ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 25.-Dr. A. M.

"The facts made known through this

such that none of us can doubt the

producers as we'll as the consumers:
Food will win or lose the war
naturally the army export demands

IN SIBERIA
RETURNED MINERS SAY THEY
DISCOVERED SECOND
ALASKA

NOME, Alaska, Aug. 80. On &C
count of the uncertainty of econom-
ic and political conditions in Siberia
this year, few Alaska miners and
trappers have crossed the Boring
sea to take miners and furs from
the Asiatic lands across from here.
In other years many Alaskans,
most of them from Nome and the
Seward peninsula, have gone into
the Siberian country around the
gulf of Anadir. Nome is about 100
miles from the Siberian coast.
Small American trading vessels
plying across the Boring straits and
along the Siberian coast built up
such a big business a few years ago
that a movement was started for
the establishment of a custom house
on the Siberian coast, probably at
East cape.
Men who have returned from
GRO the strait say that a second
rich Alaska in it's ~undeveloped
state lies in the eastern Siberian
provinces of Kamchatka and va
kutsk.

HUNS HAVE BLED
BELGIUM FOR
WAR CHEST
VAST AMOUNT OF MACHINERY
AND MATERIAL ALSO
TAKEN

PARIS. Sept. s.. - Germany ex-
acted war contributions from Bel
GUM during the first four years of
the war amounting to $466, 900.
This is in addition to the vast
amount of machinery, materials and
men taken from Belgium to sustain
Germany.
In this fifth year of the war it is
i ,teresting to review the financial
antivities'' of the Germans in Bel
GUM since that fateful day in Bel
GUMS history, Aug. 20, 1914, when
the German hordes entered Brus-
sells.
During that month, when the
German armies were hacking their
way through the little kingdom,
mero towns and cities were
tined" and war contributions were
levied from each province as the
Germans progressed southwestward.
The Grst move of the German
staff when entering a town was to
proceed to the city hall and an
nounce to the burgomaster that for
resisting the advance of Emperor
Williams armies his city or town
had been fined so many thousand
or million francs, as the case might
be. When the burgomaster would
demonstrate, Uhlans and Deaths
Head hussars would cavort inno-
Gently in city hall square, or the
burgomaster would be taken pris-
oner.
In one instance in the province of
Liege the German commander of
the company entering the town in
formed the burgomaster that a war
contribution of 100 600 francs
would have to be forthcoming with
in two hours. The burgomaster de-
INJURED. Never in the history of
the little town had there been so
much money in the city treasurer.
At the present moment there was
only a little over 5000 francs in the
strong box.
well, we'll take that" calmly
responded the German.

COURT DECISION
IN MINING CASE
JUDGE WALSH DENIES APPLI-
CATION OF VI. Il. ASTON
FOR INJUNCTION

A decision has been handed down
by Judge Walsh on the demurrer of
NJ. B. Aston in the case of Aston
versus Howe, Evans and Norris and
the Wall Street Copper company,
wherein the court overruled the
demurrer ~interposed by Aston to the
answer of the defendants to the
complaint of plaintiff.
The effect of this decision is to
permit the defendants to rely not
only upon their specific denials of
the allegations contained in the
plaintiffs complaint, but also to
use as a separate defense a release
executed by Aston to the defendants
wherein the plaintiff released and
discharged the defendants upon the
cause of action set out in the com
plant.
The court also denied the applica-
ton of plaintiff M. B. Aston where
in he sought to obtain from the
court an injunction restraining the
defendants from d~isposing of their
interests in the property of the
Wall Street Copper company.

WOUNDED BRITISH
CONSULTED AS
TO WANTS
ONE CHOOSES STIFF INSTEAD
OF WEAK Ell
BOW

LONDON, Aug. 3O.-A Canadian
officer, wounded early in the war,
came to st. Katherine's lodge, one
of the American Red Cross ortho-
pedic hospitals in London, to have
his left arm made yer
The elbow was shattered. The
officer was given a choice of hav-
a weak, movable elbow, or a strong
stiff one. Without hesitation, the
Canadian chose the stiff elbow and
astonished the surgeons by asking
that the arm be made perfectly
straight so he could use d hunting
rifle and a billiard cue.
Another Canadian officer insisted
on having his smashed leg so re-
built so that he could continue to
ride a horse. 1t required months
of orthopedic treatment, but when
the patient finally left the hospital
to return to his ranch in western
Canada he was ready for the sad
die.
These cases illustrate not only
the special work of am orthopedic
hospital. but how closely the sur
geons consult the wishes of their
patients.

CENSUS IS TAKEN
IN VIRGIN ISLANDS
UNITED STATES GAINTD WOE
THAN 1872 SQUARE
MILES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. s.
The results of a census of the Vir-
gin islands formerly the Danish
West Indies), have just been pub
lished in an octave volume of TIA
g The inventory was made, at
the request of the secretary of the
navy, by the bureau of census of the
department of commerce, under the
supervision of Eugene F. Hartley,
chief statistician for manufactures
of the census bureau.
The result shows that by this lat
est territorial acquisition the area
of the United States was increased
slightly more than 1872 square miles,
this area being practically that of
the three principal islands, st. Croix
(Santa CRUZ, st. John and st.
Thomas. There are in addition
about so small islands or Gays, b
largest about one mile square.
Interesting and significant Is the
fact that while the United States
acquired title to the Virgin islands
by treaty with Denmark on Aug. 4,
1916, after negotiations OF more
than half a century, the language of
the people is English, though the
islands we're under the Danish flag
for 245 years.
In 1917 the value of the ex-
ports from the United States to the
imports from the islands $1,259,607.

LOANS WERE USED
IN FINANCING
CIVIL WAR
REVENUE ALSO WAS RAISED
THROUGH EMERGENCY
TAXATION

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. f.
The civil var cost the federal gov
eminent 3,O27,791,OOO, exclusive
of pensions and interest on the pub
lice debt beyond the actual war
period.
This amount seems small indeed,
wien compared with the SEQ, 00O,-
600 a day the United States now is
paying as its SHIRE of the present
conflict. Conditions SO years ago
we're such that the people of that
day felt the burden they were fore
ed to carry, to a greater degree,
Perhaps, than do the people of the
present.
There was a deinari by the poo
PIE during the civil war period for
eme4 gency taxation and, while a
vast amount of war revenue was
raised through that means, Secre-
tary Chase, head of the treasury de-
partment, pinned his greatest faith
to loans.
The loan system inaugurated by
Chase was elaborate and complicat-
ed. Loan followed loan in rapid
succession and they were floated at
varying rates of interest and over
widely separated eriods of time.
In discussing this phase of the
nations financial experience, au-
thoritative writer's have found it
convenient to group these loans un-
der four headings: Long-term
loans, short-term loans, non-inter-
est loans, temporary Indebtedness.
Chase Laid the foundation of the
system by selling government bonds
to the national banks and permit
ting the banks to issue circulating
notes upon them. ~
The effect of this was that ifA1
national bank bought 800 900
worth of government bonds it was
permitted to issue almost 800. 900
in the familiar national bank notes.
The bank, meanwhile, deposited the
bonds with the government as Sc
curity for the redemption of the
notes it issued.

les at Goldfield, however, and the
subsequent stampede to locate
properties there, the Divide, or, as
it was then called, the Gold Noun
tain district, was almost entirely
abandoned and, except for some in
termittent work in the way of an
rual assessment work, the proper
ties in the district lay dormant un-
til the Tonopah Divide Mining
company, at depth of 16O feet,
discovered it's immense ledge.
Four or five years ago Mr.. Ker-
nick took up the Hasbrouck again
and has been working it ever since.
There are five claims in the group,
entirely covering a high peak a
short distance west of the Tonopah
Divide. The workings consist of
a 4OO-foot shaft, fully equipped for
a resumption of work when the
company decides upon it; a tunnel
that is now in $50 feet from its
mouth, and innumerable prospect
ing cuts and holes.
Two distinct veins were cut in
the tunnel, one of which, at a
distance of about 400 feet from
the portal, was worked in former
years. A stope was sent clear to
the surface, and the ore taken from
the stope was milled at T~onopah.
The ore averaged about SIS to SIG
per ton, when silver commanded a
price of so cents per ounce, the
ratio of silver to gold in the ore
being about 90 to l..
During one of the temporary
suspensions of active work Mr..
Kernick caused the ground to be
thoroughly prospected, and an i'm
mense dyke was located high up
on the eastern side of the noun
tain peak. Upon Investigation and
a systematic course of prospect
ing, this dyke was found to be the
outcrop of a ledge, whose width
has not yet been determined. So
strong was the ledge and it's indi-
cations that Mr.. Kernick decided to
run the tunnel, which is at an ele-
walton of about 800 feet below the
surface outcrop, to tap the ledge,
and this work is now being pushed
vigorously.
Upon the invitation of Mr. ker-
nick, a party composed of Ed Guilt
nan. superintendent of the Tono-
pah Dividend Mining company. Ju-
Illus Goldsmith, also interested in
that property, and P. c. FISHER,
editor of the Miner, visited the
Hasbrouck last Monday and were
given the opportunity of going
through all the workings.

William R.

 He asks for an injunction against the Chichagoff Mining company pre- venting them from working the prop erty until after an accounting has been made, and for court order for an accounting on the part of the Chichagoff Mining company. MT. Hanlon claims that the Chfchagoff Mining company has recovered at least $200,000 from the two claims and he wants half of that sum.

January Shipment of Knit ted Goods and Sup. plies Must Be Closed
 in Few Days
ON WORKING SCHEDULE
Four Afternoons and One Evening a Week Will Be Utilized For
 Rush Work

Juneau Chapter Red Cross offic- ials emphasize the fact that the local Red Cross work rooms are now oper to all workers on Tues day, Thursday, Friday, and Satur- day afternoons and on Monday evening. It is felt that this sched- ule should provide fairly wide range for choice on the part of wo- men who wish to do Red Cross work, and who, at the same time, must consult their own limitations of time and energy.
 All workers are welcome at any and all of the scheduled sessions. While some of the women's organi- cations of certain of the Juneau churches are devoting concerted at tention to specific days in the schedule, in an earnest effort to unite their workers in the Red Cross cause, it is by no means the , intention to exclude, on those days, workers not belonging to these church societies.
 hC AtCu OIOSo Wol iOOho oi C open to all workers at all sched- uled times, and all are urged to come at such times as are found to be most convenient. The work and interest of the church women is of great assistance, and betoken a fine spirit of service, but it is neither their intention nor the in. tention of Chapter officials to set aside any day excluding workers not members of the societies in question. To be present in the work rooms on all scheduled days possible, is not only the privilege, but the duty. of every Juneau wo- man.
 Tuesday and Thursday of this week will see extra stress and ef- fort at the work rooms. The. Jan- uary shipment of knitted goods, sur. gical supplies, bed socks and under wear, will be closed for shipment on the thirty-first. All home work should be checkedsip as promptly as may be, in order to- give the packers as much time as possible.
