roLovANA WAS ONCE
A MOOSE PASTURE

SEATTLE. April 14.-Along in 1908 and for several years afterward, JChn A. Laird and other mining men Of the Rampant district used to 80 over along the Tolovana to shoot moose when their meat supply ran low, says the Post-Intelligencer. It was chiefly noted as game range, according to Mr. Laird, and as the word had been passed around that 1t had been we'll prospected once none of the hunters ever took the time to look for pay dirt Then still later few prospectors who either hadn't heard that the district had been prospected, or wanted to verify their own iudg- ment went into the country and locat ed the Tolovana camp. which is ex- pected to be one Of the good strikes of Alaska. Mir. Laird received a re- port yesterday from Tolovana that a pay streak thfee miles long had been located and that the camp gave every promise of more than bearing out the early predictions of Fair banks.
 And now they have found a rich camp in the country. where VIC used Co SO to hunt once" said Mr. Laird yesterday at The Palace. "This is what happens when snap Judgment is taken that a district is no good. 1t was probably prospected as early as 1898. but only hurriedly, and simply because 1t had been gone over no one paid any attention to it. How ever. ] am well satisfied, as have coco feet on Quail creek in the same district that will take care of me for the rest of my life. sold some ground along the same creek and the buyer has taken S14,OOO out of a small portion Of it. am glad to hear that the Tolovana Is really go- ing to pan out as new camp as 1t wlll mean a great deal to Fairbanks and the rest of the adjacent country.

SUICIDE TO LEAVE
 MALANcoURT, YET
 TO STAY IS DEATH

HEADQUARTERS OF THE ARMY OF vERDUN. March S1. (By automo- bile to Paris) The French troops have retired from the heaps of blood stained ruins that once was the vil' lage of Malancourt, and after three days fighting the Germans have oc- cupied the position they thought would fall at the first assault.
 It Is an axiom Of military science that any position csn be taken if one is willing to pay the cost, and the Germans have paid in full. Just whether It will profit them is anoth- CT matter. for Nalancourt is exposed to a terrible c-ossfire from the French batteries south and east. that to hold 1t means frightful slaugh- ter and to debouch from 1t means certain death.
 Thousands Was Toll
 What toll of Malancourt has al- ready taken of German lives one cannot ascertain. but 1t must run in- to the thousands. Attack after at- tack broke down under the pitiless fire of the seyenty-fives and the mi 'tranleuses. One such attempt ! wit messed soon after dawn. the descrip- ton whereof wll cover the rest.
 l watched the shells descend upon the village like myrlads of flaming thunderbolts. but their lightniugs are wasted. for the defenders are shel- tered under ground. and in that hell. fire furnace there Is nothing left to burn.
 eermans Melted Like snowballs
 It is T o'clock and down the Mont. faucon slopes the German waves flow forward to the assault Behind them the hill is covered with ring of 'Drahcen." which seem to be giant goggle-eyes. peering through the bat tie at the French positions. From beneath in the center of that ring tho German commander directs his battle
 The advancing Germans roll down the bill in gray-green patches. no lon ger in dense blocks-their iron discl- pline cannot face that suicide. Now a scarce 300 yards separate them from the smoking ruins of their goal But. seel The groups are diminish ing. melting like snowballs under the French fire. and the hillsides be- hind them Is strewn with green dots Ike corn grains strewn upon car pet It is hard to realize that these grains are men like ourselves. killed in the country's service.-(st Louis Republie.)
