san FRANCISCO, March >. -
George Carson Campbell, 80, one
time Desert Rat yesterday won
for the second time his fight to Sc
cure from the American Smelling
and Refining company royalties
estimated at S5,0O0.000 on blast
furnace invention.
The federal circuit court Of ap-
peals here denied the request Of the
smelling company for a new trial
based on new evidence that
Campbell had signed away his in
tcrest in the invention.
II was not believed that further

be made by the company, since the
United States supreme court already
has upheld the previous decision
awarding Campbell royalties.
The court today ruled that it had

 of Ancient Alaskan Days

Alex Malcolm Smith, one of the advance agents for the Detroit Avia- tion Society, North Pole explorers, who will arrive in Seward in two weeks from Seattle, accompanied by Earl Rossman, photographer, will be recalled by many as being brief wis., itor in Seward last summer, having arrived on the s. S. Victoria from Nome. From here he went Outside.
 He is one of the best known of the old-time prospectors of the North and previous to arriving at Seward had just completed a lengthy investiga- tion of mineral deposits in the Arc tic. Among his claims in the Arc tic regions is one covering a lake of oil beneath which, it is confidently believed, lay scores of skeletons of mast0dons. The interest of scien- lists for years has been directed to this probable fruitful field, which no douht would add considerably to modern knowledge of when Alaska was tropical garden.

WHEAT CLOSES

CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-Wheat fluct'i-

the stability in Liverpool and then
reacting irregularly 10 lower close.
The final minutes witnessed a furry
from bottom levels. News seemed to
count for little, the swings giving one
the impression that factions ON both
sides were simply pitting their strength
against each other. Corn was indie
pendently strong but forfeited much Of
its gain with the reactionary wheat
market finally.
Houses with eastern connections
were aggressive on the selling side
early. The East has sold wheat con-
sistently for the last three days, the
total running way up into the mill
lions. The impression is that promi-
nent Wall street operator and his trail
ers have sold out long wheat and have
established thcir position on the bear
side. Local bulls did much Of the
buying.
Export business was moderate, the

here. Spot wheat abroad was steady.
Locally wheat finished l IA TO
. 3-Sc lower, corn is TO 3-Sc higher,
oats unchanged to 1-Sc lower, and rye
1 is to l Lie lower. Higher prices
prevailed for corn at the last. Best
levels were not held, however, scat
tered profit taking causing n reaction
in the final trading.
Oats moved within a narrow range
and finished steady to a trifle easier.
Rye trailed wheat down in irregular
fashion.
Scattered realizing and selling by
house with export connections took
the edge off provisions. The weak
ness in hogs offset the strength in
corn rs an influence in lard.
