Red Mountain deposits, much the larger and more important commer- cIally in consequence, are about seven miles from tide water, and it will require rail transportation to permit shipment of the product. But they will Oe developed now, be yoRd a doubt, and will add another important industry to the Cook in let country.
 This all goes to show that We who live here do not reaaize to the full the boundless resources na- tive to this region. We knew, in general way, of the Red Mountain chrome deposits, but We did not ap- preciate their importance. The same may be said of other resources now lying dormant and uRdeveloped. We won't know of them until some specialist cCmes along to tell Us of the'r commercial importance. - An chorage Times. 1 \ \ A4!

AMERICA CLAIMS HER DEAD

America will have her own. For it has been ordered that this ma tiun's dead shall be returned to the soil that bore them. Today in France thousands of American sol diers lie buried in hallowed ground. Their graves are on the same sod d-u battle fields they so brayeIy helped to wrest from the common enemy. This ground is sacred and made rich by the precious blood of Americas sons who gave up their lives that you and I and the world might be forever free from auto cracy. It is right and proper that they should be returned to their native land: They have done their mart; theirs was a he:os death aud Lafayette, thy great debt Of long-standing is paid; Jean of Arc, they have answered your call and thou. oh, majestic Goddess of Li- berty may know that the precepts and teachings of many generations have been gloriously eXemplitied by these gallant sons of America and America claims her dead heroes thai she may pay them reyerence.-EX.

 These chrome deposits were known by old-timers in this part of Alaska for the past fifteen years or more, but little attention was paid to them, until the war came on and 8 demand for chrome became urgent ss 2 war need. Then the mining ele men. began to sit up and take no tice.

 generous and open-handed contriou- tions to the Victory Loan for 1918 is a tribute that should be preserV- ed with all the care that its pub lie display will permit. The flag is now flying on the flag staff of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, says the Whitehorse Star, which woulG be, under ordinary circumstances, quite appropriate and entirely satis- factory to the average citizen. One of the main objections to this method of displaying the honor flag is, however, that the strong winds which prevail here in the winter sea son will whip it into tatters in com paratiYely no time at all, whereas fl it is draped over the archway of the stage in the N. s.

The state ment that the mails lost on the So- phis contained a numter of parcels oF Yukon boys at the front reached the outside in press despatches. The people of Courtenay were touched by the prospect of the Yukon boys with the colors having a cheerless Christmas, and knew that, since the las. boats had sailed from Dawson, possibly it would be impossible to send fresh parcels from this point at such late date in order to reach destination ill time. Accordingly the Courtenay people telegraphed to Postmaster McCarter at Dawson as follows:
 "Courtenay, B. C., Nov. 3-5.-If you will wire names and addresses of boys at front whose parcels were lost on Sophia the people here will forward them parcels for Christmas.
