CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
 WANTS RATES REDUCED.

The Nome Chamber of Commerce believes that with a reduced rate on salt to the north and favorable rates upon shipments of cured fish to the states that good fishing in-
 dustry could be created here. The rate on salt has been $15 per ton from Seattle and the rate on fish
 rrecluded the possibility of northern fishermen competing with other sec
 tions of the country closer to the out
 side market. The herring and codfish-
 cries in the north have hardly been
 touched and bid fair at some future
 date to be a renumerative business
 when rate are more equitably adjust ed to its needs. The Berring sea-her- ring have been pronounced by ex- perts to have no superior anywhere in the world.

hanks to receive all of her mail all the time, certain we'll known Fair banks business man was talking a few days ago. Among other things he stated that years ago he was well acquainted with MT. Praeger and at that time he and all of their best business associates thought Praeger was one of the biggest nuts" ever known in that part of the country in which they were.
 It was matter of 20 years ago that MT. Praeger and the well known Fairbanks business man were asso- ciated in way. They were not busi- ness associates. for both of them were reporters working on the San Antonio Express For the Fairbanks man is one of those with most eventful business career.

ALASKAN ORES IN BIG DEMAND
Fairbanks Miners Contract to Ship Three Thousand Tons of Anti
 nOny Ore Next Spring.

SEATTLE. Jan. 13.-The Ameri- can Yukon Navigation company, op- |erating steamers on the Yukon and other rivers in interior Alaska, is making every effort to encourage the shipment of ores from the interior to the States in order to secure the tonnage for their river steamers and Ito assist the miners in developing their properties. D.!
 Contracts have: been closed with w. R. Taylor of Kantishns and Si Scra ford and the Northern Commer- cial company of Fairbanks, for car- rying their sntimony ores to the States for treatment. 5*g .l-.
 The ore shipments will be brought from the interior of Alaska on one of the first steamers via St. Michael and will be sent to San, Pedro, Calif., where especial plant for handling oresi has been established.

WORTHLESS IRON
 ORE VALUABLE
Colorado Miners Discover that For tunes were Discarded while Sill
 yer Mines were Operated.

DENVER, Colo.. Jan. i3.-Hun. dreds of thousands of tons of suppos- edly waste material which was thrown on the dumps of the mines in this state are now being worked over and returns greater profits than that recovered from the original pro- duction.
 It now appears that this supposed ly waste material was nothing less than tungsten. and runs high in val ues to the ton. To the miners. who were after silver, the iron ore which contains the tungsten was worthless and was discarded. Many of the old dumps have been found to contain from seven to twenty-five per cent tungsten.
 The discovery of the fact that the iron ore carries tungsten has caused many of the old silver mines which have ceased producing owing to the tow price of the white metal, to be re- opened and become active producers.
 Tungsten forms the basis of high speed tool steel as it retains its hard ness up to low red-heat, and the big demand created by the munition fac tories has caused the price of tho metal to be trebled since the begin ming of the European war.

LOWER YUKON CAMP
 IS VERY PROSPEROUS

Recent mail advices from Ruby, the lower Yukon river camp, are to the effect that the camp Is showing up better than ever before and that next springs cleanupsfrom winter dumps will be greater than that of last year. New pay has been found on Spruce, Midnight, Poorman, Tamarack and Straight creeks. A discovery, which promises to be extensive, was made on Low Mountain between Poor1nan and Cripple Creeks. The use of drills to prospect wet and deep ground has aided. in locating a number of new |paystreaks. ..s~ .-..< ;

well conducted losing campaign on
that issue against Governor Dawson
In 1904, and there is now every indi-
cation that history will repeat in his
campaign against Judge Robinson.
No alarm should be felt by Repub.
lieans over the alleged sentiment in
West Virginia for President Wilson,
as shown by the straw votes being
published in some newspapers, for this
sentiment has been very carefully de-
veloped by the representatives sent
out by the newspapers in question,
to take the vote. In Blue1eld a few
days ago small groups Of men were
canyassed on the streets and in the
hotel lohhies, and straw votes taken
only after the Democratic leanings Of
the crowds had first been ascertained.
In Hinton and Charleston the same
practice was pursued Colured men, in
nearly every instance Of straw voting,
were excluded, and on many Of the
ballots Democrats arc known to have
voted twice.
