NORTHERN DRUG CO.’S WINDOW |
CAUSES FAVORABLE COMMENT.
One of the most attractive display
windows to be seen anywhere Is at
the Northern Drug Company, and
much credit is due F. L. Walt for the
artistic taste shown. He is compet
ing for a prize offered by the "Oet
It" corn cure, and unless we are mis
taken, Mr. Walt will be suitably re
warded for his efforts. The idea is
entirely original with him and the
window must be seen to be appreci
ated.

TO BELGIAN PEOPLE.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug. 4
—A commission of American doctors
has been visiting the Brussels hospi
tals investigating whether an increase
of the Belgian population's bread ra

UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON,
Aug. 4. — Solidified sinoke and crys
talled gold, and a lot of minerals that

Seattle. The minerals are typical of
Colorado's mineral resources.

OUTPUT TO BE
Mining Inspector William T. Ma
loney, who is working In the Fair
banks and Tolovana section this sum
: mer, has made his quarterly report to
tlovernor J. F. A. Strong. According
to the report the number of under
ground placer workings in the Fair
banks section has materially de
creased, but several rich spots have
been struck In that region on many
of the creeks, which will bring the
average yield up to the figures of last
year. It is expected that the output
from the Fairbanks and Tolovana sec
tion will exceed that of last year on
account of the Increased production
from the Tolovana.
Lode operations in that section
have this summer been ronfined to
antimony mining and over 1.000 tons
of that ore will be shipped from there
during the summer. Of the ten quartz
mills in the section, only one is being
operated, and that only Intermittently.
Several small outfits are working
on tungsten lodes now. Ott and part
ners shipped 1,660 pounds of the ore
by parcels post in March, but it was
delayed In delivery until June, when
the price had dropped from $65 per
100 pounds to $25. Ott and partners
claim they had contracts for May de
livery of the ore at the price of $65,
and that the delay and their loss was i
! entirely due to the negligence of the I
' postal authorities, says Mr. Maloney I
I In his report.
