 VALDEZ. Sept. 19-It is not gem orally known. even in Valdez, that what promises to be very large de- posit of magnetic or black iron, is now being developed near Valdez. Mark Tatum. the discoverer of the Granite mimic at Hobo Bay is al- SO the discoverer of the iron deposit which is located on Valdez bay, just below the mouth of Shoup Bay. Ta- mm has been representing the ground for two years and now has a tunnel mel into the mountain 116 feet, but be- lieves he win have to drift several hundred feet before the ore is found in place.
 The ledge, which is very wide, has been traced on the surface for a dis tance of over eight hundred feet, and in many places gave assay returns of better than S35 per ton. That the ledge is of enormous size is appar- ent from the fact that the glaciers in past ages have broken a boulder off the ledge which the miners esti- mate would weigh nearly one hun dred tons.-( (valdez Miner)

COL DBELT SAYS
 CLAIM LITIGATION
 IS USED AS WHIP


 Answer has been filed by the Alas ka Gold Belt Vo, A. B. Dodd, R. P. Nelson and Harry Lott, in the suit recently begun against them by Charles Goldstein, and others.
 The answer says that "if the plain tins have procured an order for min eral survey No. 1929, as claimed in their complaint, the said order mas procured solely for the purpose of hindering and delaying the defendants in procuring patent to said lands cov- cred by the survey, and for the further purpose of having the same executed in good faith"
 The defendants admit that they have been working and are at pres ent working on the claims in Ques- ton, and allege that they are doing the work required by law, and that it is this work which the plaintiffs re- fer to as their own.
 Further the defendants allege that not sufficient development work has been done Co determine whether or not the plaintiffs allegation that the property contains large bodies of gold bearing rock, and allege that SO far as the present developments indicate the claims arc worthless except as they may be worked in connection with the main mines of the defendant company.
 With the final allegation that the plaintiffs are trying to force the de- fendant company to 'buy their peace" the answer assetrs that by conveyance the entire properties have been transferred to them by the plaintiffs.

 Col John McElroy. past senior vice commander-in-chief of the Grand Ar my of the Republic. says that train ing in the use of the ride IS one Of the most important subjects to be considered at the conference.
 Good rinemen among the citizens are the best neucieus for our volunteer armies" declared Colonel McElroy today
 The National Rifle Association Of Americt claims to be the oldest and most practical peace society in this country It was organized in 1871 for the purpose of teaching the citiz- enry of the country how to efficient ly handle the army rine thus mak- ing it's citizens capable or becoming efficient volunteers to defend their country in time of need. Officers of the Association claim that if we had in this country a million citizens trained in the use Of the service arm that ii would be a more potent factor in the maintenance Of peace than the orations of @ million peace-at-any price men. This National Association re- ceives no federal support and It's work has maintained by the donations or periodically inclined citizens through tho taking out of life memberships.

Good Dispositions Boil Over.

spanking in the spirit in which it was
intended and We hope We shall live
more righteously ever after. But
we can't help boiling just a little
when a high place is degraded by US
ing It as a political trump. To our
mind the dignified, clear-visioned and
able Senator Root might have fell.
much the same way. the other day.

be such has to justify Itself by its
"Jitneys."

So much is said Of late concerning
"Jitneys" that we are publishing the
following from the Youths Companion
as acceptable information:
All of a sudden. "jitneys."-a. new
word to match ney phenomenon.
The word began to reach Eastern
readers late in January. We read In
Commerce and Finance that the word
.jitney" comes from the slang of the
street Arab, who has name for every
coin. A meg" is a cent, a lit" or
"jitney," is a nickel, "dirmo" a dime,
and a cute" a quarter. So jitney
primarily means five cents. In current
usage it means a motor car that trav-
els a regular route, and that in COM
petition with the street cars carries
passengers for five cents.
Jitneys have been a frst-page topic
in Western newspapers for some time
1t seems that a Kansas City man wens
TO Texas, and got back home on Janu-
airy 18th. The next day the Kansas
City Star printed his report that in the
Texas cities-Forth Worth. Dallas,
Houston. Galveston. and others
motor cars were running in competi-
ton with the street cars. That seemed
to Kansas City good idea, and jirneys
Immediately appeared in the town.
To start a jitney. all you have to do
is to have a motor car, know how to
run it, get a license to carry passen-
gers, and have a route assigned you.
On January 26th, there were lis jit-
neys running nimbly in Kansas City,
and there were loud cries for more. In
the rush hours big vans were running
crowded in the longer routes.
That gives an idea Of the speed at
which this interesting movement is go
ing. 1t has spread up and down the
Pacific coast. In San Francisco last
month there were 800 jitneys, in the
trans bay cities $50, in Los Angeles
1850, in Portland. oregon, IS, IN
Seattle 500. In those five centres there
we're altogether 2S75; they were taking
in $4,000 day, and their number was
increasing.
San Francisco expects a large and
prompt accession of two-story motor
BUSES. The prediction is made that
the jitneys, having demonstrated the
ability OF motor cars TO beat street
cars in their business, will presently
disappear, and the street cars with
them, and be succeeded by motor ex-
press cars built especially for CITY
passenger traffic.
That may be. but for the moment the
jitneys have the field. Whether they
can afford in the long run to do wha-
they are doing at the rate they charge
is still to be discovered; but for the
moment they are doing it with vim:
doing it on the coast" in Texas, Mis-
souri,, Iowa, and elsewhere. and will be
doing it, no doubt, everywhere in less
time than it takes to count The days.
The world seems to pattern more
and more after the ina gined world of
Mr.. H. G.. Wells. OF course the motor
car is still an infant but an infant that
is getting pretty we'll known. Its fu-
ture is unmeasured and immea surable.
In the use Of motor buses our cities
are far behind the cities of Europe,
which have never taken so kindly TO
trolley cars as we have.
