He toM them that he was a believer
in ciril service pensions; that he
thought a person who had servei the
government in times of peace was as
much entitled to be taken care of,
if disabled, as the soldier who serv

He believed that pensions should be

time in the service and that they
should be retired on a |?#t>sion when
they arrived at an age which pr??

W. J. Rledsoo is one mining man !
that Is always on the job. Whenev
er he takes an outing he carries a
prospector's pick along with him and
that Is the reason he discovered a
twenty foot ledge of white marble
last Sunday while out in the hill*
sbout two and a half miles from !
Skagway
Specimens of the marble, which a<
casual examination appears to be pe
feet, are on exhibition at the Dally
Alaskan office, and samples are now
being tested to determine its value.
Mr. Hledsoe says that he has un
covered only a few feet of the out
cropping but that the indications
point to a vein at leas twenty feet
in width He has staked the pro
perty and will make an effort to de
velop It, if the test shows it to be
of commercial value
