IRON INDUSTRY
 FOR ALASKA
Colonel Swanitz Says Big Leads of Iron Near Seldovia and Nome
 Will Be Opened.

SEATTLE, April 19.-Colonel w. A. Swanitz reached this city today from California and in an interview says that the big iron leads near Seldovia and those at Nome will be investigated by capitalists in the ex, pectation of establishing a big steel and pig iron industry in Alaska.
 The colonel is on his way north and will devote his energies to the exploiting of the undeveloped mineral resources of Alaska.
 "If the iron ore is found to be what is wanted by the steel and iron man. ufacturers," said Col. Swanitz, plenty of capital can be secured to open the properties which are known to exist in Alaska, and one of the greatest in- dustries of the north will be devel- oped. Investigations made of the quality of iron at Seldovia and that near Nome has led the experts to be. lieve that the ore is what they want and that the Pacific coast will no longer be compelled to buy Chinese iron ore, but big plants for the reduc. tion of the iron and it's manufacture will soon be established on the coast of Alaska and the cheap coal from the government mines, will be used.'

death, in the branch %workhousc and
boys reformatory situated on the isla nd.
The single death was in the case OF a
boy who had already been III for some
time when he was stricken with ty-
phoid." said Miss Davis. "Out OF the
sixty cases that rave been transferred to
the City Hospital on B~lackwell's Island
only two or three have been critical.
There have been no new cases In
the last forty-eight hours. and so I am
extremely hopeful that the epidemic is
under contro. Dr. J. s. Billings, head
Of the Health Departments work In re-
latlon to communicable diseases. took
charge on August 1.
"Inciplent typhoid may not reveal H.
self for seventeen days, so we arc not
entirely out Of the danger OF new cases
yet. But as the disease generally man
TESTS itself IN two weeks I feel that
there is o much probability Of addi-
tional cases developing In the next two
or three days.
AS for the source Of the edidemlc,
DIR. Billings has arrow that down to
two persons. One is n man employed rs
a cook In the branch worldhouse and the
other is a prisoner who came down with
typhoid seven days after being COM
mitted to the island.
1T looks now as II the man who does
cooking constituted the source. The

was made upon all persons who had
anything to do with the food on tho

this cook.

Typhoid Mary and wants me TO have
him transferred TO the Riverside Hos
pital as n voluntary subject for further
examination and study. l am inclined
