ALASKA'S MINES.

Che important feature about the report Of the federal bureau of miuag on Alaska is the great de- veroumept recorded in lode min ins, .bo permanent phase of the minins industry in contradtstincttoR to placer mining, which is general ly ephemeral. There is record ed among the improvements for the wear the completion of one 5OO- ton copper plant, one unit of the great 1O,OOO-tOn milling plant for ore carrying gold values, and sev- eral small mills and cyanide plants.
 or the 5000 men now engaged in mining in Alaska, S5 per cent are working g placer properties, while s per cent are now engaged in hard-rcck mining, The remaining 10 9rr cent are working in quarries or on dredges engaged in placer mining.
 The opening and development of hard-rock mines in Alaska means the establishment ot a great and permanent industry, one which will be su operation generations from NOW. Placer mines are worked ou, within a relatively brief peri cd. Tts opening of new placer dis trists means a great rush, the building of a boom mining camp; fortune, for the few and wages for a portion of the others. Then the mines are worked out, the camp drops back and sometimes goes entirely out of existence.
 Lode mining means permanence; steady work at fair wages for a constantly increasing army of men; solid little cities, with homes and all of the surroundings of a sub stantiel manufacturing city. The future ot Alaska is largely to be haseS upon the development of lode properi-s; the great mills and smelte-s which are being established ana which are bound to expand to eucrmous proportions
 Alaska has passed through it's first period of mining development. It is entering upon it's real, i'm por.ant and permanent expansion with the opening and the develop meat of it's great lode mines, only a very few of which are yet among the producing properties, where there will in time be thousands

MANDEL BROS MAY BREAK THE BACKBONE

jury claims does not deter us from
spending more money il life or limb

"Mandel Bros patronage depends
to a degree on the good will of the
people and a fender is fine way to
express our thoughtfulness of their
safety. The moral obligation to save
life, if fender makes this possible,
is the biggest thing in my eyes"
Those fighting to put tenders on
auto trucks believe that if Mandel
Bros install tenders the backbone of
the fender opposition will be broken.
If Mandels will show the way, the
lesson which the death of Catherine
Goggin, secretary of the Chicago
Teachers Federation, taught Mar
shall Field & Co. will be enough to
break down any remaining opposi-
ton, they believe.

Mandel's will install it on our eighty

PERRY DOZIER AND MISS
COLLEY SECRETLY MARRIED
Dawson Young Couple Plight Troth
in Macon on July 18th

The announcement of the marriage
of Miss Mary Colley and Mr.. Perry
Dozier, which took place July 18th
in Macon, came as a surprise to the
closest relatives and friends of both
young people, so closely had they
guarded their secret. The ceremony
was performed at the Methodist par
sonage by Rev. Mr.. Heath in the
presence of Mr. mad Mrs. Ed Pace,
formerly of Dawson.
AS the bride was going to Mt Airy,
N. c., for a stay of three weeks the
announcement was withheld until her
return to Macon, where she now is.
Steps are being taken to obtain hon
orable discharge from the army, in
which capacity the groom is now
working, and meantime the bride is
staying in Macon until his release.
Both young people were reared in
Dawson, and have many friends here
who wish them long and happy life.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mrs. Fannie Colley, and is quite a
talented young woman, while the
groom is a son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S.

HARRIS FULFILLS PROMISE
TO THE STRIPPING CHILD
SENTENCE OF FAMOUS PRISON
Err COMMITTED BY GOVERNOR
TO PRESENT SERVICE.

ATLANTA, July 20. - Governor
Harris late Saturday afternoon COM
muted the sentence of Thomas Edgar
STRIPPING, who since he was located
at Danville, Va, in 1914, where he
was serving as chief of police of that
city under the assumed name of ''R.
E. Norris" has been at the state pris-
on farm near Milledgeville serving a
life sentence for the murder Of w. j.
Cornett.
Thus the governor has made good
his promise to Stripling's little daugh
ter, who last summer, while the gov
ernor was on trip to the prison, ran
up to him, clasped his hand and begg-
ed that he send her papa back to her.
In his statement concerning the
Communication Governor Harris says
that if he has erred he has done so
on the side of mercy.
The STRIPPING case is one of the
most famous in the history of the
state. Immediately on his arrest and
return to this state, and before serv-
ing any part of his sentence, he APP
piled to the prison commission and
governor for a pardon. The prison
commission at that time was compos-
ed of Gen. Clement A. Evans, Wiley
Williams and R. E. Dawson. This
commission unanimously recommend
ed a pardon, but after full hearing
Governor Brown declined to follow
their Recommendation, and the appli-
cant was sent to the penitentiary to
begin the service of his sentence.
Prison Commission Opposes.
The application for pardon, with
certain new facts and additional
grounds, was renewed some time dur
ing the month of July, 1915. The
present prison commission declined,
by majority vote, to recommend
clemency. E. L. Rainey and T. E.
Patterson recommended the applica-
ton be denied, while R. E. Dawson
readirmed his former position in IA
vor of granting Il pardon.
Governor Harris, after signing the
order releasing STRIPPING, wrote
sentimental letter to the little girl to
whom he made the promise more
than a year ago.

Crisp'S Speech Et1liUens
The Congressional Campaign
IN SPEECH IN STEWART COUN-
TY ATTACKED HIS OPPO-
NENT'S RECORD.

At Bowers Grove, in Stewart
county, Congressman Chas. R. Crisp
addressed a gathering Friday esti-
mated at $50 people in the interest
of his campaign for reelection to
congress from the Third district.
Mr. Crisp spoke for an hour on the
measures which he had part in pass
ing with the democratic admins
tration and the record of Thomas G.
Hudson, his opponent in the race.
Congressman Crisp stood back of
the rural credits bill, which has been
recently enacted by congress, and he
stated he endorsed the measure as a
whole, although there were some
features which he would like to see
included.
Americanism was endorsed by
Crisp, and he stated he was in favor
of restricted immigration. He en-
phasized his work in the interest of
the ''half and half" plan of govern
ment taxation in the District of Co.
lumbia, measure which he sponsor
ed and pushed through congress de-
SplLG lOuu OppOSIIAOIl III w oolAiI9
ton.
Mr.. Crisp said that he was a pro-
bitionist, and that he did not qualify
his stand. He charged that some of
his strongest opponents were people
who were hailed before him in the
City Court of Americas while he was
Judge on charges of blind tigers. "
He read what he stated was the stand
of Mr.. Hudson on prohibition some
time ago, and said if Mr.. Hudson was
prohibitionist it was of recent date.
A feature of the campaign was
promised by Mr.. Crisp when he said
he would secure a list of names of
people to whom had been promised
offices by Mr.. Hudson, and that he
would publish the list. Mr.. Crisp al
so took up charges made against Mr..
Hudson during his terms of office as
commissioner of agriculture of Geor-
gia.

RUSSIA'S PROHIBITION
WILL CONTINUE IN FORCE
Alcohol Production After the War
Will Be Forbidden.

Will Be Forbidden.
PETROGRAD.-A bill has been
/ introduced into the duma to put into
effect the governments promise that
the war prohibition of alcoholic
drinks shall continue in force after
the war. The bill, as summarized
by the Novoe Vdemya, provides:
st is forbidden to produce alco-
hol for the purpose of manufacture
of vodka. Equally prohibited is the
| import of alcohol from foreign coun-
tries and from the grand duchy of
Finland. The production of alcohol
by private institutions and persons,
either for sale or for their own con-
sumption, or for household purposes,
is also prohibited.
'sThe production of alcohol for
technical or medical purposes is to be
carried on by the government direct
ly or through contractors. The gov
eminent has the sole right to sell
spirits for these purposes.
THE sale of light wines is only al
lowed in towns. In provinces and
districts which grow grapes the sale
of wine-not on draught-is allow
ed. The limit of alcohol for differ
ent kinds of wine is to be fixed by
the government.
1.-The sale of beer is allowed only
in towns. The government is also to
fix for beer the limit of alcohol.
Town councils have the right to issue
regulations limiting or prohibiting
altogether the sale of beer and light
wines"
The governments position in the
matter was thus outlined by M.
Bark, minister of finance, in his bug
ct speech: Among the factors
which have helped to keep our budg
ct balance it is impossible to overes-
innate the new factor in the econom-
ic life of our Countrywide total alb
stinence from alcoholic drinks. The
success of this measure, which can
not be completely realized, is such
that | am bound to state most en-
phatically that the prohibition is not
to be abolished after the war;
