~ROvE was three days in Brier
Dale after he came out of the
woods. The FLY was now q
sleek and shapely animal, past
three years of age. He began at once
breaking her to the saddle, and, that
done, mounting, he started for Robins
Inn. He carried game rooster In a
sack for the boy Tom. All came out
with a word Of welcome. Even the
small dog grew noisy with delight.
Tunk Hosely, who had CONE to work
for Mrs. Vaughn, took the mare and
led her away, his shoulder leaning with
an added sense Of horsemanship. Pol

would never be quite satisfied. Cover

Later mining development extended into northern Georgia and became of sufficient i'm portance to justify the establishment of another mint at Dahlonega, Ga. There seems to be no record which states the amount of gold taken from the mines of the United States between the date
 of this discovery and the discoveries in California, forty-seven years later" of course the record referred to by Captain

EXPOSITION
 |NDORSED

At a meeting of the Rampant Board Of Trade last Saturday night a considerable discussion was had regarding the Alaska Yukon-Pacitie Exposition. The senti- ment was wholly favorable to the undertaking. The matter was disposed of for the time being by the appoint ment of committee who drafted the following preamble and resolutions:
 Whereas, It is mutually advantageous to the people of d new territory like Alaska, where the conditions, resources and products are little known, and to those of the nation, that knowledge and understanding one of the other be pro- noted and that the benefits of one to the other be fully comprehended by each;
 And whereas, The Alaska Iukon-Pa- cific Exposition, to be held in the city of Seattle in 1909, promises to bring to- gether large numbers of the citizens of Alaska and of other and older sections of the United States, with exhibits typ ical of all sections of our great and common country:
 Therefore be it resolved
 l. That this board heartily endorse the purposes and aims of the exposition aforesaid.
 9 That collectively and individually we pledge ourselves to labor for the sue cess of the exposition and for a full and comprehensive exhibit from our district and territory at the same.
 3. That we earnestly urge, and be- lieve the people of Alaska merit, such action at the hands of the general gov ernment as will insure proper building and other requirements at the expesi- tion necessary to place our territory in a creditable light before the world.

 Marten are ! and lynx : shillings lower than March sales. Mink, weasel and all classes of fox are very dull. Bear almost unsaleable, except strictly high-grade skins.

Gossip for Prospectors

ndEO mlllCEdlSs-lH tllc lliilIS PS- riodicals advertisements appear, every issue, of persons wishing to purchase the more uncommon kinds of minerals Among those inquired for are crystal, lized gold, molybdenum, tantalum, tho. rum, titaneum, tungsten, uranium and vanadium. Corundum of different grades would also find ready buyers. The av. craze prospector would pass up great values in any of these minerals without suspecting their nature or worth. The editor of this little paper frankly con- fesses lamentable ignorance of such things. To those directly or indirectly interested in prospecting, however, espe. cially in new country like Alaska, the importance of gaining all the knowledge possible of the other minerals, as well as of gold, will readily suggest itself
 ~~~~~~~N~
 Corundum.-According to the Min. ing World the blue specie of corundum is the true sapphire The ruby is the blood red variety. The topaz is another corundum mineral, and that beautiful green stone, emerald, is pure corundum. A superb oriental ruby or emerald is worth more per carat than pure white diamonds. Good specimens of the ruby or emerald are far scarcer than dia- monds. Both emeralds and rubies have been found in North Carolina within the last few years. The former are dug out of pockets in the rock at considerable distance below the surface It is from the gravels of the Cowee valley that the ruby crystals are obtained, many of them being of the pure pigeon-blood color. Attention was first attracted to the deposit by few fine specimens which were accidentally picked up. A single stone of this kind may easily be worth fortune. A perfect l0-carat ruby is valued at price equivalent to $7OO, ,OOO an ounce. To test corundum as to quality take an equal amount of known high-grade corundum. Two weighed pieces of plate glass are then rubbed together with the sample be. tween and the process is continued until the grit has disappeared and the plates no longer lose in weight from the abra. sion. The amount of loss is a measur. for hardness and abrading power of tht sample, the better grade giving tho greater loss. With the exception of the diamond the corundum minerals ar. the hardest known.

war $25, 900 investment in mining at Dahlonega yielded average annual prof it's of 25 per cent. for at least twenty-five years. An item in the Mining World says the hints were established at Dah- lonega and Charlotte in 1s37; but that was probably after the gold excitement had hegun to subsi,le. At it's night the stampede was the greatest that had been known; and to it was due the fact that from the very beginning of mining in California the most skilliul placer miners in the worll operated there.

United States First Stampede.

In recent address before the Wash ington Miners Association, Captain

 1902, at Walkers Crossing, on Carrabus creek, in Carraba county, North Caro- lima. "it Is strange" said Captain Hand, that there Is no record ot this
 discovery and it's results. The diSeov- cry stimulated further search for minerals. and many millions were taken from the plaeers in the western part ci the state. Then the government sstab-
