Desire of Railroad Increased.

The rapid advance of Gen. Perish
ing's force into Mexico has increased
the desire of those. at army head
quarters here to be permitted to use
the Northwestern Railway for moving
supplies. Cruces, a point that prob
ably will be reached by one of the
cavalry detachments, is almost 200
miles from the border and Lake Bib
cora like distance. 1t was pointed
out that any delay in getting supplies
through from the border to Casas
Grandes from where they can be sent
forward to the mobile units operating
south of there might interfere serious
ly with the plans of pursuit. Gen.
Funston evinced no Impotence, but he
did show concern and expressed the
hope that Gen. Carranza would not
misunderstood the motive for his re-
quest. =

CAME IN OVER
 THE NEW TRAIL

Joe Eglar, Walter Fisher and two other men arrived in town last night from the Tolovana country. They made the trip over the new Goldstream route, being the first to travel that way since the big snow storm. And despite the facr that the storm drifted the trail very badly in places they made the trip with a team of horses and a ligh@ sled in five days time.
 Now that the trail is broken it is expected that traffic ovCr it will start as soon as a sufficient num- Der of roadhouses to accommodate travellers are established. The first roadhouse after Ester is passed, should the traveller go by Ester in place of Happy, is the Ohio After that, the traveller must camp until he gets to West Fork, althUCsn it is stated that two tent road horses have already been put up.
 Ross & Savers expect to leave today or tomorrow for the new camp with the caterpillar, They will go over the new trail They are taking in a large load of sup plies for Gus Peterson.

B|SMUTH MINE
 ID BE WORKED
 IN THE SPRING
PROMISING LEDGE OF BISMUTH DISCOVERED ON THE
 TOTbTtaNikA

That bismurh mining may event ually be one of the industries of interior Alaska, is very evi- dent from the fact that d good sized ledge oi rock. carrying the metal in commercial quantities. has been found in the Totatlanika coun- try The ledge is owned by Jack Leach and associates, who are now contemplating opening up the ground in the spring with the idea of min. ing and shipping the ore
 The extent of the ledge is not known. Where discovered it is about 15 inches in width and that the ore carries bismuth in conner cial quantities has been demonstrat- ed by tests which show it to be from 10 to 20 per cent pure.
 The commercial value of pure bis muth is upwards of $500 to the ton MT Leach and associates therefore feel that. If their ledge is extensive. and it's contents will be determined in the spring, they have a fortune in sight
 Bismuth is one of the easiest metals known to mine. It meltS al temperature of 26S and threetenths degrees centigrade, and can there fore be smelted with wood fires. The plan of operation of Mir. Leach and his associates carries with it the construction of small shelter where the rock will be smelted, thus obviating the necessity of shipping the ore Outside and paying trans porto''--, and Outside smelling charges on it.
 the first considerable body of bis muth ore to be located in Alaska Heretofore, most of it used in the United States has been imported from the mines of Saxony and Bo- hemia, although the State of Con necticut has mines from which a considerable quantity of the ore has been taken. During the year 1911 approximately 86 tons of bismuth were imported into the United States at a cost of about $311000.
 Bismuth is used chiefly as con stituent of alloys and amalgams. Combined with other ingredients it is also used as medicine and in face powder and paints.

Wa tn. statement of Jack Pomeroy super. intendent for Mir Scratford 7eho arrived in town last night oH tho stage from ( trip to the DUtstd" Mr. Pomeroy went Outside over thC trail after the close of the mining season and since that time has been sojournng ill the states alon. tAe coast.
 The mining man statcs taa, F. expect, to have at least 1000 ton- of antimOny ready for shipment hy the opening of navigation. Ed Quinn who is interested in the propositicn. has been busted all winter in open ing up the ledge, therefore Mr Pcmeroy f"sl& that il will To n trouble at all to put on crew Of men and take out that much ore at least However, he will take
 more ore if it is possible, as it is
 the intention of MT. Scrafford and associates to ship out all of fhe aHtimony they can. In other words they are making hay while the sun shines for they feel that there is no telling when the war will
 stop and it is predicted that shortly , thereafter there will be a slump in the price of antimony which will not be pleasant to the operator who has dug a large quantity of ore cpu
 of the ledge and who still has it
 on hand
 ! MT. Pomeroy reports that tArl
 ore during the coming season than they did last. Their proposition : last summer was merely one of de 1 velopment. MT Scrafford having
 been the first man in the Panama Valley to successfully mine anti mony ore It was Mr Scrafford E IlltulIOll " Itl It N"Hl OulSllt lC secure a small smelling furnace and smelt at least part of the ore here | thereby obviating tine necessity of paying transportation charges on large quantity of unproductive
 rock
 MT. Scrafford himself is in San
 Francisco at the present time, a'-
 cording to MT Pomeroy. He is i eXpo ted to arrive in Fairbanks
 within the next month or six weeks
 While he was in Seattle he was told of an anthony proposition near
 Seward, and made a trip up the
 coast to see what it looked like, but
 decided not to try to do anything with it.

TANANA CLUB ID
 C|VE B|G DANCE

Although TO official announcement of the affair has yet been made, it is known that in the very near future dance will be given in Fair banks under the auspices of the Panama club, the mems social club of Fairbanks, which will probably surpass anything given during the winter. Arrangements for the af fair are now being made and it is probable that they will be announced during the coming week.
 The history of the Panama club is replete with social doings which never have been surpassed by any other organization in the city. It is therefore probable that the club will live up to it's reputation and that the coming affair, in the mat ter of grandeur, will make former social functions appear as nothing

TANANA RIFLE CLUB NOW HAS
 NEW OFFICERS
ELECTION HELD YESTERAY- MEMBERS MAKE PLANS
 FOR THE FUTURE.

Yesterday afternoon at the offices of Attorney Guy B. Erwin the Tana- na Rifle club held it's annual cleo ton of officers Dr. N F. Hal! waS elected president of the orsaniza- tioI. Joseph C. Morrow, vice presi
 dent; Guy B, Erwin, secretary: Peter
 LOrentzen, treasurer; Leslie NJ. Drury executive officer. The meet ing was an enthusiastic one ill every respect, in view of the fact that
 but very little interest in the clui, has been taken for the past year
 The members of the club present at the meeting yesterday decided on several new plans of procedure
 which, it is believed will be a bene,
 fit to the club members and to others who contemplate joining the Or ganization. For one thing. the rule providing for an initiation fee
 was suspended until May l. There
 fore all who now wish to join the organization may do so by paying one years dues, $5, in advance.
 Io further encourage residents of the city to join the club if was the sense o1 the meeting yesterday that the rule providing for the us" cf Springfield rifles only also be
 suspended Therefore those who ] iAi, ln n1,,h ,oJ- kind of high power rifle they see fit However if it is desired, the club will send for the regulation Springfield rifle upon the payment of the proper sum by the new mem Der
 Another encouraging feature of the meeting yesterday was the de cisi0n in regard to school boys. For it was decided that rifles, of Krag- 1 Jorgenson manufacture, which are furnished free to rifle clubs by the ! government, together with 150 rounds of ammunition. will be furnished 1 to boys of school age who wish to i JCln the cluD ana learn 10 shoot. II ! is probable that there will not be enough guns to go around, but one of the officers of the club stated yes terday that an attempt will be made
 to get at least one rifle for every
 four boys in case a sufficient num- Der of young men signify their in
 tention to learn to shoot.
 The members of the Tanana Rifle club. as well as many other
 Alaskans feel that. In view of the fact that President Wilson's policy of national preparedness is sweep ing the country, that branch of citizen soldery will soon be estab- lished here as we'll as in other parts of the United States. Therefore, when the time comes, those who belong to the Panama Rifle club will have had the advantage of learn ing to shoot at long range. while these who do not will have to learn
