DEPOSITS IN ALASKA

The considerable demand for anti mony during the last year has stimu- lated the development Of certain Al askan deposits Of ore Of that metal. from which ore to the value of about s74.00o was mined and shipped during 1915. Stibnite. the sulphide of anti mony. has been noted at 67 localities in Alaska, but only 8 few of these have produced and marketed ore. h 1915 the production Of antimony ores was begun at four mines in the Fair banks and at two in the Nome district All the operations were small and most of them consisted Of digging out the rich ore near the surface by open cuts and Of breaking and hand sort ing il,
 These deposits form the subject Of 8 report recently published by the United States Geological Survey. De partment of the Interior, as Bulletin 649. a volume O. nearly D pages, en- titled "Antimony Deposits Of Alaska, :" by 4 B. Brooks.
 According to this report. the Alas Kan antimony deposits may be diyid- ed into three principal groups-sili- ceous gold-bearing stibnite lodes. stibnite-cinnabar lodes, and stibnite- galena lodes. Each of the first two Of these groups is further divided, ac- cording 10 structure, into Assure veins, shear vein deposits. and stock works. These deposits seem 10 have been formed in a rather recent geo logic age, probably at the time Of the intrusion of certain Tertiary igneous rocks, though no metalliferous lodes have been found in the Tertiary sedi- mentary rocks.

 II the Prohibiuonists continue to depend upon their ability to frighten the people Of Alaska into Prohibition; II they count upon fear as their chief chance to win here, then is their cause hopelessly lost. The constant preaching of fear from the pulpit drove most of us from the church in our youth. and they are chasing us up the streets today warning us against death and disaster. Hell and disease, rather than telling us of the beauties of temperance and moderation in all things.

 Those are the lines Prohibition is being fought out upon-upon the eX- ploded medical theory that the child inherits the drink habit from the father. At the same time it is not explained where the preachers son 'inherits" his drink habit, in his case his father having touched not tasted not and handled not; upon fear Of death. disease mad destruction. # you look upon the wine when it is red.

OLD CURSE RAKED UP

An old curse delivered So years
ago is now being generally recalled,
and by the superstitious is thought
to have had something to do. with
the tragedies and misfortunes which
marked the long life of the late
Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria.
When he was young man OF II
he was crowned king of Hungary. In
the year 1857 it was, and the corona
ton was preceded by long era Of
bloody oppression during which pat
rlotic Hungarian sentiment was put
down with a ruthless hand.
After the coronation, which was
marked by unusual splendor, Francis
Joseph attended coronation ball.
Suddenly there was commotion
near the doorway, and into the ball
room rushed the Countess Karoly1,
mother of young nobleman who had
been killed during the struggle which
led to Francis Joseph's triumph. She
made straight for the emperor, Hun
gary's newly crowned king, and while
dignataries and courtiers stood spell
bound at her daring, she flung at him
this distracted mothers curse:
May heaven and hell blast your
happiness! May your family be ex-
terminated May you be smitten in
the persons of those you best love!
May your children be brought to ruin
and may your life bewrecked and
yet may you live on in lonely, un-
broken and horrible grief to trmble
when you recall the name of ka-
rolyi!"
As the last words were uttered the
countess fell unconscious at Francis
Joseph's feet. She was carried out
of the ball room, and died without
ever speaking again. AS the years
brought tragedy after tragedy to the
emperor the story Of this curse was
always whispered about anew, and
now that he is dead the tale Is once
more being given new life.

otherwise training for futures. He
got job in the Bunkerhill & Sulli-
van mine and worked as a smelter
hand and as common laborer
wherever they sent him. Somebody
on the engineering corps discovered
his keen interest in mining and got
him a place with the engineers. He
is still with them and is enjoying
his work keenly. He regards it as
a good training for his profession
to work in all these things, and he
follows it like he would his lessons,
as if he were afraid he would miss
a link.
Mr.. Johnson is superintendent of
the Shoshone schools, and says he
enjoys his work of teaching better
as he grows older. He says that
what once tired him and worried him
has become a pleasure, and he takes
a keen interest in it.
