SEWARD'S LOW GRADE
 ORE GIVES VALUES OF $500

Recent assays made on the low grade ore taken from the mountain about two miles from Seward on Res urrection river have reached as high as six dollars to the ton. Samples of the minerals have been sent to assay offices in San Francisco and to Wash ington, but they have not been report ed on as yet. A. H. Case, the min- ing man who is here in the interests of the Miami Copper mining com pany of New York, sent samples to his company. z. N. Bergman of Se- attle who made the discovery says that there is between two and three billion tons of quartz in twenty-one claims.-Seward Gateway.

BROOK TROUT.
Science outdoes Nature In Raising the
 Young Fish.

Science outdoes Nature In Raising the
 Young Fish.
 The brook trout is a nest builder. but does not belong to the group of fish which cares for it's eggs and young. When the function of egg laying is completed and the nest covered with gravel the parent fish seem to feel that their whole duty has been performed. and they depart. leaving both eggs and the young when they are matched to the care of nature, and nature, it must be confessed. is generally neglectful of her charge.
 Early in autumn the mature brook trout in pairs seek the gravelly bot toms of shoals and spring runs. Here with nose and fins they hollow out shallow basin and make 1t scrupulously clean. This is their nest, and over the bottom the eggs are scattered. covered with gravel. and their duty to posterity is ended. ,.,t' ,'t ,'s
 Only small proportion of the eggs deposited naturally are fertilized, and many of these are destroyed by spawn eating fishes. Most of the tiny fish which do develop and succeed in punch ing hole through the egg shell with their little tails and emerging Into a watery world do so only to find quick lodgment in some larger fish.
 As a foster parent the trout culturist is a greater success than Dame Nature. The latter. under the most favorable circumstances, rarely succeeds in hatch ing more than 10 per cent of the eggs deposited. while the former expects to develop into wiggling fishes nearly DO per cent of the eggs obtained.

PRISONER ESCAPED ON
 WAY TO NOME JAIL.

Curly Lowell: the Koyuk min ing magnate or Council city deputy marshal, had quite an experience with a lone prisoner named Pierce, who formerly was one of the orna- lments of Uncle Sans fighting force. Pierce, 1t will be recollected, was brought up here from St. Michaeps during the winter and lodged in the bastile, charged with breaking into a government station at the mouth of the Yukon. He was taken out of the federal jail under bond and incarcer- ated in the Fort Davis guard house, from whence he made his scape. Pur- suing his way down the coast, accord ling to charges filed against him, he was constrained to annex consider able property including boat, stove, etc., as he went along. A John Doe warrant was sworn out against him and the Thomas put into Chinik to take him with Curley Lowell. Chris Jensen says they were unable to come back with the prisoner to Nome, as The had on board fifteen miners, all full of hopes of striking it rich In the Koyuk. After unloading these argo- nauts he returned towards Nome with Lowell and the prisoner. but owing to the bad weather they had to put into Moses for shelter Curley Lowell and
 Christensen had been up all night and day and the deputy placed Pierce
 upon his honor to remain without
 guard and thereupon sought refuge
 for his weariness in the arms of Mor-
 pheus. It was during this somnolent
 condition of Che deputy of the crew
 of the Thomas that Pierce made his
 dash for freedom. taking with him
 Christensen's gun and ammunition az
 a memento of the escapade. About
 three hours later the captain ard
 crew and the deputy awoke to iird the prisoner missing and Lowell took
 up the chase. They located Pierce in a cabin at Quick. but Pierce slept lihe

 them coming dashed out from the
 window, leaving Cl1ristensen's gun and ammunition in the small boat as he took to the hills. The last Chris jensen knew of the case the deputy was chasing Pierce to finish Nome Nugget.

WEEKS ADMITS HE MAY
 RE EPRESIDENTlaL CANDIDATE

PHILADELPHIA: Talk of my
 candidacy for President did not origi- nate with me at a1l," said Senator Weeks of Massachusetts, who came to this city to address Chamber Of Commerce delegation on the mer- chant marine. "But I am doing all | that seems desirable at this stage of the 1916 campaign" said the Sena- tor. "Whether I shall be candi- date depends on conditions as they develop"
 1 Asked as to the issues upon which
 the Republican party should make it's fight, the Senator said:
 '"rhe Republican Party ought to
 advocate a protective tariff; reas-
 enable preparation for national de fense; a general policy of encourag- ling individual efforts and the protec-
 ton of business enterprises; and the
 upbuilding of merchant marine. It should oppose any attempt to put the Government into the ocean transpor- tat1on business"
 Senator Weeks said the chances for a Republican victory next year were excellent.
 "The Democratic administration has very largely failed to carry out the claims made for it both during the campaign and at the time it's laws were passed:"' the Senator said. "This
 especially applies to the tariff bill,
 which has not reduced the cost of liv- ling, but rather increased it, has not not stimulated foreign trade, and has been the poorest revenue producing itariff legislation since the civIl war"

IS BUYING
 UNITED STATES COAL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Den- mark is another country that has added itself to the list of European countries that will have to depend on American coal next winter, because the British supply will not be avail able. The Danish government las just received cargo of American steam coal for her navy, the first shipment being 2,60O tons, as an ex- pertinent. If this coal is satisfactory it will displace the British coal for some time to come. It is believed it's steaming qualities are as good as the British product and that a good deal more will be bought. The price laid down in Copenhagen is $13.3S ton.
 Danish coal operators are watch ing the Government experiment with interest, and if it turns out all right will be in the market for a large quantity. Consul Winslow, at Co., penhagen,. says in a report to the De- partment of Commerce that Denmark, next winter, will be forced to depend very largely, on new sources of coal, and the United States seems to be the only available source. There is, however, great concern as to the at- titude of Great Britain in allowing cargoes to pass.

PERFUME OF MUSK.

Tho Odor ls Penetrating Because the
 Substance Is Radio active.
 The extraordinarily penetrating pow CT of musk perfume is accounted for by the fact that it is radioactive. The United States consul at Chunking. China, writes that this property causes the odor to be carried through the air in way that would otherwise be i'm possible. And he adds that this radio. active property affects most peculiarly the natives who carry 1t. If it is held close to the body for any length of time it produces sores that are proba- bly similar in character to those caused dby pure radium.'
 Musk is q secretion of certain glands or pouches of the male musk deer and is secreted. anly during certain seasons of the year It is difficult to obtain pure. and une of the largest French manufacturers of perfume keeps rep resentative at Tachienlu, near the Dthetan border. for the sole purpose of buying it.
 Three thousand pounds of musk on an average are shipped every year fFom Chunting, and fully half of this llas passed through Tachienlu. which is ,sne of the principal musk markets of the world, though eighteen days jour- ney from Ghunking. the nearest port.

well bred addressed Andre.
Hello, Albert" heard some one
exclaim. Haven't seen you since
the Art Students ball. Where have
you been hiding yourself?"
Andre looked up with a not very
cordial expression on his face. Like
most people not very sure of their
own dignity. he always was exceed.
ingly careful to make others main
tain 1t for him. Although, In this
instance as It turned out, the man
who spoke TO him was an editor of
one of the magazines for which he
worked. II was, therefore, almost
impossible for Andre to be sharp
with him. Also l saw the man cast
mo glance which fingered upon me
more or less admiringly. Obviously
he purposed to remain until Andre
introduced me to him. The best
thing TO do wag to got 1t over
quickly. And apparently Andre
realized this, for with half vexed,
half apologize gesture he said:
miss Barmore. may I introduce
Mr.. Sniffen? Sit down, Sniffen. VIII

And Mr.. Sniffen, being OF the type
which Is always quite sure Of its
welcome. seated himself between
Andre and myself without further
ado. Also he began at once TO en-
terrain me. Probably had he told
the truth he would have admitted
that I was doubtless bored until he
came. Now he did his little best
to brighten me. And Andre became
quieter and quieter. Always the
man for whom l cared was not n

there were women about him to adj
