Temperance by Telepathy
Here is a veracious tale which comes
ou„ of New York City and which, ad
mitting that it be true, shows a new
direction in which temperance work
can be extended, with the largest pos
sible amount of benetit and the smal
lest possible amount of friction and
trouble. According to the story,
v which must be accepted beyond ques
tion by all believers in new thought,
200 women, holding a temperance
meeting united in directing their
thoughts and psychic impulses upon
the patrons at the bar at a neighbor
ing saloon. The result, vouched for
in full by the newspapers which pub
lish this remarkable story, was that
all the patrons present at the bar in
the saloon which was the point of
psychic attack, promptly lost their
thirst, and. after hanging around
sheepishly for a time, tiled out with
unirrigated throats. The experiment
was an unqualified success.—P.-I.

Looking For Investments
Dawson -.Justice Dugas, senior judge
of the Yukon territorial and supreme
court who lias returned from London,
Paris, Ottawa anil other large cities,1
where he spent the last four months,
says there is plenty of money in Eu
rope for investment, particularly j
French money, hut that the holders
first must he convinced that, the propo- t
sit ions offered are gilt edged.
••The rate of interest desired in Euro
pean investments by the investor,"
says the judge, ‘‘usually is 3 per cent.
“So many of the French investors
have been unlucky that they hesitate
in coming into the \ ukon. I admon
ished them on lines which they surely
"houlil not forget, emphasizing that j
they should be careful not only about I
the value of the ground to be exploited
but also about the class of managers
the\ M*lect and their methods of man
agement. I tried to impress them j
with the fact that this i> the only way !
to make an.' investments here with
any advantage, and pointed out the
fact ; hat too often men with no expo
perien.-e or ability in mining have.
boon >ent here to manage large in
vestnunt* in mining.
“Tin* direction of t he work has been |
too much in the hands of men outside
tb*' torritory. This is a second serious
detect in the old methods. The work
or the direction of the same should be
1, ft more to those residing in the terri
tory, close to the properties, who,
have knowledge of mines and the
methods of working them and supply
ing what i> bt st needed for them.
Shipping Ore From Fllamar
All tin* ore bins at Kllamar are filled
with ore. which the Edith i" expected
to take out soon. Thirteen men are
now employed by Superintendent Mid
dlekamp. in development work and in-]
cidentally in extracting ore. J he
work is along a ledge and ore is taken
out steadily. This is being done be
tween the fourth a nil fifth levels. A
• iiamomt drill " ill he put to work soon j
to probe for an ore body which is be
lieved to lie a short distance from the j
present operations. - Valdez Pros*
peetor.
Making Progress
A great deal of new work started on
the ground" of tin* Alaska-N ukon*Pa
cific exposition last week. The emer
gency hospital was handed over to the
exposition authorities. It is now up to
the transportation companies to deliv
er the furnishings ordered from New
York. As soon as this is done ihe j
hospital will be furnished under the 1
supervision of Dr. Rininger, the expo
sition medical director, and the system
will be put in immediate commission.
Work on the tire hall and the mines
and fisheries buildings has proceeded
as far as the clearing of the sites and !
getting the posts in for the founda-j
tions. The manufactures, the agricul
ture, the mines and fisheries form a |
perfect architectural unit, and the j
tinishing of these in about three or
four months " ill mark a big step
| towards the completion of the exposi
; ion.— P. I.
Rushing the Work
Cordova claims to have t>00 men en
gaged in ballasting track, excavating
'cuts, putting in sidetracks and j
j switches, driving piles and establish
ing the grade on the Copper River and
Northwestern railroad. An electric
light plant is to be erected at Power
creek about six miles from the town,
and near the head of Cordova bay. A
sawmill will probob]y be built and op
erated in the same place.
We have founded an institution in
which the people can deposit their
money with a feeling of the utmost
confidence and safety.

Plover Eggs Excite London
London.-—Carefully packed in a bran
tilled box, two little eggs, pear-shaped
and of a beautiful seagreen color,
specked with brown, arrived in Lon
don recently. They were the first
plover’s eggs of the season, the eggs
that are accounted one of the greatest
delicacies in the world.
“The first eggs often sell for as
much as 13s. or 14s. each,” said a deal
er. “Some of them are always sent to
the king, wherever he is. Just about
the time when the first plover’s eggs
are expected special men are sent out
to search in the districts where they
may be found. Directly a searcher
finds an egg he makes for the local
agent of a London firm and the news is
telegraphed to town. Sometimes it
happens that a farm laborer casually
discovers the first egg.”
