PROSPECTOR ON
LONG JOURNEY
! DAWSON. Oct. 24? E. J. Knorr, a
pioneer Dawson quartz prospector, Is
back from a long trip In a northerly
direction from Dawson into the Rock
; ire. He went alter quartz and has
been gone since early in August. Mr.
Knorr took a number of pack animals
and went prepared for a thorough
investigation of the district.
On his arrival from the trip yester
day, it was reported that a great
strike had been made and that Mr.
Knorr had found in a new locality
quartz which will make anything in
placer or hard rock in the old Klon
dike look like a copper cent. Much
mystery surrounded the story, and
Mr. Knorr has since been the object
of much discussion and has been ap
proached by a great many, but he
says there is nothing in the report
other than that he had a long hard
trip and that he he got to the object
ive point when the snow was too
deep for prospecting.
UNCLE?
lONEIf LIST
? Officially there are Just teu kinds of
money In circulation in tbe United
Stales. Could you name them oil off
hand? Do you know which of those
besides gold coin are legal tender and
In what amount? It may be that "all
money looks alike to you," but there's
a difference, and Mow Is the list:
Oold coins, standard silver dollars,
subsidiary silver, gold certificates, sil
ver certificates, treasury notes (1800),
United Slates notes (greenbacks), na
tional bank notes, nickel coins and
bronze coins.
Looking upon this formidable classi
fication of I nilod States money as
made by the treasury department, It
becomes more formidable when it Is
considered from the highly technical
point of view as a lega I tender. Some
of the most Imposing of the paper cur
rency is not a legal tender at all. while,
as to the minor colus. tlioy are legal
tender In sucb small amounts as to
startle the average layman. It may be
well to recall to this layman that the
term "legal tender" owes Its slgnlfl.
canee to the fact that In payment of
debt or obligation of any kind It can
be forced upou the creditor "in full of
all demands."
Gold certificates, silver certificates
and national bank notes, of which
such enormous numbers circulate
everywhere, are not legal tender. If
you have pleuty of money and if you
have forced Jones to sue you In order
to get Judgment. Jones can turn down
every one of these bills tendered In
payraeut and force you to dig up some
thing better.
Should Jones do sucb a thing you
might conceive the Idea of fixing him
by unloading a whole lot of sliver coins
upon him. But you want to know
what you're doing there, too. for he'll
take only $10 worth of halves, quarters
and dimes, while of nickels and cop
per cents only 25 cents value Is legal
tender.
Hut as to tbe standard sliver dollar,
there s no limit ujKJn your shoveling
them out to Jones. This old "dollar
of our dads" still is the real thing in
all business transactions unless some
clause In a contract has provided oth
erwise. Jones may refuse the silver
certificate, but when you dig up the
metal dollar they go unquestioned at
their face value. And 1,000 of them
, weigh 58.0'.' pounds.
Treasury notes of the act of lSDOare
legal tender to their face value in pay
ment of all debts, public and private,
unless expressly stipulated in the con
tract
Strictly speakiug. the United States
notes or greenbacks are legal tender,
with the exception of duties on Im
ports and luterest on the public debt
Practically. however, since the resump
tion of specie payment in 1S7D. green
backs have been received freely and
without question by the government,
though the law respecting them hasn't
been changed.
W bile the gold and silver certificates
are not legal tender as between indi
viduals. both Issues are receivable for
all government dues of whatever kind
in this respect legally more acceptable
than Is the greenback.
National bank notes, while not legal
tender and not receivable for duties on
Imports, still may be paid by the gov
ernment for salaries and all debts of
the government except Interest dues
flDd In redemption of national currency.
By especial enactment no foreign
coin of auy kind or denomination shall
be a legal teuder In the United States,
so that If some time the street car con
ductor does balk at tbe chance Cana
dian dime fished front your pocket
keep cool and dig for something that
Is United States it's your move.? Chl

CORDOVA. Nov. 13? Richard S.
Ryan, Capt. W. H. Ferguson and Eng
ineer Whltten, who are promoting a
railroad from Katalla to the coal
mines, arrived here today. Ryan says:
"We have a land-locked harbor at
Controller bay and have finished the
location of surveys for the railroad.
We estimate the road will cost $50,
000,000, and to build docks, develop
the mines and provide colliers to car
ry the coal to market. This amount
has been raised by Eastern capitalists
and there will be no cessation In the
work during this winter.
"I am on my way to Washington
for a conference relative to the open
lug of the coal lands which we hope ,
to secure this winter."
E. C. Hawkins, vice president of
the Copper River and Northwestern
railroad, also leaves on the Yucatan
for the East today for a conference
with President Eccles and the stock
holders, relative to the construction
o a branch line to the coal fields.
Railroad activities all point to a be
lief that the coal land question will
be so"'ed this winter and entry will
be allowed.

Arc you willing to give up your spat
to any woman who Is standing lu a
streot oar? If you are you may wear
an A. R. Stafford true blue button. If
you wear this button you are pledged
to see that the women are seated lie

Mr. Stafford believes that If St. Louis
men follow his plan for one week they
may get into the habit. He has lived
In New York, Chicago and St. Louis,
and he says that of the three St. Louis
is the most |K>llte. but he believes thero
Is room for Improvement. He first
broached his Idea In a letter In a St.
Louis newspaper, headed "Be Seated,

Professor Donald McMillan, one of
Peary's uorth pole party who recently
arrived at New York on board the

reporters If any of the party had be
come homesick during the stay In the
arctic regions?
"Not one," ho replied. "You don't
ltnow and it is hard to explain what a
fascination there is up there. The
mystery of it attracts one. Unexplored
territory lies ahead of you, and you
cannot help feeling awed by the lm
