OCEAN RATES
 HAVE SCARED
Costs $3.25 To Get 100 Pounds of Cot ton From Galveston To Bremen
 May Go Higher.

GALVESTON, Jan. 15.-Increases m ocean freight rates for cotton from Galveston to European ports since the outbreak of the war range from 55 cents to $2.85 per hundred pounds. Before the war rates to Liverpool, Havre and Bremen were approximate ly 45 cents per hundred; to Barcelon- ia and Genoa 65 cents, and to Goth enburg and other Scandinavian ports 50 to 65 cents. Present quotations to these ports are: Liverpool, $1 per hundred pounds; Havre, $1.20 to $1.' 25; Bremen, $3 to $3.25; Gothenburg, $2.50; Barcelonia and Genoa, $1.25.
 Scarcity of neutral tonnage is giv- en as the reason for the present high rates to Bremen. The tariffs to Liv- erpool, Havre, Barcelonia and Genoa are much lower than those to Brem- en is due to the ability of shippers to obtain British ships.

 TAKES B|G DROP

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Arrivals at the port of New York were 733,504 persons in 1914 against 1,334,914 in 1913, according to the figures made public yesterday by the Immigration Commissioner Among the arrivals in 1914 were 573,675 aliens against l. 163,993 aliens in 1913. The aliens who departed from this port in 1914 num- bered 418.8S6, against 3S1,06S in 1919.
 The falling-off in immigration was marked before the war started. June shows the greatest drop of any month of the year. In June of 1914 only ST. 139 aliens arrived against 136,69O dur ing June of 1913. The causes of the decrease, aside from the war are said to be the curtailing of work in this country and an effort on the part nf foreign governments to restrict immi- grafton by providing work at home and bettering the condition of the working classes.

WILL OPEN UP
 COPPER CLAIMS
Hes Leaves On Mariposa for $175,0C0 Outfit for Development of Nug-
 get Creek Claims.

Alfred B. Hes, the mining engineer in charge of the development of the Alaska Copper Corporation properties on Nugget creek, near the headwaters of the Kuskalina river, leaves on the Mariposa for Seattle to prepare for the development of the company claims this spring.
 MT. Hes will meet Paul Dubois, the consulting engineer of the company, in Seattle and they will plan the work for the coming season. It is proposed to drive a 1,70O foot tun- nel from the creek bed to tap the lead at great depth. The company already have four levels opened and have several thousand tons of high grade copper ore on the dump which will be shipped out at a later date.
 The company propose the building of spur from the Copper River and Northwestern railroad to the mine and also a tram to connect the workings with the road. This, however, will not be undertaken until next year and in the meantime $175,0O0 will be spent in development work.
 The outfit for the work this season will be shipped from Seattle early in February and taken to the mine. The men now on the property have started the work of breaking the road from the head of Nugget creek to Strelua so that the outfit can be taken to the mine.

ANCIENT CRAC0W
 HEART OF POLAND

Cracow, which the Russians are trying so hard to take, is the ancient capital of Poland, the city round which cluster most of the glorious memories of that lost but not for gotten kingdom. There for more than four hundred years the kings of Po- land were crowned and buried, and for more than three hundred years it was their seat of government.
 There lie buried Jan Sobieski, who delivered Vienna-and thereby all Europe-from the Turks; Poniatow- ski, the famous general who became one of Napoleon's marshals; Mickie- wicz, the poet of Poland, and Kosciu. sko, the patriot hero of the Poles. The tombs of all four are in the Stanislas Cathedral, beautiful Goth ic church built in 1859, that crowns the Wavel, a rocky hill that rises on the edge of the town. There are oth- CT fine churches in the city, the Aug ustinian and Dominician among them; and there is also the great Royal Castle, which was long the residence of the kings of Poland, which fell to the uses of barracks after the king dom was divided, and which has with in the last 50 years been restored.
 The city also contains a very fa- nous old university, which dates from 1864, and in age is second only to Prague among the universities of Flu rope. The intellectual and artistic achievements of the Poles and the Bohemians, attained six centuries and more ago, show that the Slav is cap- able of the highest things. He IS weakest perhaps in the organization of government, for Poland, long the Bulwark of civilization against the Tartar and the Turk, fell at last be- cause of the endless dissensions among its brave and brilliant nobility. Cracow itself was founded about 700 A. D. More than once it was destroyed by the Tatars, rebuilt and recolonized by Polish, German, and Bohemian settlers. From 1905 to 161O 1t was the capital of Poland; later it was part of the grand duchy of Warsaw, and from 1915 to 1916 it was, with it's immediate neighbor- hood,*a free and neutral state, a dis tinction it lost, when internal disord. CTS gave Austria an excuse to step
Valdez daily prospector., 1915-01-15

in and take possession or the town.
 One of the most interesting things in Cracow is Kosciusko Hill, a mound of earth on the top of the Borislava hill. It is made up of handfuls of earth brought by Poles from eve"y corner of the kingdom, and thrown to- gether to form memorial to the Pc fish patriot, composed of the soil of the country he loved so well. Across the River Vistula on Krakus Hill there is similar mound, which is said to be almost twelve hundred years old; it was, so tradition says, raised in the same way to the mem- ory of Krakus, the Slavic prince who founded the city.
 If the war results in an autonom- ous or semi-autonomous kingdom of Poland, Warsaw instead of Cracow may be it's capital, since it is more centrally situated and much larger. But to the patriotic Pole, Cracow is always the spiritual centre of his fatherland-the "heart of Poland"
