgrove, J. B. Van
 Slice, w. r. Powers, Leroy II, Ryus, Jas. A. Hart and Chas. Deppe. There is every probab- ility that M. E. Martin will att tend the convention carrying the proxies of the other delegates from Ketchikan and nearby points.

WILL TEDDY RUN AGAIN?

Will Teddy be a candidate for president this year? There are individual demands for him all over the country. They claim Roosevelt can win and is the on- ly man who would insure a Re- publican victory.
 Meanwhile T. R. is chopping down trees at Oyster Bay and
 saying nothing at all. There is
 no question about Teddy being
 a good man. Most people like him. Everybody respects him.
 In the party or without he is the cleverest politician and the best campaigner of modern times. But in spite of the sly wink ings of the wise men, there is good reason to believe that Ted dy is perfectly sincere in his oft repeated statement that he does not wish to be candidate for the presidency again. Of course if there should be a popular up- rising in his favor, no one doubt that he would succumb to an ov
 erwhelming public demand. No man could rightly refuse.
 But i'll lieu of such a demon stration there is little question
 but that he would prefer to con tinue his editorial duties on the Outlook and indulge his fond- ness for home and freedom and tree chopping-at Oyster
 Bay.
 So the question as to whether
 or uot he will again run for first
 honors in the republic depends upon the people rather than T. R. Unless there is all uDris-
 ing for him, Teddy will ,.n-
 doubtedly remain where he is.
 If there is a popular uprising a kind of Nepoleonic revival
 he will be the next president. Aud there is no question about
 his being a good one.

EARTHQUAKES TO THE WESTWARD

A correspondent, lady, of the
 Seward Gateway writes to that paper under date of January 9, as follows:
 This part of Alaska has been l treated to some "all star' per formances in the earthquake line during the past month. On the evening of the first of Dec
 ember, a peculiar roaring was
 heard, which resembled thun-
 der. This was accompanied by
 a trembling of the earth, and for thirty hours there was one continual roar and tremble, the monotony of this was broken
 by occasional heavy peals of thunder.
 Needless to say, perhaps, the
 interest during the entire per- |formancc was unf1agging, most of us remaining awake all night so as not to lose any of the ex-
 hilerating effects Of the vibra-
 tory motion, nor the thrills re- sulting from the sudden bursts of the louder sounds.
 We had hardly gotten through explaining to each other that
 we had not been at all alarmed
 but were just naturally emo tional, when OH the 30th of De-
 cember we experienced two of the hardest earthquake shocks
 ever felt by the "oldest inhabi- tant." The first one at 9:3O p. m. began with slight tremb- Hing of the earth, increasing in magnitude until everything that
 was loose was doing cake walk. It lasted about ten sec
 onds. Three hours later, ano- ther and harder shock, unher- aided except by the bowling of
 the dogs and the believing Of
 the cattle, struck us. Since that time up to the present, there have been no lessthan eighteen different distinct shocks all of
 more or less severity

craze American consumer loads
 mp al the top, and leaves his
 warehouses bare at the bottom
 price of the metal.
 Apparently a market price of
 between fourteen and fifteen
 cents per pound may be expect
 ed for the next few months, at
 which figure there is fair
 profit for a good mine. Pros poets are for about l5O,000.000 bounds of copper this year, an Increase of slightly over eight |per cent over last years out put, 8 per cent. being the nor nal ratio of increase for near ly 20 years past.
 European consumption is eX- cellent, and has been for some time past. American consump- ton has been afflicted by an excess of politics, like all other Hines of business, and the elec- trical demand has been exceed ingly poor for several years past. The real key to the aver age price of copper for 19t2 lies in the state of the electrical
 industry in this country, as there is sufficient demand to take care of little more cop lper than was produced last year even with the American electri- cal trade at low water mark, but If the domestic electrical trade should brace up thoroughly, it would be rather difficult to get out enough copper this year to supply all demands.
 The prospects are for some
 what higher prices on the cop |per shares between now and April first, followed in all like |lihood by period of quies |cence during the hot and ag-
 gravated presidential cam paign already begun. If an
 honest and sensible president be elected by either party, 1912 should be a record year in all most every line of business. Despite the considerable ad.-
 vance in copper shares. first class stocks are not yet selling at anything like the prices war ranted by actual business con- ditions. The man who has any |of the better grade of copper shares should not be afraid to hold on for better prices in the
 future, though he should be prepared to hold on for at least
 another year if necessary.

AN ENJOYABLE AND
 INSTRUCTIVE TRIP

Last Saturday, at the invita- ton of K. R. Moore, General Manager of the Lon De Van Mine, a party consisting of Prof and Mrs. Blake, the writer, and others made a trip on the launch Truth to Georges In let and the Lon De Van Mine. It was one of those ideal Alaska days when all nature seems to have reached it's perfection, and the trip was fully enjoyed. The first stop was at Beaver Falls, where the company has it's pow CT plant installed. We all went ashore and inspected the plant. Water is piped from the upper part of the falls to the power plant. giving ample power for running the same. The main shaft of the compressor is con- nected directly to the water wheel, thus doing away with long belts, extra pulleys, etc. The power for running the ma chine drills is conducted about six thousand feet through three inch pipe to the receiver in- stalled at the portal of the tun- mel, at an elevation of 1S0 feet. Our next stop was at the main camp, where Mir Moore showed us through the office, bunk house, cook and dining rooms, all of which were noted to be in a splendid sanitary condition. We then headed for the mine. The main tunnel of which is sufficiently large for a perfect working tunnel. Several small leads were cut before reaching the main lead, which was inter- sected at a distance of 2050 feet. Drifting both ways and at right angles to the main cross-cut is being rapidly done, and approximately 200 feet of drifting along the foot wall is now complete. The lead and foot wall are we'll defined. Evl- dences of great pressure and n:ovcml nl is shown atall points by the striated and polished or slickensides condition of the wall. The lead carries a high percentage of iron pyrite, some sphelerite and galena, silver be- ing the highest value. The lead has been subjected to such pres sure that when blasted it is al- most pulverised, or at least that portion of it along the foot wall.
 The footwall is composed Of a graphite shist or slate, and IS very soft resembling very much the conditions in some of the great ore bodies of the Home stake mines of the Black Hills. Should this lead carry good commercial value, the import ance of this strike to the dis trict is inestimable.
 Manager Moore has again demonstrated the persistent continuity in depth of the leads of this district. All develop ment work on the property has been done in a first class and up to date manner.

THE COPPER SITUATION

Te copper metal situation IS really stronger and more sat isfactory to all concerned than at any time for five years past. A sharp advance of two cents per pound has stimulated buy ing, while giving the mines a much needed relief. The lead ing producing interests are us- ing their full force to prevent unduly high prices, which in- evitably would be followed as it has in the past by a collapse in the price of the metal, and
 the serious disturbance of the entire copper industry. The av-
