At the Maimie mine, Hadley, about sixty.fve men are now regularly em- ployed and breaking out ore at the rate of 200 tons per day, though the actual number of miners is not nearly so large as might be inferred.

 The city of Fairbanks, the population center of interior Alaska, the hub of the great wheel of fortune-Alaska-is attracting more attention in the out side world than any settlement in the western part of the continent-andJustlY so.

 The prospector should remember that there are laws regulating the talk ing up of mining locations, and these laws for the most part are simple and easily understood. One of the first things with which the prospector should equip himself is knowledge of the laws governing the location of claims. While the laws permit him to take up as many claims as he sees fit to locate, the plan followed by some of appropriating a score or more of To- cations is not good one, for in most cases the prospector has all he can at- tend to to do the assessment on two or three claims, particularly if the claims are low grade and require large amount of development to make them valuable. Rarely does the prospector who appropriates all the ground he can locate in a new district sell these claims or any of them to advantage General ly, out of the entire lot, there are not more than two or three good ones, and often none of them prove to be valua- ble. His best plan will be to develop one of the lot. Another point worth remem boring is not to scatter the de- velopment work too much. Select promising place at the start and con- fine work to that place. This need not be at the point of discovery, but any where on the claim where the mineral indications are most encouraging. A most important matter is to stake the claim properly and completely, and, if possible, have witnesses to the corners, for, in the event of the property becom- ing valuable, it is very necessary that the claim be completely staked and that every requirement. of the law be observed. These things are important in order to secure perfect title to the property and to enjoy the privilege of the extralateral right.-EX.

When Indian women, Laughing Waters and Minnehahas, become civil ized to any extent they appear to cuIti- vate an antipathy to their dusky liego lords that prompts them to figure in the divorce courts.

 It is always sad to hear of mining camp being short of flour, meat and other necessities of life, but to hear of a whisky famine stirs all the emotions of sympathetic humanity as nothing else can. Women and children may go hungry and the world say "Lt is too bad," but when the supply of whisky runs out the world wrings its hands in agony and resolves Something must be done to relieve tte situation" A late issue of the Dawson News says: "Fairbanks faces a calamity. It is all because of the unsuspected capacity of the populace of the new Panama camp. The five thousand people there are draining the whisky supply dangerous Iy low, and it begins to appear as though the camp will have to pull through the spring on diluted cock tails. Ia fact, the drinks are already suspected of being diluted in some of the less scrupulous resorts"

Girls and Marriage.

Referring to the young ste
nographer who complained the
other day that the young men
of today just won't get marri-
ed. | want to ask the question,
did she ever stop to think that
she was partly the cause of it?
How many young ladies have
supplanted young men in our
offices? How many young school
teachers are ladies? Do they
ever stop to consider how they
lower the scale of wages so that
in order to secure work at all
young men must compete with
the fairer companions, the re-
suit being the utter demoralza-
ton of salaries. Does the young
lady strenographer think that
she could keep a husband and
family on her income? The
young man of today looks ahead
more than he used to-necessity
compels it. The thoughts of the
joys and pleasures of having a
wife now gives way to the fears
that he may not be able tossup-
port her. How soon, under the
pressure of t h e struggle for
bread, does the goddess of his
thoughts descend to the woman
of reality? Many a young man
has refrained from taking the
step he longed for because of
that reason. The young man
who proposes and meets with a
refusal from the one he loves is
the most fortunate man there is.
He probably doesn't appreciate
the favor at the time, but usuly
does afterward. However, in
the lottery of matrimony all are
not blanks. There are fifty pri-
yes to every blank, and were a
little more attention given to
womanly accomplishments rath-
er than a pretty face the divorce
lawyers would do a smaller bust
ness. However, the girls, usu-
ally meets with more disap-
pointments than the men. How
quickly familiarity dispells the
hero of her thoughts. The man
who has the reputation of an
angel is to be watched, as usual
he can only appear one by ac-
ting the comon hypocrite,-

To build up, and not tear
down, is the whole duty of every
citizen of a town orcity. Stand
squarely by every citizen in
your town who conducts an
honorable and legitimate bus
mess. Every citizen of a town
or community should be a CO.
worker for the genial welfare
of all vacations and trades, and
to refuse to do so is to Ilock
the wheels of progress. Do rot
consider your competitor as
your enemy, what is good for
your competitor or your neigh
Dor is in general way good for
you. The man who is so hide
bound and self conceited as to
be unable to see beyond the
narrow limits of his own exist
ence and own welfare is a curse
to his town, a drawback to civ
ilization and stumbling block
to Christianity. Blenco Herald.

Poor old Bill Richards. He
has to go to the penitentiary
for Is years for completely in
the Sullivan robbery, at Hamil-
ton, Iowa, some years ago. This
shows what a man will do for a
little money. Bill was United
States Deputy Marshal, and was
regarded as one of the finest
men in the State. He was APP
pointed guardian for some o.
phan children, and unlawfully
spent their money entrusted to
his care, and when it came time
to make settlement, guardian,
he had no money to meet the
demand, and so he resorted to
the awful crime of robbing an
old man and woman to secure
the needed money.
1t is astonishing to think that
what a man will do for money.
Here is a man who was one
specially selected by the Gov
eminent to chase down thieves
and robbers, but turning rob-

Court of Iowa, says Richards is
guilty and must pay the penalty,
and he goes to prison for 18
years. The thirst for money is
an awful thing.

Reception

A very novel idea was carried
out this afternoon by the
teachers of the First ward CIV
ing a reception to the parents
of the children who attend that
school. The school house was
very prettily decorated through
out the rooms. The hall looked
very artistic and cozy with its
decoration of cozy corners, rugs
and pillows. In each room ex-
hibits of the children's work
were placed around in conspic
uous places. After all the
work had been examined thor
oughly by the guests, a fine
programme was given. The
following people gave talks
which were all very interest
ing: Mr.. Beveridge, Rev. j.
Mac Allister, Mr.. Brainard, J.
S. McGavren and Mrs. John
Anderson. Mrs. Dollia Bur-
CESS and Geo. Norton both sang
solos, which were greatly err
joyed. At the close of tie
programme the guests were IN
vited into room No. i, where
light refreshments were served
dy six girls from the Sth room.
This was a very pleasant and
profitable afternoon and very
highly appreciated by the
Ipatronsof the First ward school.

An exchange says: There
are few people who are fami-
liar with the process of making
paper, and yet there are still
fewer people who would look
at the large tree and realize
the possibility of the shortness
of time in which that tree could
be transformed into news
papers. A short time ago a
trial was made to see how short
a time living trees could be
converted into newspapers.
The trial was made at Essen
thai in Austria. At IS minutes
after seven in the morning
three trees were cut down, and
at 81 minutes after nine the
wood had been stripped Of its
bark, cut up and converted into
pulp and became paper and
passed from the factory to the
press, where it was printed and
folded at 10 o'cl:ck thus re-
quired just 145 minutes to
convert the living tree into a
newspaper.
