I
steamer. ;
It is believed that Mrs. Brown, who
was reported to be in ill health, will,
accompany Judge Brown back to'
Valdez. Mrs. L. L. Middlecamp, their
daughter, was visiting with -them in
California.
EXTECT FAIRBANKS TO
PRODUCE MUCH AXTIMONY
To many people of Fairbanks' the
talk of antimony production was one
big joke and it probably will be a
surprise to them to learn that dur
ing the next six months the Tanana
valley will probably produce odd
quarter of all the antimony heeded,
in the United States and CanadajjfjiB
a whole year, or half the -amount
needed tot the period duiriiijj; ibhich
it is produced. According to the Min
ing and Engineering World, the1 to
tal consumption of antimony Id the
United States and Canada is from
six hundred to seven hundred tons
per month.
The antimony actually consumed
in the United States is only about 60
per cent as great as it was pridr to
the war and in normal times, as it is
not being used except in cases of sib-1
solute necessity owing to the high
price demanded for metal.
From the figures of the' Mining and!
Engineering ^World, the consumption1
is fixed at from 600 to 700 tons'per
month. Assuming that itls ’660 tons
every thirty days, the total consump
tion for a year would be 7800 tons.
In the Fairbanks district during
the next six monthB, according to
contracts for shipments and estimates
of operators, the production will be
close to 4000 tons of ore. tt may be
a little more or a little' less. This
ore will run on an average better
than SO per cent pure antimony, so
that the total production of the me
tal will be fully 2000 tons for the
season, or more than one-fourth the
total amount needed in the United
States and Canada.
According to the Mining and En
gineering World, no antimony is
coming from Eurdpe, from the mar
ket which formerly supplied the
World prior to the outbreak of the
war. What antimony ore is not fur
nished from the mines in this coun
try comes from Japan and China, but
the ore from these far eastern coun
tries is said to be not as good as ,hat
of the United States.
NATIONAL DEFENSE IN
NEW YORK CHURCH
NEW YORK, Feb. 8.—Rev. Eaton,

.las Announced that Second Expedi
tion will be Larger than First
and Expects Results.
CHICAGO, Feb. 8.—Henry Ford
is not discouraged because his peace
expedition failed of accomplishing
even the least of tble many great
things which he had hoped. He be
lieves he will yet succeed in bring
ing the soldiers of the wirring Euro
pean nations from the trenches and
has, announced , that another new
peace ship will start soon and that
the expedition will be on a larger
scale than the first.
Ford has declined to make public
any Statement concerning his plans
(or the new expedition or of the man
ner in which he hopes to interest the
neutral nations of Europe In his Adit-'
imposed task for the benefit of hu
manity.
The manufacturer has been in
daily conference with Jane Addaras,
Bryan and other peace advocates
and it is bettered that some definite
plan has been evolved which they
have reason to believe will appeal to
the governments of the belligerent
nations of Europe.
