WHERE WHALES ABOUND IN
 PLENTY


 At Port Armstrong a great school of whales is sporting and cavorting in the clear, cold water and heading, as it were, for the big rendering station. Woe betide the unfortunate mammal if he comes under the watchful eye of the man behind the gun, for the gunners on any one of the star" whal CTS are as quick on the draw and trig ger as the baddest man who ever shot up" Medicine Bend.
 Port Armstrong is the summer home of the United States Whaling Company It is a Norwegian concern, very largely its owners and chief of ficers being experienced Norwegian whalers. The winter home of the fleet is Seattle, and the general agent is the well known firm of Balfour, Guthrie x Co The fleet consists of the Star |, Star H and Star III, with the usual outfit of small boats. At Port Armstrong the plant is well equipped and remarkable success has attended the effort of the company to establish there a large whaling indus try.
 Port Armstrong is on the Chatham Strait side of Baranoff island, that historic bit of land named for the Little Czar of the Pacific" who many years gone by ruled the mystical re- zion of the north from his castle above Sitka the Beautiful.
 The station is about ten miles from island where it juts out into the broad Pacific.
 The season is from May 1 to October l, and each year the fleet assemblies early for the campaign for bone, blub- Der and oil. The vessels cruise some 90 miles off shore, in the ocean from Ommaney to EdgecOmbe, and some times in Chatham strait, for, as at the hour of writing, great schools of the valuable sea animal come within har- booming distance of the station itself.
 The development of the United States Whaling Company is an inter esting chapter of the industrial up building of Alaska, and is but one more illustration of the vast riches that are included in the products of he sea along the 26,0O0 miles of coast line of that interesting territory. The waters abound in sperm, sulphur bot tom, humpback and finback whale, the first being the most valuable, This season the catch will be a great one; how great no whaler can predict, but in one season in the past upwards of 300 whale were captured, of which 72 were sperm. whale.
 Each vessel is equipped with mod ern harpOOn guns, and each carries chief gunners and his assistants. All the regular harpoon and boat equip ment is also carried along, and If large school is encountered each whale Is pumped with air to make it float while the fleet chases the others. Later the course is retraced and the floating whales picked up and lowed to the station.
 Here every modern facility Is at hand for cutting up the whale and eX- tracting oil, blubber, bone, etc. No thing is wasted The refuse is made into fertilizer, and at the end of the season the fleet returns to Seattle loaded down with the oil in barrels and all the other products ready for shipment to the market.
 Truly, this is a land, not only of big mines and vast area, but of big whales and while more or less an infant indus try, the time Is surely coming when the Alaska whaling fleet will dominate the worlds market in that special in dustry

STRIKE |S MADE BROAD PASS
 COUNTRY

After spending several months in the Broad Pass country, where they have been doing assessment work, Dr. l.. Renfer and brother, Charles Ken fer, have arrived in Fairbanks. They report that they, together with a man named Miller, from the coast, and several others. have made the great est quartz strike ever found in the interior. The strike is along Ohio creek, and of such proportions that it will be worked on very large scale. as soon as the railroad is constructed.
 Dr. Renfer states that the strike is about seven miles from the railroad and so located that it will be a simple matter to haul freight from the rail road. The lodges are exposed for hundreds of feet and contain gold silver and lead.
 Miller X Company, an outfit from the coast, which haS been working sln the district for some time, have sunk a shaft for a distance of 200 feet and have been able to trace the same ledge which appears on the surface.

TRENCH SHELL |S INVENTED BY
 ALASKAN

Jeff Bowling. formerly employed at the Bonanza mine, Kennecott, but for the past two years resident of Jul neau, has brought himself consider able renown of late through the in yention of shell for use in trench warfare. which promises to complete ly revolutiOnize the present war me thOds and make the trench, now one of the most relied upon methods of defense obsolete
 MT DOwling's invention is along en- tirely new lines. and promises to su- persede the present shrapnel shell en- tirely. The shrapneI shell, as now con structed, consists of a case, filled with an explosive and large number of bullets, which is exploded by time fuse, the bullets scattering over a wide area.
 In Mr. Dowling's invention the shells are filled with a series of small bombs which do not explode until they strike the ground. thus giving the double eff feet of an explosion and a missile Mr Bowling has made a model of a 6-inch shell, description of which will give an idea of the principle on which the shell works, and in fact, this shell is identical with all other sizes with the exception of the number of bombs contained. In the model shell are grouped three series of bombs, each series numbering eighteen, or a total of 54 within the body of the shell Through the center of the shell runs a circular opening of small diameter which in practical use is filled with explosive. At a predetermined in stant this explosive is fired by time fuse, rupturing the outer shell and scattering the inner shells over con outer shell also sets in operation the mechanism for exploding the inner shells. These small shells are provid- ed with tail which causes them to fall point downward and on striking the ground they are exploded by the blow driving small plunger against a percussion cap. In the event the shells strike in the mud or extremely soft ground so that the plunger fails to explode the shell a time fuse de- vice insures it's explosion.
 This shell is expected to make trench warfare impracticable, being far more destructive in its effects than the ordinary shrapnel, in that when the range has once been estab- Iished the small shells can be dropped into the trenches in numbers, eXplOd- ing in the trenches and making their occupation untenable. The shell also has a great advantage over the much used and deadly weapon of trench war fare. the hand grenade, as 1t can be used at any distance within the range of modern cannon, whereas the limit of the ordinary grenade when thrown by hand is bat few yards. but with trench mortars little over 800 yards.
 Mir. Bowling has been to the states recently with his model and drawings and has submitted them to several ordnance experts, who have pro pounced the invention great advance over the present form of shrapnei she'll and the firing device the most simple and efficient yet submitted. He also submitted the model and draw ings to agents of the warning Euro pean nations. and has received great deal of encouragement from them, and he has been requested to make a test of the shell before them, which he will arrange to do in the near future.

No Longer Menace to Humans.

Anthrax as an animal disease has
been carefully studied of recent years,
but its occasional appearance among
human beings has never attracted any
attention until recently. Although it
is described in most medical text books
many physicians are not familiar with
its symptoms. This ignorance of the
disease is the chief source of danger.
With preventive measures and cures
that have been perfected within the

it should be menace to human life
