Find Good Ledge
 On the North Star ledge, at Mile IS, out from Seward. the operators ran into d three foot lead of the finest kind of ore. The property is owned by Rudolph Peterson and r. w. Hawkins. For some time they have had an eighteen inch lead but broke suddenly into the real thing, The rock assays all tie way from S60 10 $9O to the ton and i'll every respect the property is showing up splendidly.
 To Develop Claim.
 Alfred B. Hes. the mining engineer ' n charge Of L C development of the Alaska Copper Corporation proper ties on Nugget creek, near the head waters of the kuskalina river. leaves on the Mariposa for Seattle to pre- pare for the development, of the com. pany claims this spring. says the Valdez Prospector.
 MT Hes will meet Paul Dubois. the consulting engineer of the company, in Seattle and they will plan the work for the coming season. It Is proposed to drive l.7OO foot tun- nel from the creek bed to tap the lead at great depth. The con- pany already have four levels open ed and have several thousand tons of high-grade copper ore on the dump which will be shipped out at later date.
 The company propose the building of a spur from the Copper river and Northwestern railroad to the mine and also a tram to connect the work ings with the road. This. however will not be undertaken until next year and in the meantime $175 900 will be spent in development work. The outfit for the work this season will be shipped from Seattle early in February and taken to the mine. The men now on the property have started the work of breaking the road from the head of Nugget creek to Strelna so that the outfit can be taken to the mine.
 Outlook Good.
 CORDOVA.-l. N Nash, the well. known mining engineer. who spent some time in the vicinity of Nc Carthy during the past summer and fall. says the mining outlook for the Copper river valley is very bright. according to an interview published in the Juneau Dispatch.
 The mining resources of tha; part of the country" said he. when seen in the lobby of the Occidental hotel. are looking better all the time.
 "McCarthy. near the end of the line, Is getting to be quite a lively. place. That is where the trail starts to go over the glacier to the Chis- ana disgings, and 1t is the supply point for the new placer district near the headwaters of the Chitina river, besides the nearest point for tte hydraulic plants which operate every summer under the direction of George Max Esterly. Howard Birch
 nd others.
 Practically all observers agree that here IS a great future for that part of the country. When the coal is opened 1t Is expected that the cost of operation will be lessened and better times and a large volume of business will naturally follow" GIMME HEAD

John L. Still Popular.
 Although two months past the age of 56 years, John L. Sullivan, who is on a theatrical tour of the United States is still rugged specimen of physical manhood. His old fighting weight, when he was in the prime of life as an idol of the roped arena, was 196 pounds, and he weighs some thing less than that now.
 Many persons believe the grand est Roman of them all' was born in Ireland He wasn't. He was born in Boston in 1858, and, to be exact on Oct. 15 He Is an 1rish-American --typically so. Sullivan is popular because he was an honest man in his business-he made fighting a business and for ten years he was undisputed champion fighter of the world
 Sullivan began fighting before some of the middle-weight men of today were born. His first bout of witch official record Is made was fought in Boston as an exhibition That was April 6. 1880. His oppon ent was Joe Goss. The match waa for only three rounds. No decision Is recorded for the event. but lit tie more than two months after that time he kept on climbing toward the top of the ladder of fighting fame

TREATING SEED OATS
Eight Per Cent are Rendered Worth
less By Smut.

Iowa Farmer: The extension de-
partment of the Iowa State College at
Ames has been engaged in a most
vigorous campaign the past month in
giving demonstrations among farm
ers in treating seed oats for smut. Re
liable tests last season showed that
at least eight per cent of the oats is
rendered worthless on account of the
presence of smut. This loss amounts
to hundreds of thousands of dollars
the state over. II is an awful penalty
to pay for careless indifference.
Seeding time is upon us. Every
farmer ought to take time to run his
seed oats through tanning mill and
weed seed The forRalin treatment
should be vigorously applied This is
easily done The formalin may be
bought at any drug store at from so
cents TO 81 90 per pint, and that will
do for treating about forty bushels of
seed. General directions for the treat
ment OF seed oats are as follows:
To one pint OF formaIin which
should be bought in sealed bottles TO
insure it's being full strength, add 40
gallons OF water. Mix thoroughly and
apply to the seed oats at once, this
amount of solution being sufficient
for forty bushels of seed.
Spread the grain on a floor or in
the bottom of a wagon bed. Use a
common garden sprinkler TO put on
the solution and sprinkle until wet,
mix the grain with shovel and sprink-
lie again. Every grain must be thor
oughly wet with some OF the mixture
or the smut will not be killed, put the
grain in pile and cover with blan-
kets or sacks for 10 TO IL hours, or
over night This will Kill some smut
which otherwise would not be touch
ed. spread the grain out and SOW as
soon as sufficiently dry.
The matter OF good seed is too i'm
portant to be ignored. Because your
seed oats may look fairly we'll is no
sign that smut is not present in sufii-
Gent quantities to greatly damage
the crop. An ounce Of prevention is
worth pound of cure" The use OF
lformaldehyde does both.

Il HOLDING OF SHIP
Germany Objects to Liner Being
Il Held at San Juan.
ATTEMPTED TO LEAVE PORT
Embassy at Washington Asks State
Department to Investigate Ae-
tion Of Authoritles--De-
tanned the odenwald.

Washington, April 7.--Germany has
protested to the United States against
the detention of the Hamburg-Am'eri-
can liner odenwaId at San Juan, Por-
TO Rico, under the neutrality regula-
tions.
Embassy Issues a Statement.
The German embassy asked the
state department to investigate the
action of American port authorities
in preventing the Odenwald from
leaving. The embassy issued this
statement:
1.-THE German embassy has request
ed the state department TO investigate
the case of the Odenwald. The cap
tain Of this steamer had asked for
clearance papers for Hamburg and
the steamer was searched twice thor
oughly by customs officials by orders
from Washington. The result of the
search having been satisfactory, the
captain was promised clearance pa
pers.
"After being kept waiting for three
days the captain believed that the
.situation forced him TO put to sea. dis
Regarding the rules of the harbor, be-
icause otherwise the assembling of
cruisers of the enemy which had been
Uniformed Of his intention would have
Involved the inevitable loss of his
ship.
Il cites Firing on Ship.
''When the 0denwald tried to leave
sharp fire was directed Immediately
against her from Moro Castle without
the blind warning shot having been
fired, which is usual, according to in
ternational rules.
"The fire was continued until three
minutes after the machines of the
Odenwald had been put on full steam
backward. II is attributed to lucky
chance no human life was lost"
United States officials believed the
IOdenwald was about to violate the
neutrality OF the United States by
carrying supplies to German ships at
sea, or was preparing to outfit on
the high seas as a converted cruiser.
They detained her under the neutral
lity resolution passed by the last con-
igress and a libel against the ship
under that law has been filed by the
United States attorney at San Juan.
