WHITE MEN ARE
 NOT GOOD EATIN'
O O

BERLIN, Nov. 12.-That cannibals seldom eat white captives and then without particular zest, is the gist of scientific report on the subject made by Dr. Holman, formerly a consul in Africa and an authority on the sub- ject of tribal customs.
 Writing of the recent murder of the German-American mineralogist John Henry Warner, by natives of New Guinea, Dr. Holman asserts that the abstention of cannibals in Africa and Guiniea from the flesh of white men is not because they fear the spir- it of the white victim or his powers of magic, as has sometimes been as- sumed, but because they consider that 1t has an unpleasant taste due to the ue of sharp spices and condiments and of salted dishes in the diet of the Flu ropean.

REMARKABLE GAIN IN
 ATLIN MINING DISTRICT

Thomas Kirkland, we'll knewn Atlin, B. C., mining man who passed through Juneau a few days ago on his way to Vancouver for the winter, speaks in the most glowing terms of the mining industry, both placer and quartz of the Atlin district
 He says that Never since the dis covery of gold in that section of the country has the outlook appeared more promising.
 "The Engineer mine has turned out some fabulOusly rich ore during the past season and the Kirkland group of claims are showing identically the same ore as that found in the Engineer and are rich in gold-tellurium and free gold
 "The Brown group, which adjOins the Kirkland group on the south, is also a good proposition, and the de- velopment work which I have done so far has disclosed five true Assure veins cutting through the property. Assays of ore taken from these veins show values running from $38 to $175 per ton in gold. silver and copper
 "The Lawson group, on the Big Horn river, not far from the Engineer, which l and Fred Lawson and asso- ciates own, is a gold-silver proposition With our small test mill we can easily stamp out with the assistance of two men, from $3O to $40 per day. From eight sacks of ore which we ran through, we got a return of $34.7O in gold, and the tailings showed an assay value of $2225 per ton. This gold has a commercial value of $19 per ounce !"

NEW FREIGHT SYSTEM
 FOR HANDLING FRUIT

CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-It is announced that within a few days the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road will initiate in the Arkansas valley of Colorado an experiment for the better marketing of fruit and vegetables, and if success full this method will be extended throughout the roads lines. Refrig orator cars will be sent out to pick up small quantities of this class of freight, move them to central points, and attach them in carload lots to it's big refrigerator trains. The road has been successful in it's dairy and pOul- try traffic by that method, and there
 s thought to be no reason why the fruit and vegetable traffic should not be handled in the same way. Mill ions of dollars worth of this class of merchandise is wasted every year for lack of such a service.

 We will have to exclude the Hin du some time" says Mir Church. and in my judgment the sooner the better. Americans cannot and do not want 10 compete with them. They cut wages. and every dollars they get goes 10 In- dia to pay the fare to this country of their cousins. The worst of it is they all seem to be cousins to one another. They are a general nuisance which ought to be abated."

Post master Earl Hunter made ready to move the valuable and mail from the postoffice immediately adjoining Me Caul's place but there was fortunately no necessity.
 Fire penetrated through the wall be- tween McCall's cigar store and Jas. Barragar's postofiice store, but through the timely action of MT Barragar and willing assistants was quickly exiting uished Many valuable articles were either carried out or removed to places of safety by fremen and others in the pOstoffice store. Considerable damage was done to stock in the store that was on the shelves on that side of the building nearest the fire by coming in contact with water and the smoke.
