Even the oldest citizen does not
remember a spell Of weather similar
to that which prevailed for several
days last week, all records for va
riety being smashed all to smith

On Tuesday night of last week
rain began falling, following an
electrical storm OF unusual Sc
verify for the time OF year. This
rain continued all during the
night. The following day was
gloomy, no sunshine, but little or
no rain. Wednesday night at
dark rain set in again and con-
tinued all night. Thursday night
there was a heavy fall Of both
snow and sleet, which melted as
fast as it fell, except on roofs.
Friday morning dawned with a
heavy rainfall, which continued
practically all day. Trees, walks,
fences and telephone wires were
laden with Ice during the early
morning hours. During this pc
Rod Of 48 hours there was but q
difference of two degrees in the
mercury, which fell on Friday
morning to freezing. Saturday
was not so bad, until along about
3 o'clock, when snow began falling
thick and fast. Monday Of last
week was as pretty a spring day

early Saturday night, continuing
throughout the night and all day

l TALES TOLD 0F MARVELLOUS
 FINDS

Tales of fabulous deposits of native copper have been brought to San Francisco by Captain c. T. Peterson, of the Stefansson expedition. The ex- plorers found the Eskimo sewing their clothes with needles made of copper This was on Banks island, which is about $50 miles due north of Great Bear lake. This story recalls the find ing of native copper in the Copper mine river country by Samuel Hearne in 1770, by others since and finally the expedition of MT. George NJ. Doug las. who in 1911 and 1912 penetrated into this remote region and made a careful investigation as related in his delightful book. Lands Forlorn." He and his friend, Dr. August Sandberg. Swedish geologist, found copper in the amygdaloidal portion of basaltic flows and in beds of conglomerate, re- sembling those of the Lake Superior counry. No rich ore was discovered. but samples brought home suggest ed possibilities of large-scale exploita. tion in days to come. Similar copper finds have been made on Bathurst in let on the west side of Hudson's bay. 500 miles to the east. Evidence ac- cumulates to indicate a wide distri- button of copper in the Arctic regions of this continent. and we do not doubt that some day thorough exploration will be made in search of ore bodies rich enough to warrant mining on large scale. Among those that are making millions out of the current in flation of copper shares there should be two or three willing to find the money required to equip an expedi- ton to explore the territory between Hudson's bay. the Coppermine river and Banks island.

WANTS PATENT TO TRADING
 SITE BEFORE WASHED AWAY

In October, 1912, T. II. Beaumont. of Fort Yukon, made application for patent on his trading site at Fort Yu- kon. The ground was surveyed and taken up with the general land office through the proper channels. but for some reason tho issuance of the pat ent has been held up.
 Now the land office in Fairbanks receives & communication from MT Beaumont saying that unless the pat ent is issued soon there will be noth- ing to issue it on except the Yukon river. as the channel has changed It's course so much that 1t is washing away the ground on which he origin ally applied for patent.
 The question arises: If hs gets patent on the original survey and | is in the course of the river. can he build fence around it?
