the present month has been the wet

While it is extremely nasty working
out of doors in the pouring rain the

of cement building blocks on hand,
and also does bricklaying and con
crete work just a little cheaper than
the other fellow. tf
AERIAL MAIL SERVICE
ESTABLISHED NEXT YEAR
WASHINGTON, IX t\, Oct 11 —
Uncle Sam’s aeroplane mail route iu
Alaska, contracted for some time oro,
cannot sturt because the European
war is gobbling up all the aeroplanes
as fast as they're made.

new air route between Seward and
idilarod, Alaska, is iu high hope that !
the route will He in operation by
spring. The air line will take the
place of the old Malamutc trail and
instead of listening for the postman's
whistle, the Alaskan folk will strain
their ears for the whirr of a 200
horse power motor high up in the air.
Earl L. Hyers, an Alaskan capital

MAY ASK KAISER
MIGHT ATTACK WITHIN LIMIT
Agreed that Submarine Attacks Sun
day Were Within the Law, Hut
Keur Is Expressed that in Killure
Mistakes Might He Made.
LONG BRANCH, N. J.. Oct. II.—
President Wilson and Secretary of
State Lansing are again in confer
ence this morning on the submarine
attacks on British and other foreign
vessels off the Atlantic coast Sunday.
It is agreed that in Sunday's attack
the German submarines did not vio
late international law or in anywise
infringe upon the neutrality of the
United States, hut it is admitted there
is grave danger of the submarines
making a mistake and getting within
tlie 3-limit, in which event a situa
tion would arise that would compel
the United States to take drastic
measures.
In view of this fact it is probable
tlie President will ask the Kaiser to
remove the menace.
A precedent for this request Is
found in the request made upon En
gland in lft 14, in reply to which the
British government promised to avoid
all danger of such an act.

KIND COPPER LEDGE
AT PORCUPINE BAV
Using a rope ladder to mount the
glacier, Charles Emsweiler and
Frank Skeen located a lode of copper
ore on the old Likes property at Por
cupine bay for which searches have
been made ever since there was a
Resurrection bay.
The lode is high grade copper run
ning from 31 to 35 per cent, and at
the point reached by means of scaling
the ice cliff was 30 feet in width.
Float ore running 36 per cent cop
per was found in the morraine at the
bottom of the glacier, and once S. E.
Likes, the discoverer, found a lead of
high grade ore quite a ways up the
glacier. After several years' resi
dence at Porcupine bay in which he
searched the mountain each summer,
Likes disposed of his holdings to Sam
Silverman for $2,500. Strange to
relate, the next three years the snow
fall was so heavy that at no time was
Silverman able to reach the lead so
he abandoned the property. It has ’
been staked several times since, but
no one could find the lead from which
the high-grade ore came, and it has
been a sort of "lost lode" copper mine
ever since. The general understand
ing has been that the i-'de was under
the glacier.—Exchange.
