CORPSE SACKED
 AWAITS COMING
 OF THE CORONER

Hanging in a tree in a sack, where it was placed last August bH those who found the remains, the corpse of an unknown man awaits thc coming of the coroner. The place where the corpse is hanging Is the divide be tween McManus and Faith creeks, according to the report of recent ar rivals in town It is now understood that federal officials are preparing to investigate the matter.
 The remains of the man were found last August and the report ot the find sent to the federal officials here. Instructions were immediately issued to those who found the corpse 10 put t in safe place, there to await the arrival of the officials and the holding of an inquest over the re- mains. The inquest was not held al llt tune that lilt II9' N''' found on account of the illness of Commissioner Samuel R Weiss of Chatanika. in whose district the body was discovered.
 There is no clew as 10 who the person was, nor can anyone say concerning the probable length oi time that the man has been dead. It is also impossible to state whether or not there was foul play in connec- tion with his death
 The skull was separated from the remainder of the body when the re mains were found On one foot was rubber shoe and on the other d leather shoe, while the mates 10 both shoes were lying nearby. This is taken as proof that the man, who ever he was, became footsore while travelling And from the position of the body at the time it was found it is also thought that he was sitting down at the time that death overlook him.

CRANKY MINE
 LOOKS BETTER
 ALL THE TIME

Recently the Midas mine, at Solo mon basin, just across the bay from Valdez. entered the list of shipping properties, its first cargo of 1900 tons of ore having started for the shelter at Anyox B. C., on a barge in tow of the tug Arctic. This prop crty, which has been under active development for several years past. is the latest addition to the pro- ducers of the district, and promises 10 be one of the largest
 The property now belongs to the Granby Consolidated Mining, Smelt- ing X Power company, d British Co lumbia corporation, to whom it was sold a little more than two years ago. At the time of the purchase by the company the property had been sufficiently developed to demon strate that the ore body was of enor- nous size and carried ore of more than the average richness. Follow ing it's purchase the company i'm mediately commenced work in fur thrr developing the mine and in in stalling facilities for shipping the ore. During the spring and sum- mer of 1914 this work was carried on with vigor, d wharf and ore bunkers being constructed, the lat tram placed between the mines and the bunkerS, a distance of about four and a hal> miles. In the late fall, due to the European war, work on the property was suspended and nothing further was done until the spring Of 1915, when a comparatively small crew of men was put to work, continuing development work at the mine and finishing up the installa- ton of the tram This crew was worked all summer and practically completed the machinery installations as well as taking out a considerable quantity of ore in the process of de- yelopment. This spring work in the mine was again begun with larger crew. Much new machinery was in- stalled for the efficient working of the property, and prior to the de- parture of the boat recently there were fully three thousand tons of ore in the bunkers
 The mine is one of the best equip ped for the economical mining and handling of ore in the district. Ma chine drills are used, being operat- ed by air from a compressor driven by Diesel engine of 250 horse power, the first of it's kind ever in- stalled in this section, which also drives the electric plant furnishing lights for the mine and buildings.

 This big Missourian has for one of his notices. Be cheerful" The cultivation of a cheerful disposition is one of the most important essen tials in physical development, he SAYS. and to have sunshine" in ones everyday life it is necessary to de pend largely upon the elements of nature
 Boyd is 36 years old. and mar ried. He has 100 acres ot the finest farm land in Pike County. and is the fsther of three growing boys. He ht,s no desire for the life of the professional strong man al.h'nsh now and then he has demonstrated his wonderful powers. including his chest expansion" at nearby conHty fairs and at soC.al affairs a- home.
 Hard work, plenty of il, and whole some food are largely responsible for Boyd's strength and good health. He says that he has never known a sick day. Open life on the farm has made him rugged and strong. He does not know the taste of al coholic liouors; nor has he ever smoked. He eats almost anything but is inclined to be in sympathy with the diet of the vegetarian.
 His present weight is POP pounds, and there isn't an ounce of surplus fat on his whole frame His hours of labor at home are generally start ed at 5 o'clock in the morning and concluded at s o'clock at night. Three evenings of his week are given over to class of youngsters in physical culture.
 Boyd breaks a steel chain by the expansion of his chest Ten strong men, he claims, are unable to break this chain when pulling together with their hands. The chain is placed about his chest with the customary strap to hold 1t in place. Suddenly Boyd's chest expands 14 inches and the chain Is snapped in twain. Dur ing this feat his heart stops one beat. Boyd does not believe in lift ing dead weights, as he says they stiffen mans muscles. Real lift requires action, he says.

mine is now producing a large amount of ore, and it is anticipated that in the future shipments to the smelter will be made as frequently as the company can furnish the necessary trans sportation At the present time it is contemplated barges in tow of powerful tugs will be used, but later the company will probably put one or more steamers on the run.
 The Midas property has an inter esting history. It was first located by H. E. Ellis, who subsequently located the famous Cliff mine away back in 1900 or 1901. MT Ellis held the property for several years, but finally allowed it to revert to the government. Later it was located by A. E. Hes, who, after doing some development work on the claims, also permitted his location to lapse. Chas Debney and John Cantln were the next locators, and for several years they performed the annual as Sessment and opened up some high grade ore. About four years ago a party of Valdez men took an option on the property and started active development work on the claims, with the result that large body of high grade ore was opened up. Through Stephen Birch, now president of the kennecott Copper Corporation, the Guggenheims became interested in the property and took a working op- ton on the claims. The develop ment work was placed in charge of w. E. Dunkle, one of the Guggen- helm mining engineers. and an amount estimated at more than $5O,- 900 was expended by him in opening up the property, the result of which was that the claims were pronounced no longer prospects, but a mine. Just as it was expected the Guggenheims would take over the property, a diff ference concerning the time of pay ment for the property arose between the buyer and seller, which resulted in the relinquishment of the proper ty to the owners. Within short time after the present owners sent an engineer to examine the property, and short time later, on his report, purchased it.
 The Midas mine is pronounced by experts to be one of the best copper properties in the Prince William sound country. The vein varies from one to fourteen feet in width. and has been developed by several tun- nels which have been run in the ore for distances up to several hundred feet. On the surface the highest showing is about $50 feet above the lower tunnel The ore carries gold and silver in appreciable quantities, beside it's copper contents.
 The claims also cover another vein nearly half mile distant from the vein on which the principal work has been done. and from indications this second vein is fully as rich as the other, although at this time com paratively little development work | has been done on it.-Valdez Miner. |

OPERATORS IN CLEARY GREEK
 ARE IN TOWN

According to reports from Cleary, received from some of the operators in that section, there will be much work done in that section this winter. Most of the opereators are now in town and they expect to go back to the dictrict in the course of week or so.
 Conditions in the region were not very promising in the spring, as the operators were not able to secure enough wood for their work How ever, this fall things began to pick up and the reseult was that the fall season was very successful.
 There are many plants that oper- ated in the latter part of the season. The prospects are that there will be many dumps taken out there this winter. The camp gives promise therefore of being a live one this winter. The operators are consider ably encouraged by the promising aspects of the camp. It is estimated that the camp will need a thousand cords of wood for the winter season.
 There will be considerable pros pecting in the district this winter. Bloom has sunk prospecting shaft, as have also Sam Weiss and other prospectors Many others will do prospecting along the creeks, so that the chances for further strikes in the region are good.

 Play is A fundamental means in education. because it is a natural instinct In play child initiates it's forebears and repeats their life's history in many ways. \ desire to excel Is in every child It should be encouraged.
 The gravest handicap the Ameri- can boy has is his father. Through many physical deformities by indulg- ing in one or more of the manifold forms of dissipation and the negleSt of his physical education. his weak nesses are transmitted to his chil- dren.
 Boys should never be allowed 10 train so long or as strenuously as men, as nature is unrelenting and one of her demands is that no per son should engage in physical eNer- ton that will use up the supply of bodily energy and vitality that is re ouired for the proper growth of bone and muscle
 Youth is the growing time; all i exercise should be of the kind to promote growth rather than retard 1 it. The object of physical training i is to bring the body into natural and original state of health and man, i lv vigor, so that man may sustain an unusual strain upon his powers 1 without that injury which is insepar | able from a want of condition. ! The popular notion that to train i means the undergoing of all sorts of hardships in order to increase the muscular power for time, with the result of undermining and permanent 1 injury to the constitution in the 1u ture may be dismissed at once as ut terly wrong.
 No hard, fast and irksome adher ence is necessary. nor is it impera tive that any kind of course IT gymnastics should be followed to the letter, in order that good results may be obtained They should be adopted only insofar as they may be suited to the constitution and physical power of the individual,
 Training, though, means above al things an adherence to regular hab its, regular meals and regular anC iudicious exercise. A proper atten ton, in fact, to what We eat anC drink, an abstinence from strong drink and a clean life generally are the chief attributes.
