A Kit: YEAH FOR ALASKA
T*?.« increase in the output of
the Alaska-Gastiueau mine from ap
proximately 4,000 to approximately
12,000 tons of gold ore is merely
an Illustration of the tremendous
expansion 'hat Is certain to occur
la Alaska during 1916.
The Treadwell was the first of
the great low-gTade ore properties
to bo developed In this "Witwater
strand of America.-' it has pro
duce-' more than $50,000,000 in
gold—about seven times the cost
of the entire territory. Alaska-Gas
tineau is the second. Alaska Ju
neau, which began laying tile foun
dation for another big plant last
Monday, will be the third.
While these three projects are
o' iiriaiary importance because of
the extent of their operations, they
are !n uumbt.- insignificant as com
pared with the total development
projects now on foot in the north
ern territory. Of theso smaller
propositions, several will commence
prroduciug during 1910 and millions
will be spent on the others with a
view to taking out ore in the aaar
future.
The development of the Juneau
mineral deposits is of particular iu
terc-s' to the territory and to
Seattle because sixty rcr cent of
the aggregate yield is expended on
labor ;'loue. The ore bodies, while
of lyjv grades, are of enormous
extent and engineers estimate that
they will be in operation several
decades hence.
The year 1916 opens, for Alaska,
under peculiarly auspicious circum
stance;. and '.here b no reason to
doubt the prediction that it will
usher in the great period of develop
ment of which residents of the ter
ritory long nave dreamed.—Seattle
Times.

Against Allies.
The British press is stirred over the
report from German sources that Karl
Ncofelil. the German trailer and trav
cler, well known lu the near east, has
been trying to luCuence the Mohaw
uieduu tribes In Persia and Arabia
against the allies. Neufeld was res
cued from prison by I.ord Kitchener
and the British troops at Omdunuan in
September. 1S08. l'or ten years he had |
lain in a mahdlst Jail, subjected to hor
rible tortures, according to his own
account. In Ills book describing his
adventures Neufeld tells how on being
thrown into prison three sets of Iron
shackles were attached to his feet and
rings and chains fastened about his
Pboto by American Preaa Association.

neck. lie was often flogged, and on
one occasion he received 500 lashes.
From these horrors he was saved by
tbo British and returned to freedom.
During his imprisonment Xeufeld
gained n fluent knowledge of Arabic
and an Intimacy with Mohammedan
life and customs known to few whites,
lie made pilgrimages In native guise
both to Medina and Mecca. It was at
Medina that his identity was suspect
ed, and be was made to take an oath
that he was a Mussulman.
At this time, it is declared. N'eufeld
did a service to his country that
brought its reward in this war. He
spread the belief umong the Ignorant
Mohammedan populace that there
were many Mohammedans in Ger
many.
Tho Bird'i Tail.
In his "Story of the Birds" James
Newton Baskett savs: To a slight ex
tent in some birds the tall may be used
as a rudder, but where the wing Is
perfected turning is effected with a
very scant taiL Tho use of the tall
always has more reference to the up
and down movements than to the lat
eral. It comes Into play in nllghtlug
(as a brake) or In rising (as a kitelike
surface) and is used dexterously by
the soaring birds in balancing them
selves agalust varying currents of air.
