FATHER PARKER GAINED

Last evening number of the Catho- lies of Douglas gathered at the Priests residence, and presented Rev. Father Parker with the following farewell ad- dress:
 We have gathered here this evening in the name of the Catholics of Doug las Island, to bid farewell to one, who but few months among us, has eternally endeared himself to us by his faithful and loving work, as pastor or our church.
 Rev. Father Parker, in few hours you are going to leave this, your Little Island Parish, for a more Southern cline, seeking medical treatment, and we hope and trust that it will please Him, whose faithful messenger you have been, to grant you quick and complete cure and it will only be a short time, till you are back with us once more.
 We believe and know that we are bet ter men, and women for your advent among us, for we have always found you true and pious priest, and man in the best sense of the word.
 But if is not to be that you will re- turn to us, and deem it wiser for the preserving of your health, to remain in drier climate, we hope that you will always remember and pray for those whose honor and privilege 1t has been to belong to this parish, which has been your first sacerdotal charge.
 After the reading of the address, MT. N. King in the name of the Alaska Catholic Club presented Father Parker with handsome gold headed cane. The Father responded in few chosen words, regretting his departure, telling how he had been we'll pleased with his work in Douglas, having made many warm friends both among the Catholics and Protestants and whether he re- turned or not, he would always remem- Der, with pleasure and deep affection his many friends on Douglas Island.

HE KEPT HIMSELF COOL

A man and his wife were once stay ing at a hotel, when iu the night they were aroused from their slumbers by the cry that the hotel was afire, says "The Boston Herald"
 "Now, my dear," said the husband, q will put into practice what have preached. Put on all your indispens- able apparel, and keep cool"
 Then he slipped his watch into his vest pocket and walked with his wife out of the hotel.
 When all danger was past he said; ''Now you see how necessary it is to keep cool"
 The wife for the first time glanced at her husband.
 "Yes, William" she said, "it is a grand thing, but if were you would have put on my trousers"

WHAT THE LITTLE ANGEL SAID

Mrs. Mortimer Rutherford, of River side Drive, in despair of breaking her little boy of swearing,at last threatened that the next time he used bad word she would banish him from home. The very next day he exploded big, big D..
 q am very sorry, Wilbur" said Mrs. Rutherford, "but have never broken my word to you, so now you must leave home"
 Nanette packed the child's little toy suit case, and he, without a whimper, but with round, wondering eyes and downcast mouth, kissed his mamma and departed. Mrs. Rutherford's eyes were dim as she watched her baby boy in his blue travelling suit trudging away without one backward glance.
 A long way off, Wilbur set his burden on the ground and himself perched solemnly on the curb, chin in hand, in deep meditation. The spectacle was too much for the fond mother-heart. Very quietly mamma sped down the drive and tiptoed up behind Master Wilbur. As she was on the point of surprising him with fearful kisses, a pompous old man appeared.
 "Child," he said, "child, will you hum-tell me where Mir. Millikin lives?'
 Ah! Now mammals little man would show his breeding! Wilbur raised his blue eyes, and regarded the pompous man coldly.
 "You go to he'll" he said calmly. "l have troubles of my own."-Saturday Evening Post.

WHAT IS GRoUND-HoG's DAY

We have been repeatedly asked the above question. Ground-Hog's Day, in popular myth and rural tradition, is the day on which the Ground-Hog first comes out of it's hole after it's hiberna- tion. this action being regarded as af- fording weather prophecy. The say ing goes that if the Ground-Hog sees it's shadow on that day, it retires to it's burrog for six weeks longer, which inn plies that warm, sunshiny weather very early in spring, or on the second day of February, arousing the Ground-Hog from it's torpidity, is likely to be fol- lowed by a cold or late season

The average length of waltz was a half mile, of polka three quarters of a mile, of gallop or schottische a mile, and of lancers quarter of a mile. A girl usually danc- es more than man and is calculated to cover more than sixteen miles in a single evening.-Chicago Journal.

The Alaska prospector., 1906-09-20

Over in Galena bay, B. F. Mil. lard Is hard at work on the old 'Fesuvius group which was for merly bonded by the Mitchell Mining Co. Some splendid devel. opment has been accomplished by Willard this season and at consid- erably less expense than by the Mitchell outfit. A number of properties of lesser importance are scattered through this district with more or less work going on.
 To the westward of Copper Mountain is the Boulder Mine. Since the installation of the com- presser plant about a year ago over 1900 feet of development work has been accomplished. Two bodies of high grade ore have been opened by the drifts leading from the crosscut tunnel and the mine has now come into line as regn- lar shipper. Here is in operation the first diamond drill to be brought into the district.
 About two miles from Boulder bay is situated the Ellamar mine, pioneer of the district. This prop erty has now been opened into the sixth level and the ore bodies are found to be larger and richer than ever. The new foreman, William Page from Butte Montana, is doing the best work ever accomplished on the property with the result that nearly 20OO tons of copper ore are shipped monthly. It is under stood that plans have been formu- lated for extensively prospecting the ground adjacent to the interior of the. Ellamar mine and those familiar with the conditions pre- dict that other rich ore bodies will be uncovered. The best is none too good for the lucky owners of this splendid property and to J: D. Meenach must be given the credit for the courage and enterprise of first tackling the copper situation in Prince William Sound.
 In the tour of the Sound hun dreds of prospects of more or less promise were encountered and a vast field of profitable mining de- velopment is in evidence. The new Alaska Copper Mining Ex- change is expected to properly list the properties of the district, which will make readily accessible the necessary information regarding each.
 Prince William Sound is un- doubtedly the best located of any of the great copper fields since magnificent harbors abound; tim Der is plentiful and water powers numerous. The ore is of unusually high grade and no great mining difficulties are to be encountered. It is safe to predict that within a few years this district will easily take rank with the great copper producing districts of the States.
