ALASM'S GREAT GOLD REblON

The first gold deposits found in
inland Alaska, we're in the Yukon
TanaDa region, which comprises an
upland diversified by broad valleys
stretching westward from the in
ternational boundary to the great
bend OF the Yukon. The earliest
OF the pioneer prospectGrs crossed
the Cbilkoet Pass about 1880 anc six
years later began mining in the in
terror Of Alaska after finding gold
in the Yuxon-T anana region. Since
then this region has produced gold
to the value Of about $4,000, 900
The United States Geological sur
vey began its survey of this field
which embraces some 40, 900 square
miles, in 1898. With the issuing
of the report on the portion of the
region known as the Circle quad
rangle published recently as Bulle-
tin 53S, geologic and topographic
reconnaissance maps, together with
a description of the mineral re-
sources Of this area, became avail
able.
The town of Circle, from which
the report takes it name is one Of
the oldest white settlements on the
Yukon. II was located before the
surveyor had determined that the
town was not on the Attic Circle
as supposed but so miles south Of
it. Lest the nearness Of the Artic
Circle be regarded as indicative of
ice and snow. it should be noted
that there are neither glaciers
nor permanent snow in the YUKON
Tansna region. It is, indeed, a
land of fertile valleys and grassy
slopes and during the short but
warm summers vegetation thriyes,
many grains can be ripened, and
vegetables grow luxuriantly. Of
course. the establishment Of ade-
quate railroad transportation facili-
ties may be expected to greatly de-
velop this entire region.
The Circle quadrangle owes its
chief present Importance to the
placer mines of the Birch Creek
district, which though worked in
only a small way, have produced
gold to the value of nearly $780,

POISONED BY CANDY

The little o Of William Bryan
was suddenly attacked with q case
Of coal tar poisoning last evening
at the local picture house. The
little lad had come up early in the
evening to attend the movies and
before entering the house, he went
into the Semenza grocery store
and purchased some candy. He
was munching at the sweets when
he was siezed with q spasm and
fell to the floor in pain. He was
at enc removed to the Offices of
DR.. Bice where ne was treated.
The opinion is that the poison was
used in coloring the candy. It was
not until 1890 tat the lad rerov-
cred from the effects of the spasm.
He was taken to his home and this
morning Is reported as all right.

after he had recorded the transaction
at the Stfasbourg Diamond Exchange
he and the diamond were on their way
to Paris, in charge of a detective. A
few hours later the stone was identified
at the Tuileries as having been taken

From Fishel Cohen's agonized de-

the diamond, Colonel Jarras believed
he recognized John Buckhurst. But
how on earth Buckhurst had obtained
access to the jewels, or how he had
managed to spirit away the cross from
the very center of the Tuileries, could
only be explained through the theory
of accomplices among the trusted inti-
mates of the imperial encourage. And
