how he kept on his feet, frozen,

afraid of attracting the attention of

the longest night comes to an end
With the morning, people began
moving in the streets. He had al

he found himself being shyly observed
by an idle fellow. Passing near he
heard him mutter: Wilson, wilson"
so he replied and was taken to our
quarters.
IN the afternoon, when Jack had

was kept by the widow of a worker,
lying now with many other proletar-

COPPER MT. DISCOVERER
 MAKES TRIP FAIRBANKS

O. M. Grant, who with Frank Jiles, discovered Copper Mountain in the Kantishna, says the News Miner, arrived in Fairbanks the other day by freight. MT. Grant stopped over in Nenana four days before coming to Fairbanks. paper that conditions in the Kan tishna look better than for some time. Mining engineers have report ed favorably on the district, which will probably do much to add trans portation facilities to the district Lack of transportation is the chief drawback at present. There is plen- ty of ore there which would be con sidered rich anywhere else, but the cost of shipping is so great that the miners are forced to high-grade. Mir Grant believes that the construction of a wagon road will help much, and that ultimately spur from the rail road will be built
 Professor Pilgrim, of the Alaska College, spent the summer at Cop per Mountain, and was very well pleased with the ground. He be lieves that in time it will be one of the big copper producers of Al aska.
 Joe Quigley, at Eureka, will take out ore during the winter, accord ing to Grant. He has about 30 tons ready for shipment now, which vii be hauled to the railroad by Harry Warren Fairbanks freighter.
 MT. Grant spent the summer do ing representation and development wcrk on his claims.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED
Man Arrested Because He Offered a
Policeman q Drink.

"Times have certainly changed in
San Antonio"
Thusly did Charles Dora, 80, 81
North Pecos street, express himself
as Police Sergeant Beze booked him
on the blotter at police headquarters,
at ) 80 Saturday morning, alleging
he violated the Dean liquor act.
Dora had been arrested by Patrol
man A. Valdez in front of the fire
station, South Alamo and Lavaca
streets. The officer alleged the pris-
oner had a pint bottle of hooch, five
sixths filled, and wanted to give the
firemen a drink. They refused. Then
he offered the bluecoat drink and
was "pinched."
Yes, times have certainly changed"
the prisoner repeated. Just think
of it-arrestcd because l offered a
man a drink-and Valdez is an old
| friend of mine. We played marbles
| together when we were boys, played
baseball when we were young men
and went TO dances. And, now, just
think of it. He would sent me to
the penitentiary because I offered him
drink"
Policeman Valdez says that while
he seems to remember Dora, he
doubts he was such a chum as Dora
\ claims.
