The initial shipment of two cars each Of ore from new mines in the Whitehorse district will arrive on this afternoons train, consigned to the Tacoma Shelter.
 Two of the carloads of ore are from the Empress of India mine and the other two carloads are from the Valerie mine.

INVENTORY REVEALS STARTLING SCARCITY
 FOOD SUPPLIES

Copennager, April 5-The result of the recent stock taking of the grain, potatoes and other foodstuffs was so unfavorable as to cause gem eral apprehension, according to the Berlin Voerwarts, which quotes re- marks made before the Reichstag committee on food by the socialist deputy, Ebert.
 Deputy Ebert said an inventory showed the 1916 yield of bread @rains was only 5OO,OOO tons or Is pounds percapita above the 1915 harvest, a harvest which had been regarded as almost calamitous. Early reports on the 1916 harvest had described it as good and a ratioping scheme was based Cn an estimated exc ess of 100000 tons. The reduction in the visible supply by one-half explains tie cut in bread rations which was announced by the authorities as soon as the results of the census were at hand.
 Deputy Ebert added that simil;z deficit apparently existed in other food products. He demanded that everything imported from Rumania he reserved for human consump- tion.

PATENT ISSUED FOR
 FARTHEST NORTH CLAIM

Uncle Same has granted a patent on the tarthest north coal mine on the North American contenent. The official notice of the grant of pa tent was received yesterday at the office of Chief of the Field Division c. E. Arundel here. The mine is ou ihc shore of the Arctic ocean. at a point north of Point Hope called CorYfn Bluff. The mine is 160 miles north of the Arctic Cir cle, and is one of the earliest de yeloped coal deposits in Alaska.
 It was first utilized in 1S49 and later when the whalers found prof ttable the trips along the north coast of the Territory they always stopped there for coal. The mine is accessible from the shore, be- cause the coal veins outcrop on the side of the bluff. The coal was mined extensively during the Nome stampede in 1899 and 1900 and taken to Nome on baTges. The United States revenue cutters Cor win and Thetis often have coaled there.
 The patent was issued on the E. L.. West coa4 claim to Charles McIntach the present owner of the mine.
