FINANCE AND MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

NEW YORK, May 1.-The dead lock was broken in the stock market today. Quotations advanced defi nitely from the recent fixed level Stocks of all classes shared in the improvement, which put many of them up one to two points. The advance while slow and steady, was without an
 interval of heaviness during the day.
 News from Mexico was referred to as distinctly builish. Another influ ence making for higher prices was the more cheerful sentiment, and it was regarded by the steel trade that last nights reviews by the trade authori- ties took a better tone, and it was hoped definite improvement might come to relieve the long depression. Sterling exchange advanced again, reaching a new high point for the movement. Bankers are of the opinion that gold coin could be exported profit ably with the demand for sterling at
 48S.50, which is not far from the rul- ing level.
 Bonds improved moderately, al
 though there was considerable selling of Rock Island issues. Total sales represented a par value of s2,250, 600. U. s. 3s, registered, advanced E. and Panama 3s, registered, 7s on call. Metals

Steel Pole Planned.

1t is not hard to guess what in
spired Connie Mack to order the
most expensive pennant pole in Amer
lea. The old pole was a good one.
1t was a hardy spar taken from the
forests of Maine, and it combated
every tempest that blew through Lee

groaned under the weight put on

1t is easy to see that it takes some
pole to bear such a tremendous bur-

the winning of pennants at Shibe

Of Chicago closed last season with
a credit to its cash account in gross
money winnings of no less than
$90,6S5. With fiIst4rate luck it
would probably have surpassed the
100000 mark by considerable.
But as it is, it set a new record
for America
In accomplishing the result Cox
utilized no less than twenty-nine diff
ferent horses, of which no less than
seventeen won sums ranging above
$1,000. At the head of the list is

General Mining News

published a bulletin (No. $3.50, des-
cribing the geology of the Nome
and Grand Central region Of Seward
peninsula by Fred H. Moffit. The
investigation of the mineral resources
of Seward peninsula by the survey
was begun in 1899, and geologic and
topographic surveys have been made
at various times since. The present
report brings together all the in
formation at hand regarding the &C.
currence of the auriferous gravels Of
the area. Much of this information
is stated to be of scientific interest
only, as many of the rich placers
have been worked out. However, a
knowledge of their mode of occur
renee will be valuable, not only in
this but in other regions, in helping
to establish the natural laws which
determine the distribution of gold
in alluvium. AS a record of one Of
the richest placer camps OF Alaska,

Gold Deposits at Nome.

The naming of Seward Peninsula,
in 1898, was a somewhat tardy re-
cognition of the man who had nego-
tiated amid jeers and ridicule, the
purchase of the great Territory from
Russia years before Nevertheless,
this small arm of Alaska has proved
fully worthy of the name, and while
bonanza mining in the Nome region,
which has produced over $50,000,000
of gold, or seven times what Secre-
tary Seward paid for the whole Of
Alaska, is now mostly a matter of
history, the region still contains
large bodies of gold gravels many
of which can be profitably exploited.
1t is not unlikely, according to the
United States Geological Survey that
in the future more gold will be won
from these deposits than has been
mined in the past. Furthermore,
though less definite statement is
possible concerning the mining, It
is declared by the survey that the
field is we'll worthy of careful pros
pecting for gold vein deposits.
The Geological Survey has just

Alaska S Big Game
To Be Protected

WASHINGTON. - Alaska's big
game, which yearly furnishes excel
lent sport for wealthy huntsmen
from all over the world, is to re-
ceive greater protection in the flu
ture as the result of new regula-
tons made public recently by the de-
partment of agriculture.
Effective Immediately and for a
period of two years, the shooting of
moose in Southeastern Alaska and of
mountain sheep in the eastern part
of kenai peninsula, is prohibited. The
area, thus closed to moose hunters
lies south and east of Lynn Canal,
and on the kenai peninsula sheep
are protected east of longitude $50
degrees. Districts affected by the
new regulations are among the most
readily accessible to sportsman
Hitherto Alaskan game has been
protected only by a closed season
and the system of fees or shooting
and shipping licenses. The Alaskan
moose head is regarded as the finest
trophy of the kind in the world.

Radium is Used to

NEW YORK - DR.. John Eye OF

blindness by radium, came to New
York recently and treated twenty
patients. Seventy-five sightless per

of these he chose twenty hopeful
cases.
Notwithstanding the positive as
sertions of scientists in Europe and
America that sight cannot be re
stored by radium," said DR.. Eye, 81
