Colonel p. F. Millard, of Valdez, re
turned on (he train ;>esterday from
a trip to the interior, where he, in
company with A. H. McNeer and J. L.
Fozard. a mining engineer of the Alas
br.-Gastineau Mining Co., inspected
some copper properties which he has
on Rainey creek, about twelve miles
west of Yosts.
Colonel Millard reports the show
ing on the property as far as they
were able to go with the examination
fts greater than his expectations. It
will require about thirty days more
to complete the examination, and Mc
Neer and Fozard will remain until the
work is finished.
The weather in the interior during
part of the trip, according to Colonel
Millard, was the hottest he had ever
seen in Alaska. At times the thermo
meter stood at 96 in the shade, which,
he asserts, was so warm that work
a *
was impossible. ”
Colonel Millard will take the first
boat to Valdez, having been called out
on business matters which could not
be put off.

HIGH EFFICIENCY.
PARTS, June 26. — The number of
shots that can be fired from one of
the French 3-inch Runs beforo it is
worn out has, in at least one instance,
been found to be ns high as 18,830,
according to the actual count kept by
a young artilleryman who has sent
these figures in from the front. While
the three-incher was known to be a
robust cannon, the theoretical esti
mate before the war was that a thou
sand shots would probably be the
limit of its efficiency.

Accustomed as Koreans are to the at
tacks of wild animals In the moun
tains, they have been astonished toi
learn that during the last year 12nj
people were killed by beasts and
that over 3,000 domestic animals were
either killed or injured. This havoc
was wrought by tigers, leopards,
bears nnd Korean wolves, but It wasj
the wolf, according to official statls-1
tics that did the greatest amount of
harm. It Is estimated that these fe-1
roc Ions creatures slew 113 persons I
and injured 50, besides killing or in
juring 517 cattle and 1,519 other do
mestic animals.
The Korean wolf, which is official
ly known as the neuktaf, Is a power
ful animal of the canine species, s
little larger hut longer and thinner!
than the native Korean dog. In color;
It I* hrown and gray. It possesses j
piercing eyes and in face of danger j
or while capturing prey shows won-1
derfnl agility, hiding Itself In under
brush, jumping over high riffs orj
swiftly swimming across rivers and!
lakes. In attacking a pony or cow j
it will leap upon the victim’s flank!
and kill instantly by tearing open'
some vital part. In attacking a man,
it will follow him for a time and oc-’
caslonally leap over his head, seek-j
ing to unnerve him and cause him to;
fall to (he ground, when it will im-'
mediately attack and kill. Oftentimes
it will summon its mates to assist in.
attacking. There are instances of
where a wolf has carried off a big
boy for a considerable distance or!
where il has jumped over a high wall
with a pig in its mouth.
The Korean authorities are exert
ing every effort to exterminate the!
animal, and rewards are offered for
