Tin Ore Is Found
in Placer Deposits
The value of the tin ore found In
Home of the placer deposits has prov
en to he a source of revenue that In
former days was considered not worth
savins. Irately those whose claims
carry a deposit of this valuable metal
ore have saved it as a by-product of
their operations.
In the Hot Springs district there
was recovered about 50 tons of tin
I ~
ore from the placer claims, which ha
been shipped outside. From the larg<
quantity of ore recovered It is though
that a ledge of this mineral exists h
trie hills around the head of Sullivai
creek and a determined effort wil
soon be made by those Interested t
locate it.—Fairbanks Citizen.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.—Oolden
opportunities, based in part on the
friendliness of Chinese for Americans,
which would "half sell the goods of
! Itself," are hplllg overlooked in China
by this country, I)r. Chao-Hsln Chu.
recently appointed Chinese consul
general here, told the Home Industry
league of California at a luncheon
held here.
Dr. Chu formerly was English sec
I retary to the president of the Chinese
republic and is a graduate of Columbia
j university. He said:
"Tlio vast Import needs of the 41)0,
! 000.000 population of the Chinese re
■ public, with the tremendous quantity
of goods shipped to China for re-shlp
| mont to other countries, were supplied
by the lirltlsh and Germans to the
[greatest extent at the time of the
j outbreak of tlte groat war. Since
| then imports from those countries
have stopped. There were great stores
j of their goods in China when the war
{ began and these reserves have kept j
j the Chinese more or less supplied, j
I tut today there are practically no |
more stocks left. As a result the mer j
[chants of China arc Hooding the fac
[ lories of Japan with rush orders.
"All ranks of enlightened people in
China know and are profoundly grate
! ful for the manner in which the peo
ple of America have treated the Chin
ese. Tlie mere fact that a certain
| line of goods was produced in the
United States would more than half [
.[sell it to the buying Chinaman.

|| TRADEMARK
WASHINGTON. Oct. 26. —Regula-'
tions intended to prevent German- |
t i owned linns with factories in Swit
t I zerland from exporting their product
S} under the guise of Swiss goods after;
f the war, have been adopted by Swiss'
5 chambers of commerce in connection
t with the establishment of a new na
I tional trade mark for all Swiss ex- i
ports.
The regulations provide that use of
! the trade mark he confined to firms \
two-thirds of whose capital is Swiss ;
and to goods that actually are made j
in Switzerland exclusively by the j
Swiss. It is known that many firms J
operating in the country which are
j ostensibly Swiss, have been estab- j
lished by German capital, or acquired |
from their original owners by German I
manufacturers, in order that an ap j
, parently neutral outlet might be sc i
1 cured for German-made goods in the ■
post-war period The president of the 1
Geneva chamber of commerce is quot ; i
ed in advices received here as stating ;
■ ! that control of these will not be easy. ;
but that the chamber is alive to the !
probability of improper use of the ;
trade mark and Swiss manufacturers
are being asked to bring cases of this
kind to official notice.

TELLS OF HIS
LIFE IN NORTH
VANCOUVER, H. Oct. 26. "They
,vere so certain we were dead they
lid n’t send boats to get us." asserted
filhjalmar Stefansson. returned Can
idian Arctic explorer, several times
■ecently In telling how he and a few
ompanions often would leave their
rase with a small supply of food not
o return for days, sometimes months,
ifter their supplies had been ex
lausted.
Stefansson described how he lived
iff the Arctic land of ice and snow
is lie moved about seeking new lands,
napping his discoveries and studying
-ondittons in general. Stefansson's
idmirers have long claimed one rea
ion he is a great explorer is his ability
o live off the country as he goes.
Ither explorers, they say. must carry
mpplies.
Meat and fish were Stefansson's
uain dishes in the north. Captain j
Uexander Lane, a former member of j
he Stefansson party, in Seattle re
■ently asserted. The explorer could j
Ind seals, bear and even gulls for
’ood where an ordinary observer was
llile to see only bleak expanses of ice,
Stefansson said he would often cut
voles in the Ice, catch several tlsh
ind let them lie on the Ice. In a
ihort time polar bears would come to
;et the fish. It was then easy to get
he bear.
