Interest has been distracted from
Australia to the neighboring terri

TARHEEL MINERAL WEALTH
North Carolina's Production Valued
At 100000

CnaTlOCCe, ~. ", aug. Ho' ANoA 'i1
Cardinals production of minerals
during the year 1920 was valued at
more than $S,000,O00, according to
information given out today at pub

compilations furnished by DR.. Joseph
Hyde Pratt, director of the North
Carolina Geological and Economic
Survey. DR.. Pratt, who is organizing
with notable success a great exhibit
showing the diversity and value of
the natural resources of the state,
plans to make possible broad study
of the states mineral resources by
exposition visitors.
The production in mineral wealth
for 1920 shows a tremendous = in
crease over 1900, when the total val
ue. of such products was only ST.
604,078. The figures exceeded the
$4,000, 900 mark for the first time in
1902 by just $4,000, but dropped
back in 1903 and 1904 to s1,9O0,000.
In 1905, an increase of s5oo,ooo was
shown, and the total for 1906 showed
another increase of 100000, the
$3,OOO,OOO mark being exceeded by
$1,000. A slight increase was shown
in 1907, but the following year a
reduction of about $8,550,000 was
shown, and the totals fuctuated a.
round the $2,s50,O00 total during
the next five years, the total Of 1912
falling to $2,514,0O0. An increase of
81, 100000 was shown by the total of
$780, 900 for 1913, with slight de-
creases being shown for 1914 and
1915. The total of $4,746,OoO for
1916 represented an increase of ST.
200, 900; the total for 1917 was
s5,1s2,OO0; 1919, s6,457,o00. With
some figures yet lacking, the 1920
total stands at sS,O51, 900, and DR..
Pratt expects the final total to be
about $s,25o,0O0.

KILL ESKIMO "BAD MAN."
LYNCHERS TO BE TRIED
Canadian Mounted Police Bring Tale
of "UnWfitten Law"-Native
Women Aided Strangling


Ottawa, Aug. 25.-A Strange story
of the course of justice in the Cana
dian northland which resulted in the
sum mary execution of an Eskimo by
strangulation was brought here today
by the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
The victim of the unwritten law,
one Ahkak, was himself murderer,
the police said, and adjudged by his
acknowledges in Konghermuet, an
Eskimo colony on Prince Albert
Sound, as dangerous to the commu-
nifty.
In the summer of 1919, the re-
port reads, Ahkak murdered Agluetik
Shortly afterward Ahka made hunt
ing pact with Olepsea, by which they
were to share fortunes and the wife
of the former.
In March, 1920, when the hunters
returned to their base, the Esimos Of
Konghermuet, both men and women,
found Ahkak. Seemingly aware of
their intent, Ahkak told them of a
deer skin line outside his hut which
would serve their purpose.
It was with this line that Ahkak
was duly strangled and two Eskimos,
Kasahovi and Amokuka, charged
with being chief actors in the drama,
were arrested last March by 'Corpor-
al E. H. Cornelius and Constable j
Brockie of the mounted police.
They will be held in Harschel Is
land over the Winter and will be
brought out for trial next Spring.

Slave Woman, 10.

York, Aug. 25.-Martha Ratchford
negro woman, aged 10 years, who
died Sunday of the infrmities of old
age, was buried at Mount Zion, near
here, Monday.
Hundreds of negroes attended her
funeral. Martha, who was born a
slave, is reputed never to have been
sick a day in her life. She had been
living on the farm of R. Moultrie
Bratton, near here, and Mr.. Bratton
is quite positive that she was at
least 10 years old.

GERMAN TREATY
NOT YET SIGNED
UNEXPECTED TECHNICAL POINT
RAISED IN CONNECTION WITH
FORMALITIES CAUSES DE-
LAY AS COMMISSIONER SENDS
QUERY TO WASHINGTON

Berlin, Aug. 25.-The peace trea-
ty between the United States and
Germany was not signed today as had
been intended.
The delay in signing resulted from
an unexpected technical point raised
in connection with the formalities as
arranged by Ellis Loring. Dresel,
American commissioner, and DR..
Friedrich Rosen, the German foreign
minister, yesterday.
The ceremony of signing was to
have taken pace at noon today at
the foreign Office, but it was post
poned at the request of Mr.. Dresef,
who asked the privilege of querying
the Washington government on the
mooted point.
At both the headquarters of the
American commission and the Ger
man foreign Office it was said that
the, technicality which involved the
delay did not affect the contents or
character Of the treaty as both gov
ernments reached a. full accord on
the official text some days ago.
Although the point which was re-
ferred to Washington is said to be of
minor technical Importance, Com
missioner Dresel preferred to obtain
q ruling upon it from the American
state department. If this reply is re-
ceived Thursday, it is probable that
duly executed copies of the treaty
will be exchanged that day.
The signing in Vienna today of
the peace treaty between Austria and
the United States was said to be a
mere coincidence with the date on
which the German peace treaty was
to have been signed, as it was de-
clared that neither German no,
American officials here had been in.
formed of the signing of the Aus
trian treaty.
