A letter frorp Ooppvr river says
that. for the past two weeks the!
work on the Taznuna and Copper

owing to the terrible winds. A
snow plow was used on the river,
but the wind would fill the trail so
quickly that smoll loads had to be
moved In fair weather the Ester*
ly outfit would make an average of
four miles a day with everything.
So far three horses have broxen
through the ice but were rescued
without being injured. Goodletaw
says there has been high winds all
winter, “Never see first time be
fore.”

According to seismographical in
vestigations recently made by Prof.
Milne, there is a belt in the crust
of the earth which is faulty and
along which very severe earth
quake shocks may beexptcteoat
any time. The belt runs from
Central America tjp through Ca'i*
forma, and swings around in a
semicircle along the coast of Alas
ka and the Orient to the Philip
pines. Most of the line runs in
the ocean, hut it is mapped as
striking western Ahiska nod in*
eluding all the Aleutian islands.
Most of th* recent severe quakes
have been in this belt, and less
than a month ago there was a very
severe shock at Unalaska, accom
panied by a volcanic eruption It
is to investigate this matter further
that scientific men will visit Una
laska this summer.
The Copper Queen mine, of Bis
bee, Arizona, produced 96,481,984
pounds of copper in 1906. It em
ploys 2400 men, working three
shifts.
