WASHINGTON, October l5.--(Spec
ial to The Advertiser )-Congressman
Frank Clark of Florida has sent to
Governor Park Trammel of that state
a request That the legislature be con.
vened in special session to pass law
prohibiting Japanese ownership of
land in Florida.
The action of Clark followed the
making public Of the fact that a party
of japanese is in Florida looking over
lands owned by former Governor w.
s. Jennings, first cousin of Secretary
of State W. j. Bryan.
These japanese came from California
where the land bill against which the
japanese protested dcprives them OF
the right TO own realty.

GOOD 0LO WORLD
 SAYS NOME PAPER
People Generous to Citizens of the Northern City When Storm
 Wrecked the Town.

Nome is today having an example of the goodfellowship Of the world in which we live, says the Nugget. Nonla needed help and sent up a cry to her
 brothers outside. The response was
 prompt and has been generous. No
 body stopped to investigate, nobody waited to prove that what we said about our need was true. Nobody stopped to inquire how much. We
 just sent word to our brothers that
 we needed help and our brothers went down into their pockets and sent the
 help along.
 It would not be at all surprising if a good many of the people who have contributed to our relief funds had never heard of Nome before the disaster came upon us. It would not be at all surprising if great many of the people who have contributed and are still contributing to our help
 ever stopped to think where Nome
 was or what had. happened to her.
 They simply know that some where were fellow men and women in dis tress. That was enough and the hand went into the pocket and Nome's needs were met.
 Where is the misanthrop who can wallow in the fallacy that the world , is all wrong? Where is the blighted soul that can find nothing better to
 do than grumble at things as they | are? Surely not in Nome. We have had a too instant and spontaneous re- sponse to our cry for help to ever
 doubt again the bigness of the aver ] age human heart. We, if any peo- pie, should believe in human nature
 as generally pretty fine line of goods.
 There isn't any shoddy in the kind of man who hears that somewhere on the outskirts brother has fallen
 and needs help and without waiting for details. without stopping to in Guire how much is he hurt. goes down into his pocket and gives what he can afford to send assistance to the stricken one. \. There are some people who try to make out of misfortune, there are some people who. because they need

Gold PIacers in Alaska.

Since mining began in Alaska in 1880 the gold placers of the territory have yielded 7,48S, ,491 fine ounces o1 gold, valued at $154,SOO,S75. These mines have also produced 1,652,016 fine ounces of silver, with a conner cial value of $96O,743, according to A. H. Brooks, of the United States Geological Survey.
 The gold placer mines of Alaska are estimated to have produced in 1912 gold to the value of 1,990, ,00O Railroad development is the thing that is most needed, and it is not to be expected that under present indus trial conditions there will be any sta. bility of placer gold output in the territory. So long as the high cost of transportation prevails, the pro. duction of placer gold must depend on the exploitation of bonanza deposits, for these alone can be expected to yield profitable returns,

they get the five but will grumble be- cause it is not ten. There are not many of that kind and fortunately Nome is blest in having mighty few of them.
 We have been treated very gen. orously by our brothers and we are thankful to them and because they are our brothers we will do the same fer then, if ever t ey need help.
 When we find the world filled up with the kind of people who have, without 2 question. come so gener- ously to the help of Nome, who can doubt that it is a pretty good old world?
 We are not speaking of the pro- lessional politician, like the honor able chairman of the Appropriation committee of the House of Represen- tatives But of just plain people who fortunately make up most of the world and who do not count on what capital, political or otherwise, they can make out of doing a kindly and charitable deed to a brother.

LEAVES FOR THE INTERIOR
w. A. Black, Nome Transportation Man, Starts for Chitina With
 Bobs and DoubIe-enders.

w. A. Black, the freighter, left Val deg this morning with ten head of stock for the interior. MT. Black will go direct to Chitina from here. He has six bob sleds and a dozen sets of double-enders. The bobs will be taken in light and the feed and sup plies for the outfit will be hauled on the smaller sleds, as the road has never been broken this winter for bob sleds. The trail over the summit has been broken by the Mcintosh teams, which are returning to the coast after delivering supplies to number of roadhouses and also having taken a number of small prospecting outfits to Tazlina, from where they will be talk en to the Nelchina by the mushers with dog teams.
 The Black stock will be used in freighting from Chitina to the Chisana and also from Valdez to the Nelchina and Chisana.

delivery of mail the coming four years the department insisted that when mail cannot be sent via Cordova it must go via Valdez.
 The people of Fairbanks not con- trolled by the N. c. company have insisted upon quick delivery of mail and are expected to protest against any attempt on the part of the interior trust to bottle up the mail for the sake of securing dividends for stock holders of the Northern Commercial company
 Information has come from Chitina that Supt. Rockafellow has received orders from Volney Richmond, man. ager of the N. c. company. not to spend one cent on betterments of the equipment and stock until the pres ent controversy is settled.
 It is very doubtful if the depart ment will recede from the stand they have taken, as they have been sub jected to much we'll merited criticism for permitting the mail to be diverted via Cordova, and they will no doubt re-advertise the service and eliminate
Valdez daily prospector., 1913-12-10

Word has been received in Valdez that the government will re-advertise for bids for the delivery of mail from the coast to Fairbanks and other in terior points, It is stated that the Northern Commercial company, the present contractors, have refused to offer 9 bid und the present condi' tions, which provide ynat in the event of the Copper River X Northwes+ ern railroad being blocked the mail must be sent via Valdez. The officials claim that the regulations require that the contractor must maintain two equipments to carry the mail, one from Valdez, for use when the wind and snow and weather conditions shall have made it impossible to op- crate the Cordova road, and the other for use from Valdez. e
 This, it is claimed, is too expensive and the attorneys of the Northern Commercial and the lobbyists employ ed by the company are working with the postal department at Washington to allow for a bid only from Chitina, thus placing all responsibility for the
Valdez daily prospector., 1913-12-10

the Cordova route altogether.
 By dividing the contract so that the route would be from Valdez to Pax sons and from Fairbanks to Paxsons, the department would get lots of bids from competent contractors for both routes, and a great saving would be made in the cost, as the monopoly of the Northern Commercial company would be broken.
 The bond could be safely reduced to sum of say $2O,OOO. which would be plenty large enough to keep out straw bidders.
 Postmaster General Burleson an nounced through the press the other day that he intended to put the Post office department on a business ba- sis and here will be a good place to begin with the Alaska service. When interviewed by a represen- tative of the Prospector, Postmaster Jefferson stated that no word had been received with regard to the many other contracts centering in and about Valdez in which this commun- ity is interested.

non-delivery of mail at the Chitina end of the railroad upon the govern ment.
 The contracts were He'd for last summer and it was expected that they would be announced month ago, and since that time much speculation has >een indulged in by those interested es why the contracts were not let. Information received on the last boat would indicate that the N. c. con- pany have no intention of carrying the mail from Valdez if it is at all possible to get out of it.
 While the mail was delivered to Fairbanks via Valdez the longest any mail was en route after leaving the coast was nine days and few hours, while many and long delays have oc- cured each year via the Cordova route because of the numerous block ades on the railroad. Every year since the road has been in operation the storms which sweep down the Copper river have stalled the mail, until the protests of last year were needed and in the contract for the

 WAVE OF MODESTY

ST. LOUIS.-Little old St. Louis today is engulfed to the neck in a wave of modesty Ordered to display no paintings, pictures or statues in the nude, promoters and managers of cafes and restaurants have dressed them, and weird sights meet the eye of the patrons of these places.
 In one downtown cafe Venus wears a pair of Diaphanous trouserettes, and the Lady with the Goose is garbed in slit skirt, the slit extending per ilously close to the lady's neck. In another cafe, where the proprietor boasted a really handsome group de- picting Pan piping to a bevy of "al- together" woodland nymphs, Pan has been made to don a specially made pair of overalls and the girls are dressed up in pajamas, nighties and Mother ubbards. The Sleeping Beau ty," who has for years respectfully slumbered on slab in another cafe unclOthed, now wears made-to-Order policeman's uniform. The proprietor said he could think of no more fit ting garb for a sleeping figure.
 Still another cafe manager in whose place was bronze figure taken from the now famous September Morn," has dressed the figure up in a short white linen garment that comes in pairs. A statue of Bachan, the origin of which was refused by the Puri- tanically inclined of Boston and now disports herself in the Metropolitan of New York. now wears a complete mo- toring outfit. including goggles and veil.

ARIZONA GREAT
 COPPER STATE
Has Output of Million Pounds Day Much Gold and Silver in
 Copper Ore.

Arizona ranks first among the states in the production of copper, and cop Der mining is by far the mainstay of the mining industry of the state, ac- cording to E. w. Parker, of the Un- ited States Geological Survey. The recoverable copper content of the ores produced in Arizona in 1912 was 365,- 038,469 pounds, million pounds a day. The value of this product was s6O,231,377. In 1911 the recoverable copper content of the ores produced in Arizona was 306141,53S pounds, valued at $3s,267,692. The increase in 1912 was 5S,S97,111 pounds, or 1922 per cent, in quantity, and $21.963,685 or STA per cent in value. The total value of the mineral products of the state in 1911 was $44,503,873; in 1912 it was $67 ,83S, an increase of ov- CT 50 per cent The large increase in the production of copper was due . principally to the development of steam-shovel operations on the low grade schists and porphyry (concen- trating) ores of the Ray district, in Pinal county, and the Miami dis- trict, in Gila county.
 Second among the mineral products of Arizona is gold, in which the state ranks seventh The only other inn portant mineral product is silver, in which Arizona ranks sixth in produc- tion. The three metals, copper, gold and silver, constitute nearly 98 per cent of the total production of the state The gold production in 1912 was 181,997 fine ounces, valued at S3,762,21O, and the fine silver produc- tion was 3,49O,387 ounces, valued at S2,146,58S Nearly one-third of the gold output is obtained in the reduc- tion of copper ores, and most of the silver also comes from copper ores. Arizona produces also considerable quantities of lead and zinc, the form CT amounting in 1912 to 3,403 short tons, valued at $306,290, and the latter 10 1879 short tons, valued at $604,- 319. The total volue of the metallic contents of the ores produced in Arizona in 1912 was $67,O6O,35O, or more than 99 per cent of the total mineral production of the state.
