The Cinns5ar Properties

Fifteen miles above Georgetown, on the banks of the kuskokwim river, considerable activity is going on on "Cinnabar row" E. w. Parks has a crew at work getting out quicksilver bearing rock, while he is super intending the smelting, which he is carrying on in a furnace of his own design and pat ent, and which differs materially in con srtuction from anything heretofore used for smelling that ore. The ore here is unique in that nothing like it has been found in any other part of the globe. It IS very rich.
 The Fuller & Willis properties lie a few thousand feet down stream from the Parks claims and are being prospected by Al Walsh for a Chicago company. He has a crew of men at work to determine the eX- tent of the ore body; and the coming winter he plans to drive tunnel into the noun tain just above the water level.
 Several quicksilver claims just below the above properties are being prospected.
 On the Holitna
 Fritz Tittel, "the man who found the pay on Candle" with crew of men and two power drilling outfits, reached the kusko- kwim river late in the summer from Seattle by way of the portage, considering travelling by boat from Seattle little too hazardous He brought two boats across the portage one seventon boat, equipped with power His men are at work somewhere on thl Holitna, where he is confident that he vii find the paystreak that all the prospectors have for years believed to exist there
 Among the prospectors whose faith in the Holitna is very strong is Tom Taylor. Las winter was his third winter there and was the best season he has seen for freezing down holes, which was the method he uset for sinking to bedrock, The past winter was noted for having no soft spells. MT Taylor found very large body of grave running from 1 F to 3 cents to the pan fol seven feet in depth, but practically nothing when he found bedrock, where he naturally expected to find good pay.

INTERESTING FACTS CLEANED

Military bands came into existence about 1GS5-in the reign of Charles II. That
 monarch had partaity for music. Any how, it was he who, by royal warrant which he issued in that year. authorized the
 employment of twelve musicians in "the company of the kings regiment of foot guards in London" Furthermore, in order
 to secure higher pay for the musicians than was granted to the other Tommies of
 that day, the merry monarch very hon esly' directed that a fictitious name
 should be borne on the strength of each of
 the other companies of the regiment quar-
 tered in the country" The money received for the payment of these Tommies who did not exist was then divided among the bands men-a simple, if not very straightforward,
 arrangement, certainly.

Russia must organize lumber enterprises slong American lines if it is to supply lum- ebr for reconstruction work in the sections of Europe ruined by the war, the Russian American Journal of Commerce points out. The need for lumber, says that journal, will be the great problem confronting Europe after hostilities cease. The timber trade of Central Russia, it is said will not suffice for meeting the tremendous demand and the enormous timber wealth of northern Russia, the Caucasus and Siberia must be drawn upon American methods should be intro duced to prevent the trade from being di- verted elsewhere If the needed changes are introduced it is claimed that the result will be the retention by Russia of the most de srabIe world markets for lumber.
