THREE BEARS IN
 SMALL GLASS JAR

That three bears can be confined in small glass jar Is now proven in Seward by a visit to George Sexton who keeps the jar in his hotel offie. The animals are dead but have been preserved by the work of Mrs. Forgy, the school principal
 These little animals were found on the day of their birth by Charles Wagner at the drainage of Tustumena or Kasilof lake. While MT. Wagner was engaged in hunting he saw the old bear in shooting her. Going into the den he found the three young ones but as they had just been born they had to be destroyed. Each is about seven inches long or the size of an adult" rat. The remarkable fact about this catch Is that it proves the time when the bear cubs are born. The season for the birth of bears has always been a mystery. 1t is said. Some doubted whether they were born while the mother was hibernatlng but the signs that the three youths in question were born on the day they were caught, which was January 25 last are unquestionable. When the mother bear came out on that day she returned to her den before being killed and would probably have continued her winters sleep had she not been sent to sleep flor good" As she re- entered the cave she covered the en. trance with grass, etc. and made every preparation to forget in slumber the fact that she become mother of trip lets.

ACTION BROUGHT INTEREST IN
 CLIFF MINE

A suit that involves title to the fa- nous Cliff mine has been filed in the district court, wherein Geo. c. Treat, Edmund Smith and Logan Archibald ask for a judgment against H. k. FL lis giving them twenty per cent of the mine, mining machinery and all the improvements now on the ground.
 From the complaint it appears that the plaintiffs advanced the sum of $500 to Ellis with which to make a test shipment to the Tacoma shelter Of five tons of ore taken from the claims, it being agreed that in consid- eration thereof that the plaintiffs should have twenty per cent of the property.
 As a result of this test shipment, the complaint further alleges that B. F. Willard was induced to form a com pany which was known as the Cliff Gold Mining Company to work the property. In the lease that was exc cuted giving Willard the right to work the ground it was stipulated that the defendants, Treat and Smith receive twenty per cent of all royal ties from the output of the mine.
 Smith afterwards transferred one fifth of his interest to Logan Archr- bald, and the complaint asks that Treat be declared one-tenth owner and Smith and Archibald one-twen, tieth owner each.
 The suit is the result of the plain tiffs asking the defendant Ellis to deed the interest claimed, and his re- fusal to do so. There is much valu- able machinery on the property, and it is believed by experts who have examined the property that there is much high grade ore that can be talk en from the lower levels. This will involve the expenditure of consider. able money, which will not be invest ed until the title is settled.

WAGE QUESTION DISCUSSED BY
 SOCIALIST
Editor Sunday Times:

Editor Sunday Times:
 In your issue of April 24 there ap- pears in the editorial columns a re- port from the Seward Gateway which win not stand a little reflection.
 The plea which the Gateway makes Is for high" wages, not excessive, but just enough to keep them at flair figure, "to compensate people for coming north"
 To keep wages at flair" figure no body will object, except possibly the employers; certainly not the employ ees. Any action in that direction is commendatory, even in the form of h. dustrial warfare-strikes, although this opinion may not be shared by the Gateway.
 In the first place wages can never be fair" Those who speak of flair" wages know little of their origin. Wages are a kind of oil that tends to keep the whole social organization going. When wages are fair there will be no wages paid There would not be anything gained by employing a person. It might be likened to a democracy where nobody is ruled be- cause everybody rules.
 The editor hopes that our Demo cratic government will set good ex- ample-uphold wages. Here's hop ing. But if there ever was a demo- cratic government since the begin ming of private property in the social means of life, 1t has never come to our notice. Moreover such a govern ment would not have any use for a wage system. The system will have served its historical mission, and be at an end This fact brings to mind one of the most unfortunate propen- sities of society that of perpetuating thing intended for a certain time and place. This is true of all insti- tutions, religious. moral, phiiosophi- cal, judicial-in fact all things, thus being a contradiction to the eternal law which holds that every natural thing produces forces of it's own de- struction.
 The illusion that some day Alaska will be as cheap as any place else is almost on a par with the one which he evidently holds in common with al- most everybody. namely, that the cost of living determines the price of la DOT. It doesn't, nor does the price of labor determine the cost of living. It is like the old question: which was first, the chicken or the egg? which canot be explained by deduction, req soning or lawyer fashion. A superior tool of the mind must be used. Dia- lectical or revolutionary reasoning must be employed.
 It is clear that the Gateway knows nothing of this method. Here's hop ing that he brushes up.

INCREASING ARIZONA OUTPUT.

FNRIGONH w = " ls
In Arizona the majority of copper
mines were affected by the European
war, and curtailment in output was
practiced, by many large producers.
Ali OF the copper smelters operated
at a reduced capacity, and one of the
plants at Clifton was closed until
March 1916.
Y. c. Heikes of the United States
geological survey, now reports con-
'ditions improving and all copper
plants brought to full capacity with
two new smelters blown in during
May. One of these, the Clarkdale
snlelter, will possibly eventually take
the place Of the old smetelr at
Jerome for the treatment of United
Verde ores. While the new Interna
tional smelter at Miami is built pri-
marily for INSPIRATION mine concen-
trate, it is likely to be in the market
for outside product BY this new ad-
dition, the copper output may be in
creased slightly but will probably not
exceed the record fguries OF 1913,
4O7, ,923 ,402 pounds of copper were pro
duced.
Gold production increased in 1914
and, according to all reports, is
promising to exceed either year in
1915, chiefly from mines situated in
the San Francisco district OF Mohave
county The chief producer in that
district in 1914 was the Tom Reed
mine, which yielded gold bullion val
ueG at $1,002, ,406. Developments have
disclosed in the new territory adja-
cent to theT ON Reed mine gold ore
OF similar character at depth of
300 feet. This discovery has stimu-
allied mining to large extent.
Silver has it's source chiefly in the
copper ores, but the output may be
increased during 1915 by the neew
work on the Tombstone mines and
teh increased production OF the Com
monwealth silver mine at Pearce.
The high price of zinc has stimu-
lated the production of zinc in many
parts OF Arizona, chiefly in Mohave
county, but producers without con-
tracts for the sale of the product
meet very little encouragement from
zinc buyers. No great increase in
zinc or lead is expected in 1916 over
other years.

Harqua Hala Development.


The old Harqua Hala is again com
ing into it's own, according to Gen
eral Manager Jack Martin Crosscuts
run on the sixth level of the famous
producer have encountered the ore in
both directions, and drifting and up
raising on the ore bodies are now in
progress. This is virgin territory
and both ledges are of good milling
grade. The company plans ON doing
development work before
starting up the mill, and from pres
ent Indications an immense tonnage
will be developed during the next
few months. The Harqua Hala has
produced upwards of four millions OF
dollars in gold in the past, and in all
likelihood it will produce as many
more. When it is con-
sidered that only a vertical depth OF
two hundred feet has been attained
in this property it's production in the
past has been marvellous, while it's
future is rosy with promise.

l. ong Way to Parker.

Jack Martin, general manager Of
the Harqua Hala mine, accompanied
by his wife and two daughters, start
ed from home last Saturday after
noon for Parker, where he was to
spend the Fourth as the guest of
MI. and Mrs. r. H. Fuller. Before
reaching Salome two tires went
fluey and he wired to Phoenix for
new. castings. They arrived on the
evening passenger, and after attach
ing them he again started on his jour
ney. The next streak of hard luck
encountered was when he missed the
Parker road where it connects with
the Planet highway, and as a conse-
quence he drove into Planet a little
after daylight Sunday morning. Not
showing up here Sunday forenoon,
the wires were kept busy between
here and Bouse and from Bouse to
Midway on the Swansea railroad, in
an endeavor to locate the missing
guests However, the party was well
entertained and looked after by Mr..
and Mrs. Jones of the Planet mine
But when Mr.. Martin attempted to
make the long grade out of the
Planet his motor refused to do any
more climbing, and he was forced
to get four head of mules to haul the
car to the summit. From there he
made the return trip to Bouse with
out mishap and came on to Parker
on the night passenger train. Mr..
Martin and family went long ways
60 get here, but they arrived in time
for the celebration Monday, but miss
ed a picnic on Sunday, which was
gotten up in their honor.

evening and at once got busy. Sud
denly appearing before a group of

above his head and loudly exclaimed
in imitation of John the Baptist. cry
ing i'll the wilderness: Behold, the
kingdom of heaven is at hand; repent
ye, and receive salvation Taken so
suddenly off their guard as it were,
some in the crowd at first thought
the man was cracked and that there
might be urgent need of the consta-
Bile, hut he soon made his mission
clear and acquitted himself of any
such suspicion. Pointing to the cal
amltous conditions prevailing in the
European countries, he predicted
great tribulations and sore travail for
this western hemisphere as well and
exhorted his hearers to flee from
worldly wickedness and be prepared
for the inevitable. He was listened
to with respectful attention, and at
the conclusion of his discourse asked
meekly for gratuitous contributions to
his cause, but the net receipts were
woefully slim.
