A large body of silver lead ore has been discovered within one mile of the White Pass & Yukon Railway, and twenty miles from Skagway, near the summit of White Pass. AL though but little work has been done on the deposit, there is every indication that it is large one. Samples of ore sent to nearly a dozen diff erent assay offices show re- turns from $40 to $80 per ton. The cropping is six feet wide, but in the short distance they have sunk on it the vein has nearly doubled in width. The property lies about a mile west of the summit, on the Ameri- can side of the boundary, al- though close to the border.

Ichtyologists are being forced to revise their opinions with re- gard to the feeding grounds of the Columbia River royaA chinook salmon, as the result of returns from the salmon tagging experiments being conducted this summer by the International Fisheries Con-. mission, according to a study of tagged fish, says the Astoria Budget. Without an exception tagged salmon caught in the Columbia river and Oregon coastal waters this summer, were marked by the British Columbia department of fish cries off the coast of that prov ince. No fish have yet beer, taken bearing a tag affixed by the Washington or Oregon operations. This would seem to indicate conclusively that the salmon entering the Columbia river, at least during the pres. ent year, have made their sum- mer feeding grounds off the British Columbia coast.

Exhaustion Brings End
 To Musical Marathon

MANILA, P. l., Jan. 5.-Rivalry be- tween two brass bands became so in tense during a concert at Pasig, Ri gal province recently, that it was ne cessary for the authorities to call out a detachment of constabulary and the entire police force of the town to preserve order,
 The reason for this display of force was that the concert was contest of endurance between the bands, one from the Tinajeros, nearby town, and one from Kawit, Cavite, the home of General Emilio Aguinaldo.
 The supporters of the contestants were there in force ready to defend their organization with fists if music failed. After playing more than 300 pieces during the contest, which last ed from o'clock Friday evening un- til daylight the next Monday morning the bands agreed to call the contest a draw, thereby avoiding bloodshed. There were judges of the affair, it be- ing the custom for one side to play until one admits defeat, frequently from exhaustion. The two organiZa tions, which are considered among the best in the Philippines, have met on at least three previous occasions, and eac htime the result has been a draw.
 One of the rules of the contests is that all selections must be played from memory, without written notes. Endurance and memory are thus test ed to the utmost. One band plays five pieces and then the other has it's turn. This program continues with out intermission, day and night, until one side is beaten.
 Playing from memory has been an acquisition of Filipino musicians from Spanish times. Recalling an incident at the St. Louis exposition in 1904, where the Philippine constabulary band played, member of that organ. ization said that the lights went out one night when the band was giving a concert and that the audience was amazed when the music continued W1thouta a break. He said the band finished the piece and continued to play until the lights went on again.

LATENT TALENT
 ART DEVELOPED

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-Latent talent in the arts is being brought out of hundreds of men and women in all walks of life here who are devoting their spare time to the study of it's various branches. A dealer in rub Der shoes is showing proficiency in illustrative work while the secretary the president of large steel mill, his instructor says, could easily make a living with pen and brush.
 The director of one of Chicago's s largest art academies has made a study of his spare hour students and their vacations to determine if there was profound increase in the arts and if their appeal was noto broad and deep. The found the larger part of the students were in school because of their interests in special subjects or for general culture.
 Some of the students are grand. fathers, some are grade school stu dents. Virtually every trade and pro- fession is represented from bellboys to university professors. Their calls work usually 15 and one half hours Ia week.
 Many of these students have taken up art work for the pleasure of doing constructive study knowing they will profit by it one way or another some day. Old and young they all take their work very seriously, deriv- ing real pleasure from it and broad ening their cultural sense.

 So far actual construction cannot begin because no sheds big enough to house these great gray monsters have even been built
 Both the R-1OO and the R-101, to be designed as sister ships, will be as nearly identical as practicable, ac- cording to information furnished by the air ministry. Each will exceed in displacement and length far and away any other known air vessel.
 The R-101, it has already officially been announced, will be 720 feet in length, 14O feet in height, 130 feet in diameter, and will be driven by seven engines of 600 horsepower each, burning crude fuel oil instead of pe- trol.
