ANOTHER STRIKE MADE
 IN GRANITE MINE

VALDEZ Oct. 29-Senator B. F. mine, at Hobo bay, Port Wells. yes terday afternoon, bringing the news that another good strike had been made in the Granite mine, on a different level from the strike made last week.
 The new ore body was struck in an upraise and proved a surprise to the miners, as they were not aware of it's existence. It appears that, while running one of the up per tunnels some time ago. a lead was struck which was believed to be one of the surface leads that had pinched, and as it carried lit tie value it remained undeveloped. Later development work has shown that the lead was divided by a horse and that the ore body jus, uncovered is about twenty inches wide and very rich
 Senator Willard states that, while the extent of the deposit, or as tG whether it is continuous, has not been determined, he is satisfied that sufficient rich ore is in sight in the new deposit to yield S100,- 900 in addition to the ores already blocked out.
 The Granite mills will be started grinding the rich ores and it is eX pected that bricks of gold will be coming to Valdez with an even great CT degree of regularity than during the past year. A number of the Granite miners who were laid off while the upraises were being made will leave for the mine tomorrow morning on the launch Shamrock

PLACER MINING ON
 SEWARD PENINSULA

A new element of progress has on Seward Peninsula in the devlop- ment of economies that render gra- vels of lower grades available for exploitation, says Henry M. Eakin, surveyor, in a report on placer min ing on Seward Peninsula, recently published by the Survey as Bulle- tin 622I. Among these economies may be mentioned the removal of hazard in dredging operations, by tion of overhead costs by formation of larger companies that operate number of dredges under the same superintendency, reduction of fuel expenses by use of internal combustion engines burning crude oil, a more efficient use of steam in thawing frozen ground and a closer attention to economy in the commissary department.
 In 1914, forty dredges, with an average daily capacity of 42,000 cu- bic yards, were in operation on Seward peninsula, and employment was given to 1900 men for an ave rage season of 100 days The total production of the placers has an estimated value of $2,700,O00.

RICH QUARTZ STRIKE
 IS MADE AT NOME

What is said to be a discovery of the greatest importance to Nome has been made on Boulder creek by w. L. Cochrane, of the Boulder Mining company, through the un- earthing of gold quartz deposit containing almost fabulous values on the properties of that company. Samples of the ore which have been seen by various Nome people are Of exceeding richness and the gold content has been variously estimated Gold can be seen scattered through the rock and choice specimens are estimated to contain values as high as S25,000 to the ton. Five hun dred pounds of the rock so far eX tracted is literally shot with gold and from the statements of those who have visited the strike there is an unlimited amount in sight According to the statements of Mr Cochrane himself, he has banned as high as $615 from a painful of the partly decomposed sections of the lodges which were discovered below the bedrock surface The find was made at the bottom of pit some two hundred feet in length which was being mined for placer gold-Nome Nugget.

lRON-ORE DEPOSITS ARE
 FOUND NEAR kOk

Considerable local interest has been shown in deposits of iron ore in an area that centers about 25 miles north vest of Nome Alaska. Last year Henry M. Eakin, of the United States Geological Survey, made a hasty examination of some of the more important properties in this locality, and his report has just been made public by the Sur vey in Bulletin 622-I
 Five groups of claims are held in the iron-bearing district. but lit tie development work had been done on them at the time of the examination, so that it is not possi- ble to estimate the quantity of ore available.

CANDLE CREEK PRODUCTION
 TOTALS RESPECTABLE SUM

Information received here states that some fairly good cleanups have been made recently on Candle creek, and it is estimated that the output of the operations there for the season will run considerably more than s10,00O While mining has not been carried on extensive ly this season, the results are said to be most satisfactory
 Word comes from Fairbanks that Thomas Mckinnon, who is inter- ested with Tom Aitken in Candle creek property, will be an arrival in Iditarod rrior to the freeze up, and will soon thereafter leave for Candle creek.-Iditarod Pioneer

x-RAY CURE BEING
 USED FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 23-"Sci- entific application of the x-ray treat ment has proved so effective in the treatment of pulmonary tuber- culosis that it is possible, by pro viding specially constructed ap- paratus for every community and a skilled physician to operate it, vir- tually to eliminate, in ten years, death from pulmonary tuberculosis from our vital statistics"
 This was the striking assertion made today by Dr. Jefferson D. Gibson, of Denver Colo, in his ad- dress before the seventh annual meeting of the American Associa, tion of Clinical Research, held at Hahnemann College
 Discussing his cure for pulmonary tuberculosis, Dr. Gibson explained that in the treatment of one thou, sand cases, covering a period of twelve years, he had lost but per cent of the patients
 "Of course" said Dr. Gibson, mo time must be lost by the physician in making a diagnosis. The x-ray, which is used as intensified sun- light, must be concentrated upon the affected tissue scientifically and that necessitates the training Of physicians along that particular branch The x-ray in ten minutes be forced through the lung in many months by subjecting the patient to the sunshine"

DRILL WORK FINISHED
 ON BEAVER GROUND.

The Keystone drill that has lately been at work on upper Beaver creek has concluded operations there, so far as the present season is con- cerned. The crew came to town yesterday and their future program has not been ascertained but it is believed that the drill will be kept at work somewhere in the district. They are w. o. Robertson, Charley Drew and F. H. Barnett.
 MT. Robertson said yesterday ev- ening that he has not entirely sat is fled himeslf with regard to Bea- yer creek Working on the bench, he encountered a body of fine ap- bearing gravel, but at a depth of below 165 feet thawed ground was struck and continued drilling caused water to rise in the hole. It would have been simple matter to se- cure samples of bedrock by driv- ing casing, but to do so would re- quire practically all the casing available, and in case of accident the drill might es left without that kind of accasQTy all winter. Any way, at that particular point the ground is so wet that it is extreme ly unlikely that it could be success fully mined at so great depth. Mr. Robertson thinks that part of the ground along Beaver might be found to carry less water, or even none at all.-Ruby Record Citizen.

ABOUT SALARIES.

Salaries were first paid to ball players in 1868 by the Cincinnati club-Roger Connor, the famous old slugger, in 1,071 games in ten consecutive seasons, had a grand batting average of 325-Richard J. (Dickey) Pierce is credited with in troducing the bunt hit in the sum- mer of 1S76.-The first 10 game on record was played by the Chicago and St. Louis teams, n 1875, the former winning the contest.-O. Nicholson holds the record for the greatest number of stolen bases in a season. When with the Frank fort team, of the Blue Grass league in 1912. he pilfered Ill sacks in 123 games.-In 1913 the Meridian team, of the Cotton States league, was defeated in twenty-sM consecu- tixe games, the record.-The first no-hit, no player reaching first base game, in the history of base ball took place in 1876. James Gal win. of the St. Louis Reds, was the record making twirler, and he pitched against the Cass club, of Detroit The battle took place at Iona, Michigan, on August IT. The feat was repeated twice in 1879 by J. L. Richmond, of the Worcester, National league. outfit, on July ?, against Chicago, and on July 2S, against Springfield Again, on June 12, 1880, Richmond performed the same stunt against Cleveland and in the same year, on June IT, John M Ward, twirling for Providence, beat Buffalo in this kind of con test. No additions were made to these names until May 5, 1904, twen- ty-four years later, when D. T. (Cy) Young, of the Boston Americans defeated the Atheletics in a no-hit, no player reaching first, game, and A.

NEW WOMAN GOLF CHAMP.

Mrs Clarence H Vanderback. of Philadelphia, won the women's golt championship of the United States by beating Mrs. W. A. Gavin, of England, by 8 up and to play in the final round of the tourney at the Onwentsia club, at Forest lake The victory puts Mrs. Vanderbeck on the same pedestal which was occupied by Mrs. Arnold Jackson, of Boston, last year, for the Phila- delphia woman is now the holder of both the national and eastern titles. AS the national champion ship is a medal play test, the golfer who wins them both demon strates her worth in both phases of the royal and ancient game. Mrs. Jackson did it last year, and now Mrs. Vanderbeck has followed in her footsteps.

 "Whiskey has knocked me down many a time. But I got right up and went back. only to be put out fighter of the world They used to say everybody was afraid of me; but booze wasn't afraid of me. John Barleycorn was always challenging me, and it was a long, long time before l realized that there never can be but one finish to a bout with booze.

 AN HISTORICAL SCRAP.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-Joe Man dot, the New Orleans lightweight shaded Johnny Dundee in the ten round star bout at Ebbets Field tonight.
 It was one of the fastest bouts seen around here in some time. In the sixth round Mandot began to step in front, for he got his famous one two punch working without a miss.
 At least four times in succession he pulled this lightning stunt, and as fast as he was, Johnny could not stop them At last the little Gothamite slammed his left glove to Mandot's body repeatedly but could not stop his rival from exc cutting his masterpiece.
 Tn the last three rounds Mandot kept stepping along to the light ming pace set by Dundee and it was a case of slam for slam.
 In the final round Dundee cut Mandot's left ear badly, but Joe bore in just the same.
 In the semi-final Frankie Calla- han mauled Joseph Azevedo, the California Portuguese, in rough and tumble affair.
