FairHaired Race In Ancient Egyp

Karl Blind, the anthropologist, has
long believed that the aboriginal in
habitants Of Egypt were fair-haired
people, allied by blood to the Trojans
who were driven out by the incom.
ing Of the latter black-haired, pyramid
building race.
The recent uneartning, he says. Of
the ancient burial place Of light
haired people at Fayum, and still
later Of . reddish-haired corpse mot
q mummy, supposed to be 5000 years
old. furnishes striking evidence in
support Of this theory. This race was
related by blood, speech and customs
to the Teutonic and Scandinavian
stock. therefore also with English
men and their descendants in Amer
lea"
The corpse above referred to now
lies in the mummy room Of the Brit
ish Museum. It was dug up on the
western bank Of the Nile, in upper
Egypt. Some tufts Of reddish hair
are still sticking to the S.000-year.old
skull. The hands and feet are small
tho head long and narrow. The stat
ure of this warrior must have beer
about s feet 8 inches.

MINING INSTITUTES
 ARt PROBABLE
Local YMC,A May Establish Such Later After Pattern
 of Coal Districts.

The work of the Young Mems Christian Association has many rami- fications, one of which Is mentioned in recent issue of Mines and Min ing" a prominent technical journal. The article referred to deals with the mining institutes which have been held under the auspices of the Association in the bituminous coal district, and refers to it's shtension to anthracite regions.
 Bisbee has a '. NJ. c. A., and is in mining district, and the establish ment of such an institute as this has been up for consideration by those in control of the local Association sey- eral times In fact, it was stated in an interview that it was extremely probable that as soon as operations were resumed in the surrounding camps and things financially began to clear, such an institute, to be par ticipated in by neighooring associa- tions and devoted to the mining in dustries of this territory, would be established
 In the bituminous region some ten or twelve institutions were held in centers during the spring, summer and fall of 1907. The general plan of these institutes was meeting in the afternoon for the discussion of pa- pers. social session and a supper at about o'clock. followed by after dinner speeches devoted to various phases of educationzt work in con nection with mining. Classes in meth ods of mining and kindred subjects were conducted.

GETTING UNDER WAY . FOR REAL BUSINESS
Douglas Chamber of Commerce Will Soon Be Ready to Boost
 SmeIter City.

Tie Douglas Chamber of Commerce and Mines is rapidly getting under way and within few days will be ready to, get down to real business. The secre- tary and board of directors put in busy day yesterday renting an office and purchasing furniture.
 The chamber will occupy an office in the Gadsden Hotel, opening in the lobby, immediately in front of the desk and facing Eleventh street. It is the. most desirable location in the city, in as much as 1t will enable all visitors to the city an opportunity of securing re- liable and accurate information con cerniDg the city and it's resources, with the least possible inconvenience; also the secretary will be in position to meet visitors as they come into the city.
 Secretary GerhaTt hopes to be in shape to receive visitors in his new office on Saturday and states that he desires all members of the chamber, as well as everyone else, and particu- larly all visitors to the city, to make. the secretary's office their headquaI- ] ters. He states that he wishes every resident of Douglas to appoint himself a committee of one to see that every visitor to the city makes call on the chamber of commerce
 The directors will hold a meeting on Saturday afternoon for the purpose of reviewing the rules and bylaws of the chamber, which are being prepared ] by Judge Cass, and sometime during the first part of next week general meeting of the entire membership will be called for the purpose of adopting the bylaws.
 1 Regarding the prospects for Doug las, Secretary Gerhart said:
 'T am highly pleased with Douglas and the people of Douglas, whom I have met during my two days resi- dence in the city. I have been most kindly received by everyone and no stone seems left unturned to afford me every assistance possible. Every one seems more than anxious that the chamber of commerce and mines make a success. If the Douglas people will do as much to make every stranger who comes to the city feel at home as they have me, can foresee nothing but success for our chamber and the city,
