SOillB IS AFTER
8EM50H BONANZA
Beatson'a famous mine on Latouche
island may soon bo sold to interests
represented by Charles M. Schwab,
the ex-steel trust president who tried
to break the bank at Monte Carlo.
Schwab's expert made a gumshoe
visit to the mine a short time ago
and is said to have reported 1,000,000
tons of copper ore in sight without
boring any farther into the hill to
see how much is Htill out of sight.
This news is brought by Capt. Mc
Gilvray of the steamer Bertha. A. K.
Beatson went out a month ago and
negotiations are now pending for the
sale of the property. If the deal falls
through Mr. Beatson will install a
modern machinery plant and oper
ate the mine hereafter on a vast
scale. If the Schwab interests buy
it the mine will as a matter of course
be operated to the limit. So it seems
certain now that the famous property
will henceforth have an enormous
output.
Heretofore Mr. Beatson lias worked
the mine on a modest scale because
the low grade ore coidd not be ship
ped at a profit Only the high grade
ore is shipped and a huge dump has
been made of the low grade. He
| felt that the ore was safe in the
ground and there was no need of
j getting rid of it in a hurry.
Mr. Beatson owns one-fifth of the
mine and the estate of his late cousin,
Andrew Robertson of Now York, the
remainder.
What The Bees Earned I,nst Year
Throe hundred billion bees made
enough honey last year to fill a train
of ears long enough to reach from
New York to Buffalo. At the low
wholesale rate of 10 cents a pouiu it
was worth $26,000,000, and if the 700,
000 bee keepers of the country had
worked as industriously and skillfully
as did the bees the weight of the out
put would have been three times as
great and the value $76,000,000. Not
only did the little workers contribute
that vast supply of a pure and delici
ous food product to the nation, but
as they made it they treated it anti
ceptically with formic acid, thus pre
venting impurities or decay.

TO HAVE NO CHANGE
Washington, Feb. 1—liven tho
most sanguine friends of Royal A.
Gunnison, candidate to succeed him
self as judge of tho First division of
Alaska, are about prepared to admit
that there is little chance of his de
sires being realized. Tho senate sub
committee having under considera
tion tho efforts made in behalf of and
against Gunnison lias failed to an
nounco any decision, although the
subject has boon under consideration
for more than a week.
Tho belief Is gaining ground that
action on the Gunnison question will
bo delayed until after Mr. Taft be
comes president. It is also believed
that if this bo tho ease, President
Taft will not sond Gunnison's name
to the sonato.

LITTLE ELDORADO IS
SCENE OF BIG DEALS
That minining men of tho district
are in continually increasing num
bers, turning their eyes to Little Kl
dorado, is evidenced by the various
deals reported from that creek dur
ing the past few months. Yesterday
two large transfers were put on rec
ord.
The first of these is an agreement
iu which W. D. Stewart covenants to
sell to Theodore Witte a one-fourth
interest in tho Golden and the Home
stake associations on Little Eldorado
cret'k, for the sum of $15,000, subject
to the lays On the ground. Of this
amount $.'{,000 iH to be paid down,
$♦*,000 on June 1, and §0,000 on July 1
of the present year. The Golden and
the Homestake are two Little Eldo
rado associations that conflict with
the Eldorado association.
The second transfer was a quit claim
deed executed yesterday by C.
Athonison to John Folson, J. T.
Cowles, and Herman Wobber, for a
one-third interest in the Tennessee
group on the Chatanika immediately
below the mouth of Little Eldorado,
where pay was recently struck. The
sale prieo of tho one-third interest is
$30,050, of which $5,050 is to be paid
down, $12,500 is due July 15, and $12,
500 is to bo paid Oct oLer 1, 100!).—Tan

strong contrast.
"They shook hands, and then j
Roosevelt said : 'Senator, you ought
to wear a hat like this. It's the most ^
comfortable, the most appropriate;
It's the natural headgear.'
" '1 haven't worn a hat like that,
answered Mr. Hill deliberately, 'since
I went out of the show business.' "
