THE new laws against the sale of liquor in British Columbia are very stringent So much so that prohibi- tion will undoubtedly prohibit in that country. The first offense against the laws means from six to twelve months in jail with no no alternative of a fine; the second offense means from twelve to twenty-one months in jail. As a further precaution the govern- ment takes charge of the disbursing of all liquors for sanctuary, medical or mechanical purposes. In view of the extremely heavy penalties the man who is accustomed to tilt one into his system before breakfast will have to do business with the bootlegger, and the offense is not likely to be re- peated.

RICH ORE SHOOT
 DALEY.bENNET
REMARKABLE SHOWING IS MADE
Visitors to Property Report 1t One of the Richest Ever Struck In the Sound Country-Ore Studded with Free Gold.
Free Gold.

Arrivals from down the sound re- port the opening up of a rich pay shoot on the Daley-Bennett property on Beetles bay which exceeds any thing struck on this property, which has gained a reputation for extremely rich ore: Samples brought up from the property by S. E. Pepper, who has an option on the ground bear out the assertion that the newly discovered pay shoot is extremely rich. and dis interested parties who have recently visited the claims, state that 1t is the richest ever found on the Sound.
 The new ore shoot was cut in the face of 250-foot adit, run in on the vein from the Bettles bay side, and taken in connection with the other pay shoots previously encountered doubt no longer remains that this property will prove of the most pro- fitable mines in the sound country. A visitor at the mine a few days ago states that he saw one piece of the ore weighing 15O pounds taken out while he was there that was so filled with the gold that the yellow sheen of the metal was plainly visible at a distance of about 100 feet Other visi- tors to the property who have return ed to town within the past few days ar m inn in hn hn the property has the richest showing of any in the district, and that not the slightest doubt exists that the claims have graduated from a pros pect into a mine that will be big producer. The vein is reported to vary from three and half to five feet in width and is readily traceable for distance of more than five thousand feet over the divide to the Hummer bay side. At this latter point some development work has been done. sufficient to demonstrate that the ore body is continuous and carries good values.
 Development work on the property is being carried on under contract with the locators, who have still con siderable work to do before complet- ing their contract. MT. Pepper is rather reticent in speaking of the re- markable showing made, but admits that he is more than pleased, and ex- presses the confidence that the further development work contemplated will show results equally as good as those heretofore produced.

tkoths, Butterflies and BsstIss Make
 Long Distance Journsys.
 Mir. William Evans, a Scottish natu. ralist, who has made a lifelong study of the fauna of Scotland, obtained from a dozen Scottish lighthouses 241 species of insects, which include two butterflies, 159 moths, eighteen caddis flies and iacewings, forty diptera, ten beetles and a dozen other species. Most of the specimens were males. To reach the Isle of May, in the Firth of Forth, where Mir. Evans collected most of the insects, many of the speci- mems must have flown across several miles of sea.
 In his records Mir. Evans calls atten. ton to several other extraordinary flights of insects.
 Thus, the painted lady," or thistle butterfly Pyrameis carduD, has been known to cross the Alps; the red ad. miral butterfly (vanessa atalanta) has landed in numbers on the deck of a vessel 5OO miles from the coast of England; the common white butter flies cross the English channel in clouds; the famous milkweed butterfly Danais archippus). abundant every where in the United States, is said to make the 2,O00 mile journey from California to the Hawaiian Islands and has gradually progressed by way of the south sea islands as far as Aus. tralia.
 A death's head moth has boarded "a steamer POO miles off the Cape Verde islands. Clouds of ledybirds miles in extent, so that they resembled smoke from steamer, have been seen at sea. A swarm of locusts that passed over the Red sea in 1889 is said to have ex- tended over 2OOO square miles. and 1t was estimated to weigh 42.S50,OOO,OO tOnsl

PROsPECTOR ENLARGED.

Commencing today and continuing as long as we receive the splendid patronage now enjoyed from our citi- zens, the Prospector will be enlarged four more columns, making twenty eight columns Instead of twenty-four as heretofore. The columns are also two inches longer, giving our read CTS a much larger paper for the same money.
 We are endeavoring to give our readers one of the best, If not the best. papers in the Territory, and are using every dollar received in patronage for that purpose. The expenses of publi- cation have been quite heavy, and the increasing cost of paper stock makes a change to a larger paper run the expenses up considerably. but our subscription books show that the people of Valdez appreciate our work and render it possible for us to place this city in the van in the newspaper field.
 We have made arrangements for a larger and better news service, and have added several hundred dollars worth of equipment to our already large plant. Valdez has the distinc- tion of being a live town, and the ap- pearance of our advertising columns bears out the assertion.

A POLL of the attendance at the average prohibition meeting will show that those present constitute about one-half of one per cent of the tax payers of town, and generally the more ardent they are on the matter of prohibition the more anxious they are to escape taxes. In the matter of changing the laws producing revenues for city or in disbursing the same, no one but taxpayers should be al- lowed to vote on the question. The man who foots the bills should un- doubtedly be allowed to say how they funds should be expended. The aver age irresponsible voter has no concep- tion of saving money or expending 1t, and nine times out of ten his vote is only used as a means of getting even" with some one.

SLOW ACTING NERVES.
Earthworms and ciams In No Danger
 of the Strenuous Life.

Earthworms and ciams In No Danger
 of the Strenuous Life.
 The common earthworm has two sorts of nerves.
 One of these is a thread running lengthwise of the body ~between the places where head and tail would be If the creature had either. This nerve has only one use-to carry the signal to shorten up.
 So when the worm, keeping under ground by day, comes by night half way out of it's hole and suspects. though he cannot see, the early bird looking for breakfast, whisk goes the signal along the nerve thread, one end of the body flattens out and locks fast in the burrow, and the rest pulls into safety.
 This sort of nerve carries 6 message at the rate of yard and half a sec ond, or about seventy times more slow ly than our own do.
 The other sort of nerve takes care of the crawling. Signals along these nerves travel only an inch a second If our inner telegrams were sent as slowly, it would be a whole minute from the time the pitcher threw the ball till the batter started to swing his club at 1t
 Yet, as the simpler creatures go, the earthworm is not especially sluggish. The fresh water clam. for instance. gets word from one part of it's body to another at only half the earthworm's rate. So it is 2,4O0 times slower than a man.-Edwin Penney Brewster in St Nicholas.

Booze Traffic Almost Fatal

ASTORIA, Oct. 2.-The liquor traffic conducted by the schooner Tramp outside the three-mile limit nearly cost the lives of two fishermen yesterday, when their boat was saved from destruction on the south jetty by government lifesavers. Both men were intoxicated to a point of utter helplessness, according to report made yesterday by Captain John lund, of the lifesaving crew. The coast guard crew reports that the Tramp sailed south Tuesday.

IF ALASKA goes dry the result may be directly attributed to the sa- looms themselves. The indifference displayed by the average dispenser of the cup that cheers is appalling when
 you consider the far-reaching effect
 1t will have upon community if his business is confiscated and his taxes lost to community. The prohibi- tionists are working night and day to carry the Territory dry, and are gain ing converts rapidly. Many mer. chants right here in our own city are in favor of dry town, believing that people will pay their bills better and that their finances will be improved
 under a dry regime. Unless those

who believe in the sale of liquor un- der municipal regulations get active and work for their belief they will undoubtedly be greatly surprised at the sentiment against the liquor traf- fic. The financial side of the ques- ton is the greatest lever the saloon men have, but they are as mute as a clam when it comes to letting the public know their claims.

 A process of taking a photograph on the leaf of a plant is described in an article by Dr. Hans MOlisch in Die Umschau, a translation of which ap- pears in the Scientific American Briefly, the process is as follows:
 Fasten a negative with strong con- trasts to a very smooth, thin. hairless growing leaf, such as the Indian cress, scarlet runner or nasturtium, and leave 1t exposed to strong sunlight for sev. eral hours. Then cut the leaf from the plant, steep 1t in boiling water for half a minute, then immerse 1t in warm 30 per cent alcohol After a little time the leaf, now white. is immersed in a dilute tincture of iodine. The result is a positive photograph. often of surpris- ing sharpness.
