H. G. STEEL, Editor and Manager
CORDOVA, ALASKA. WKDXKSDA V. DECKi.M BKD 1, 1915.
WHAT WILL THE COLONEL DO?
At once everybody asks if Col. Bryan is going to dupli
cate the political selfishness of Col. Roosevelt. Will he re
main in the ranks, where he can fight to his heart’s content;
or will ho organize another party, with himself holding the
flagstaff and endeavor once more to drive into the White
House?
Mr. Bryan’s attack on the President is fully justified, in
the minds of thousands of sound thinking citizens. Mr. Bryan
has the force of a moral argument on his side. It is an ap
pealing logic. To many he is uttering the elemental expres
sions of true Christianity. He would not be beyond' his
“rights” nor would he invade unfairly the precincts of his
opponent even if he chose to father a new party and take its
leadership, but lie would make a grievous political mistake by
doing it. The case of the other colonel ought to be a forbid
ding example to this colonel.
The people are quick to brand as a traitor any man who,
disappointed in his own party, organizes and leads another,
especially if this is done at the beginning, or in the midst of
a campaign. Such a step usually is regarded' as the token of
a great personal desire, rather than the expression of a public

ON WITH THE GAME.
Unrest is abroad in the north land, grumblings are heard
in the street and lnutterings of distant thunder disturb the
rest of the office holder.
Sure, this is an editorial on politics.
What would life be without politics!
We have it (at the cost of a cent a word cable tolls) that
the folks at Ruby only smile when politics is mentioned.
Information is at hand that Bunnell is to run for delegate
(at the cost of more tolls), and the same wire brings informa
tion that Wickersham is en route to Washington to see what
he can do towards worming a little legislation through the
upper and lower houses for the benefit of his constituents.
Seward is trying to land the Democratic convention.
Tin* governor is accused of being unloval to his fellow
J)< nnoerats.
The Republicans at Nome have formed a new organizin'
tion and promise to make themselves felt in loud tones, to the
accompaniment of quaking knees among Democratic office
holders.
The “ins” are figuring up schemes to keep the “outs”
from getting in, and the “outs” have a club (stuffed or other
wise) in pickle for tl.e “ins.”
It’s a great game; fact is, it’s the real all-American game,
for it goes on forever, while baseball has to take a back seat
to football once every yeaf.
It uses up a lot of surplus energy and keeps a lot of
money in circulation.—Seward Post.

ANTIMONY MINING A NEW INDUSTRY.
The mining of antimony is a new industry in Alaska.
Although it lias been known for several years that Alaska had
antimony deposits, none has been produced in commercial
quantities until the present year. During the season several
substantial shipments of this mineral have been made from
Fairbanks and Nome districts, and a discovery of antimony
ore was recently reported near Nizina. The production is
said to have been stimulated by the increased' demand for it
caused by the European war. Another effect of the demand
has been the erection of an antimony smelter at Van Asselt,
a Seattle suburb. Antimony is found in nature in the metal
lic state, but its chief commercial source is stibnite, a sulphite
of antimony. Stibnite was known in very early times. The
paint used by Jezebel, the notorious wife of Aliab, the Jewish
king, was finely ground stibnite, and it was largely used by
the women of the East for many centuries for painting the
eyebrows and eyelashes and giving luster to the eyes. The
Arabs called it al-ko-hol, with which we may compare alcohol,
also an invention of an Arabian chemist. The origin of the
word antimony is not known. There is a legend that certain
monks were poisoned by it, and that the name is derived from
anti (against), and moine (a monk); so that the word would
mean “monk’s bane,” or something of that sort. The deri
vation, however, is purely fanciful. It is a bluish white, brit
tle, crystalline metal, and forms valuable alloys with other
metals, and this is its most important use in the arts. Type'
metal is an alloy of lead, antimony and tin, with sometimes a
little copper. The tin adds toughness, while the antimony
gives hardness and causes the Alloy to expand upon solidify
ing, giving an accurate cast to the letter.
