Egan Petrokov, a well known min ing man, arrived in Seward recently, bringing number of specimens from ga new strike made by hi mnear Rapids i, Station, on the Richardson highway, says the Valdez Miner. The ore ap- rpareHtly carries silver, lead and gold as well as other undetermined min , erals. Samples of the ore have been sent to Fairbanks for analysis. and a report is expected within "a short time.
 The strike was made about a half ! mile south. of Rapids Station on what Is known as Gunnysack creek. Before l locating the ground MT. Petrokov spent considerable time prospecting the lead, and uncovered it in several ! places over distance of five claims ] length, finding 1t to range about 1s0 feet iii width. The entire lead is high :. ly mineralized, with only small pro l portion of white quartz.

Chorles Murphy returned to Valdez & few daes ago from a prospecting trip into the Port Wells district, and brought with him a curio, the like of which has never been seen in trat sec ttion, says the Valdez Miner.
 His find consists of a small sword ,or dagger, about two feet in length, and with wavy blade. which much resembles the Malay kris. The ham dle is of wood, with a hand-beaten ferrule, which is engraved, but the en- graving is partially covered by a band of woven fibre, apparently from ssome tropical vine. At ~one time there was. apparently, another metal

lie cap on the end of the handle, but this is missing. Near the handle the blade widens materially and is deeply notehied along this widened section. The blade of the weapon is of remark able temper, and at one time was ap- parently inlaid, at least near the hilt, with copper.
 Mir. Murphy will take his find to Juneau and will seek the opinion of Rev. Kashevaroff, curator of the Alaska Museum, as to its probable origin.
 Even on Atka Island, of the Aleu- tian group, .2,000 miles from conti- mental United States, is the younger generation causing grave concern, The older A1eut Indians complain that their daughters are dancing to the music of the white nlafl's phonograph when they should be weaving the Attu baskets, for which the tribe was once famous. Counsellors of the tribe appealed to United States Bureau of Education school teacher, who was told that her pupils wove but a scant dozen of baskets last winter. The teacher has added a class in basket making to the Three 'Rs of her cur riculum and has employed an aged na- tive woman to teach it.

 the presence of the jellyfish floating on the ocean. For two days, the re- port said, Captain Bergman had plowed his vessel through the mass of rainbow -colored jellyfsh. These forms are not uncommon in the Atlantic waters, but the discovery of their ex- istence in the Northern Pacific in such numbers has caused considerable sur prise among scientists.
 To the curious who seek informa- ton about the steamer Victoria, that pioneer vessel of the Seward-N Nome run, and the favorite ship of the Sew ard Peninsula, the following bits of information will no doubt astonish some.
 The Victoria is 56 years old. She was christened the "Carpathia," hav- ing been built for the Cunard trans Atlantic run. She was used as a troop ship during the Boer war. She was built at Clyde, Scotland, and has a hand-wrought iron hull (none like it today) She at one time carried sails and used them. At the time she was put in service she was one of the largest and fastest liners on the At lantic, running between Liverpool and New York. Since leaving the trans Atlantic run she has seen service in nearly every quarter of the world, having run to South America, the Oreint and Australia, and finally 7 found her way into the .Alaoska ser vice, whore she will undoubtedly re- main, as she is practically the oldest vessel in the Alaska service.

GOLD PLATE USED
At ROYAL Dinner
Rarest of China Used When.
Spanish Monarchs Are
Guests at Buckingham.
ny the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, July I5.-The British
sovereigns brought out the famous
gold plate Of Buckingham Palace. the
rarest china and the most beautiful
flowers, not to mention the choicest
foods and wines, for the dinner last
night at which King Alfonso and the
Spanish Queen were the honored
guests.
The Spanish royal colors. red and
yellow, did not lend themselves to the
floral scheme, but with pink and
mauve blooms prevailing, the court
florist produced decorations which ex-
cited the admiration of the SO dis
tinguished guests. THESE, besides the
British and Spanish monarchs and
their consorts, included the Duke of
Connaught, Princess Beatrice, the
Spanish Ambassador and the March
ioness Merry Del Val, the prime min
lister and Mrs. Baldwin and the for
eign secretary and Lady Chamberlain.
A custom of the Victorian era was
revived when pipers OF the Scots
guards marched around the great
state table at intervals playing lively
tunes. This sort of music with the
royal meals was much favored during
the life of the famous queen, but the
custom almost died out in the present
and preceding reigns.

Physician Crafts
Mans Little Toe
to Severed Finger
BY Universal Service.

NEW YORK, April 29.-An opera,
tion performed by DR.. Joseph L. Fluid
was revealed today by the journal OF
the American Medical association.
He made a finger from little toe
for a man, whose identity was not
revealed and who recently had his
finger cut off at the knuckle.
The toe was cut half off and graft
ed to the stub of the finger, when
this had thoroughly healed the toe
was completely severed from the foot
and the grating to the hand finished.
The operation required several
months. The journal reports the cp-
Grafton a success and says the patient
can manipulate the new finger.

CRIME REMEDY
IN HANDS Of
STATE
National Commission Denies
Existence of Set Cure
So for LaWIeSsness.

WASHINGTON, April 29.-CR)-
The Nationl Crime Commission, after
Investigations covering a period OF
nine months, has concluded there is
no universal panacea for crime. but
that application of remedies rests
with individual states and individual
citizens.
The commissions attitude was set
forth by its executive committee.
which submitted a report through
Richard Washburn Child, chairman of
the organization, recommending crea-
ton of state crime commissions by
state legislatures, or by private citi-
zens.
Mr.. Child reported the committee
has rejected a proposal for national
crime survey, believing it would be i'm
practical.
ACTION NECESSARY.
T. Trubee Dawson, New York,
chairman, declared the crime situa-
tion is such as to challenge atten-
lion, thought and action" and that
the most pressing question is that OF
administration of justice.
Saying that very few jurisdictions
In the country can properly boast of
an ideal state of affairs, Mr.. Da-
vison asserted that where conditions
have been accurately ascertained, "the
situation has almost universally been
found to be disgraceful,"
He thought, however, that the
American people in the various COM
munities could make the machinery of
Justice efficient if they would "set
their minds to the task"
MARKED IMPROVEMENT.
Joab II. Banton, state district at
torney for New York county, said
there had been a marked improvement
in the crime situation there in the
last four years and attributed much
of the success of drive against crime
10 the support Of New York newspa-
pers.
He said the newspapers have CO.
operated by giving the same promin-
ence to convictions and sentences they
gave to crimes and criminals, and
added that the result Of this publicity
has been equal to more than 1000
additional policemen and ten addi-
tional judges"
Newspapers, he held, can serve as
the greatest. crime deterrents.
Declaring he was privileged to
speak for the firearms and ammuni-
ton industry of the country, Frank
j. Harms told the commission the
arms industry would support a move
TO obtain q uniform law in all states
to control and regulate sale and pos.
session Of pistols and revolvers.
PLAN SOCIETY.
President Coolidge, who received
the executive committee yesterday, en-.
dorsed the commissions activities in
letter TO its chairman.
While the crime commission was
meeting, another group of prominent
attorneys and jurists, headed by
Charles L. Hughes, began considera-
tion Of a plan for organizing a ma.
tional society that would seek to as
sist law enforcement by eliminating
what was characterized as the "dis-
honest element" in the legal profes-
sion.
A report proposing a federation of
local bar associations with state as
sOciations was submitted.
The conference was preliminary to
the converting today of the meeting
of the American Law Institute.
