WRANGELL'S NEW
 MINE PROPERTY
 PLEASES OWNERS

The people of Wrangell are elatod over the preliminary development Of the Groundhog basin property near that city located by w. D Grant and others and recently sold to J. c. Calvin and associates for Si0o000 or this sum Sl0.00O has been paid
 Tine Wrangell sentinel of Oct. 2l, speaking of the development Of the property says:
 "J. c. Calvin. James Tracy and w.. D. Grant. returned the first of the week from their trip to the mining property in the Goundhok Basin Mr. Calvin. who recently purchased the property, and Mr. Tracy a well known miuing engineer from Seattle are very enthusiastic over the prospects of the new dburict
 "Mr Tracy left on late boat for Seattle and Mr. Calvin went back to the claims taking eight more miners with him. Work will be started at once driving the tunnel into the ore bed. Two crews win be worked un- ca the ore body is opened which will probably take about six weeks If ev- erything is as expected by these men when the ore is opened a largo crew will be put Co work and machinery taken in to develop the property"
 The Sentinel of Oct 2S says.
 J. c. Calvin arrived in from the mining property In Groundhog Basin the first of the week. Tn speaking of the development of tho property, Mr. Calvin has to say:
 'We are driving the tunnel night and day and working three shifts and we expect to cue the 12-foot vein of ore which shows on the surface at depth of 210 feet within the next 20 days. We are working twelve men at present In driving the tunnel to tap the main ledge we have cut clear through one ore body three feet in width and another four feet In width, which runs very high in lend and sil- yer ore. On the opposite side of the creek from the present tunnel we have picked up two lodges. and tunnels have been started to tap the ore bodies; one Of which we nave already cut through and tho other one is expected to be in a short time Tho assays we have made of the different outcrop- pings have been very satisfactory and is very encouraging. The twelve.foot vein of ore we have traced for about two miles. the cross cuts and strip pings in different places has proven this beyond @ doubt AS soon as the lake and trai freezes, we are going to cut a winter trail to the property and will establish winter camp, and then take In a diamond drili and other necessary mining machinery to block out and determine the extent of the large ore bodies"
 Mir. Calvin is planning a power plant on NH Creek and also ten miles of an electric road and other necessary large scale and if the ore bodies com equipment to operate the mine on a tinue as they look now. operations will increase"

eouiNocTlAL sToRms

The widespread belief in the exis- tence of an equinoctial storm and In- dian summer comes. to a certain ex. tent under the head Of popular su- persdtions. If the eQuinoctial storm is defined as a rainstorm. lasting at least three days and occurring with in two or three days of the 21st of September then there Is very seldom a year when several equinoctial storms do not occur. The reason for the be- lief Is an equinoctial storm is probab- iy Che fact that about this time of the year the first storms of the winter type. with steadily falling tempera- ture and precipitation. make their ap- pearance. They stand In sharp con- trast to the summer type with sultry weather and thunder showers The storms of the winter tyre can occur, however, during any month of the summer. The amount of precipitation near the 21st of September has been shown by averaging the observations at many stations to be no greater than before or after this date.-(Met- .eorology)

TREASURED HEARTS

Before the Russians left Warsaw they sent away from that city its most precious relic. the heart Of Cho- pln which had been kept in @ casket in the Church of the Holy Cross there since 1S49 It is now in a place of safety at Moscow. sheliys heart was also preserved in @ casket. When the poet was drowned off Leghorn in 1922 bis body was cremated by Byron, Leigh Tunt, and Trelawny. and his heart rescued from the flames of the last named
 When King Robert Bruce of Scot land died in 1929 his heart, tco was preserved in a casket. It was given to his friend. Sir James Douglas, to be buried in Jerusalem. On his way out to Palestine Sir James Douglas fell fighting with the Moors in Spain, and as he fell be threw the precious relic before him on ihe battlefield, crying out. Nov, pass onward ag thou vert. and Douglas will follow thee or die" The heart was found next day by Sir Simon Leigh, who brought it back to Scotland, where it was buried iu the Monastery of Mel rose.-(Tid-Bits.)

DITAROD BEST
 ALASKA PLACER
 CAMP PER CAPITA

Former Senator Henry Roden. who is in Juneau for Q few weeks on busi- ness, says Iditarod is the best placer camp per capita in Alaska. He pre- diets that It's 1915 output will total S3, 3,OOO,00O-within S5OO,OoO to S1,000,- 900 of the total for the so-called Fair banks district, and the latter draws from several camps located 100 to 150 mics way, while the Iditarod output is for the district in the immediate vicinity of that town.
 "Of course" said Mir. Roden. Fair banks Is the leading town in the in- terior of Alaska, but that is not be- cause it is O better placer camp than Iditarod It is because 1t is the com mercial and official center of the In- terior country. and, as such, draws from the whole Yukon and Panama valleys"

Fleet Dlocovery

Twelve years ago a miner working on Twin Mountain Creek. close to Boulder Creek found a chunk Of quartz. from which he mortared three ounces of gold. The discovery was followed by @ stampede. and several small tunnels were driven into the hll in an effort to find the vein from which the piece of quartz was shed. The lead was not found and the con- clusion was reached that the rock must have been dropped there by some native in bygone days. or that some early Russian prospector had found it iu the mountains and had either lost or abandoned it while on on bis way back to the beach.
 That Russians worked portion of this country was determined by the finding of ancient Russian picks em- bedjed In the gravel on Nakkala Gulch It is now believed that the vein from which the rock was shed lies somewhere in the mineralized schist. which crosses from Boulder Co Twin Mountain.

u. S. MAKING A SURVEY
OF BENTON COUNTY SOIL
When Completed the Map Will Show
Different Kinds of Soils in all
Parts of the County

Washington, D. c., June Rep
resentatives of the bureau of soils, of
the United States department of ag-
riculture, are now at work upon a
complete soil survey of Benton coun-
ty, Washington. The party, it is ex-
pected, will take several months to
complete the examination and map
ping Of the soils of the county.
The department requests co-opera-
ton on the part Of farmers and land
owners with the federal soil survey.
They should be given facilities to
make borings and sample the different
soils. They are provided with creden-
tials which will be shown upon request.
AS soon as they have completed
their Investigations, they will make a
large map showing the various kinds
of soils and their location by means
of colors and shading. This map will
also show the location Of the principal
roads, schools, churches, railroads and
watercourses.
Accompanying the map will be a
complete report on the nature Of the
soils, their suitability for growing va
rious crops and suggestions for their
improvement by fertilizers, cover
crops and crop rotations. This report
and the map will not be ready for cir
culation for some months after the
completion of the survey.
