Yakataaa and kataIIa Region.
Copper River Region.

| | The Kennicott Bonanza copper mine continued operation throughout the year, and total length of underground workings is now about 1000 feet. An aerial tram has been built to the Jumbo mine, where. the ore body has been opened to a depth of 400 feet. Some ore shipments were made from the Mother Lode mine in the winter of 1913-14, but most of the operations were said to have been discontinued when the price of copper fell in mid summer. Developments were contin- ued on the Hubbard & Elliot property by a long adit tunnel on the Albert Johnson claim. and work was done on the properties of the Alaska Consoli- dated Copper Co. and Great Northern Development O., and on the Rarus group of claims, in the Kuskulana River basin.
 Four hydraulic plants were operated in the Nizina and one in the Bremner placer district. There was one hydra ulic plant operated in the Chistochlna district, as we'll as eight or ten small CT plants.
 The placers discovered in the basin of Nelchina river, tributary to Tazlina river, in 1913 have not proved either rich or extensive. Auriferous gravels were found on several creeks, but only those on Albert creek have proved rich enough to exploit, and the output of gold so far has been insufficient.
 Prince William Sound.
 Two copper mines and five gold-lode mines were operated in the Prince William Sound region in 1914
 The Beatson Bonanza and Ellamar copper mines continued throughout the year on their normal shipping basis. An aerial tram was nearly completed and considerable underground work was done on the Midas copper mine by the Granby Co. near Valdez, before the decline in value of copper led to the closing of the plant. Some copper developments were also made on half dozen other properties on the sound.
 The Cliff mine, near Valdez, was operated until the early summer. 4 mill was installed during the summer on the Ramsy & Rutherford property, in the same district, and some gold was produced on this as well as on the Cameron & Johnson, Gold King, Mountain King, and several other properties.
 The mill at the Granite mine, in the Port Wells district, was operated for practically the entire year. A smaller plant was installed in the fall on the Golden Eagle property, in the same district. There was also considerable prospecting of other auriferous lodes in the Port Wells region.
 | Chisana District.
 A large part of the stampeders who went to the Chisana district in 1913 1914, returned without realizing theil expectations in the new camp. Never the less, some rich placer ground has been found in this district, though the total bulk of auriferous gravels so fal developed is not large. The tota gold output from the district in 1914 had value of about s250,O00. | came chiefly from Bonanza creek, bu there was also considerable outpu from Little Eldorado and Skookun creeks.

Copper.

The development made up to mid summer gave promise that 1914 would be the most profitable year in the his tory of Alaska copper mining. The financial stringency and collapse of the copper market that followed the break ing out of the European war not only closed down some of the producing mines, but also put stop to some very important developments. Up o about the first of August seven cop per mines were in operation, but at the close of the year only three were still working. Had 1t not been for the war at least nine copper mines would have been ready to ship ore before the end of the year. Probably the most important events of the year to the copper industry of Alaska were the re-opening of the Mamie mine, in the Ketchikan district: the installa- ton of shipping plant and the open

Lode Mines.

About 26 gold-lode mines were op- erated in Alaska in 1914 and produced gold to the value of about $5, 100 900. In 1913 30 lode mines produced s4,814,- SIS worth of gold. The decrease in the number of mines is due to the fact that several which were operated in the Fairbanks district in 1913 were idle in 1914. Juneau Is and will con- tinue to be by far the most important Alaska lode camp. Important pro- gress was made during the year in the Willow creek district. The Port Wells district was added to the gold-lode producers.
The Cordova daily times., 1915-01-07

The output of the other minerals, in cluding tin. marble, gypsum. quick silver, coal. and petroleum, in 1914 had value of about s2S5, 900, com. pared with s272.242 for 1913.
 Had 1t not been for the depression in the copper market the value of Alaska's mineral product would have been considerably greater in 1914 than in 1913. The gold-mining industry of the Territory as a whole was pros. porous during the year, as is made directly evident by the figures on out put, but a more important item of progress is the extensive dead work accomplished on large plants that have not yet reach a productive stage. No progress was made in coal min. ing, there being in 1914 only one small productive mine in the Territory and that in one of the Ignite fields. It is expected that the new law providing for leasing of coal land in Alaska will lead to the exploitation of the fields containing high-grade coal. The tin. gypsum, marble, and petroleum min. ing industries of Alaska had a sue. cessful year.
 The certainty of railway connec- tion with the Yukon basin has great ly stimulated both prospecting and mining development There was a noticeable increase in investigation of large mining enterprises in 1914 compared with previous years. This was due solely to the expectation of cheaper transportation.

neaiiy exactly because they are SO
natural. The writers are subject to
human weaknesses; they often exhibit
the fierce passions of their age, or
form narrow conceptions of Jehovah,
or seem to look only for temporal
promises; and yet their very failings
only bind them to us with a closer
bond, aAd place in clearer relief the
wonder of their strength, the perpet-
ual marvel of their faith. For the
steadfastness and sureness Of their
faith is, indeed, true marvel. They
walk in darkness, but have no doubt,
and amid dangers, but are without
fear. They that put their trust in
the Lord shall be even as the Mount
Zion, which may not be removed out
standeth fast forever'-such is the
continual burden of the Psalmists.
That Jehovah is merciful, loving, and
righteous, and that, as their fathers
put their trust in Him and were not
confounded," even so also it shall be
with themselves, is the firm founda-
ton of their simple creed, as 1t must
everywhere and always be the foun-
dation of all creeds, however complex;
and it is just, We believe, because or
this singleness, this simplicity OF
thought that the influence of the
Psalms is so universal. They make
their common appeal to all minds be-
cause they dwell almost wholly on
those basic ideas which underlie, not
one particular belief only, but all re-
ligious beliefs that have risen above
the stage OF superstition.

THE WONDERFUL
BOOK OF PSALMS
Best Known Because Il Appeals to

The Book of Psalms is perhaps the
best-known book in the world. No
other portion of the Bible speaks to
us, as it were, with more familiar
voice, says the London Spectator. 1t
has an intimate, and almost homely
charm which commends it at once to
the affections. Critics and theologians
have discussed in endless volumes its
origin, its Interpretation, or it's au-
thority, but neither comment nor con-
troversy much affects the countless
multitudes who love the Psalter. Men
do not come to it with curious intel
lects, but with yearning hearts. What
they seek in it is not learning or in
struction, but comfort, consolation,
and some confidence OF hope 1t is
to the sorrowful, the afflicted and the
despairing that these sublime yet SIM
pie hymns make their constant and
Irresistible appeal. And they do So,
they go home so to the heart, because
they come so directly from the heart.
They have that inspiration which Is
not less divine because it seems for
the most part human, because it seems
not so much a message communicated
from without as as an outfowing from
the deepest springs OF being, or rev.
elation of thoughts written on the
heart itself by the very finger OF
God"

.GEATEST BRIDGES
OF THE WORLD
Romans Were the First Great Build
ers of Stone Spans.

There is a great hope for the fu-
ture development of bridges in that
there seems to be a tendency among
financiers more closely to consider the
question of maintenance as related to
original cost in large construction en-
terprises, and this will unquestiona-
bly, induce them to build more largely
of stone and brick than has been the
case until this generation, says tnA
Metropolitan Magazine.
In the construction of stone bridges
the Romans were the first great build
ers. Bridge building was in fact one
Of the most interesting problems they
had to solve. In architecture and con-
struction they were indeed q most
original and artistic people, too lit
tie appreciated and studied by mod
ern Anglo-Saxons. They were the
forerunners OF our present construc-
ton. Until their time the Greeks had
not reached that measure of perfection
now SO much considered. and theirs
was the elimination of the slow ar
tistic development through the ages.
The Romans. however, had presented
to them untried problems to be solv-
ed which called for new methods OF
construction, and of these the bridge
or aqueduct was one Of the most In
teresting They were practically the
first people to use the principle OF
the arch and veussoir construction.
The Use of the arch principle, while
sometimes attributed to the Chinese,
was practically unknown TO the an
| cients of the western civilization un-
| til the Roman conquest. 1t has been
| contended that the idea OF the arch
| principle was first evolved by the
Etruscans; II this is true, it ia indeed
coming near to Rome.
Such wonderful bridges as the one
built by Caesar Augustus at Rimini
OF the Pont du Gard, the great aque-
| duct situated about twenty miles from
| Mines built across the River Gard and
attributed to Agrippa; the bridge OF
| st. Augustus at Rome started by Ad-
rian, and many others too numerous
to mention have scarcely ever been
surpassed. There seems to have been
a period between this time and the
twelfth century when few bridges OF
Importance were built, and it was be-
tween the years 117s and 1883 that
the famous bridge at st. Benezet at
Avignon was built. Several other
beautiful bridges soon followed, SIM
liar to it in construction. Then came
the early Renaissance bridges, also
too numerous to mention-the old
Pont Neuf being, perhaps, the finest
in Paris, the famous bridge attributed
to Ammanati, the architect, in the
sixteenth century at Florence, also the
largest stone bridge ever built in the
worlu, with span of 1873 feet, and
rise Of 60 feet over the Allier at
Vie.ne Breonde, France, or the
bridge at Chester over the Dee, 40 feet
high, with 2G0 feet span.
