some cause sends the earth about more rapidly than usual and earthquakes re- suit. In his own words:
 ''The exorteric principle is that when- ever the velocity of the terraqueous ob- late spheroid which we inhabit becomes excessively accelerated in its paracentric deviation from it's accustomed orbit, and the momentum of its revolutions through the atmosphere increases in corresponding ratio, these extraordinary conditions combine to produce tremen- dous subterranean conclusions, which necessarily execute much desolation on the surface"

the United States. The Canadian gov ernment naturally assumes that all gold found on south-bound passengers leav- ing Canadian territory at White Pass has been mined in Canada. Such gold is therefore liable to confscation by the officers in charge of collection of royalty unless the bearer is provided with a properly ratified certificate stating that the gold is of foreign production. Amer ican miners should obtain such certifi- cate at Eagle from the United States authorities (fee, 10 cents) and have the same ratified at Dawson by the Canadian police fee, 50 cents for gold from to 25 ounces, $l for p ounces and upward). . All individuals leaving Yukon territory for United States territory are strictly searched for gold.
 The regulations in regard to boats coming down the Yukon into United States territory must also be taken into consideration. No boat or scow, not regular carrier, can, for example, make the journey from Dawson to Circle, car rying over five tons of freight This is especially burdensome on settlers who wish to outfit at Dawson and float their goods down the Yukon. The situation, owing to the conditions, is undoubtedly burden of extra expense on the miner, but is unavoidable, and must be reck- oned with in any estimate of expenses attending the prosecution of placer mining in the Alaska interior.

The Earth
 Out of Place

Edmund Scribner Stevens, Ph D., "great Bible scholar and chronologist," as his card puts it, now of Washington city, formerly of Lebanon, Ind, predicts more disastrous earthquakes and the end of the world. Following is the ex- planation he gives:
 ''The earth is out of place or upright position. It is gradually resuming it. Whenever there is an accelerated or faster motion, in that period earth quakes occur.
 "We are now in one of those periods, which will extend from the time of the eruption of Mount Pelee to 1915. An other will last from 1925 to l946; another from 1865 to 2OO0 A. D.
 ''In 1882 the earthquakes will be of such extent that all the cities of all na- tious will fall. From 2O35 to 3l44 A. n. the earth will be in continual perturba- tion, and in the latter year will settle to it's upright position. This will bring in the new heaven and the new earth"
 Stevens says that after the biblical flood the earth slipped quarter of the way around on it's axis. and that it Is now regaining it's normal position. He points with glee to the tact that when explorers % searching for the north pale In the arctic rrgions they are rvally on the trail ot the actual equator, and that is would not be the north poie cvea ii they iound it.

Difficulties of a peculiar nature are experienced by the placer miners of in- terior Alaska owing to the configuration of the international boundary between the Territory of Alaska and the British possessions. The town of Dawson, being the largest settlement of the interior, Is naturally the point where mining sup plies are most easily and quickly ob- tained by the placer miners of the neighboring American camps of Birch Creek and Foltymile, the Rampant dis trict, and others of the Yukon and Panama. During the season of 1904 the rapid and to a certain extent justitiable development of the town of Fairbanks, on the Panama river, gave promise that this settlement would eventually become as we'll equipped to supply the needs of the Tanana miners as is Dawson. The
 
 American Yukon camps must, however, for a considerable number of years be locally dependent on Dawson as a source of supplies.
 Theoretically the miners are supposed to buy their mining supplies and ma chinery either at points in the United States or at towns on the Yukon in American territory. Such supplies, of course, if shipped down the Yukon, come through the Canadian territory in bond free of duty. In practice, how ever, owing to the necessity of obtaining supplies quickly, purchases are made in Dawson, and unless the supplies can be proved to be returned American goods the American miner must pay duties to the United States custom house at Eagle according to the rates given in the fol- lowing list. Frequently duties must be paid even on supplies made in the United States and returned, since there is no manufacturers mark by which the GUS toms inspector can identify them. This especially applies to such important mining supplies as small parts of boilers, tubes, pipe, pipe fittings, elbows, T's, unions, grate bars, sledges, drill steel, picks, shovels, pump plungers, buckets, valves, small ear wheels, strap iron, rails, bar and rod iron, and small cast ings. Even larger pieces, such as parts of hydraulic giants, are frequently un- stamped. These supplies, kept for sale by the machinery firms of Dawson, ire- queutly pay customs duties both to Canada and the United States before reaching the Alaska camps. Dawson is frequently sought by the American miners tn the mi,lst oi the short season ior the purpose oi repairs to various mining machinery, it being the only place accessible aa the Yukon where machine shops exist. it may easily be seen how hunlss-ome on the miner is tk.. in,s-,.l u. ni a ,laty on hi- machinery

which he brings back into American territory after repairs, and on which he must pay duty because it has been improved or changed in foreign terri. tory.
 Below are given the United States GUS toms duties on small mining supplies:
 Boilers and engines, first and second hand, 45 per cent. ad valorem.
 Points (steam), sluice forks, picks, shovels, axes, 45 per cent. ad valorem.
 Sledges, IF cent per pound.
 Drill steel, Az cents per pound.
 Hydraulic hose, 20 cents per pound.
 Cast pipe, Az cents per pound.
 Hydraulic pipe, ? cents per pound.
 Gas pipe, B per cent. ad valorem.
 Rubber hose, 30 per cent. ad valorem.
 Coke, p per cent. ad valorem.
 Bituminous coal, 67 cents per ton.
 Dynamite, 6 cents per pound.
 iisiN l'oNbSi, tChtS pCl BOulio.
 Caps, $2.26 per thousand.
 Fuse, 45 per cent. ad valorem.
 Candles, p per cent. ad valorem.
 Nails, wire, }2cent per pound; wrought iron, 2'4 cents per pound.
 Steel rails, 7-20ths cent per pound.
 Wire cable, cent per pound and 40 per cent ad valorem
 Centrifugal pumps, 45 per cent. ad valorem.
 Sawed lumber, g per thousand and 50 cents for each side dressed.
 Wheelbarrows, iron, 45 per cent. ad valorem.
 Rope, l cent per pound.
 Self-dumping carriers, 45 per cent. ad valorem.
 Asphalt coating, B per ton.
 Hydraulic giants, 45 per cent ad va lorem.
 Lubricating oils, p per cent. ad va lorem.
 Copper plates, 2la cents per pound.
 Cement, s cents per 100 pounds.
 Quicksilver, cents per pound.
 Iron castings, S-l0ths cent per pound 1; if ground and fitted, 45 per cent. ad va lorem.
 It should be stated that there is a duty on all horses, cattle, sheep and dogs entering Alaska. Horses, value $50 or less, 80 per head; over sl50, 25 per cent ad valorem. Dogs, 20 per cent. ad valorem; cattle, s2 per head, under l year old; others, 27'i per cent. ad valorem.l Thus dog team coming down river from Dawson in the winter is dutiablc.
 During the season of l90l United States customs inspector accompanied the Yukon steamers from Dawson with shipments from that point to Fairbanks, in order ,o obyiate the bong delays which had previously been neressary ior ap- prsi-emeut at Eagle.
