RICH MINERALS
. IN ST|CK|NE
RIVER


SEATTLE, Aug. 10. E. Chilberg,
one of Seattle's foremost banking off,
Gals. returned from Alaska, yesterday
from an Investigating trip of a mine
in the Stikine river district. Mr..
Chilberg said that the biggest zone of
lead, silver and copper ever found in
any, country exists in the district
which he has just visited. He made
a careful examination of the ground,
looking over several. properties which
have been staked and partially devel-
oped, and says that the entire section
is mineralized to a high degree, and
that millions in metallaiferous wealth
will be taken out of there. This rich
section lies about forty miles below
Telegraph Creek, and extends to Lynn
Canal.

MAY NOT ADOPT new !.
name 0F11ALAsktC1TY

That the post Office department will
not accept the name of Alaska City for
Anchorage is the belief of Commits
sioner Thomas Riggs as. he says, the
department never likes double name.
Indeed, he says that was one, at least,
of the reasons .,why--the name Ship
Creek was not accepted. Alaska City
was the name which received the high
est number of votes at the recent
poll, over there. Mr.. Riggs will re-
turn to Seward from Fairbanks in
the fall with the engineers who are
engaged at that end and place them
there under the supervision of Chair
man Edes.

WHEAT .RECEDES.
Selling Causes Prices to Drop } 1.s Cents.

Chicago, Jan. 9-Possibility of a government embargo on wheat ex- ports brought about flood of selling caused 2 quick setback in values. There were also advices that farmers. especially in Kansas, had shown a disposition to let go more freely or reserve stock. An advance in liver pool was ignored.
 Corn fell, with wheat. Commission business houses, though soon gobbled up the pit supply. Opening pricei :, which ranged from 1-2M7-Sc down were followed by a moderate rally. ~ Oats took the same course as other cereals. Rural acceEtances were said to be liberal
 ~ Heavy receipts of hogs promised for next week tended to pull down pry- visions. Mo radical weakness, how ever, developed.
 Subsequently, export sales led to q sharp upturn in wheat from the low point. In the last 15 minutes, never. theless, the market again had a baa break the result of fresh selling stampede. The close was samt-d9. morslized, ? l-2o2 3-4c under last night.
 Assertions that the Dutch govern ment had purchased 5OO00O bushels of corn today ill the United States helped the market to overcome almost entirely the early weakness. The close, notwithstanding, was depressed With wheat, 5-SW3-4c net lower.

MEMPHIS RATE MAN
 SEES VICTORY AHEAD
J. $. Dayant Interprets Attitude of Arkansas Shippers as Indi-
 eating Pessimism.

Memphis. Tenn, Jan. 9.-"ArkansaS shippers are taking very pessimlst- ic view of the probable outcome of the freight rate fight which will soon he resumed before Examiner Watkins of the interstate commerce commis- sion." said Commissioner James $. Davant of the Memphis freight bureau yesterday. "They claim that if the re- duction sought by the Memphis ship Ders is granted, there will be a whole sale exodus of Arkansas shippers and Memphis will become more of a ship ping center than ever.
 In the latest from the Arkansas seat of war there is considerable ad- vance lamcntation oyer the prospect of Memphis securing all the ccmpeti-' tive business in that state. The Ar kansas dealers admit that Memphis is now enjoying considerably lower in coming freight .ates, which, even with the higher outgoing rates into Arkan- sas territory, enables Memphis deal CTS to compete to some extent with the Arkansas merchants. But they cleim that if the outgoing rates are reduced to an equitable basis with those now afforded the Arkansas ship pers. all competition will practically be eliminated through the great ad- vantages given the Memphis dealers
 In a statement credited to w. M. Tavlor of the Pine Bluff Traffic as- sociation, he is declared to have ex- pressed the opinion that at least 50 per cent of the Arkansas shippers VIII either be forced out of business or will have to establish themselves in Memphis under the rates if granted. Eocat- shippers declare this is the big gest concession admitted by Arkan- sas rival interests in some time III favor of the superior freight advan- tages of Memphis.
 With the resumption of the city of Memphis freight hearings before Ex- aminer Watkins in Little Rock Mon day, February i, it is probable that all of Memphis interests will be handled through Commissioner Davant, who will leave the last of this week TOT Little Rock.

PAY CLAIMS DUE
 PINE BLUFF BANK

Judge J. M. Elliott yesterday ap- proved the settlement effected by State Banking Commissioner John NJ. Davis with the Puddephatt Furniture Manu- featuring company and the Anchor Furniture company on notes held by the Bank of Pine Bluff. The claims, amounting to $1S,7S7, were liquidated by the Puddephatt company deeding to the banking commissioner the three story brick building in Main street, now used by the Anchor Furniture company.
 The transfer is subject to a lien of $14,5OO against the property. held by J. s. Mcdonnell. In addition the Puddephatt company executed a. note for $5,OOO, payable January 1, 1916. and the Anchor company gaWe it's note, payable at the same tinle,' for $2,500. <.
