Sam Gelfer With Rex Again

Those who visited the Rex theatre
last Saturday and Sunday were much
pleased with the excellent program
offered by the management of this
popular photoplay house. Sam Gelf-
er, one of the most talented violinist
in the country, headed the bill, rend-
ering a violin solo after each showing
of the picture, namely "Peter Pan.
To the many music lovers of Newark
Mr.. Gelfer needs no introduction as
he is classed as being on the top rung
of the ladder of talented musicians
and his excellent playing with the
Rex Trio during the showing of
"Peter Pan" surely sustained that
reputation.

SYNOPSIS

CHAPTER Ito a gathering OF
anarchists in Barking, London suburb,
Zaboleff, foreign agitator, tells of the
operations of a body of men who have
become a menace to their activities.
He Is interrupted by the men he Is
describing the Black Gang), who
break up the meeting, sentencing some
of the participants to condign punish
ment and carrying away others. A
memorandum found on Zaboleff gives
an address in Hoxton, London, which
the leader of the attacking party con-
siders of Importance
Flash Jim lay back peacefully un-
conscious, while a faint smell Of
chloroform filled the room.
And now l think we will go. A
most successful evening"
"What are you going to do with me,
you scoundrelY spluttered Waldock.
II warn you that 1 have influential
friends, who-who will ask questions
in-in parliament If you do anything
to me; who will go to Scotland Yard"
II can assure you, Mr. Waldock,
that 1 will make 1t my personal busi-
ness to see that their natural curiosity
Is gratified," answered the leader
suavely. "But for the present | fear
the three filthy rags you edit will
have to be content with the office boy
as their guiding light. And 1 venture
to think they will not suffer"
He made sudden sign, and be-
fore they realized what was happen
ing the two men were caught from
behind and gagged. The next instant
they were rushed through the door,
followed by Flash Jim. For a mo-
ment or two the eyes Of the leader
wandered round the now empty room
taking in every detail then he stepped
forward and blew out the two candles.
The door closed gently behind him,
and a couple Of minutes later two
cars stole quietly away from the brok-
en-down gate along the cart track.
It was not until the leading car
turned carefully into the main road
that anyone spoke.
"Deuced awkward, the police being
there"
Lie DlS WIN was bIANAhS
grunted thoughtfully.
Perhaps" he returned. Perhaps
not. Anyway, the more the merrier.
Flash Jim all right?"
Sleeping like child" answered the
other, peering into the body of the
car.
For about ten miles they drove on
in silence; then at main crossroads
the car pulled up and the big man
got out. The second car was just
behind and for few moments there
was whispered conversation between
him and the other driver. He glanced
at Zaboleff and Waldock, who ap-
peared to be peacefully sleeping on
the back seat, and smiled grimly.
GOOD night, old man. Report as
usual"
Right" answered the driver. $50
long"
The second car swung right-handed
and started northwards, while the
header stood watching the vanishing

In a proclamation issued at Juneau October 21, Governor Geo. A. Parks calls upon the people of the Territory to give due observance to American Education Week, which begins November 18th.
 The proclamation asserts that universal education is essential if self-government by free people is to be perpetuated and that knowledge of our in- stitutions is necessary to 8 thorough understanding of our responsibilities as citizens, and to intelligent exercise of the privileges enjoyed under our system of government. The success of the schools, where in the fundamentals of good citizenship are first imparted depends largely upon the atti- tude of the community toward the school authorities and the support given to public offic- ials who are endeavoring to obtain beneficial school legis- lation; hence it is of the ut most importance that every cit izen be fully informed about tn schools and what is neces- sary for their improvement. To this end all citizens are urged to visit the schools during the Education Week period and encourage a closer and more cordial cooperation between the home and such institutions, thus promoting the progress of education and the welfare of the Territory.

There are some Anchorage grown potatoes on display in the Times office, says the Anchorage Times, which will give some idea of the crop harvested this season by Ar thur II Marsh on the Aberdeen ranch, five miles southeast of town. Five of them, placed end to end, measured approXi- mately a yard. They are solid, fully matured, and of fine ap- pearance, as good as grown anywhere in the world and average larger than most of them. But that is not half the story. The Aberdeen ranch is believed to have set a world record for production, as the following figures will show: On a tract of land 34 square rods in extent, there were har- vested 5000 pounds of mer- chantable potatoes, which is equivalent to 11.796 tons to the acre, of 392.15 bushels. the acre, or 392.15 bushels. farm, in the Fairbanks district, claims to have produced an average of II tons of potatoes to the acre this season, which is the nearest approach to the Anchorage record thu sfar re corded.

NEW COMPANY
 TAKES CONTROL
 OF NATIONAL SILVER

The Sebakwe District Mines, said to be a powerful South African mining concern con- trolled by British capital, has purchased controlling inter- est in the properties of the National Silver Mines, Ltd, north of the B. c. Silver, and will spend a large sum in de- velopment work thereon, ac- cording to advices received in Stewart last week. !?
 The reports say the price paid by the Sebakwe Co.,, was $75O,000, most of which will be spent in exploring the property, which was located some years ago by o. B. Bush, and subsequently, placed under the control of Bush Mines, Limited. Later the group, com prising 25 claims, passed to the control of the National Sil- yer Mines, Ltd, by which it has been extensively prospect ed by diamond drilling during the past summer. The results of these operations are said to have disclosed what is believ- ed to be the northerly exten- sion of the same mineral zone found on the Premier and B, c. Silver.
 According to reliable inform ation the Sebakwe company is backed by the London interests controlling the Selukwe Gold Mining and Finance Company, which holds approximately a two-thirds interest in the B. c. Silver, the remainder being held by the Premier Gold Min ing Company.
 Local stockholders of the National Silver Mines state that the deal has been closed and ratified, although full de- tails of the transaction have not been received. The new holders are planning to com mence operations at an early date. The first move will be the construction of a large camp building for which ap- proximately 31,000 feet of lumber has been purchased from the Hyder Lumber Com pany and is now on it's way to the ground.
