The first attempt to develop the mineral resources of Alaska was made in 1S4S by P. R. Doroshin, a Russian mining engineer, who was sent from St. Petersburg by the Russian-Amerlcan Company to ex- anime Baranoff island and the Cook inlet region. The location which he chose for investigation on kenai Peninsula was the Konai ii, CT valley, but although he found gold bearing gravels he was not successful in finding gold in com mercial quantities, the product of two seasons' labor, the summers of 1S4S and 1850, amounting to only a few ounces of the prec.ous metal.

Care Of the Separator.

In order to have the perfect motion
OF the separator bowl the machine
must he set level and be kept clean and
well oiled. The oil should be thin or
light so It will not gum the wearing
parts. A heavy oil will make the una
chine run hard and will gum quickly
on small high speed bearings. All the
bearings OF the machine should be fee
quently flushed with coal oil. IL Is well
to make a run about once in two or
three weeks. using coal oil on ali the
bearings. This keeps the parts free
from gum and washes out grit or sand
that may have blown into them. 1t is
an excellent plan to have cover OF
close woven cloth or oilcloth that CAN
be kept over the machine while IL Is not
In operation. This will keep out dust
and will add materially to the lasting
powers of the machine. The separator
should be set upon good solid floor so
that IL will not move about as the
operator turns the crank-Profcssor II.

If one is to belieue the medical ex-
aminers the reason a woman pays more
for the privilege of life insurance is that
she is much more commonly victim of
indigestion and stomach troubles and
the fatal ailments that spring from
these causes,
1t is not the acute attacks of disease
that influence the insurance examiners
alone. but the constant feelings of weak
ness headache, Indigestion and stomach
trouble. These things, physicians say.
