NEWSBOY CLEAN-UP
Brick Valued at $3,303 Is Result of Month's
Run at Fairbanks Quartz Property
That the resultant brick from a month’s
mill run at the Newsboy mine is valued at
$8,303 is the report received from Leslie M.
Drury, who is now superintendent of oper
ations going on there, and who arrived in
Fairbanks October 3 with the brick in
charge, says the News-Miner. With him also
came Louis Golden, president of the com
pany, who for some time past has been
acting as manager.
The brick, which is the result of the
mill run of 391 tons of Newsboy ore, weighs
4S1.35 ounces. The assay value of the gold
from the mine is $17.25, which makes a
grand total for the clean-up of the above
named amount. The average value of the
rock per ton, therefore, shows itself to be
about $21.25.
Most of the ere included in the mill run
from which the clean-up was made came
from the big stope in the east end of the
150-foot level of the Newsboy. Part of
it also came from the west end, but it
is in the opposite end that most of the
work has been done. It is stated that
there are now over 300 tons of ore lying
in the stopes on the 150-foot level ready to
be hoisted and milled, and that the work
is being pushed as rapidly as possible.

Once You Have Tried, You Will Always Trade With
REFUND ORDERED
AFTER MANY MONTHS
- I
At the office of the Iditarod wireless
telegraph station is S41.20. It belongs to
the subscribers to a fund that was raised
in the first week of March, 1912, to in
quire of the American consul in Bolivia
as to the authenticity of the reported strike
in the placer gold fields of that country
It is evident that the consul did not re
ceive the inquiry, or if he did, he did not
deem an answer necessary, consequently
none has been received.
It has taken the telegraph officials about
20 months to satisfy themselves that a re
ply was not forthcoming, so they ordered
a refund of the amount stated above.
As many of the subscribers to the fund
have left the camp, the question that now
presents itself is, what shall be done with
the money?
CASH IN VOUR CHECKS
The deputy clerk of the court has small
checks for the following persons, which he
would like to deliver. Anyone knowing the

Eugene Brandt, Lem Baldwin, Henry
Brandt, F. L. Goodwin. R. J. Sommers.

SECOND BENEFIT
DANCE TONIGHT
The second benefit dance for the gym
nasium fund will be held at A. B. hall this
evening, and every indication points to a
successful affair. The dance is under the
ab.e management of a committee composed
of Claude Baker, Joe H. Smith and Cyril
P. Wood, who have taken great pains in
arranging the details, and all who attend,
whether they be strangers or not, are as
sured of having a j leasant evening. The
tickets have been placed at the modest
price of S3, which includes dainty and
wholesome refreshments.
It is confidently expected that the re
ceipts of this function will be enough to
clear the remaining indebtedness on the
gymnasium paraphernalia.
KAISER’S LOVE OF PEACE
DUE TO CHRISTIANITY
In connection with the recent jubilee of
the kaiser, the Lorrain of Metz publishes a
rather curious document dealing with the
emperor’s religious sentiments.
The kaiser’s love of peace, which was ;
reativ vaunted during the celebration, is
derived from his responsibilities as a Chrsi
‘ian, according to the Metz newspaper. He
has claimed to be the “valet of God, king ,
by the grace of God and charged by Him [
with grave duties and heavy responsibili- I
ties.”
In a speech on May 15, 1890, the kaiser
siuu:
'‘Son of the Hohenzollerns, I have accept
ed the crown as a gift from heaven, with
all the duties which go with it. That is
the conviction and the principle which shall
l.vays ins] ire my work and my govern
ment.”
At Jerusalem the kaiser made what he
jculed a “vow to Christ crucified and res
rrected,” in which he said:
“The same a. 2.000 years ago, when the
. iy went from here throughout the length
. mi breadth of the land, ‘Peace on earth,’
! bus I will address to the entire world the
! n v it at ion which comes from the depth of
ur hearts ‘Peace, good will toward men.’
We will seek neither glory, n r power, nor
onnrs. m r other good things, but only the
ne supreme good the salvation of our
il-. In this spirit I renew the vow of
.:y ancestors. I and my house will con
.rm to the will of God.”
It is a well known fact that the kaiser
laciices whai he preaches, and his Chris
ian lo me life can serve as an example
;> the German people. There are numer
:s other in.-lances of the emperor’s reli
; .. .-entiment to be cited, and he hardly
akes a speech in'which some religious ref
rence is not found. One little episode will
.dice.
Some years ago the kaiser was discuss
:!a pa.-sage of the New Testament with
i university professor. The passage was:
I am the root of the vine; you are the
-ranches.” The professor was endeavoring
to deny the divinity of Christ and the
kaiser said to him:
“Have you ever said to your students,
T am the root of the vine; you are the
branches’?”
“No, sire.” was the reply.
“Do you think that any professor before
your time has spoken thus?”
“No, sire.”
“Do you think that in the future pro
lessors will so speak to those grouped at
he foot of their chairs?”
“Assuredly, no.”
“Well then, since never has a master
spoken nor can he speak as Christ has '
■poken, I believe not only that Christ was
a real man but also a real God.” The pro
fessor made no reply.
We Don’t Quite Get You, Percy.
Erroneous information, supposedly com
ing from a reliable source, gave out re

PLENTY SPURT
AT GYMNASIUM
Last Wednesday was the first reguL.r
practice at the A B. gymnasium, although
a good many of the athletic young men
ha\e been giving the new paraphernalia a
-,ood deal of work nearly every night since
it was installed. About 20 members were
on the floor in regulation athletic cos
tumes, and for two or three hours frol
icked about the arena, playing basketball
and doing wonderful feats on the horizontal
and paridkl bars, the rings, Indian clubs,
dumbbe.ls, etc.
ATEST DEVEVLOPMENTS IN
AUTOMOBILE MYSTERY
New York. Oct. 13. —Herman Oelrichs.
son of the late merchant prince, who was
arrested and released under bond, charged
•eing the person who attacked Miss
ngleton in a taxicab some days ago, ac
cording to the police, passed himself off as
I). M. Claghorn of Tacoma in his acquaint
ance with Miss Singleton. Claghorn was a
fellow student of Oelrichs at Columbia uni
versity last year, but is now in Tacoma.
The police are searching for the third
arty in the machine at the time of the
affray, a member of the Delta Psi frater
nity, of which Oelrichs is a member.
Miss Singleton was offered $5,000, it is
alleged, by Oelrichs, who was arrested in
her presence by the detectives.
The detective who investigated the
smashing of Oelrichs' automobile and re
ported Miss Singleton injured has been sus
pended by the police commissioner, and
there is much speculation as to the reason.

FRENCH CENTENARIAN
SAW GREAT NAPOLEON
Paris. Aug 30. Pierre Fchomelroy, who
celebrated his 1 (:61h birthday on Monday,
'! as written to the state attorney asking for
Tg:d r-sistar.ce against his landlord on the '
ground tha’ the apartment which he rents
it r 27.3 francs a year is so damp that his
health lias suffered. He claims 5,000 francs
TFG centenarian was born in 1S07. He
is the son of a grenadier in the Imperial
Guards. He saw Napoleon at Saint Cloud
and later accompanied his father to St.
Helena, to which place the former bore
secret messages from the empress to Na
poleon. He remembers playing with Na
poleon's son and .-till lias a dell which be
longed to “L’Aig! m” H was a dresser a*
the opera until he was 90 years old, when
he retired. He lost his savings in specula
tion and now lives on the oil cents a day
allowed him by the Assistance Publique.
None of the many interviews with
Schomelroy printed recently give documen
tary proof of his age. It is recalled that
the census of 1806 gave the names of three
centenarians then living in Paris. Investi
gation showed that none of them was a
centenarian. The government drew up a
list of centenarians in France in 18SC. The
first return was 1ST Attempts at verifica
tion of the ag^s of these people reduced the
number to 83. Further and more critical
investigation brought the figures down
to 16.
BIG MAIL ARRIVED
LAST WEDNESDAY
A big mail arrived last Wednesday after
noon, something like 60U pounds. Earl
Byers, who left here in the morning of
that day with the outgoing mail, met
Carrier Griffis at the Halfway roadhouse
with the big incoming mail, so they di
vided the load anad came to Iditarod. The
big fall of snow during the morning made
a very heavy trail.
