A Warning.
It has come to the knowledge of
members of the Civic League that
certain boys, in a spirit of meanness,
have soiled the swings, bars and other
apparatus on the children's play
ground in a foul manner, and they
desire that warning be given to the
perpetrators that a repetition of the
act will lead to arrest.

STARTING TO MINE
BERING RIVER COAL
KATALLA: W. H. Dugdell has ob
tained a permit from the Controller
Bay Coal Company, known locally as
the McDonald Company, to mine coal
In their patented claim on Bering
lake. He now has a crew of men at
the mine getting the same into shape
for actual work after which he hopes
to supply Katalla and vicinity with
Bering River coal.
In 1907 T. P. McDonald expended
$175,000 developing a mine on this
claim. Final proof was made on this
claim, together with the two adjoin
ing ones, the purchase price paid to
the government and the final receipt
for same received. After selling some
1500 tons of coal from the develop
ment, Mr. McDonald made a contract
with the Katalla Company, then con
structing a railroad at this place, to
supply them with coal. In 1908 at
the request of the Navy Department, j
Mr. McDonald furnished the battle- j
ship Nebraska with thirty, tons of coal
to make a test. The report dated
May 3, 1908, shows that the test was
made in competition with Pocahon
tas coal, the McDonald coai being
used under one set of boilers and the
Pocahontas coal under another set.
Within the elapsed time only 15.2
tons of McDonald coal was used as
against IS.7 tons of Pocahontas coal.
This resulted in the Navy sending Mr.
McDonald a contract to sign for a
supply of 1000 tons of his coal along
side the navy collier in Controller
Day at $6 per ton. Before McDon
\id received (lie blank contract, Lou
's R. Glavis got busy and served or
ders on McDonald to mine no more
:oa! at his peril. Since t hat time the
mine has been lying idle, the macliin
ary and equipment rusting away and
lie buildings falling into ruin, while
the government has been stalling.
Last year a patent was granted for
;lie claim on \jvhich the money had
been expended.
When Mr. Dugdell gets the mine
hi working order again Katalla peo
ple are hoping to get their coal for a
little less than the $21 per ton they
have had to pay for British Columbia
joal the last nine years, while mil
lions of acres of the best coal in the
world lay within 13 miles of them.
Mr. A. M. Keating, chief engineer
of field work for Alaska Petroleum
& Coal Company, is at present in the
field surveying a preliminary line for
;be railroad from the company's ter
minal on Controller Bay direct to the
coal mines. Two timber cruisers are
looking over the supply of timber,
etc., in view of using same for the
jonstruction work which will begin
in June.
Chas. Auer, acting for the under
writers, has been refused "possession
of the lumber barge, Washington,
which went ashore on Big Kayak isl
and last fall. The boys who took
charge of the wreck at that time are
still aboard.

The Rcuee Henry*.
Por 700 years every prince of the
bouse of Reuss bas been christened
Henry, with a distinguishing numeral,
but the task of identifying them is ren
dered doubly difficult owing to the ex
istence of two branches, each of which
bas a different system of numeration.
The elder line begins the numbering
anew after eucb batch of 100 Henrys.
whereas the younger line goes by the
centuries, numbering its princes as they
are born from I. upward through each
complete hundred years. The territo
ries of the two branches comprise lit
tle more than 400 square miles, divided
into Reuss-Schleiz-Gera and Reuss
Greiz. For centuries the Montenegro
of the Germanic countries, both
branches joined the German confedera
tion in 1815, but the elder line (IteuSS
Grelz) sided with' Austria in 18GG, and
the principality narrowly escaped be
ing incorporated with Prussia.—West
minster Gazette.
Spain as a Republic.
Isabella II. when thirteen years okl
was declared of age by the eortes in
184C, and after a stormy reign of twen
ty-five years was deposed by a revolu
tion which began in the fleet on Sept
18, 18(18, and was joined by the garri
son and city of Cadiz and by nearly
all of Spain during the month. A pro
visional government was established
and Marshal Serrano was made regent.
The eortes voted for a monarchy on
May 21, 18(19. and after several offers
of the throne had been refused it was
finally accepted by Amadeus, duke of
Aosta, who was proclaimed king on
Nov. 7. 1870.
After an uncomfortable reign he ab
dicated in 1873 and was succeeded by
another republic, which lasted for two
years, when Alfonso XII., son of
Queen Isabella and father of the pres
ent king, was elevated to the throne.
Artificial Indigo.
Artificial indigo owes much of its
commercial success to an accident. Al
though synthetic indigo was first pro
duced in 1870. it did not become a se
rious rival to the natural article un
til a thermometer was accidentally
broken , and the contents of the bull)
ran into the heated mixture of naph
thalene that was all too slowly being
converted into phthalic acid, the basis
of artificial indigo. It was then ob
served that the conversion became
much more rapid, and from that day
the use of mercury has played a big
part in making artificial indigo a com
mercial success. The accident occur
red after years of patient research,
and it is now the boast of chemists
that they are able to produce on a
commercial basis a compound “exactly
tbe same" as natural indigo.—London
Standard.
Frederick the Great’e Joke.
Among the embellishments which
Berlin owes to Frederick the Great the
“new pulace” is the most conspicuous.
This magnificent building was erected,
it is said, to 6how Frederick’s enemies
that bis many wars had not exhausted
his exchequer. And further to show
his contempt for the countries which
bad sought to crush him at the top of
the cupola he placed a group of three
women dancing together, the figuring
representing Catherine the Great. Ma
ria Theresa and Mme. de Pompadour.
The wrath of the two empresses was
unbounded at finding themselves de
picted in such an attitude and such
company, so Frederick was able to con
gratulate himself on a thoroughly suc
cessful joke.
Recognizing Book Lovers.
You may recognize the book lover as
soon as you glance at bis shelves,
though they may be few. Some peo
ple, especially servants, if allowed to
interfere, marshal books according to
colors, as they would like to buy them
by the yard. Not so the book lover (I
mean the man who loves books for
their contents). He is kind to his
books and. knowing they have souls,
wishes them to live happily together.
He would not. to take an extreme
case, sandwich ’‘Bradshaw’' between
•‘Stones of Venice” and “Modern Paint
ers.”—London Globe.
Tunnel*.
A New York newspaper remarks that
“ferries come and ferries go. bridges
rise and bridges fall, but tunnels last
forever.” There Is a scientific truth In
the observation. Of all works of man
earthworks, plain earth mounds sod
ded over, are about the most enduring.
A properly constructed tunnel Is essen
tially a work In earth and so almost as
permanent as the great globe Itself.—
