PHOENIX. Ariz.. April 23.-That
the dread duorine. stock infection
which is sweeping through the Sit
greaves forest in Northern Arizona
has reached such proportions that
Arizona today faces more critical
situation in this respect than any
other state in the union is the opin-
ion brought back from Holb-ook by
DIR. X. J. Hight. state veterinarian.
II is estimated that between $500
and 5000 head of horses are affected
with the disease. the eradication OF
which DIR. Hight hopes to secure.
Dr. Hight went to Holbrook for
the special purpose OF comforting
with DR.. F. l.. Schneider. inspector
for New Mexico and Arizona Of the
Bureau OF Animal Industry. who with
other government agents were called
into consultation owing to the ser
iousness of the situation.
Il was able 10 secure the co-opera-
ton OF ali OF the affected stockmen
Of the district" said Hight in discus
sing the matter and all arrangements
were made for the holding of a gen.
eral roundup which will start the
frs; of May
THE situation was far more criti-
cal. ascertained, than had suppos-
ed when lef. Phoenix. and everyone
at the conference was impressed with
the fact that a thorough cleanup of
the situation must be made at this
time II We are TO rid the state Of 4
serious menace. The presence OF
duorine in this district has been
known for several years. but owing
to the scarcity OF funds with which to
combat the malady for the last three
years the state and federal author
ties have been unable to do more
than check the spread of the disease.
With a $4,000 appropriation passed
by the last legislature, ana with full.
er cooperation than ever before on
the part of the government we are
in better shape now than ever to
thoroughly eradicate the disease. All
OF the infected stock will be rounded
up and given the blood test
Animals tha: take the test will be
destroyed and the owners compensat
ed for the loss. 4 maximum OF $ao0
an animal will be paid though usually
the appraisements run between SO and
s25. 1t is only through this method
of procedure that We have been able
to secure the cooperation OF the
stockmen. Heretofore in many in
stances We have had the stockmen
working against us instead of with
US. Stock Vas run off the range and
wire fences were cut to allow the es
cape OF animals impounded in pas
lures after being placed there by the
officers
W. w Freeman was appointed by

 BACK IN TOWN;
 NOTHING FOUND

George Moody, who went on the recent stampede to the Salcha dis trict, returned to town last evening and brings the first authentic news concerning the cause of the stampede and the location of the ground. The ground now being worked by Lawson, Hirschberger and Williams is on Joy creek, tributary of the south fork 1f the Salcha river, a distance of about 75 miles from the Munson trading post.
 The south fork is about 52 miles from Munson's and Joy creek flows into it about twenty miles upstream. lawson and his partners are up Joy 1reek about two miles. At the pres ont time they have four holes to bedrock, which runs from twelve to 'wenty, one feet in depth, but so far rave struck nothing resembling pay. The absence of gravel is noted The nen are working in the endeavor to ind continuation of the streak un- covered on one of the benches just ,bove their present place of work Two other creeks. Roy and Ray, ,re in the imme ediate vicinity of Joy 'rcek and should ot'ing develop in heir present locality trey will move their plant and endeavor to strike it somewhere else.
 Moody is highly optimistic as to he possibilities of the new country. which he says resembles Cieary creek n every particular. It is an ideal ,ountry for prospecting and one could ,lo worse in other sections. The trail 'eading to the new ground goes up the Salcta river ?nd ample cabins are along the route for the accom- modation of the mu her At the present time about sixteen men are catered alonc 'ho Salchn river head "a for the sC"lc Of the new dis covery.

ALASKA MQES
 YIELD MILLIONS
 SEASON OF 1918

The mines of Alaska yielded in 1918 products worth $2S.00O.OOO. according to preliminary estimates prepared by G. c. Martin, of the U. S. Geologic al Survey. Department of the Interior. Altho Alaska mining was so adversely
 affected by shortage of labor and shipping and by high cost of supplies that the value of the output fell near ly $12,O0O,O0O from 1917. the produc- tion was still far greater than before 1915. Alaska's chief mineral product is copper, of which 69.426,000 pounds, valued at s17.1SO.OOO, was mined in 1918. The gold output, worth $10,000,- GOO, of which placers yielded $6,100.. 900. was $4,65O,0O0 less than in 1917 and was the smallest since 1904. The mining of 77,000 tons of coal, worth $435,000, is significant as the only marked advance over the production of 1917, as by far the largest coal out put in Alaska mining, and as the probable beginning of substantial coal industry. Alaska also produced in 1918 silver worth $870.000: tin worth $90.000: lead worth $S5.000;
 chrome ore. tungsten, palladium, platinum and antimony aggregating $117 ,000: and petroleum. marble. gyp- sum, lime and bricks aggregating $120,000. The total yield of Alaska mines since 1880 has been more than $419. 100000. Of this. gold was worth $302, ,O00. .O0O and copper $105. .000. .0OO.

CHANGE
 MAIL SERVICE.

With the abolishing of the quar- antine station at Piledriver the post al authorities announce an improve ment in the mail service of at least two days over the present schedule. At the present time the mail may be taken from Fairbanks to Chitina in from seven to eight days. During the ti;Le the quarantine was on it generally required from nine to ten days.
 Under the old system the mail wa taken 10 Piledriver in an auto and from there was relayed along the trail in double.enders. At the pres ent time it may be taken clear thru to Delta, a distance of sixty miles in one day against two days as formerly. Tfis tends to reduce the time all along the trail and will mako for better service.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 27.-Rear Admi- al French Ensor Chadwick died in this city today after a brief illness. For nearly sixty years he Tad been in the service of the United States, during which time he was considered one of the most brilliant officers of he navy.
 Perhaps as a student and writer on naval affairs Rear Admiral Chadwick will have most enduring fame, altho he served during the Spanish-Ameri. can war as chief of staff to Rear Admiral Sampson and was in all the most serious engagements in which the North Atlantic squadron took part. He was recognized by President Nc Kinley, among others of the officers of that squadron, to be promoted five numbers for his gallant conduct in battle.
 For seven years. from 1882 to 1889, Rear Admiral Chadwick was naval attache of the American embassy in London and was commended by Sec. letary of the Navy Tracy as one whose extraordinary ability and judgment during six years of di |. cult service in England and on the continent have had lasting influ- ence upon naval developments in this county"
 Born February "A, 1844. in Morgan. town, w. Va. Rear Admiral French Ensor Chadwick, retired U. 5. N.. entered the United States Maya, Academy in 1861. at Newport, R. l.. whither it had been removed on the beginning of the Civil War. In Sep. tember, 1872, he was appointed in- structor of mathematics in the naval academy. which post he held until 1875. Chadwick married in Novem- Der. 1878. Cornelia Miller, daughter of John Blocker Miller. Utica, N. Y.
 In 1878 Chadwick was given a years leave of absence to report on the naval training systems in Eng iand. France and Germany. preparing work which is still recognized as standard.
 He was appointed in 1882 naval attache to the American embassy in London, where he remained until 1899. In 1891 he was named a mem Der of the first board to establish labor organizations of navy yards on the present civil service basis and he was inspector of ship building at the New York navy yard, where the battleship Maine was then building.
 President Cleveland appointed him C.. ief of the bureau of equipment July 1, 1893, as successor to Commodore George Dewey. In 1897 he was or dered to the command of the battle. ship New York. flagship of the North Atlantic squadron, under Admiral Sicard.
 The Maine was destroyed in Hava- na harbor while the squadron was at Dry Tortugas and Chadwick was ap- pointed a member of the board of inquiry into the disaster.
 After his service in the Spanish American war, Rear Admiral Chad wick was appointed President of the Naval War College at Newport, oc- cupying that position in 1903-4.
 Rear Admiral Chadwick was re- tired February 2s. 1906. since which time he has written much that is Authoritative and of permanent value in regard to naval conditions in this and other countries. One of his most important works is entitled "The Relations of the United States and Spain: Diplomacy" which gives an intimate account of the events that lied to the Spanish.American war.
