' Herald Christ ~ ~ :

Sunday was St. Johns day at st.
Georges Episcopal church, and the &C.
casion was marked by sermon In
which Rev. George Buzzelle graphical
ly portrayed the life and work of the
herald of Christ. Rev. Buzzelle took
as his text:
St. Matt. III, 3: For this is he
that was spoken of by the Prophet
Esias, saying, The voice of one cry
ing in the wilderness, prepare We the
way of the word; make his paths
straight"
In great gallery in an eastern city
hangs a noble canvass, the work Of
Verestchagin, the Russian master. A
sky of FURNISHED gold; a background
Of rock and sand, rejecting the torrid
rays of Syrian sun; in. the fore
ground a lonely figure, standing in
majestic sadness. Nothing else. No
breeze blowing its soft breath over
the scene. No bird or living creature.
Only this man and the wilderness: A
suggestive picture of John the Baptist.
For into the wilderness long years ago
came a strange and lonely man. The
final hour of Gods great purpose was
soon to strike, and messenger was
to proclaim the great event. In the
hill country, where the mountains
stood in lofty, appealing grandeur, he
was born. Amidst Gods mighty han
diwork he grew to manhood, and un-
derneath the starry heavens he re-
ceived Gods message to mankind. Few
dramas of human history have more
of tender pathos than that Of John
the Baptist, whose life and death the
church this day commentaries, and
whose character, strong and rugged
and majestic she presents to us for
our emulation. H--
st. Johns faith was unfaltering In
the Businesses of the hills, surround
ed by the sanctity of his fathers
home, he gained firm hold on the es.
sential truth. We very much need
that faith today. Amidst the shock
of the great world forces we should
lay hold of the faithfulness and love
and power Of God. -.-. ..
st. John was fearless in his denun.
citation of evil. No class or condition
escaped his incisive touch. Today we
need to speak boldly against evil in
every form. Not so much by denun.
citation, for we are not John the Bap-
fists, but by building with the purity
of our own lives, an atmosphere In
which evil may not live.
st. John was devoted to his princt.
pies even when recognition and sym.
pathy seemed to be absent. The world
and the church need men today who
can and will work diligently for great
and sacred principles in the face OF
neglect and misunderstanding.
St. John the Baptist stands at the
back of the ages mighty figure of
a man, throwing the oenediction and
inspiration of his great life athwart
the years. The Master said: Among
them that are born OF women hath
not arisen greater than John the
Baptist"

HOLD F|NLAYSON
TAM Erred WITH .
STATE WITNESS.
Bench Warrant Issued This Att
ernoon for Arrest of Bis
marck Man

On information filed by States At
torney McCurdy a bench warrant for
the arrest of Frank Finlayson on a
charge of tampering with witnesses
was issued this afternoon by Judge
w. l.. Nuessle. Finlayson is to be
given hearing Saturday.
The charge grows out of the disap'
pearance of Jack Farrand just before
the trial of Finlayson on a charge
of bootlegging, in which Farrand was
an important witness for the state.
When the case came to trial Farrand
could not be found, and two other
witnesses who were here had forgot
ten so much that they appeared to
know when they filed affidavits against
Finlayson that Judge Nuessle had
them committed to jail.
Farrand to Tell Story.
Through the confession of one OF
these men, the whereabouts Of Far
rand was discovered. Farrand, taken
into custody by Montana sheriff,
agreed to return to Bismarck without
extradition. He arrived here about 10
days ago, and this morning was ar.
raigned before Judge NAessle on q
of court charge, found guilty,
and, in view Of the. time he already
has served in jail, relieved from fur
Their penalties. -, ..rjJa,t: va. ., !
Farrand is now out on his own rec
ognizance to appear Saturday as a
witness against Finlayson. His story
of how he came to 60 to Montana and
the manner in which his trip was fin
anced is expected to prove interest
ing.
Johnson's Confession.
In his confession Charles Johnson,
one of the other witnesses held for
contempt, told of having received from
Ffnlayson money with which to buy
Farrand a ticket to Montana point; |
described the manner in which the
deal was framed up for the boys by
Finlayson, and alleged that Nnlayson,
after getting Farrand out of the way,
had counseled the boys to stick by
their new story, It was because their
new story convinced Judge Nuessle
and States Attorney McCurdy that
something was wrong that the two
boys were thrown into Jail.

COAL FIELDS opened
Uncle Sans Railroad in Alaska
Causes Development.
Many Mines Already Put In commIs'
sion and Supply Of Fuel Made
Available at Low Prices.

The railroad which Uncle Sam Is
building In Alaska has already result
ed in the opening Of several new coal
mines, making available large fuel
supplies at low prices, it Is announced.
It has also resulted in the springing up
Of several good-sized towns where q
few years ago there was nothing but
srnall villages or the wilderness.
Since congress authorized construc.
ton of this railroad, March II, 1914,
remarkable progress has been. made.
Much Of the road has been cleared
and graded, and regular. service estab-
lished from Seward, on Resurrection
bay, to Kern creek, on Turnagain
Arm. From the thriving town of An
choragc as far as the Matanuska coal
fields, where large forces of miners
are at work, trains run regularly.
Seward in 1914 was an untidy town
of 700 or 500 inhabitants. Today it's
1000 permanent residents point with
pride to concrete business blocks, COM
Portable residences and extensive pub
lie utilities.
Anchorage in 1914 was an uninhab-
tied wilderness. Today 5000 people
make it their home, and its future is
full of promise. 1t is the nearest tide
water railroad point for the distribu-
ton of coal mined in the interior, and
ships Of any size can be accommodated
in its harbOrs.
1.-The mines that are served by these
towns and by the railroad are Tpracti-
"cally inexhaustible, and their product
is Of very high order. Secretary Lane
Of the interior department has an
nounced that coal mining has been
started on commercial scale in these
mines, and large amount has been
contracted for by the Alaska Engineer
Ing commission, in charge of. the
government railroad. .*A...,,
Matanuska coal tested recently by
the navy department was found equal
to the better grades mined In the
Pennsylvania and West Virginia b.
luminous fields. The first mine opened
In this district, known as the "Doherty
mine," is at Moose creek, a point of
the Matanuska branch line, so miles
distant by rail from Anchorage.
A 15O-fOot shaft sunk there has
exposed vein Of unusually fine coal,
and 60 tons are turned out every "a
hours, even under the present limited
conditions.
This Doherty mine is operated under
special permit issued by Secretary
Lane, primarily for the purpose of OBJ
tanning coal needed as fuel for loco
motives, steam shovels and other en-
gines used in connection with the gov.
eminent work. $, N, IS: -
Before the opening of this mine, the
commission had been importing such
coal as they could get from Puget
sound at cost of from SIG to $18 per
ton delivered at Anchorage. Matan-
uska coal now sells at SO per ton.

SAYS ROCHESTER
UNITED is Conner

Augustus ID. Cox. mining engineer,
has returned from a trip to Rochester
where he has been on professional
business. In an interview Mr.. Cox
stated that the camp of Rochester was
never before in such good shape. The
older mines are getting better with
depth and producing regularly, while
some of the near-mines will soon be
added to the list of producers.
Recent developments in the Roches
ter United mine, of which Mr.. Cox IS
manager, are encouraging. The Silver
King tunnel and east and west cross
cuts therefrom are exploring Sun
flower hill with the expectation of
opening up the extension of the big
ore bodies of the Nenzel hill vein sy5-
TEN, which must inevitably come
through the Rochester United ground
if it continues on the same trend as
where developed in the Rochester
Mines Company's ground and other
properties.
In the west erosscut, at 222 feet
from the face of the tunnel, a vein
was encountered which has been
drifted on for 46 feet. The vein
varies from eighteen inches to three
feet in width. and it seems probable
that the drift is now in a fault drag
from an ore shoot elsewhere in the
vein-or it is even possible that it Is
a fault which has cut and dis
placed a vein containing ore of which
the drag was a part.
Whichever theory proves correct,
there is no question but that the find
is important, as the following assays
will show: At thirty-four feet from
the crosscut a specimen of schist ore
ran 80 ounces silver and $500 gold
a total of 1914 per ton. At thirty
seven feet an average sample across
nearly two feet of the brecciated VEN
exclusive of the rounded boul-
ders of higher-grade ore. returned
of nine-tenths of an ounce sill
YER and $500 gold-$6.37 per ton. At
thirty-eight feet an average sample
Of pieces of the drag ore from the
face of the drift assayed SO ounces
silver and S20.80 gold-a total of
S49.18 per ton.
The special significance of the find
lies in the fact that it is considered
most probable that the above samples
fairly represent the average grade of
ore which will be found when the ore
shoot proper is encountered-a fact
that gives great satisfaction to the
controlling owners, who live in San
Francisco.
