manuscript, written upon Egyptian pa
pyrus, has lately been catalogued as
"CXXXT' in the papyrus collection of
the British Museum.
The Library of Congress did not
enter the markets for the purchase
of literary antiquities until very re-
Gently, because it was felt that the
money appropriated should be expend
cd upon books of general use for their
contents, rather than upon rarities
chiefly valuable to the collector. 1t
has been the policy of the library,
also, not to purchase rare volume
until after it reached the second hand
shop or the auction rooms in order
that it may be secured by as small
expenditure as possible. Notwithstand-
ing these drawbacks, it is securing a
wealth Of antique treasures most cred
table to its single century of exist
encc, as well as gratifying to the
Americans who are interested in such
matters. This has been brought about
largely through donations and depos-
its made by private individuals.
The unsurpassed facilities of the Ii
brary for caring for rare works and
also for placing them at the service
of the persons capable Of being bene-
fitted by them is making definite APP
peal to wealthy private collectors who
are looking for final repository for
their treasures.
The collection Of incunabula now
assembled in the Library of Congress
is the largest to be found in this coun-
try and its condition is unsurpa sed
because of the care taken in its ar
rangement. Incunabula is a term used
by librarians to include all the books
printed before the year 1900. Most
of these were religious works and few
of them can now be bought except
from private collections. The collec-
tion in inunabula belonging to the
library has been greatly augmented by
the collection made by the late John
Boyd Thatcher of Albany, N. Y,
which has been deposited there. This
includes nearly 900 volumes. It's great
est treasure is a copy of the Psalter
printed upon vellum in the year 1457.
In the collection owned by the Lii
brary of Congress is another Psalter,
similar in character, printed upon pa
per, in 1889, which is almost equally
interesting. This rare old book has
lately come from the hands of Will
scripts for the Library of Congress,
who has mastered one of the most
difficult feats of restoration in his
work upon this book.
The restoration of manuscripts and
old volumes is fine art all by itself
and one requiring infinite skill and
patience. The repair room of the Lii
brary of Congress is located far above
the beautiful marble halls through

real attic worliroom where the work
ers are none the less ABSORBED in their
work because of the beautiful view
of the city commanded from their
windows. Visitors arc few because
the only entrance to this part of the
library is up a winding stair number
ing seventy-eight steps. The repair
work completed last week upon the
rare old Psalter was chiefly upon the
front pages, which were cmbellished
by illuminations in water colors. Il

VALDEZ CREEK IS
 COMING TO FRONT

J. c. Duff one of the pioneer pros pectors of tho Valdez Creek district and who owns some valuable ground there, was an arrival from the Inter- for Tuesday where he has spent the past summer in prospecting his ground says the Cordova Times. He has been operating a drill and reports striking some very excellent ground, which, after some further prospecting to de- tormine the method of operation, he will proceed to work on a consider. able scale.
 Mir. Duff states that Che outlook for tho Valdez Creel; district is ex. cepHonally good. The Valdez Creek Mining Company Boston concern which took over a large part of the individual holdings on che creek in. cludlng the rich Tammany belch group belonging to Pete Monahan, has installed probably one of the largest and best hydraulic plants in this sec. eon, and during the past summer have done an immense amount Of pre- paratory work, and late in the season a little mining but only for 9 few days. during which time 1t was dem- onstrated that they have ground that justifies the great outlay they have made.
 The ground the company is pre- pairing to work is the Tammany bench and other bench ground adjoining, A pipe line has been put in, carrying ample water for the purpose, under Q strong head. which viii operate two giants. The sluioe boxes have been installed having been sunk about six feet into tbe rim. and everything is in readiness to commence mining on a large scale next sprng.
 The mining conditions are almost ideal, there being a fall of about 80 feet to care for these taillngsi and ,the company has secured Q consider able area of creek ground to care for Che waste. It is estimated that these bench claims win yield enormously under the hydraulic method of min ing, as under the old tunnelllng meth cd by pick and shovel they have ale ready produced a largo sum, and 9 handsome profit over the cost Of working.
 Pete Monahan, who was the orlginol owner of the Tammany Bench, after selling it to the company purchased @ number of creek claims from other parties. During Che past summer he has done considerable prospecting on the ground, which, while showing up well. is deep.
 Carlson lanother of the pioneers of the Valdez Creek diggings, is also staying with the country after hay. ing sold his original holdings to the company He has other ground that he is prospecting with good results.
 The country in the vicinity of Val dez Creek is very highly mineralized, and it is anticipated that long before the placer fields are exhausted it will become a prominent quartz camp, as gold. silver. and other float is common, and the veins from which the specimens were detached will un- doubtedly be found by some Of the prospectors who are beginning Co visit that section.
