PACKING HOUSE
WORKERS PROTEST
Have Asked Secretary Lansing to
Make Demand that Britain Pay
for American Meat Cargoes.
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Oct. 7 —
The attorneys for the packing house
employes of Chicago have asked the
State Department to protest to Great
Britain against the detention of 29
American vessels with meat cargoes,
which have been seized by the British
admiralty and the cargoes confiscated.
The employes of the Chicago stock
yards and packing houses are mostly
Americans and they are insistant that
the rights of American shippers are
being violated by the British in pre
venting shipments being sent to neu
tral countries and demand that Pres
ident Wilson follow the same course
in dealing with Great Britain as he
adopted with regard to German sub
marine warfare
The packing houses of Chicago lost
nearly $100,000,000 by the confisca
tion of the cargoes bound for Norway
and Sweden by the British prize
court and the packers as well as their
employes are insistant that the Amer
ican government shall assist them in
securing payments for the shipments
and establish the rights of Ameri
can shippers to trade with any neu
tral country they desire.

Narrowly Escaped Having His Head
Hlown Off When Shot Gun Is
Accidentally Discharged.
*
Clias. Johnson, a well known miner
who has been employed in the Ram
say-Rutherford mine, is a patient in
the Red Cross Hospital, suffering
from a badly lacerated cheek which
may disfigure him for life as the re
sult of a gun shot. It appears that
Johnson was lying in his bunk watch
ing Louis Peterson, who was fixing a
shotgun which had become jammed.
In some manner the shell was explod
ed and the shot passed Johnson’s
head so close that the concussion
ripped the flesh from his cheek and
tore the curtain of his eye, which
may impair its sight.
The injured man was brought from
the mine to the hospital and an ex
amination of his wounds by physi
cians failed to show any marks where
the flesh had been penetrated by the
shot. His face is badly powder
marked and it is feared that he will
be disfigured for the balance of his
life. No blame for the accident is at
tached to Peterson who is said to be
careful in handling firearms.
The injured man is reported to be
resting easily.
Tonight.
The Liberty Theatre announces
that it will run Series 13, 14, 15, of
Lucille Love, the Girl of Mystery,
thus ending that well known serial
story in 30 reels, Lucille Love. Ad

GUENPOX IS
IN MILD FORM
Parents are Requested to Keep Watch
for Signs of Disease and Help
Stamp It Out.
_
That an epidemic of chickenpox in
mild form is prevalent among the
children of Valdez is reported by Dr.
E. 0 Dalton. He states that there
are t> number of cases in the city and
has issued a warning to parents to
carefully examine their offsprings for
signs of unusual skin eruptions and
in cases where doubt exists to consult"
the health authorities.
The disease manifests itself by
eruptions or white-headed pimples
appearing on the face, and is usually
preceded by a period of two weeks of
lassitude and headache, while the
disease is in the stage of incubation.
Before the eruptions occur high fev
ers are experienced, but the fevers
disappear after the acute stage has
been passed and the sores begin to
heal. It is during the latter stage of
the disease that the danger of trans
mitting it to others is greatest and
parents are requested to keep their
children at home until all traces of
the eruption his disappeared ‘from
their faces.
Chickenpox is also reported by the
Juneau papers to have made its ap
pearance there and the health author
ities immediately isolated the patient
to prevent its spreading among the
school children.

EXTENSIVE MOBYBDENITE
VEIN DISCOVERED.
The finding of huge blocks of
gneiss and granulyte containing mo
lybdenite at a point about 800 feet
east of mile 6 on the White Pass rail
way, the float lying on the north side
of the east fork of the Skagway river,
led to a discovery by Joseph Guyot
and Charles Cartwright of a fissure
vein containing molybdenite, the
gangue being a white quartz.
The outcrop of the vein occurs
at a high point on the precipitous
side of a granite-gneiss escarpment,
traversed by several dikes of diorite,
and situated about 3000 feet in a
northerly direction from Denver sta
tion on the White Pass railway.
In the operation of the above min
ing claim, known as the Combination
lode, it will be necessary to drive a
cross-cut tunnel at a point about 150
feet below the outcrop of the lead, as
the rock slides will not permit any
mining development at the point of
discovery.
At a point about one and one-half
miles north of the Combination lode
Guyot and Cartwright have located
the Combination No. 12 lode, a ledge
of quartz-feldspar pegmatite.
The ledge is impregnated with
molybdenite and is 50 feet wide.
Molybdenite is found widely dis
tributed through the granite-gneiss
area on the north side of the east
fork of the Skagway river.
Beginning at Mile 6 on the White
Pass railway and extending in an
easterly direction to the S glacier, a
distance of about 8 miles, granatic
rock and white quartz float is found
containing this rare mineral.
The district is fully worthy of a
thorough and systematic investiga
tion, and diligent prospecting will
undoubtedly lead to the discovery of
numerous deposits of molybdenite.
In the first half of 1915 molybde
nite concentrates were produced from
a mine near Empire, Colorado. This
is the first American mine to be ex
tensively developed for molybdenite.
Molybdenite is used for the manu
facture of Molybdenum metal. Ferro
Molybdenum, Molybdic acid. Molyb
date of Ammonia, and other chemical
compounds.
Molybdenum metal is used as an
alloy for st.eei.
The following is taken from the
Mining and Engineering Journal of
Sept. 11:
Molybdenum— Reports apparently
well authenticated say that $1.25 per
pound has been paid in New York for
concentrates carrying 80 per cent.
Mo. S-2. Heretofore 90 per cent has
been the usual standard. Recent
London quotations are 117s-120s
per unit for molybenite carrying 90
per cent Mo. S-2 or over.

The After-Hours
Salesman
MANY concerns lose money every night by not attract
ing the attention of the crowd* on the streets in the
evening. On the other hand, many other concerns pros
per because they employ the after-hours salesman—Elec
tric Light. You can readily pick out these stores on the
busiest thoroughfares—their show windows pouring a
brilliant flood of light upward, outward and downward,
thereby adding an attraction to the goods displayed not
obtainable in any other way. Few people can resist a
glance at the beautiful effect—most people stop and ad
mire it. The proprietors of these shops are well versed
in all modern methods which make for success in devel
oping trade. They know that the lavish use of electric
light pays, and use Edison Mazda Lamps to obtain it at
a minimum cost.
