TANKS BRIDES
 ARESTRANDED
 IN PHILIPPINES

MANILA, July 12, (by Associated Press) Three hundred or more Rus sian "war brides" who have come here from Siberia with the American soldier husbands, are to be sent to the United States by the government as soon as transportation is available.
 These brides come from every sta tion in life, from the peasant girl to the college graduate and number have been accustomed to the luxuries of life before war and revolution drove them from their homes.
 Their experiences in Manila, pro- bably have been disappointment to most of them, as their soldier hus- bands on their meager pay of $36 a month have been unable to support a family, house rent and food prices \ having almost doubled during the past year.
 To prevent these Russian girls from actual suffering, the Red Cross and other charitable organizations. have provided them with shelter and food
 They are willing to work, but hav- ing no knowledge of English or Span ish, they are unable to find employ ment in any of the stores of Manila and native men and boys are preferr- ed for house servants.
 After several weeks of investiga- tion as to the best disposition to make of the war brides and their soldier husbands, the army authorities de- cided that they, with few exceptions, should be sent to the United States and there distributed among the army camps and posts, where quar- ters are available for married enlist ed men. These the department of the Philippines is not able to provide Only those enlisted men with wives who have an income in addition to their army pay will be permitted to remain in the Philippines.

BERMUDA HOLDS
 TERCENI'ENNIAL
 EARLY OCTOBER

HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 12 (by Associated Press) Bermuda, the old est remaining British plantation" is preparing to celebrate it's Tercenten- nary this autumn, for which purpose 2000 pounds have been appropriated Since the Prince of Wales announced that he meant to pay call on his loyal subjects, they hit on the scheme of combining two festive occasions and have one grand affair on Oct ober 7. when the Renown. with the heir to the throne aboard is to cast anchor here.
 It was August 1, 1920 that the Col onial parliament held it's first sitting, but as the royal engagements cannot very we'll be altered, it was thought wise to set. back the gala date.
 For nearly 300 years the business of governing this little outpost of the Empire has gone on under the same forms without material change. It is but natural that the 10000 inhabitants of this 20 square miles of corral rock should wish to honor their aged con- stitution.
 Originally founded by a shipwreck- ed company under Sir George Som CTS, destined for Virginia in 1909, the islands have remained continuously under British rule.
 Revenues are raised chiefly from tariff duties. No land taxes are lev jed by the colony. There is a very light tax on realty in the parishes and the proceeds are used for main tenance of the poor.
 There are no divorce laws in Der muda and only one breach of prom ise case was ever tried here Most of the cases on the calander involve bicycle stealing, assault, petty theft; there is little serious crime, though in a region where everyone rides a wheel the theft of a bicycle is re- garded somewhat as horse stealing was in the West a few years ago.
 There are old-timers here who have never set eyes on 8 train or a trolley car; but of late they have had the satisfaction of seeing flying-boats circling through the air.
 Innovations of any kind are apt to be looked on with some suspicion The majority is conservative and that is perhaps why so mitch sentiment is attached to the coming celebration of the 300-year old constitution.

MUCH WORK IS BEING DONE IN
 KANTISHNA A

Considerable prospecting is in pro- gross this summer in the Kantishna district, according to recent arrivals in Nenana from that section af Alas ka, It is estimated that there are at least thirty-ifve men in the hills at the present time engaged in system atic search for gold and silver ledges, and more expected before the season is much farther advanced. Several good leads are in process of develop ment, a number of promising pros poets have been located, and there is at least one mine producing ore.
 While not great deal is known of the plans of Tom Aitken, who took out upwards of 800 or 900 tons of galena ore during the past winter, recent developments seem to indicate that he plans even more extensive operations in the near future, and that he may make his headquarters in the Kantishna instead of the KuskokWlm One of the things that points to such a move is the recent transfer of the Aiken assay plant from Nixon Fork to the Aiken property in the Kan tishna, where it has been set up by Assayer G. E.. Beraud.
 More ore, it now appears, was ex- tracted from the Aitken mine during the winter than was anticipated early in the spring. It was reported that not more that 700 tons of ore had been delivered at Roosevelt from the mine, and it was thought that it might run considerably less. Members of the crew of the steamer Reliance, however, estimate that the pile of ore at the landing would weigh at least 800 tons and possibly more. The Re- liance took away 333 tons, and it made a very small hole in the pile of sacks awaiting shipment. There is believed to be at least 800 tons left.
 About the biggest news received from the Kantishna lately is the an nouncement that J. A. Haney has talk en lease and option on the property owned by Charles McGonigal. Details of the deal are not known, but in view rof the fact that it was Haney who induced Aitken to take over the Guig- ley property, it is thougt that he will speedily have operations started on his latest acquisition. MT. Haney is firm believer in the substantial character of the Kantishna country, and to him is due much of the credit for getting things started.
 The usual placer operations will be in progress in the district this summer, in addition to the hardrock activities, and it is possible that some 1arge-scale mining will be inaugural ed soon.

disappointed in not obtaining soldier husbands at Vlad.vostok, disguised as American soldiers slowed away on transports and came to Manila, SC eager were they to escape from the turmoil and suffering which have pre- vailed in Siberia almost since the be. ginning of the war These stow aways were turned over to the auth critics here to be deported to the country whence they came. Several of them were married at the pier while awaiting to be put on board the transport for the voyage back to Vladivostok, which made them Amer ican citizens and gave them the right to remain here.
 One of these stowaways, clad in male attire, when about to be placed on board a transport for deportation with several thousand Russian rubles in her hands, appealed to the crowd at the pier for some man to marry her and save her life from what she said would be certain death if she were returned to Siberia. The Rus sian money which is now of little or no value, appeared to have no influ- ence toward bringing forth husband for the woman, and she was sent back to Siberia
