WILL LOOK AFTER
INTERESTS Of ALASKANS
Newman and Rosenthal, both form
er Alaskans, have embarked in the
mines and mining business at Seattle
and in a circular letter just received
here they say.
We wish to inform you that we have
opened official headquarters for all
Alaskans: A place where miners can
list their properties, and where capital
can look when seeking mining invest
ments. Our office is in direct charge
of high-class men, thoroughly conver
sant with Alaska, a part of whose duty
it is to give suggestions and assist
ance to people with propositions of
merit,—the lone prospector as well as
the large corporation.
We aim to have competent engin
eers in every district of Alaska to se
cure data and keep in touch with the
legitimate miner who is trying to open
his property. Should he have a
worthy property and need financial
assistance, our engineers will be in a
position to do business with him.

AL. WASN'T FAMILIAR
WITH CAFETERIA SERVICE
Al. Lund, the well-known Alaskan
contractor, after a two months’ visit
to California and Washington cities,
was a returning northern passenger
on t*ie last trip of the steamship Ad
miral Evans. This was Mr. Lund’s
first trip out in 21 years, and he says
it will be his last, unless It should be
on very important business. Nearly
22 years ago Mr. Lund was sent hy a
Russians trading company to con
struct some buildings at Golivan bay,
and each year he drifted from camp
to camp, engaged in contracting and
mining. lie was in nearly all the new
■strikes nnd stampedes throughout the
territory, and finally settled in Cor
dova, which town he lovingly speaks
of as "home." After an absence of
over 21 years from the states Al. found
a number of changes and tells of sev
eral amusing incidents on himself, one
of which occurred in a San Francisco
cafeteria. Feeling hungry about 1
o’clock on the first day of his arrival
at the Golden Gate, he drifted into a
large cafeteria, and of course, went
into the main dining room and seated
himself . After waiting a few minutes
Al. began to get Impatient, and on
looking around and observing the
covert smiles of the many patrons, he
began to think he was purposely j
j neglected and his "Irish"' stnrted to
rise. When two or three minutes
elapsed and still no waiter appeared,
he was fighting mad, and happening
'o spy the proprietor, who was a'
pasty faced disciple of the sons of,
Israel, and could not appreciate a joke,
Al. exclaimed: “What's the reason
I can’t get served here? Ain’t Alaskn
money any good down here?”—Alas

GIVES BIRTH TO TWO CHILDREN
WITHIN TWO MONTHS
The attention of medical men is at
tracted to Mendota, 111., where it is
thought to be without precendent, is
the remarkable case of Mrs. A. M.
Snyder, of Mendota, who gave birth
to children five weeks apart.
The first baby, a five-pound boy,
was born the latter part of October.
The second child, born last week,
weighed seven pounds, and is also a
boy.
Ordinarily, when twins are born on
separate days, one or the other dies
soon after birth. On this instance
both the infants are in good health
and give promise of surviving.
Surgeons say there is no case on
record which approaches this.
