WOMAN MINE INSPECTOR
She Goes Into the Wild York Country
of Alaska.

Miss Ella r. Steiner is the first white
woman to penetrate from Cape York into
the mining country of the. interior Dur
ing the past summer she visited prae-
tically all the important streams bearing
mineral deposits and in company with her
neice walked 10 miles into the Solomon
Creek country She personally superin-
tended the development work on 205 min
ing claims, and gained knowledge Of the
York country possessed by no other wo-
man.

men and one of these, the postmaster.

Life in the north is full Of humor and

daily that II told would make the most

Somehow the feeling Of restraint which
holds men in check IN the states is
thrown of in the north. Men up there
seem TO thQk that they are so far away
that nobody knows them and they break
loose. Not that the men of the north
are wild or sissolutc but there is q greater
sir of freedom. and not one in ten feels
tied down by conventionality.

In discussing the wheat and corn fea-
lures of the report, secreatry Coburn
says:
Our report shows much more wheat
than the talent anticipated. but Kansas
has this wheat. and more rather than
less. A critical analysis of our very fun
returns in careful detail shows that we
have been even more than usually con-
servative With the slightest willingness
or disposition to permit semblance Of
imitation, the state could easily be given
a showing of $1,000. O0o bushels OF winter
wheat. in spite of early season mishaps
and the enormous doubtful acreage plow-
ed up to be planted in corn and other
crope. OF course the quality Of much of
this wheat, owing to the weeks OF con-
tinuous rain following harvest is not all
that we could wish. and our millers have
difficulty for the time being in procur-
lib Il 1ull anu constant supply OF the
grades necessary TO maintain the high
standard of Kansas famous hard wheat
fiours
In corn yield. likewise but in another
direction, we shall disappoint the wise
ones. especially those whose ideas have
been formulated from the governments
preliminary estimate issued November 10.
giving us about 252 100000 bushels We
have lots of good corn on the whole and
in some sections it is phenomenally so.
but any estimates which push it far past
the 200, 200. 600 mark are likely to be too
stiff. Uncle Sans figures are every year
far more generous towards us than we
care TO make for ourselves. and we are
glad 10 have it so. as it is always the
policy of her board of agriculture that
Kansas shall be able to deliver all the
goods she advertises. and more, but we
do not claim that she has $50, 900 bush
els of corn this year. These official fig
ures. taken together. convey the states
story plainly and more eloquently than is
