PANAMA PRODUCES
 40 TONS OF TIN

FAIRBANKS, Aug. 25.-The 1914 tin output of the Hot Springs district probably will be in excess of 40 tons, according to estimates of mining men, just returned from htat section. The output last year was about 20 tons, 30 far as' Is known.
 Stream tin, or cassiterite, as min eralogists know 1t, is found very abundantly In the sediments of the Hot Springs district. It occurs on bedrock largely and usually is found in big quantities where the pay is good, It is not until the last few years that the miners of the district have made any pretense of saving the stream tin from their sluice- boxes. The first shipment was sent out by Dick Richards, the Hot Springs mining man, in 1912. The shipment was 20 tons in weight and yielded good profits to Richards.
 In 1914, IA tons were sent out, and in 1914, up to the present time, 10 tons have been shipped. Cleveland & Howell are holding their tin ore gathered during the last two years and intend to make a big shipment next year.
 The method of saving the tin ore from the slpiceboxes on the Howell 6 Cleveland claim on Miller gulch, a tributary of Sullivan creek, is rath- CT novel. Near the end of the string of sluiceboxes, gate has been ar ranged. When 1t Is desired to clean the boxes of the stream tin that has been collected, the gate is set, a side of the eluicebox is lifted out and water turned in, When the rifles are taken pp, the water wash es the stream tin Into subsidiary sluicebox through this opening, The operation Is repeated every few hours, SO fast does the stream tin collect in the boxes,
 The output of stream tin on the Cleveland & Howell claim last year was 20 tons. This year they have sacked 12 tons already and expect to have as much more again before the season ia over
 Several prospectors are working on Moose mountain, and according to reports made by the outfit, they have located the tin ledge supposed to be located there,

WINTER PROSPECTS
 IN DAWSON COUNTRY


 Yukon, being far remote from out side clnters, and having a large stock of merchandise and mining equip ment on hand, should look forward to busy winter While this is a camp supported largely by the op- erations of large dredge and hydraulic companies, the surrounding country is rich in mineral and placers, and af- lords splendid opportunities for thous. ands of mon to engage in prospecting in any season of the year. The war and the consequent unsettled condi- tions outside make 1t particularly ln- advisable for people to go there seek Ing labor. Those who are not going to the war win find the Yukon the eyer-glowing field of promise and op, portunity. The gold of this region Is as stable as Gibraltar, and in demand in these strenuous times above all else.
 The man who locates the pay now is doubly sure of the product of his labor being sought with eagerness, Nothing is better in hard or un- settled times than a proved mining proposition. and particularly one carrying gold. The common metals may become a drug. Their markets may be shut on or affected by a combination of circumstances. But the world cannot get too much gold. The cry continually is for more,
 Untold millions in the yellow metal lie strewn along the creek bottoms and in the benches in the Yukon gravels. Men who remain in the country this winter will waste their time if they fossile in the cabin. It will require no more supplies and no more equipment worth mentioning to live and prospect on the claim than to hibernate in town, And the man who keeps eternslly plugging away at 1t multiplies his chances. He has million opportunities to none as compared to the ind0lent fellow. Dawson News,

HENNEsSY IS OUT
 TO BEAT MURPHY

In his statement accompanying his announcement for the Democratic nomination for Governor Of New York, John A. Hennessy anti-Tammanyite issued a statement, which, among oth- CT things, says:
 "The direct primary, such as 1t is, presents the enrolled Democrats of this State an opportunity to say for the first time whether they approve the acts ofthe State organization. This organization is wholly controlled by MT. Murphy of New York end his sub.bosses.
 These are the men who contrived and controlled the shameful condi- tlons in the administration of John A. Dix. These are the men who ex. ecuted William sulaer when he under took to purify the State departments and declined to be Q proxy Governor, as was his predecessor. These are the men now directing the hands of State Government in every depart ment, including the Executive Chamber.
 "This is the time to give the enroll cd Democrats electors an opportunity to decline whether they win purify their party or see 1t destroyed as an agency for good government in this
 State. This is the time to say whether the party shall be purified in September by votes of it's enrolled members or smashed at the polls in November.
 'If my declaration, made in utmost good faith, that shall be candi- date in the Democratic primaries has served to rouse the typeof men who gave Cleveland to the nation, then let them without delay do an urgent public act in suggesting can dldate to 1t the issue, and I will do my share in fighting the battle for this great cause,
 q make only one condition. There must be no compromise with dis. honor. The leader chosen must head straight out antI-Murphy ticket The battle must be for the destruc tlon of the control now held by the leaders in the Tammapyized State organization"

ENORMOUS CHRISTMAS
FRUIT SHIPMENTS

Jacksonville, Dec. %. ALL rec
ords have been broken this season
for individual boxes of Florida
fruit shipped from Jacksonville.
During the past few days thousands
of these small express shipments
have passed through this city or
have been billed from here. Sunday
a special train Of some sixteen ex-
press cars was sent out OF the city.
These boxes of fruit are being sent
not only all over the United States
but to many foreign points. The
railroads and express companies
have had to work overtime to nan
die the business during the past
seven days. They expect that there
will be a falling off in the business
about Wednesday. Most of the SIN
gle box shipments now moving from
Florida are for holiday purposes.
They are being sent North by local
neopla and tourists. The tourist
travel to Florida has been heavier
than usual this fall and this is given
as one reason for the great increase
lin the single box shipments. Ex-
Ftensive advertisement campaigns
have also been inaugurated this
year by the growers and shippers

parts of the country as reported

show more conservatism than ever
heretofore. Much more has been

the great need of many has been
made the object of the charities.
From every direction come reports
of benefit for the poor at home as
we'll as the sufferers in Europe be-
cause of the war. The shipments to
Europe by the many organized char
tiles in our different large cities
have been enormous, filling several
boats. At home many times this
amount has been similarly contrib

WILL TRY NEW REMEDY
FOR CITRUS CANKER

Miami, Dec. 23.-Votimg in fav-
or of a compromise measure which
will insure a thorough demon:tra-
tion of the copperas cure, and ut
the same time make certain that no
risks will be run pending the result
of the experiment, the Dade County
Protective Association has lined up
with the South Dade County Grow
ers' Association, and once more
united the horticultural interests OF
the Redlands in the light against the
dread disease, citrus canker.
According to the terms of the
compromise, joint committee,
composed of members Of the Pro-
tective Association and the South
Dade Association, will employ a
pathologist to conduct an expert
ment with the copperas cure, which
members of the Protective Associa-
tion are espousing. The length OF
time which 1t will take to properly
demonstrate the worth of the cure
will be decided before the expert
ments begin, and pending this deter
mination the properties Of all men,
bers of the association are to be in
spected by a competent corps Of in
spectors, and wherever canker trees
are found the burning method is to
be applied. A number Of canker
trees sufficient for the proper con-
Quoting of the experiment are to be
selected by the pathologist.
