He told me she had made quite a
success of it before their marriage.
She had not followed it alone for pas
time, but, imbued with that spirit of
independence which is becoming so
general among our American women,
she had wished to demonstrate that,
with her own hands, she could make a
living Independent of the resources
she possessed. She had branched

Sea FIeas.

The deep sea-naturalist, when pre-
pairing the skeletons of small birds
and fishes for mounting, calls the sea
fieas to his aid. These active little
crustaceans swarm on the bottom of
the sea, in both tropical and temperate
waters and are possessed of voracious
appetites. So the naturalist, after re-
moving the skin and loose flesh from
the specimen, ties it in coarse net
and lowers it into the sea until 1t
hangs just clear of the bottom. 1t is
Immediately discovered by the sea fleas,
and countless myriads of the little
creatures come swarming to the work
of denuding the bones. In a short
time the skeleton is clean and ready
to be packed or mounted. Care must
be taken to haul it up at just the right
moment, as If left too long to the sea
feas they will attack and devour the
small bones as soon as they have fin
ished the soft parts. A little watch
fulness on the part OF the naturalist
will prevent this, however. and the
tiny scavengers of the deep will save
him lot of unpleasant work.

NEW YORK MILLIONAIRE
 VISITS KERN CASTLE

That the popularity of Castle Kern is growing is evidenced by the num- Der of tourists who visited that scen- ic resort during the past week. A. mong the prominent people who mad the ascent to the castle, were a num- Der of the party who accompanied George w. Perkins, all of whom were very enthusiastic and went into costa sies of delight over the beautiful viws afforded by the elevation to which they had climbed, and with one accord expressed their pleasure and surprise at tine cOmf.rt and conveniences afforded them at the hands of the attendants at the chalet. Mir. Perkins stated that he thought that within the next two or three years a tramway would be nee ssary to accommodate the tourists which are bound to come in crowds r.. see the Castle and surrounding country. Before making the descent the party made their way up to Scen- ic Park Bridge, where number of photographs of the Castle were taken.
 When asked as to the accommoda' tions at the Castle, MT. Jos. F. Swat onsky stated that they were in posi- ton to accommodate about twenty, comfortably, and that the rates were very moderate.

 Tn this section, which is situated on the Klehini river, nothing more than the necessary assessment work tc keep the claims in good standing was undertaken by any but the Alas ka Iron Company, which. under the management of Walter S. Brown, has acquired interest in several properties and is systematically prospecting the same by hand and core drills, and in every instance with the most en- couraging results. This company has packed (on pack horses) a gasoline air drill plant up to its mine and packed out two tons of ore, which was shipped to the Tyee smelter, and from which the returns were 25.36 ped cent, copper and 42.73 oz. of silver. Development work was being prose cuted there this winter and a tunnel was being driven with the intention of placing ore on the dump for ship ment next summer when the wagon road reaches an available point, but a sudden snow slide having covered up the tunnel with the men in it, led them to think that, although they es- caped in that instance without injury, they might not be so fortunate an- other time, and they decided to close down until they could take proper pre- cautions against and prepare for all such contingencies.

Judge Royal A. Gunnison of Juneau arrived in Haines on the last Cottage City and took the stage for Porcupine Thursday. Judge Gunnison spent Fri day at the Porcupine Gold Mining company's property and returned to Haines Saturday, leaving for Skagwa Monday with Major Richardson of the Alaska Road Commission.
 ''I think the Porcupine mine has great future" said Judge Gunnison to a representative of the Pioneer Press. The existence of pay dirt in large quantities has been estab- lished. I believe the mine can be worked for years to come and will prove one of the largest producers in the district. The overhead trolley is now installed and Is expected to near ly double the amount of dirt handled daily. Both night and day shifts are working"
 Judge Gunnison stated that If a rail road is put through into the interior,

 "The failure of the other parties who held bonds on number of pro. perties in that District to complete, was a disappointment to the owners, but the owners have moved for Crown Grants for as many of their claims as they could get surveyed this sea son, and some, at least, are preparing to mine and ship their best grade ore as soon as the wagon road is suffic- iently far advanced to enable them to do so.
