Ever since 1898 there has been a stampede every season to the Koy- ukuk country and the real pay streak has never been located.

Three important measures were discussed at the session of the American Mining Congress in Denver last month. The first was the ihauguration\ of general movement on the part of all citi- gems of the West to havo 8 new cabinet position created. that of Secretary of Mining.

The cost of the Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition is estimated at $1O,OOO,OOO. The exposition cor poration will likely spend $175,- GOO before the gates are opened. The State of Washington will ap- propriate at least $1 1000, ,OOO. With another million from the government and the states and foreign countries and what the ex- hibltors and concessionaires will spend, the total will easily reach that figure.

Too Husy.

Extreme 'busyness," whether at school
or at college, kirk or market is a
symptom of deficient vitality, and a
faculty for idleness implies a catholic
appetite and a strong sense of personal
identity. There is a sort of dead
alive, hackneyed people about who are
scarcely conscious of living except in
the exercise of some conventional oc
cupation. Bring these fellows into
your country or set them aboard ship
and you will see how they pine for
their desk or study They have no
curiosity. they cannot give themselves
over to random provocations, they do
not take pleasure I'm the exercise o.
their faculties for Its own sake. an
unless necessity lays about them with
n stick they will even stand still. 1t j.
no good speaking to such folk. They
cannot he idle. their nature is not gen.
erous enough. and they pass those
hours in sort of coma which are not
