FIRE EMilNK IS TO
DISAPPEAR AT BOSTON
BOSTON, June »— The fire engine
is to disappear from the streets of
down-town Boston. The lively spect
acle of galloping horses with an en
gine in tow went out with the advent
of the motor drawn engine, and now
motor and steam engines are to be
forced from the city proper entirely.
A high-pressure water system, in
which only hose trucks will be used
?s assured of early operation by the
signing of contracts for three pump

SULPHUR IS LOCATED
IN MOUNTAIN CRATER ,
Located in the crater of a snow-j
capped mountain on Unalaska island,,
one of the Aleutian group , is a
large deposit of sulphur believed to
contain from 10,000 to 15,000 tons.
A claim has been filed for the loca
tion and mining operations will start
in the near future. Subterranean
heat ad a hot vapor issue from the
cracks in the rocks anil keep
the deposit free from ice and snow,
though these permonently covered
nearly all the remainder of the peak,
which is about six thousand feet
in height. Another sulphur deposit
has been discovered on Akun island,
in the same group, and a third near
Stcpovak bay, on the southern shore
of the Alaska peninsula.

“this being due to credit accruals
from prepaid development reserves
set up in the past, large tonnages
having been drawn from our reserves
upon which a portion of the mining
osts had previously been paid.”
President Hayden states that the
United States production of gold in
1919 amounted to $58,500,000, a de
crease of 40 per cent from the 1915
production of $101,000,000. The
value of production recovered by the
Alaska Gold Mines company in 1919
amounting to $1,474,000, represent
ed approximately 2*j per cent of
the total United States production.
During its five years of operation,
.he company has produced a total
of $7,503,704.
Mr. Hayden adds: ‘‘Your company
jan continue operation only so long
as advantage can be taken of ex- ^
trading ore already broken in slopes
or preparing for mining, on which
levelopment and breaking costs have
been previously paid either wholly or
;n large part, thereby recovering the
(mount invested in the development
ind preparation for mining of such
>re reserves.”

MOST POPl’LOUS CHINA
PROVINCE BANDIT RIDDEN
SHANGHAI, June 7— Szechuen,
most populous of China’s provinces
vith extensive and varied resources
and almost unlimited areas of soil of
the greatest productivity, is bandit
•idden and is tom with the strife of
jive opposing governing factions that
seemingly are beyond the control of j
chuen is supposed to pay allegiance.
This is the report brought to Shang
hai by foreigners who have recently
been traveling in tho province.
The country along all the main
highways, according to these reports,
is overrun with bands of armed out
laws and it is only possible for the
foreigners to travel these by-ways in
any degree of safety by first protec
tion and immunity from molestation
from bandit leaders who control the
various areas. When the traveller
asks for an armed guard this is pro
vided- for a consideration. This guard
must be changed when the traveler
enteis the area controlled by another
military official.
By following this procedure, trav
eler from the province say, the way
farer is ordinarily safe, but it hap
pens sometimes that the spheres of
control of the leaders overlap and
travelers who have bought protection i
in one area are at times attacked by
bandits whose leaders have not been
appeased. i
The consideration required to
provide a guard for a traveler is not
heavy, as it is said to be about 60
cents a day per guard. Ordinarily
travelers who do fall into the hands of
outlaws do not suffer bodily harm,
but it is not uncommon for native ser
vants to be murdered and cases exist
in which foreigners have been taken
and held for ransom.
Chengtu, capital of the province of
Szechuen, is reached by a journey of
about 2,500 miles up the Yangtze riv
er from Shanghai to Hankow and Ic
hang, thence through the famed
Yangtsze gorges to Chunking and
finally by a sedan chair ride of from
ten to 14 days through the high
mountains of the country that lies be
tween Chunking and Chengtu.
