RICH COPPER GLANCE
 FIND IS REPORTED

J. E. Barrett. who for a number of years has been operating the Green Group of copper claims which lie across the canyon of Mccarthy creek from the famous Mother Lode mine, has struck the pay streak. says the Cordova Times. For a num- Der of years NJ Barrett has been running tunnels and drifts on the greensboro contact in the endeavor to locate the extension of the rich glance deposits known to exist on the Mother Lode. Re gently a small stringer of high grade which was being followed, opened up into a lens of solid glance and azuriae of such size as 70 warrant the expectation that the Green Group will soon be placed in the class of shippers. Mir. Barrett's dis covery is especially fortunate in that it will undoubtedly result in a re- newed activity in a argearea hith- erto undeveloped.

INVENTS NEW
 STREET CAR APPROACH

Louis Quick, formerly of Belling. ham and resident of Alaska for the past 15 months, and now in Ketchi, kan recently received the sixth pat ent of an invention of his. an i'm provement on the approachways to street car platforms
 Probably inspired by the latest styles, Mir Quick conceived the idea of 8 sort of gangway to take the place of those two or three extreme ly long steps by which passengers enter street cars. The gangway or approach can be let down to the street and access to the platform is much easier for passengers, especial ly fat people and ladies encumbered with packages or a bird cage, or wearing g hobble skirt.
 It is said that wherever used, the new invention will greatly increase the numbers riding on street cars, even in this day of the jitney bus, the short skirt and the rolled stock ings.

WORLDS LARGEST STEAMSHIP
 READY SOON FOR SERVICE

NEW YORK-Oct. 1.-Announce- ment that the worlds largest ship, the Majestic, will be ready for serv- ice between New York and South ampton next spring directs attention 10 the facilities for docking the great ship at her pier on her ar rival at New Yo TX and the methods to be employed in doing so.
 When the largest of the present ocean liners came out, just before the war, 1t was necessary to extend the piers at New York where they are docked, to protect their long hulls from traffic passing up and down the Hudson river. The extend ed piers will be a very tight fit in deed for the Majestic, while the task of getting her into her berth will present as big job as the docking experts employed by the steamship companies at New York ha ve yet encountered. .....: -... ..:.- .:-
 New ork IS pernaps the nardeSI port in the world in whi ch to dock a great ocean liner, from the fact that it is the only one where the docks are at right angles to a river in which strong tides flow regularly.
 A ships captain is usually pie tured as experiencing his greatest worries when his vessel Is at sea buffeted by wind and storm. As a matter of fact on modern liners storms are small concern compared to his anxiety when he enters port and finds his ship hampered by lack of sea room-of space to navigate.

The youngest is only 19 years, 1
months old.
