ALASKANS GET TIN ORE
FROM PLACER DEPOSITS

Fairbanks, Alaska, Oct. 20.-(By
mail-Tin ore recovered from gold
placer deposits in this section Of
Alaska has been proving source of
revenue that in former years was
given no attention. In the Hot
Springs district alone, along the Yu-
kon river, so tons of tin ore have
been recovered from placer claims
and shipped to the United States.
From the large quantity recovered,
some miners believe a ledge of tin
will eventually be found in the hills
around the head of Sullivan creek.
All operators in the Hot Springs
district have closed down mining
work for the year, scarcity Of labor
an unusually dry summer and the
high cost Of supplies contributing to
the camps smallest output of gold
since Its founding The output
amounted to $175.000.

BR|TON WOULD ANNEX
THE GERMAN COLONIES

London, Dec. 1, Sunday. via Mont
real.--Walter Hume Long, secretary
OF state for the colonies; today dis
closed the fact that he was men,
ber of the committee mentioned by
the premier on November 29 to con-
slider the terms that should be de-
manded from Germany.
Therefore, he could emphasize
that the empire need have no an
xiety on the ground of undue tender
ness on the part of Great Britain and
the allies.
He said that although he did not
desire to enlarge the British empire,
he saw no alternative to the solution
of the problem Of the German col
onies save by their inclusion in the
empire. Where the natives had been
consulted they overwhelmingly fav'
ored that course, he said. &.

that there is no hope OF prolonging
