At the office of the Idtarod wireless telegraph station is S4120. It belongs to the subscribers to fund that was raised in the first week of March, 1912, to in quire of the American consul in Bolivia as to the authenticity of the reported strike in the placer geld fields of that country. It is evident that the consul did not re- ceive the inquiry, or if he did, he did not deem an answer necessary consequently none has been received
 It has taken the telegraph officials about 20 months to satisfy themselves that a re- ply was not forthcoming, so they ordered a refund of the amount stated above.
 As many of the subscribers to the fund have left the camp, the question that now presents itself is, what shall be done with the money?

Brick Valued at S3303 Is Result of Month
 Run at Fairbanks Quartz Property


 Run at Fairbanks Quartz Property
 That the resultant brick from a months mill run at the Newsboy mine is valued at sS,303 is the report received from Leslie M Drury, who is now superintendent of oper- ations going on there and who arrived in Fairbanks October 3 with the brick in charge says the News Miner With him also came Louis Golden, president of the con- pany who for some time past has been acting as manager.
 The brick which is the result of the mill run of 39l tons of Newsboy ore, weighs 4Sl35 ounces. The assay value of the gold from the mine is SIPS, which makes grand total for the cleanup of the above named amount The average value of the rock per ton, therefore, shows itself to be about s2l25,
 Most of the ere included in the mill run from which the cleanup was made came from the big stope in the east end of the l50-foot level of the Newsboy Part of it also came from the west end, but it is in the opposite end that most of the work has been done It is stated that there gre now over 300 tons of ore lying in the stopes on the l50-foot level ready to be hoisted and mlled, and that the work IS being pushed as rapidly as possible.

LOVE OF PEACE
 DUE TO CHRISTIANITY

In connection with the recent jubilee of the kaiser, the Lorrain of Metz publishes a rather curious document dealing with the emperor's religious sentiments.
 The kaisers love of peace, which was .:reatiy vaunted during the celebration, is derived from his responsibilities as a Chrsl ian, according to the Metz newspaper. He has claimed to be the "valet of God, king by the grace of God and charged by Him with grave duties and heavy responsibill ties"
 In speech on May 15, 1890, the kaiser sad:
 Son of the Hohenzollerns, have accept ed the crown as a gift from heaven, with all the duties which go with it. That IS the conviction and the principle which sh all .l"ays iEsl ire my work and my govern ment."
 At Jerusalem the kaiser made what he val ed "vow to Christ crucifed and res rrected," in which he said:
 ''The same a. 2000 years ago. when the cry vent from here throughout the length nG breadth of the land Peace on earth, hus I will address to the entire world the invitation which comes from the depth of CUT hearts-'Peace, good will toward men. We will seek neither glory, nor power, nor oncrs, ncr other good things, but only the ue supreme good-the salvation of our otls In this spirit l renew the VOW of ny ancestors. I and my house will con orm to the will of God"
 It is a we'll known fact that the kaiser ractices what he breaches, and his Chris ian home life can serve as an example the German people There are numer- Us other instances of the emperor's rell- ;.au5 sentiment to be cited and he hardly
 akes a speech in which some religious ref renee is not found One little episode will ..ffice
 Some years ago the kaiser was discuss ny a passage of the New Testam with
 
 I am the root of the vine; you are the branches" The professor was endeavoring to deny the divinity of Christ and the kaiser said to him;
 Have you ever said to your students, I am the root of the vine; you are the branches ~
 'No, sire" was the reply.
 ''Do you think that any professor before your time has spoken thus?"
 'No, sire"
 ''Do you think that in the future pro .essors will so speak to those grouped at he foot of their chairs?'
 "AssureGly, mo-"
 Well, then, since never has a master spoken nor can he speak as Christ has spoken, believe not only that Christ was a real man but also a real God" The pro- lessor made no reply
