 $1,OOO,OOO ORE

That Tom Aiken and associates are taking out ore in the KantiShna country that will run from $500 to $l,0O0 a ton, and will have from $40O,OOO to $SOO,OOO worth of ore at Roosevelt with the opening of Spring s the information conveyed to the Governors office in a letter received from Alexander Mitchell, who wrote from the ground.
 Mir. MitchcIl's letter is dated at KantShna, January 24, and is ad- dressed to Gov. Thomas Riggs. Jr. lt says;
 Knowing that you gre interested n the progress Of Alaska, l write to inform you of the quartz pros poets, have been told are under op- ton to Tom Aitkcn, it is said for $2&O,OOO. The first payment of ten thousand dolla. $ is said to have been paid last September. Men working for Aitkcn found q Stringer of galen@ that runs from a few inches to three feet that iS said to run all through from $500 to $4,20O to the ton in silver. besides carrying gold from q few dollars to $l6O and also 2 DO" cont, copper.
 There are fl or l5 men working ,Iay and night in the mine. Ed Bart jet. has contract for hauling the ore to Roosevelt.

order, and in my new enthusiasm,
slipped on my hat and coat and
walked three blocks to a little center
of shops, where I bought some flowers
as well as the things for luncheon.
When I returned saw that I would
have to hurry t oget luncheon ready
have to hurry to get luncheon ready
home, but I was so enthusiastic over
my prospects that I fairly flew around
the kitchen, and at the stroke of one
my chops were done to a turn, my po-
tato balls delicately Drowned.
A Long Wait.
But no Diclxy appeared. He had been
most punctuaI every day of the week
we had been keeping house. I waited
an hour, then took down the receiver
to telephone him when I remembered
that he purposely had no telephone in
his studio for fear for his attention
being distracted when he was busy.
Another hour passed. The chops
were ruined, the potatoes dried. I de-
cided he was not coming and cleared
the table. I had just finished when the
door opened to admit DiclSy.
Gee! but I'm hungry" was his
greeting. IT hope you have something
good"
.It isn't good at all now" I re-
turned. ct had it all ready for you at
1 o'clock, and now it is after 8. What
in the world was the matter?"
Forgot all about everything" he
said laconically. Got so interested in
that cover I didn't know anything
else, until just now. when I realized
| 1 was half starved. You'll have to get
used to that, Madge. You've married
an artist, you know, and when the
mood is on, we work without any
thought of time or food-or even Of
pretty brides" He petted my shoulder
/ playfully.
"well. sit down in that easy chair.
and I'll do what / can for you," L
promised. but I can't give you any
thing very good. A luncheon that has
been cooked for two hours isn't exactly
a meal for an epicure, you know"
/ Don't call names like that, Madge,"
Dicky grinned audaciously. I'm hun
CRY enough to eat the tablecloth."
| I warmed up the food as best I
could, set the table again and waited
until Dicky had finished the last
crumb and lighted his inevitable cigar
before brought out my letter.
