BERTHA TOYING
 ALASKA MAIL
Seattle Postoffice Dumps Six Days Accumulation On Ancient
 Mariner.

Six days mail from the United States is due to arrive on the steam CT Bertha. That ancient handmaiden of the Alaska pioneers is once more permitted to do the tango with mail
 ompany. It is alleged by wireless or some other medium of communi, cation that the old dame will float into Cordova late this afternoon.
 Some Valdez folks were pretty sore last night when they learned that some mail starter in the Seattle post office had dumped six days mail on the Bertha a day and half before the Alameda was scheduled to sail over the same route. They made re- marks abou boneheads and wondered why some $6O month clerk in the Seattle office couldn't be detailed to dig up information about Alaska steamer sailings and the time steam CTS ordinarily make.
 The rule in the states is that mail is to be placed on the train that will get to it's destination at the ear Hest possible moment. If it be true as alleged, that standing order re quires Alaska m;S1 to be placed or the boat sailing first, even though one twice as fast is to sail an noul later, then Alaska folks would like to see a few jay politicians dropped out of the postal department an' their places taken by postal clerk! who know something about the bus mess of carrying mail.

AN INTERESTING TEST CASE.

To secure an opinion from the Rhode Island courts, the national com- mittee on prison labor is backing an ex-prisoner in his suit against the prison contractors for wages for his labor while in prison The committee hopes to forward the movement to abolish the contract system of con- vict labor, not only in Rhode Island, but throughout the country, and to show the right of the convicts to re- ceive a fair wage for his labors, through which he can contribute to his dependent family.
 In Rhode Island the labor of at least 250 prisoners is let by con- tract to a firm of shirt manufactur- CTS. The state supplies the factory room, light, heat and power, and pays for transportation of materials and manufactured articles from and to the railroad station. The contractor sup plies the machinery, material, and supervision and pays the state 50 cents for each dozen shirts made. The prisoner is forced to labor under the terms of this contract and receives no wages.
 The committee insists that this is nothing but slavery, analogous to the condition of the negro slave before the Civil war, and in accord with slavery as defined by the United States Supreme CourH Slavery is prohibited by the constitution of Rhode Island. The committee there fore alleges that the statute auth orizing the state board to let the la bor of the prisoners by contract is in conflict with the state constitu- tion, and the contract therefore is il- legal.
 Iowa has taken forward step in the employment of prisoners. In that state prisoners employed on the roads are paid $250 a day. They pay for their board and clothing, and may send the balance to their families.-- Ex.

Raduievatz or Radouverac is on the Danube where the Timok joins 1t. By the Danube it is about 180 miles from Belgrade and 120 by rail. It is at the junction of two lines, one run ming south up the Timok, the other northwest, where it joins. the Bel grade system at Velika Plana. The northern mouths of the Dan- ube, where they empty into the Black Sea, are in the Russian territory of Bessarabia. The river then ascends through Rumania south and a little west until it reaches the frontier of Bulgaria Thence until it forms the eastern and northern boundary of Servia, it's bed separates Rumania from Bulgaria.

This is the second report received within three weeks that Russian troops were in Servia. The first was dispatch from Nish, Servia's tenn porary capital, via Rome. It was not generally credited, for owing to Ser via's isolated position it was said that such troops would be obliged to pass through Rumania or Bulgaria.
 In 1878 Russia negotiated a treaty with Rumania by which Russian troops were allowed to pass through her territory. Whether this treaty is still in force is not known; owing to the pronounced Russophile atti- tude of the present Bucharest govern ment, it may have been revived.

SOME COMMENTS ON COPPER
 AFFAIRS.

The Copper Producers Association has made no report of copper produc- tion and stocks since last July. Dur ing the interval the officers of the association have not even made any compilation of figures for the pri- vate information of the members. h. deed, the members have not turned in their individual reports Nor have the producers informally exchanged information with each other. In short, conditions have been exactly as they were before this statistical association was organized.
 Our own opinion, based on informa- tion received from the principal re- liners, is that the present stock of refined copper is less than is com- monly supposed, whatever may be the accumulation of blister copper. Ev- CT since Aug. l there have been reg ular deliveries of copper on old con- tracts, while the deliveries for ex- port have been surprisingly large until lately; and in the latter part of October there developed a rather large volume of new business, which was checked but momentarily by the British )seizures. Consumption has, in fact, been increasing in this coun' try, especially in the brass business On the other hand, the refners did not wait to work up all the blister copper in transit to them on Aug. l but in several important instances in augurated curtailment right away.
 The net result is that some of the refiners are at present holding ma terially less stock of refined copper than on Aug. 1, while in one case where there was an increase during the three months things are now prob ably beginning to go the other way
 As to whether the Copper Produc ers' Association will ever resume thu publication of its monthly statistica reports, or will put them on a differ ent basis, or will simply fade away nobody yet knows. The purpose o the producers, especially the stabil izing of the market by the commun ication of prompt and exact informa ion, was defeated. partly by popula ignorance of the industrial conditions partly by inherent difficulties. When ever @ bad report was published. ad vantage was taken of it to depress tn market. When things turned in ia ,Sor of the producers and there wa

 MT. Carstens states that the camp has a bright future and that 500 men are working in the camp and scat tered about on the many creeks in the Chisana section. He believes that the future will demonstrate the Chis- ana has been underrated and that the production next year will be heavy.

 Fear To Leave the Harbor

NEW YORK, Dec. "A 50-mile an hour gale is sweeping along the Atlantic coast and over this city. The storm extends from the Carolinas to Maine and many wireless calls for aid by ships in distress have been received. Navigation is ,paralyzed. All ships are waiting in this harbor for the storm to abate rather than face the terrific winds and high seas which are reported.
 Several revenue cutters have been sent to aid the steamers calling for hely and the life saving crews are watching for ships driven on the shores.
