MRS. RIGGS RAISING
 FUND IN AID OF THE
 NATIVES OF ALASKA

A movement originated by Mrs. Thos. Riggs Jr, and other prominent Juneau women for the purpose of assisting in providing for the wei fare of native children on Seward Peninsula who were left without par. ents by the ravages of the flu epi- demic which swept that district last winter reached Fairbanks last night. says the Fairbanks Citizen The purpose of the movement is to provide fund with which to build a home for these orphans, so that they can be properly cared for.
 The amount suggested is 5000. of which the Fairbanks district is asked to raise $500 This announce to come from Fairbanks proper, Brooks and Nenana. Juneau has contributed $3,- 900 to the cause.
 A meeting was held last evening at the Catholic Church library to
 start the local campaign. Mrs George Preston was eelcted chairman of the permanent committee, and George
 Hutchinson, secretary and treasurer
 Mrs. Preston appointed Mrs John
 Raap, Mrs. John A. Davis, Mrs P. J.
 Leblanc, Miss Eva Delaney and Mrs.
 McDonala to act as a subcommittee in charge of the campaign.
 After the entire amount has been
 raised. it is proposed to turn the fund over to Bishop Crimont, on the occasion of the 18th anniversary of
 his, entry into the Alaskan service
 and ask him to administer the money
 It will be used to build home for
 the orphans at hot springs about
 50 miles from Nome. This place has
 been selected as one where the in-
 mates can grow large nart of their
 food requirements, making the cost
 of upkeeD much smaller than if #
 were located elsewhere in that dis trict. ;. The government allows e7ch
 one of the orphans s'0 nov month
 and this will 20 toward additional re
 lief. The general c'mna'gn VII
 probably be started sometime next
 week.

MINING BUREAU IS
 MAKING USE OF A
 NEW TREATMENT
Gold Recovery From Black Sand in the Sluice Boxes Greatly Increased by This New
 Method

The Alaska station of the Bureau of Mines has been working for some time past on a method of extracting gold from the black sand left in the sluice boxes after a placer cleanup, says the Fairbanks Citizen. On a recent test of nearly 300 pounds of this material, sent in from Discov cry claim on Ester Creek. more than 99 per cent of the gold was extracted This claim is owned by MT. G. A. MacQuarrie, and is being operated by F. H. Weber & Co.,, on lease.
 Upon being asked to describe the process, MT. Davis stated that it was draulic classification, followed by table concentration, with amalgama tion of the middling product. The classifier used was designed and built at the Mining Station especially for this work. It separates the black sand into thirteen different sizes. each of which is treated separately on the concentrating table. As result of this classification, exceptionally good work can be done by the table The assay shows that over 99 per cent of the gold contained in the ori- ginal black sand was recovered. This
 is big saving over the ordinary method of barrel amalgamation, where it is doubtful if more than 65 or 70 per cent of the gold is ever extract ed.
 The Mining Station is anxious to secure additional black sand with which 10 continue the tests, especially sand that has already been treated by the old method.
 MT G. A. MacQuarrie, when inter viewed, stated that he was astonished amount of gold that was recovered especially since particular effort had been made to remove all of the gold before sending the black sand to the station. Much more care was given to the work of cleaning in the sluicc box than customary. In spits of this the increased saving over the old method is very noticeable. it being at least 30 per cent more than the usual recovery. If the rest of the placer miners will only realize it. the fact that the Mining Station will do this work offers them a big oppor tunity to cut down large source of waste in placer mining.

FOUR BOYS ADMIT
 HAVING ROBBED STORES
 INPETERSBURG TOWN
They Have Been Brought to Ju neau, Having Been Bound Over to the Grand
 Jury

Cecil Allen, Martin Samuelson, Fl mer Wilson and Harold Fenning are lodged in the Federal Jail, having been brought north from Petersburg on the Jefferson by Deputy Marshal Noah Howell. The three first named are charged with having robbed the Petersburg postoffice of between $7OO and $500. The boys have admitted the charge and are being held for the Grand July under $2,000 bonds each These same boys, according to their confession, stole watches and jewelry from the Wheeler Drug Company there valued at over $100 and also robbed the Sons of Norway store of fishing gear and other articles valued at nearly the same amount. They have admitted all three robberies.
 Harold, Fenning, 20 years of age, is also in the Federal jail under heavy bonds charged with having received and concealed stolen property. He pleaded guilty to this charge in two instances, but not guilty in another.
 The pilfery was being carried on for several weeks and two of the boys were ready to leave town on a gas boat when apprehended by City Policeman Peter Cornstad. Most of the property was received with the exception of the money from the postoffice This had all been spent by the boys for bicycles, gas boats, clothing and other things. Part of this will be recovered eventually.

NEWS To EXPLOIT
C0UNTY'S RESOURCES

The News has completed arrange
ments for the exploiting Of the re-
sources, development and opportuni-
ties Of Curry County through a series
Of fifteen special articles, covering
every phaze of the industrial activi-
ties Of this section of New Mexico.
The work of completing the statistics
and preparing this series of articles
has been placed in the hands of Mr..
R. X. Evans, assisted by V. C. Har-
vey, who have been doing notable
work along this line throughout all
sections Of Texas. Mr.. Evans has
had ten years experience as a publi-
city writer, and the success OF his
work is attested by letters of recon-
mendation Of the highest order from
Chambers of Commerce, Commercial
Clubs and newspaper men. Mr.. Evans
has just recently inaugurated indus
trial campaigns with signal success in
Abilene. Sweetwater Weatherford,
Coleman, Ballinger, BrownwOod, San
Angelo, Brady, San Saba, Com
manche, Walsenburg, Colorado, and
many other points and his work has
received universal commendation.
Mr.. Harvey is an expert at securing
the facts, figures and data of highest
value and which form the framework
upon which Mr.. Evans will build the
stories of our agricultural, oil, STOCK
raising development, our retail and
financial conditions and the ability
of Clovis mercantile concerns to care
for the trade.
The News believes the plan high.
ly meritorious and not only deserving
Of the patronage which is being ac
corded it by leading mercantile anC
business concerns, but one which will
result directly to the benefit of thes(
concerns, and to the entire country al
well. The industrial campaign will
cover a series of fifteen weeks anC
each week one subject of the indus
trial development of the country will
be taken up and thoroughly covered
While really comprising a wonderful
special edition, the dividing Of th'
articles into series gives the advant
age over a special edition of enabling
the readers to thoroughly digest eacl
article as it is issued, before the mex
issue article appears to claim atten
ton. In this manner readers will Sc
cure valuable data and information
from the series, which will likewist
form a handy reference to those de
string information on any particula
subject concerning Curry County.
