C Aug. 8.--It may be there after all. John Armstrong Cbaloner of Merry Mills, Cobham, Va., recently made public a mes- sage that he claims was received from a friend in hell. The message purports to be from Thomas Jeffer- son Miller, an ex-Confederate non- commissioned naval officer, a prom- inent member of the Manhattan club of New York and a personal friend of Chaloner during the former's life- time. Cbaloner was in bed at the time, and be took his pencil as he was directed in his subconscious state and wrote out the message, which covers sixteen pages of typewritten paper. Chaloner communicated this mes- sage to a number of newspaper men who met him by appointment in Alexandria tonight. "New Testament True/' is Message. Here are some of the extracts from the message from Miller: "The New Testament is literally, and absolutely true. Jesus Christ was not lying when He spoke of hell fire. I have had a very mild torture compared to many other persons in my walk of life, largely because I happened to be a truthful and mod- erately honest man by nature, and also largely because I had my share hell while on earth in being a New Yorker of social standing but no money. "His satanic majesty has been graciously pleased to permit me to communicate with you tonight. 1 am permitted to exercise what you are pleased to term your ex-faculty to an unlimited extent in a strictly limited sphere of information. I am standing against a wall looking to- ward the fiery throne. "Upon said throne sits satan. His features are precisely those of Napoleon Bonaparte at the apex of his power. He is dressed precisely in the costume of the Michael Angelo statue entitled "The Thinker," placed over the tomb of the Medici in Flor- ence. The hall of audience is miles long, miles wide and miles high. S Ions of Dollars Iness are transacted every enough to give * "fisach pac; on individual attention. American Manufacturers Are Almost Wholly fteptodent On Foreign Mines For Raw Malarial. TIN IS MINED IN ALASKA Not 8© Bad, ft Assurance. "The hall is of rubies. My brace of bloodhounds outside are strongly giving tongue, Might I ask if they subconsciously know what you are writing. Now, my dear Archie (Chal- oner), may you permit me to remind you of your bargain not to jeer at my communications--(1 apologise). "Satan is giving audience to the embassy from the kingdom of sin, which kingdom is contiguous to hell, and between which kingdom and hell there is practically a perpetual wail. The occasion is a rumor that the millennium is' about to begin. "Ton must know that things are far better down here in hell than is generally supposed, Nobody need try to get to heaven if he or she does not care for that sort of thing. There is a world prepared for men and women of the world. This is known a* the underworld. .I_^L_--X-^-------- "It is anjl ever will remain more or less modern. There 1* no wool here, for before a person is allowed to make bis or her choice as to which goal they aim for, heaven, the underworld* bell or the kingdom of sin, he or she most, so to speak, pay the piper.**, £^f?v^«^v'■ --J'^/* -.' The United States uses between 40 and 60 per cent of the world's produc- tion of tin, yet American manufactur- ers are almost wholly dependent upon foreign mines for their supply of raw material. Alaska may make up a very small part of this deficiency, accord- ing to a report on the "Tin Resources of Alaska" by Frank L. Hess, recently published as Bulletin 520-B by the United States Geological Survey. Tin was first discovered In Alaska on Buhner creek, Seward peninsula, In 1900. The next year stream tin was found on Buck creek, which la sepa- rated from Buhner creek by a low di- vide. In 1903 tin oxide was found on Cassiterlte creek, a tributary of Lost River, twenty miles from Buck creek and about 100 miles northwest of Nome. Later discoveries of stream tin were made at several other places in the territory. Large Nuggets Found. Of the tin placers none have shown much importance except those of Buck creek. In the gravel of the creek bed the content of stream tin carrying about 65 per cent metallic tin has been found to be as high as 400 pounds per cubic yard in rich spots, though the average is under thirty pounds. In figures furnished the Geological Sur- vey, the gold in the gravels has been estimated at forty cents per cubic yard, at $60 per ton of stream tin, and at other amounts. Nuggets of gold val- ued at $20 or more have been found. When compared with the Australian and Malayan gravels, where the "black tin" content Is in many places from 1% to 5 pounds per cubic yard, the gravels of Buck creek appear very rich, but the climate makes the condi- tions hard for placer working. Season Is Short. The season is short, little or noth- ing can be done before June 15, and the freeze-up is apt to come by Septem- ber 15. There are many storms, with cold, heavy rains, but, on the other hand, the country Is very healthful. A dredge working In this district last year from September 10 to October 15 saved ninety-two tons of stream tin averaging 66 per cent tin, or an eanfc valent of 101 tons carrying 60 per cent tin, and sold for $52,000. Order hWich Went Into Effect Thursday Regarding Us of General Delhrjwy Causes Stir. SPEEDERS AARE8TEO^ FAILS TO MEET YOUNC WOMAN; IS NOW LOST Because frank Orimse failed to be at the right station to meet his cousin, Miss Emily Racowski, a pretty 18-year-old Milwaukee girl, he missed her and nothing has been heard since of the young woman. The police have been asked to help locate her. Miss Racowski left Milwaukee yes- terday morning and her cousin was to meet her on her arrival in this city. Orimse went to the Central street station of the Milwaukee line. When the girl failed to get off of the car he decided to wait until the next one. When he did not find her on that car he called up Milwaukee and learned the girl had left there. Inquiries were made at the Church street terminal of the line and H was learned that Miss Racowski had seen there. All trace of her was lost, however, after she left the interurban depot Pc4ice Mngistrate Boyer has retuflied^ -and 1» once mere deciding the cases in police court Tha aiagistrat* ep«n$ hw vacation m C^^ ;sjiiger.^^i^Mi»"~~ "^ REGULATION IS VERY RIGID Thursday Dan Cupid waa dealt a severe blow by his former best friend when Uncle Sam ordered that no mall should be given from the general de- livery windows to persona who have street addresses. The misuse of the general delivery department by young people and mar- ried women all over the country caused the government to withdraw as being a party to any clandestine or improper correspondence. the order was nothing new for the Bvsnston postoffiee, as it was applied several years Age, As a result of the order the postal officials will take steps to bring about its farther en- forcement Because of the order being Issued In Bvanston some years ago the clerk at the general delivery window basal- ways bad angry people to calm. The office has made It a rule that If a party having mall sent here in care of general delivery bad a local street address the mail would be delivered. Received Complain?*, This caused much trouble. Young girls not wanting their mall delivered to their homes, complained. Mar- ried women, who else wanted their mall kept away from their homo, complained, -the postal department lent a deaf ear to the "kicks" and delivered the mail to the homes of the parties. ~. " ■ . .: \ . ■ . Another class thai will be effected by the new order are. the people who have been getting their mail at the general delivery window under an as- sumed name. This has long been done in Bvanston. The person, finding that if the mail were sent with the right name on the envelope it would be de- livered to their home, gave a strange name, for which no local address could be found. In this way they could get their mail through the general deliv- ery. To put a stop to this a plan will be started at the Bvanston office. Each person requesting that their mail be sent to the general delivery window will be asked to take a blank form and sign their name and address. They will then go to the postmaster sad ten htm why they wish their mail sent to the general delivery Instead of to their home. If it is found they have no permanent home, here their wish will be granted. Visitors Use Window. * * fivanston's general deli very window has long been misused by people living along the north shore, young women especially taking advantage of it Some women, tiring as far as Glen- coe, have used the local general de- livery window; The Bvanston officials could never understand this as the same thing could be done in the vil- lages north Of here. The reports from the postmaatere from all over the country show that a great many men and youths are guilty of the offenys but they aye far outnumbered by the young; girls and married women.
