FAMOUS MALAMUTES
PASS WITH PROGRESS
NENANA, Alaska, Aug. 28.—The
malamute dog, for many years the
famed steed of the north, apparently
is destined to go.
With the coming of the railroads,
dog teams were driven farther into
the interior. And now the preval
ence of reindeer herds and the
growth of the market garden and
the town-lot garden have caused re
strictions to be drawn around the
malamute until he is coming to be
classed a nuisance in the more set
| tied parts of southeastern Alaska.
| The malamute had his genesis in
the wolves and wild dogs of the
north. All fowls and quadrupeds
were his common prey. But when,
in more modern days, a malamute
began pulling down reindeer and
the livestock of farmers, he was
treated as a wolf and hunted down.
Owing to the light demand for
! dogs, it is difficult to procure pure
j bred specimens south of the Yukon,
! and the one-time aristocrat of the
i Arctic is becoming mixed with the
blood of so many mongrels that
he has almost lost his identity.

ELLSWORTH’S
METEOR SEARCH
BRINGS REWARD
PRESCOTT ,Ariz., Aug. 27.—Min-j
ing men, who for months have been |
drilling in the vicinity of Meteor i
Mountain , near Flagstaff, in this
State, with the hopes of reaching a
giant meteor which, in its fall from
the heavens centuries ago, is sup
posed to have caused a tremendous
crater where the drills are located,
recently struck the surface of the
meteor at a depth of 1,40*4 feet,
they declare, the surface being so
hard that the drill was ground to
pieces and the derick partly wreck
ed.
Legend and speculation, romance
and theory long have been woven
into the discussions of Meteor Moun
tain. Scientists have disputed over
the origin of the crater at its base
where the drills are set, some claim
I ing the depression was caused byt
the diagonal fall of a huge meteor
I which gouged the erth into a con
! tinuous bank around the place where
it penetrated the ground; while
others assert as positively that the
whole thing was caused by a bfow
out of gases.
Fragments of meteoric formation
found around the crater, however,
throw weight toward the first the
ory, and the fact that platinum has
i been found in these fragments lends
I ‘•peed to +he drills. Moreover ,it is
estimated that more than one and a
j half pounds of radium, of a market
j value of $100,000 a gram, will be
j found in the meteor.
Mining operations, it is said, will
be changed within a few weeks, the
drilling to be discontinued an d a
tunnel to be run to the meteor. Me
teor Mountain is not, properly, a
nr our tain at all. It is only 200 feet
! high and is a hugh bowd, 600 feet
deep, '■ he bottom containing about
j forty acres.
