OTTAWA, Ont, Dec, 22- The in

OTTAWA, Ont, Dec, 22- The im- portance by the Canadian government to the development of the breeding of fur-bearing animals in captivity is in- dicated by the fact that it's Copmis- sion on Conservation will hold the first international exhibition of live, ranch-red silver foxes at Montreal be- ginning Wednesday, November 24th.

MINING TO BOOM

The Upper Kuskokwim is the com ing country according to G. F.. Kilroy of the Union Construction Go. who are holders of large mining interests throughout the -tsrsitory. Mir. Kilroy arrived in the city last night after a long trip over 800 miles of which he covered with his dogs. He spent sev- eral days at Ophir where his company is installing a dredge on Canes creek and states that within the next two years three dredges will be chewing up the gravels of the old Innoko camp which has been a great producer for the past twelve years.
 Speaking of the Nixon Fork - Mir. Kilroy predicts great future for the development. All of their workings disclose high grade ore bodies but ow-
 
 ing to its complex nature the method of treatment will be expensive. Owing to a shortage of gasoline development by machinery is retarded and the air eompressors are out of action; how ever twenty-five hard-rockers are swinging their hammers. with favor able results. On one of the properties a small cynanide plant will be installed next summer.
 Transportation conditions make mining prohibitive in many instances, says MT. Kilroy, and large dredging areas lay untouched until cheaper me thods of hauling the heavy machinery are available. Property holders in the Innoke and Upper Kuskokwim look forward to the day when the railroad will solve the transportation problem and open up the mineral deposits of the Kantishna and Upper Kusko- kwim."
 During the summer the representa- tive of the Union Construction Co.,, examined properties in the ,Holitna and Aniak sections. The latter country will be drilled next summer as the whole of Marvel Creek has been ac- quired for dredging. MT. Klroy will leave on the Victoria for San Fran ciscc which is his head quarters.

AMERICAN !" "NUFF


 - No people are received in Monte negro with such general confidence and such frank welcome as Americans. A United States passport furnishes an all sufficient entry to any part of the country. The people have a touching belief in the disterestedness of Am- ericans, in striking contrast to the alofness and suspicion with which they greet other foreigners. This is due largely to the generous attitude of the United States toward Montenegro dur ing the war and to the widespread re- liet work done by Americans.
 3be Montenegerins, who are al- m ct exclusively of the Greek Ortho- Gox Church, are Serbian fugitives from the Turks. They sepak the Ser bian tongue; but instead of deeming themselves on par with other Ser b'ans, they believe they are a sort of Sevbian a'istocracy.
 The Mprtenegrins as a rule are ex- trcmely poor and live m tilatctcd huts. lhe men generally ca ', {. ite an ar- senal of weapons in their girdles. which they regard as their most pre- >ious possession. Even the priests car ry rifles. The women, though often beautiful, perform most of the menial tasks and soon lose their good looks. Large families are the rule.
 The people are meloholy and fatal istic snd believe in vampires, faries, witches ard ghosts. They believe that disease is brought by evil spirits. 10 keep out tfese spirits or "jinni". they alw:y. closa their windows tightly at night.
 With the exception of . few fertile yolleys, Montenegro is a lid1ss of jag ged gray rocks, with little patches of earth that have been patiently gathered by the peasants from the roadways and valleys and carried so sheltered hooks. These little Ikts are jeaIously guarded and caref.l,y culti- vated. They produce only : few hand fuls of grain, yet entire families de. pend upon them for sustsaanee.
 The men are hravs, proud, cortsou. and honest. Patriotism l. . passior with them. They regard personal val or as the highest virtue. They show their solidarity with the new Kingdom of Croats, Slovenes and Serbs by thl mourning which they still wssr. + remuneration of, Kossovo, the fatal battle in which Serbian indspsndenea was stamped out by tho Turks for fivs fcenturies
 Both men and women wear . cfim- son cap with . broad border of bfach sill, as . token of mourning for their defeat

NOME. Alaska, Dec, 22- Apuk tawana, . lone male member of the far northern mysterious tribe of "Blond Eskimos" the discovery of which has been credited to Vilhjalmur Stefanson, Canadian explorer, recently was brought by traders to Nome from his home on the southern shores of Coro- nation Gulf, located on Canada's nor- thern rim. Nome residents thought that only in his dress did he differ from the Eskimo of this region.
 Joe Bernard, Nome trader. who brought the "blond" Eskimo out, said he intended to take him to the states to show outsiders what sort of people the strange Eslsimos arc. The native was of stout build, with copper color ed skin straight black hair and dark brown eyes. Bernard said he was m average example of the males of the 'blond" tribe.
 Some members of the tribe, Bern ard asserted, have reddish brown hair and light eyes. They are scarcely light ,nought, however, he thinks, to be de- scribed as blond. It was recalled here. when Apuktawana arrived that Stef- ansson never described the tribe ss' ''blond" and ave his mysterious tribe the name. Stefausson's description was similar to that of Bernafds.
The Seward gateway., 1920-12-22

Volunteers and the British soldiers and police are each accused of masquerad- ing in the clothes of the other. Con sequently it has become very difficult 10 ascertain the true facts and fix the responsibility for many of the report cd outrages in Ireland.
 Men have presented themselves at houses in British uniforms and their de ,ds have been attributed to govern ment agents. But official denial that such men were operating in the dis tr;cts concerned has been issued and thr charge has been made that the men were masquerading in uniforms
 :.u. ed in one of the numerous raids on troops or police
 The same kind of story comes from the Sim Fein side. Men claiming to be Volunteers are alleged to be govern mcut agents in disguise. This is com plicated enough, ut the difficulty is incres:c,! by the fact that criminals appear to be impartially personating both Volunteers and soldiers and us- ing the incidents of the conflict as op- , portunity for footing.
 An instance arose the other day in the Dublin police courts in which a man was charged with committing sariGus burglaries and it was sworn that.nc ad offered some of the stolen property back to the owner if payment THE PAS, Manitoba, Dec, 22- Owners of Manitoba day teams are of the belief that recent extension of the Hudson Bay Derby course here I will enable their animals to show their best form in the next derby which will be held March 1, 1920 over the POO miles of snow trails between The Pas 1 and Flinflon and back. Hast years race, on $ course not much over 100 miles, was won by team of Alaskan dogs.
 Derby rules recently adopted pro- vide that teams may be entered from any part of the world, and that any number of dogs may be on a team and any type of sled may be used The usual derby races will guide the actual winnings.
 Next years race will be for $2,- 500 purse. Dog owners consider the purse none too big in view of the heavy expense incurred in maintain ing and preparing a team for racing Dogs have become very expensive, ,.last spring pups selling at $200 for five and full grown and trained animals from $75 to $100 each.
 Since the Nome All-Alaska. Sweep. stakes was abandoned, the Hudson's Bay Derby has become the big sport. ing event of the white trails Of the North.
