course for vaudeville which was fol-
lowed right through the season with
the result that every one now rises up
and calls him blessed for maintaining
the United Booking Office theatres ut
their fun efficiency in "A time Of storm
and stress. 1t hasn't been one of
those wonderful seasons. hut ii has
been a safe and sound season, and if
no fortunes have been made no one
has one broke. and salaries have been
paid right on the dot and every one
has worked. Legitimate theatres
closed right and Jeff. touring compa-
niles quit the provinces and thousands
OF artists were and are unemployed.
Vaudeville, on the contrary, Is sound
and stanch and we'll ballasted with
money for tho new season. Artists
continue to buy homes and automo-
biles, and ever the managers contrive
to have a little money for luxuries.
lnasmuch, however, as the war Is still
raging and the small investors in
theatres are coming to grief, there Is
still n tendency toward Intelligent re-
vision of salaries downward which ar
lists are meeting nj good part. The
big men of vaudeville believe in safety
first.

against the booking OF notorious men
and women whose only claim to pub

the courts. He Informed the agents
that the mere Offering of such people
would be considered an insult to the

 Fairbanks.-One of the largest funer- als ever held in Fairbanks was the one at which many people paid their last respects to Mother Monaldi. Many of the Pioneers attended the services in a body, and the Catholic church was crowded with those who came to show their appreciation for the noble woman who gave her life to her work of reliev- iug the suffering. The interment was in the Fairbanks cemetery.-News. Miner.
 Word has been brought to Nome of some mysterious creek in the Noatuk district that the natives are talking about. which is said to contain a streak of nuggets rich beyond anything be- fore heard of. Some natives arrived with nuggets at Kotzebue from this new colorado, and the Augusta c. took north some natives who are going to try their luck at the mysterious strike. Natives were loath to give particulars, and dwelt on generalities. They spoke as though the river or creek was yellow with gold, and their stories are said to have all the fables of lost mines "backed off the map" The fact that acme of the natives had gold lent some color to the story. but SO far none of the whites were taking much stock in the yarn, and were awaiting more par ticulars as to where the bonanza was located. There are those in Nome who would not be surprised if there should come from the North a story of gold galore which will "fade the KlOndike and Nome beach into the withered cat egory of "second-class things" as the Industrial Worker puts it.-Iditarod Pioneer.
 Under the direction of Mir. Martin E. Robinson the workers and pupils of the Sheldon Jackson school have been attempting for two weeks past to pre- pare and present the comic opera Pin afore. The performance was given in the school gymnasium Wednesday evening, December first, before an ap. preciative audience. The choruses were composed entirely of older boys and girls of the school. The pupils re. ceived valuable training in learning this work. Suitable costumes and at tractive stage setting gave the play reality which pleased the audience. More genuine talent was displayed in the ensemble singing than it was thought the school possessed. The principals did we'll with solos as well as the concerted parts Especial men tion is due Miss Mallet, who as pianist, by precision and thorough musical in. depreciation, made possible the good rendition of all the vocal numbers. Mir. Robinson is a real director. By work ing hard and drilling necessarily, all the while insisting upon accuracy and uaturalness of action, he gets unusual results with only mediocre talent He has been assisted in Sitka by Mrs. A. l.. Edmonds, of Ketchikan, who took the part of Buttercup with grace and pleas. ing voice.-Sltka Verstovian.

The mining of antimony is new in- dustry in Alaska. Although it has been known for several years that Alaska had anthony deposits, none has been produced in commercial quan- titles until the present year. During the season several substantial ship ments have been made from the Fair banks and Nome districts, and a dis covery of antimony ore was recently reported near Nizina. The production is said to have been stimulated by the increased demand for it caused by the European war.
 That there is more mining going on in the vicinity of Ketchikan than there is at either Valdez, Cordova, Seward or Fairbanks, is the statement made by the Progressive Minerin a recent issue. The paper reseuts the mention of all these other places by prominent min- ing journals of the coast and nothing said about Ketchikan. 1t says: "The Ketchikan precinct has several good mines that are being worked exten- sively. Others are being opened up which will make the precinct one of the most prosperous mining precincts of the country. Apparently some of those mining publications are informed only in spots"
 The Valdez Miner says: Four infor- nations were filed last week in the district court by District Attorney Spence charging the Tillikum club and former officers with having sold liquor without a license in 1914. Two infor- nations run against the Tillikum club corporation and two against officers in charge of the club at the time the dia- bolical ofense is alleged to have been perpetrated. At the request of the dis. trict attorney bonds of the individuals charged were fixed by Judge Brown at SlO0O each. Further than that Judge Brown will not act as he is disquali- fled by reason of having been a member of the club at the time of the alleged offense. Judge Jennings, of Juneau, will probably be asked to hear the cas- es. If so they can be taken up when Judge Jennings can come to Valdez. At least one important civilcas is to be tried soon by Judge Jennings on ac- count of the disqualification of Judge Brown. Members of the Tillikum club say they are indifferent to Judge Spence and any proceedings he may institute against them. The club bar was closed May 12, 1915, on receipt of the news that the circuit coart of appeals had decided that day that private clubs may not retail liquor without a license. The Tillikum club is an organization composed of business and professional men of the city, and large number of it's mem bership is composed of army and signal corps officers. It maintain ed a bar at which liquor was sold to mem bers, as in every other club in AL aska, until the court decision forced them to close up. Since then a buffet has been maintained by the club, but no liquors are sold, and the place has been the reception hall of all the nota- bles who have visited Alaska. This new move of the district attorney is meet ing with universal condemnation, as it is looked upon as another phase of the unpopular dock fight, and instigated by the same parties who have kept the town in an uproar the past five years,

On the follow lowing day the repudiated wife went hubby one better and cautioned the conddiug public against extending a line of credit to him on her account, stating very emphatically that she would not pay bis bills after that date.

 Messrs. Henry Nj. Stowe and D. T. Smith, both of Cleveland, Ohio, who arrived in Ketchikan last week from Warm Springs bay, via Juneau, gave the information to the Progressive Miner that "all arrangements had been made whereby a potash as we'll as pulp plant were to be established at Warm Springs bay, on Baranof island. Mir. Stowe said that they had just re- turned from Warm Springs bay, where they had secured an excellent water power and site for the plant and that early in the spring work on it's con- struction would be carried on. A semi mbination plant is intended, using the kelp from the vicinity for potash and timber for pulp."

DR.. NJ. Ashley Jones.

The New York Herald has paid high
compliment to DR.. M. Ashly Jones, a
noted Southern divine, we'll known in
this city. The Herald was discussing
Senator Hoke Smith and his utterances
on the position of the South in reference
10 cotton. 1t speaks of DIR. Jones as
follows:
Senator Smith and his associates were
the other day the subject of sermon
preached by the Rev DIR M. Ashly
Jones, of Augusta, Ga. DIR. Jones is the
son of a noted Confederate chaplain
under Stonewall Jackson and is repre-
sentative of the best life in the South.
He said:
What shall it profit the South if it
shall gain the whole world for its cotton
and lose les own soul?
ITO translate this teaching into terms
of our pressing problem we must ask,
How much, then, is a man of more value
than bale of cotton?
THE cry is going up that the South
is being made to suffer for fight which
is none of hers. But had we not better
clearly understand that this fight is ours
and upon the issue our destiny is deeply
involved with the rest of the world
DIR. Jones is son-in-law of Mr.. Chas.
S. Turner. of this county and his wife
was Miss May Jones, noted as one of
Kentucky's most beautiful women.

Mines Running.

With the advent of improved market
conditions in the Elkhorn coal fields of
Eastern Kentucky every mine is prac
tically running at full blast, turning out
big output which is meeting with a
ready market in some of the principle
trade centers of the country. The rail-
roads, including the Baltimore & Ohio,
the Lexington 81 Eastern. the Cheas.
peake & Ohio, the Carolina. Clinchfeld
& Ohio, the Louisville & Nashville, are
taxed to the limit to handle the output
of the mines which will reach several
thousand tons daily. The Lexington &
Eastern and Baltimore & Ohio are each
now handling obout 200 cars daily while
this is to be increased to 250. Practical
ly all tie mines made increases the first
of the month.
