FISH CREEK QUARTZ
TAKEN ON AN OPTION

Ed Mcconnell has taken an option
for $4,000 on the interests of Dan
Murphy in the Murphy & Perrault
quartz claims at the head of Fish
creek, and he expects to commence
work Immediately.
1t is Mr. McConnell's intention to
run tunnel into the ledge some 200
feet and thoroughly prospect the
ground, and if the showing is suffi-
ciently great it is h s intention to
erect the mill. which is now in the
city, upon the property or somewhere
adjacent to it.
The mill which Mr. Mcconnell
brought into the camp during the
middle summer is of five-stamp ca
pac.ty and of the Allis- Chalmers
make. 1t is the kind of mill used
extensively in South Africa. and has
the Challenge ore feeder, which will
add greatly to the efficiency of the
plant.

LACK OF WATER CAUSES
THE LOSS OF MILLIONS

Frank Cook. agent for the Wells
Fargo express company, is authority
for the statement that the gold out
put of the Tanana valley for the
year 1913 will in round numbers be
s4.r0o,ooo, falling eff from the pre-
yious year of practically $1,000. 600.
This shortage for the current year
is accounted for by the lack of water
for sluicing purposes, being acknow-
lodged the worst year in the history
of the camp from that point Of view.
1t is also stated by those who have
abiding confidence in the camp that
1913 will be the worst IN its history.
From this time on the output of the
quartz mines will have to be reckon

wise have grand chance to rest
up Bender now that the Athletics
have attained the lead in the race.
Bender has appeared in more games
this season than he ever did before
in his career and he has proved him
self to be demon rescuer when
some other pitcher started to 60
Mack has used Bender largely for
this relief work during the race, and
ii has necessitated much additional
pitching since the Indian was forced
o keep continually warmed up in
case he should be needed. So much
hard and continuous work is bound
TO tell on a pitcher who has been
n the game as long as the Indian
has, and only a good long rest can
correct the condition if Bender has
been oyerworked.

The kinematophone, a new instru-

for the motion picture, is a truly
remarkable piece of mechanism. Ar
| ranged like the keyboard of a piano
are number of keys. Each key has

the sound effect desired; for instance
enc key has a picture of a trottins
horse, another galloping horse, an
other an automobile, and so on

By combination of keys almost
every imaginable sound effect can
be produced. When a fire engine
approaches an automobile, by a
combination of five keys the sounds
produced by both are heard.
Simplicity is the keynote of the
instrument, and any piano player
can learn the location of the keys in

shoulder l was thinking of the time
we locked out our teacher. We noti-
fed him a week beforehand that we
expected him to give us a nice, sub
stantial treat when school let out,
as we said, on Christmas eve. He had
been good-natured fellow and had
succeeded in keeping on good terms
with us scamps in spite of us, so as
we wanted, for the reason, to let him
off as easily as possible we specified
only a box Of oranges and box of
candy.

mas Eve day Mr.. Teacher arrived
without anything that possibly could
contain treat, we were hurt-doubly
hurt to think that supposed friend
would treat us so. We silently waited
till the noon hour, and when lunch
cons had been hurriedly gulped, two
of us were detailed to get him away
from the school house on some pre-
text or other. They succeeded, but
he didn't stay long, as it was cold

found the door locked he ratified the
knob and called:

and get big box of oranges and

the door. Or, if you'll promise on
your word Of honor, we'll let you in.
For answer he pounded on the
door and thundered:
Boys, order you to open this
door! viii you obey me?'
"Treat!' was our ultimatum.

and suspense, then he called to US:

GOVERNMENT PURCHASE
OF RAILROADS

Senator Kenyon of Iowa is said to be
preparing bill for purchase by the gov
ernment of all the railways. If so, it is
to be hoped that the Senator will avoid
the mistake of so drawing it as to re-
quire payment for anything else than
such physical property as the Govern
ment will need and can use. In addi-
tion to other valid objections against
payment by the public for watered stock,
for values it has itself created, there is
the fact that the railroads themselves
are claiming to be on the verge of bank
ruptcy. They should be valued for pur-
chase like any other bankrupt business
offered for sale. The sum of nineteen
billions mentioned as the one that SEN
ator Kenyon proposes shall be paid, is
excessive. 1t included the value of all
outstanding stocks and bonds. The
terms offered by the government should
be no better than what ordinary business
principles dictate.
