ditions are checking the patient’s im
provement. Dr. Hugh Young of Johns
Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, the fore
most specialist on prostatic trouble, is
coming to Washington, and he will de

world’s peace and. to humanity’s
cause. He said he had hopes that all

REFUGEESARE
NATURALIZED
AS AUSTRIANS
I
VIENNA, Oct. 17 (by Associated
Press).—Austria, since the collapse,
has no need to fear emigration, for
in the time between November, 1918,
and July, 1919, no less than 160,000
naturalizations have taken place. The
majority of them are of residents of
Bohemia and Moravia of German an
cestry, who, rather than come under
Czech rule and be Czech citizens, have
rushed to Vienna and taken on Ger
man-Austrian citizenship.
Many others, refugees most of them,
have also swept in and applied for
citizenship as Austrians rather than
Galicians or Hungarians, because they
are of German origin. Many have
taken the move in an attempt to avoid
the confiscation of their fortunes.
SERBIA FREE
OF SMALLPOX
AND TYPHUS
i BELGRADE, Oct. 17 (by Associated
Press).—For the first time in five
years Serbia is today free of small
pox. Only three cases are reported
in the whole kingdom. The announce
ment is made by the medical staff of
the American Red Cross headquarters
in Belgrade, which a week ago made
the even more gratifying announce
ment that Serbia is once more free
of typhus, after a struggle of five
years.
To the efforts of relief workers of
half a dozen nations that rallied to
the Serbian call of distress in the
black winter of 1915 the government
freely ascribes the eradication of the
twin plagues. Chief among these
workers were those of the American
Red Cross, which is today operating
a chain of eight hospitals in Serbia.

MINING NEWS
FROM CAMPS
IN INTERIOR
■— ♦ —
There will be considerable mining
activity on Betties river, in the Koyu
kuk' country, during the coming winter,
according to Jules Oliver, veteran
pilot, who is just back from a voyage
up the Koyukuk river.
The men who have ground on Bet
ties river, Oliver says, are preparing
to do a lot of work during the winter.
They have taken out some gold al
ready, but the extent of the pay will
not be known until about the first of
the year.
Oliver was informed that about
forty men would winter on Betties
river and on Lake creek, a tributary
of Betties. At present they are en
gaged in cutting wood and making
other preparations for winter opera
tions. As soon as the snow comes
they will begin hauling in their sup
plies.
The Reliance was fortunate in find
ing a full stage of water on the last
voyage up the Koyukuk. The water
had been v^ry low, and but for the
fact that rain came when it did, it is
very doubtful if the steamer would
have been able to reach the upper
stations, which would have been a se
rious blow to the Koyukukers, inas
much as they depended upon the Re
liance to deliver sufficient supplies to
carry them through the winter.
There had been no new develop
ments in the Hog river district at the
time of the Reliance’s arrival there,
but considerable work probably will
be done during the winter by the thir
ty-five men who will continue to search
for the paystreak. Sam Dubin had
forty tons of supplies on the Reliance
for his trading post, in anticipation of
a busy season.
After a summer spent in the Chand
lar district, doing development work
on properties in which he is interested,
Jimmy Funchion left for the States,
highly pleased by the showing made
by his ground. Both he and Bert
Johnson, who spent the summer with
him, declare that the ChandlaV will
make a camp.
The great trouble in the Chandlar,
as in many Alaska camps, is the ab
sence of roads. Under present con
ditions the district is practically in
accessible—a serious obstacle to de
velopment. The two old-timers claim,
however, that the district will begin
to attract the attention of miniing men
at no distant date, and that the show
ing made by those who are pioneering
the way to future development will be
such as to convince the road commis
sion of the importance of providing
better means of transportation.
Both Funchion and Johnson are well
known in the Interior, the former hav
ing been heavily interested in placer
ground in the Fairbanks district, and
the latter engaged for many years in
the teaming business there and else
where.
Messrs. William Traut and Dolph
Smith of Valdez have leased the Home
j stake claims, in the Kantishna dis
trict, to Fred P. Davy, who was an
outgoing passenger on the Alameda,
with some fine samples of ore. The
mine is located ^about twenty-five
miles from the railroad, and a trail
will be built the coining year to haul
supplies over.
Mr. Davy stated that he would re
turn from the States in March and
would take in about two hundred tons
of supplies. The property is high
grade ore, the gold sticking out in
small nuggets all over the samples.
The property was discovered some
time ago by William Traut and Dolph
Smith.
