was found in small quantities, but no extensive prospecting for the yellow metal was prosecuted until about 1896. Since then some extensive placer mines have been developed and in the aggre- gate large quantity of gold has been taken from the ground. Placer min ing, however, is yet in it's infancy, and those who are posted, claim the time is near when the placer mines around Hope and Sunrise will be the most pro- life in Alaska.

COOK INLET

Considering the fact that the name of the precinct in which Seward is situat- ed is called Cook Inlet it is but proper that description of that important arm of the North Pacific ocean should be given as far as any data can be se- cured, says the Seward Gateway.
 The historical Captain Cook was the discoverer of this now famous stretch of salt water which extends so far in land. He passed the south point of the Kenia Peninsula on the birthday of Princess Elizabeth, May q, ITS. Captain Cook took possession in the name of His Majesty, and buried coins and records in a bottle at Possession Point at the head of the Inlet, and Vancouver, another great explorer, afterwards searched for these records in vain. Itis not impossible but that the ubiquitous prospector may yet un- earth these relics in his search forgold, and realize more from them than had he struck a large body of pay gravel.
 A chain of active volcanoes extends along the west shore. Iliama, the great volcano of the inlet, 12,o66 feet high, was named Miranda, the Admirable, by the Spanish navigator. It is snow clad, but steam and smoke issues from two craters near the summit, and when ar rested for any time, frequent earth quakes are felt. Many hot springs are situated on the slopes, and the heat furnishes a luxurient growth of trees in the valleys and ravines. There are many other volcanoes in the same sec tion, some of which are active while others are extinct.

Nine and a half days is the new rec cord over the ice and snow from Fair banks to Valdez. The trip that broke the record was made by Arthur McNeer and "Cow" Miller, who arrived in Val dez January 26, according to advices from that place. The distance which these mushers travelled in the short space of nine and a half days is 564 miles. This averages close to sixty miles per day. The journey, moreover, was made at a season when the sun scarcely rises above the horizon. The men report that the trail is in first class condition. McNeer says thatitis possible to make the trip in seven days, and to make camp every night On the trip the men lost several hours at the summit of the divide, where their course was obstructed by a heavy drift. The remarkable time made by these men goes to indicate that the Valdez route is at present tue best way into Fairbanks. During the months of Feb ruary and March the trail is in the best condition for travel over the ice and snow, and even a lower record for mak. ing the trip may be looked for later.

when Marco Polo Was Alarmed.

Regarding the use of bamboo as fuel
the following quaint lines from the book
of Messer Marco Polo, the Venetian,
form an interesting example of travel
ers' tales in those days when travellers
were SO few that there was little fear
of their meeting with contradiction.
He says: THE people cut the green
canes, of which there are vast num-
bers. and set fire to heap of them at
once. After they have been awhile
burning they burst asunder, and this
makes such a loud report that you
might hear it ten miles off, In fact,
any one unused to this noise who
should hear it unexpectedly might
easily go into a swoon or die of fright.
But those who, are used to it care moth
ing about it; hence those who are not
used to it stuff their ears we'll with
cutton and wrap up their heads and
faces with all the clothes they can
muster, and so they get along until
they have become used to the sound.
I tell you the truth, however, when I
say that the first time you hear it moth
ing can be more alarming

CHRISTMAS TREES.
From Time ImmemOrial Part of the
Holiday Celebration.

From time immemorial tree has
been a part of the Christmas celebra
ton. 1t may be seen outside the tradi-
tional managers in the missals and early
paintings of the preraphaelite Italian
school. In the tree or near it are seen
angels in flowing robes singing out of
a scroll of Illuminated paper the
.Peace on Earth and Good Will To
ward Men" or GLORY, Glory, Halle
luiahr'
The correct German Christmas tree
always has an angel or Christkind on
the topmost branch, with a tinsel star
at the end of a staff, like a pantOmime
fairy, and if the tree belongs to a very
orthodox family there is usually at it's
foot small toy group representing the
Saviour's birth in the stable at Bethle
hem
The lights on the tree are said to be
of Jewish origin. In the ninth month
of the Jewish year, corresponding near
ly to our December, and on the TWEEN
ty-1ifth day, the Jews celebrated the
feast of dedication of their temple. 1t
had been desecrated on that day by
Antiochus. 1t was dedicated by Ju
das Maccabeus and then, according TO
the Jewish legend, sufficient Oil was
found in the temple to last for the
seven branched candlestick for seven
days, and it would have taken seven
days to prepare new OIL Accordingly
the Jews were wont on the 25th of Kis-
leu in every house to light candle, on
the next day two, and SO ON till Oh the
seventh and last day Of the feast seven
candles twinkled in every house.
1t is not easy to fix the exact date Of
the Nativity, but it fell most probably
on the last day of Aisleu, when every
Jewish house in Bethlehem and Jeru
salem was twinkling with lights. It is
worthy of notice that the German name
for Christmas is Weihnacht (the night
of dedication), as though it were asso-
ciated with this feast. The Greeks al
so call Christmas the feast Of lights,
and, indeed, this was also the name
given to the dedication festival, Cha
nuka, by the Jews.-New York Mail
and Express.

Easy HOusekeeDin *.

Native housewives in the West In
dian jungle find housekeeping very
easy. Fruit and vegetables grow wild
all about the hut, and the river
abounds with fish. On washday all
she has to do is to pick few of the
berries Of the soap berry tree, take her
clothes to the river and use the berries
as she would use ordinary soap. Even
her cooking pots grow on the trees, the
calabash cut in halves being used for
this purpose. Calabashes are also used
for bowls, basins and jugs for carry
ing water from the river while the
small ones make excellent cups. In
the afternoon when she is ready for
her cup of tea she picks half a dozen
leaves from the lime bush growing at
her door, boils them, sQueezes the juice
from sugar cane for sweetening, and
the cocoanut supplies the milk Thus
she has a delicious cup Of tea without
depending on the grocer for it.

CHRISTMAS CARDS.
Wv. A. DObsOn, IF. A., 1t Is Claimed,
Was Their Originator.


Until now most people who took an
interest in the matter would have cred
tied either the late Sir Henry Cole or
J. G. Horsley, r. A., with the produc-
ton of the first Christmas card, and
they would have put the date down as
1916 But q new claimant is now put
forward, the late w. A. Dobson, Z. A.,
and his claim is supported with cir
cumstantial detail
The birth of the Christmas card is
put back two years, to 1914. Mr.. Dob
son was lonely young man, VINO one
day conceived the idea Of acknowledge
ing the kindness of a friend by sending
him d picture illustrative of the festive
seasonal cheerful family group sur
rounded by the familiar Christmas ac-
ceSSOrieS.
The distant friend was delighted,
showed it to other friends, and MI.
Dobson was encouraged the following
year to secure the aid OF the local
photographer. Then came imitators one
after another until ten years later the
business man stepped in to make mon
CIV out of what was originally Il work
of love But the ambitious Christmas
cards Of today are a long remove from
the primitive Father ChriStmases and
Robin Redbreasts of sixty years ago.
