The big chunk of silver gray metal was taken from lead upor which a gang of workmen have been doing development work for some time and now have the vein traced for a distance of three thousand feet. Numerous open cuts have been made to demonstrate that the ledge is in place.
 The specimen is approximately eight inches thick and Capt. Pea body states that the vein varies from three to twelve inches with the ore body gradually gaining in size with depth.

NEW RIVER
 DISCOVERED

Ruby Record Citizen: That a hitherto unknown river of consider able proportion was found on his late trip sOuthward from the Tan ana is the strange news brought by Il. NJ. Eakiu, Of the geological survey, last Saturday. The river Is not indicated on any map; neither has il been spoken of by any of the people supposed to be most conyersant with the general out line of the region through which 1t flows. Its outlet Is in the Tan ana at an undetermined point above tor east) of the mouth of the Cos ua, and it is notably larger than the laSt-uamed stream.

Mir. Eakin left the Tanana a few miles above the mouth of the CosDa the 12th of June, and grad ually worked his way back over successive terraces of silt and sand until he reached a considerable ele- Yation, This terraced region abounds in lakes formed in blOwouts in the sand, and there are likewise numerous sloughs, which often re- Quired bridging in order to cross. It was in this environment that the River of Doubt was located. From a high promontory its course was plainly outlined for a long way bo4h up and down stream. From ln- dications it's mouth would be about ten miles above the Cosna, though the location of its outlet is con jectural, for its course could not be discerned after it entered the lowlands bordering the Panama.

with view of putting a mill on the ground for the reduction of the ore.
 Samples of the Ore analysed by c. L. Constant, of New York, shows 65 per cent antimony, a trace Of gold and silver, but no other metals are present. Captain Peabody Be- cured several splendid pictures ot the vein with the miners doing de- velorment work.
 Anthony has always been in steady demand as 1t is used exten- siYely as an alloy with other metals and for chemical and medicinal pur- poses. It is the only metal in gen eraI use which contracts with heat' anI this property makes 1t tnValu- able as an alloy for metals such as steel and iron, which expands with heat. Anthony is also used very extensively in the manufacture of shells and other war munittona' and the European war has caused the market quotations to advance sharply.

C., Oct. 7-The contract for the construction of a new United States Coast and Geo. detic survey vessel has been award ed by Secretary of Commerce Red field to the Manitowoc Shipbuilding and Dry Dock company, located on Lake Michigan at Manitowoc, Wis Consin.

A NEW UNITED STATES COAST
 GEODETIC SURVEY VESSEL

President West, of the Manitowoc company, who came to Washington to consult with E.. Lester Jones' superintendent of the United States Coast and Geodetic survey, about the construction of the vessel, saya she will be finished in much less time, possibly as early as the first of next August, which will leave amply time to take the vessels to tha Atlantic coast before the close of navigation in the Great Lakes.
 A remarkable feature of the award of this contract lies in the fact that a shipbuilding company located in Lake Michigan should build an ocean going vessel destined for service in Alaska. This bringa home the important commercial fact that after all the Great Lakes a1- tending far into the interior of the American continent are for all practical purposes part of the At lantic ocean. It also speaks well for the enterprise of the shipbuild- ing company which is to build the vessel.
 Secretary of Commerce Redfield is much pleased at the prospect of getting the new vessel ahead of time. He considers the charting of the waters Of Alaska 8 vital part of the work of his department.
