BONDING AND DEVELOPMENT
 COMPANY ORGANIZED VALDEZ

A corporation having for it's object the development of some of the ex- ceptionally promising mining proper ties of the Valdez district, and which bids fair to prove exceptionally pro- fitable for the investor, has been re gently organized here with S. A. Pep per as president, John Lyons, vice president, and T. p. Geraghty, secre- tary.
 The title of the new corporation is the Alaska Bonding and Development Company, and its activities will be di- rected toward the development of gold and copper mining claims, approved by the board of directors, either upon a working bond or upon an option to purchase. In other words, the com pany will supply the necessary capi- tai to develop properties having prom ising indications. upon which favor able terms can be secured to the point where they can be sold at a profit, or if mines are particularly valuable taken over by the company and worked.

 tree, the thunder oak," sacred to the pagan god Thor; the tongues of ruddy flame, the
 ranks of white clad warriors, women and childrea facing the altar; the hoary high priest and kneeling child, the victim doomed to die by the blow of the hammer, a sacrifice to Thor, the hammerer.
 Then the coming of Boni. face, the blow from the ham, mer turned aside by the cross, the rescue of the boy, the fall of the oak beneath the mighty blows of the apostle, the story of Jesus simply told and how sin, not human life, is the sac- rifice he asks.
