SECURING MONEY
IS FIRST CONCERN
Report That New York Bankers are
Forcing Subscribers to Sub
scribe to Huge Loan.
t
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—The cote
rie of New York bankers who are ar
ranging to float the three-quarter of
a billion loan for the British and
French governments, declare that the
first object to be considered is to es
tablish exchange whereby the tran
sactions of the European govern
ments may be carried on without in
terruption. They declare that the
question of using the money sub
scribed by the American bankers to
purchase munitions is of secondary
consideration.
Scores of bankers throughout the
country, especially in the eastern
states have refused to subscribe for
the foreign bonds unless guaranteed
that the money will be used only in
the purchase of ordinary articles ex
ported to Europe in times of peace.
J. J. Hill, the western railroad
man, is in New York and is report
ed to be very active in seeing the loan
to the European governments made
unconditionally. It is stated in finan
cial circles that bankers who have re
fused to enter the big financial game
have been given to understand that
they need expect no further favors
from the promoters of the huge loan.

NEGROES PROTEST
AGAINST MOVIES
Attempt to Wreck Theatre Where
-Colored Race Was Being Shown
to Disadvantage.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 21.—A
mob of negroes, numbering several
thousands, attempted to wreck a mo
vie theatre here last night when pic
tures were shown in the great race
lesson, “The Birth of a Nation.” Po
lice reserves were called to restore
order and hundreds of negroes were
clubbed by the police before the mob
dispersed.
The negroes everywhere take ex
ception to the play, which shows the
colored races in characters calculated
to make them the butt of ridicule of
their fellow citizens. The manage
ment of the theatre had been warn
ed that the negroes would not permit
the pictures to be shown without
protest and the police were prepared
to protect the theatre from being
wrecked. Many of the men battered
by the police are in hospitals.
OLDEST SHIP IS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.—The
Independence, the oldest ship in the

ment to secure the copper in the riv
ets.
Mrs. E. G. Ames received a cable
from her son, R. E. Kerman, in seat
tie, stating that a daughter had ar
rived at the Kerman home on Fri
day. It is now Grandma Ames.

THE SEARCH FOR
TIN IN AMERICA
Alaska Tin Is Made the Subject of a
Bulletin Issued by U. 8. Geo
logical Survey.
"The Search for Tin In America”
is the title of an interesting bulletin
Issued by the government on the sub
ject. The report shows that Alaska
tin ores have been shipped to Wales
and China. The report follows:
In view of the interest of an ade
quate tin supply for the United
States and the discussion af the
smelting of Bolivian ore on the At
lantic seaboard, and possibly on Pu
get Sound, the publication by the
United States geological survey of a
special bulletin on tin mining In
Alaska is opportune. It is notewor
thy, too, that specimens of stream
tin were collected by survey geolo
gists in Alaska in 1900, before this
metal was known to occur in ths
Territory. Soon after that time
prospecting for stream tin became ac
tive, and two years later a commer
cial production of tin ore was made.
The survey was also closely iden
tified with the finding of lode depos
its of tin. In 1903 two prospectors
brought to survey geologists in Alas
ka some specimens of float from
Lost river which they thought might
be tin ore. All the specimens but
one were worthless. From this one
the geologists obtained tin by smelt
ing it in a teacup in their cookstove,
after which both the geologists and
the prospectors went to Lost river
and discovered a vein of lode tin.
This lode on Lost river has since
been extensively mined. Some of the
Alaska tin ore has been reduced at
Seattle, Wash., within the last two
years.
The report just issued presents a
review of other work by the geolog
ical survey and the re-examination
of the more important tin deposits
by Geologist Henry M. Eakin.
The total tin production for the
period 1902-1914 amounted to 526
tons of metallic tin, valued at $380,
000. The Alaska tin ores have here-,
tofore been shipped for reduction to
Wales and Singapore. A copy of the
bulletin may be obtained on appli
cation to the Director, United States
Geological Survey, Washington, D.

PREPARE FOR RUSSIAN WINTER
Austro-Hungarians Busy on Over
coats and Clothing tor Men.
BUDAPEST, Sept. 21.—In conse
quence of the feverish activity on
the eastern front one gains the im
pression that the war in this theatre
is to be brought almost to a conclu
sion before winter, and with this aim
in view tremendous sacrifices are be
ing made.
In another six weeks the rainy
season begins, and in two months
the Russian winter and the suffering
it will bring will stare the armies
in the face. The devastated and
burned country will then make itself
felt. The 'Kutushov system can be
laughed at now, but not so through
out the winter. That is why every
ounce of strength is now being got
out of the armies. How they will
manage it no one knows, but they
are determined to manage it some
how.
Great efforts are being made for
a winter campaign. Last winter’s
experience proved sickness and frost
bite are dangerous enemies and in
consequence large orders have been
placed for wool-lined coats and thick
woolen boots, and all tailors and
clothing houses are busily engaged
in preparing the winter clothing for
the soldiers.

COMMISSIONER FINNIGAN
TENDERS RESIGNATION.
Judge J. J. Finnigan, U. S. Com
missioner of Chisana, accompanied
by bis wife and child, is in Valdez
to attend the term of court and does
not expect to return to the placer
camp. He has tendered his resigna
tion to Judge Brown and before
leaving the interior turned the office
over to Anthony McGettigan, and old
time Alaskan, who will make a most
competent and efficient official.
Recent arrivals from the placer
camp report that while there are a
number of claims which can be prof
itably worked under favorable condi
tions that the number is very lim
ited. It is believed that not to ex
ceed Beventy-five people will winter
in Chislna, which is reported to have
about one thousand log cabins. The
miners are getting out and leaving
j everything behind.
