The laws recently passed by con- gress under which the district attor- Deys in Alaska are prohibited from pracsicing law, but at the same time allows the subordina,es in the office the privilege which is denied to the chief, is about as practicable as the mining inspector law which was pro- posed, but did not pass, at the last session of congress. This bill provi- ded one mining inspector for the ter ritory Of Alaska, with head office at Juneau, and he was instructed to immediately make personal investi- gasiou of the grounds on which scci- dents occurred. IL is, perhaps. needless to remark that the bill did not furnish ths inspector with flying machine or other device with which he migb. fly from Juneau to Candle creek or the head of the Koyukuk in time to secure au ante-murten statement, or to take notes on the conditions of the ground immediately after the accident.

'interurban" systems using electric ity, but all railroads are interurban, so far as that goes.
 The Review of Reviews recently published something about the great increase in the manufacture and use of brass bedsteads, which means a large consumption of copper. Iron bedsteads are very common now, but the greater beauty of the brass has brought it into style, and the cost is in the workmanship and marketing rather than in the materials. Brass doorknobs, chandeliers and fittings of all kinds meet one's eye at every turn. There is just enough of beauty in the copper alloys to give them precedence over other possible metals.
 One can go down the line of metals manufactures and easily satisfy him self of the rapidly growing consump- tion of the red Detal-a product which
 is being mined now at rate double that of the beginning of the century, or only hve years ago. Indeed, the development Of the copper mining and manufacturing business is one of the industrial miraclels Of our times. Mining Record.
