statement in reference to the reduce

discussion has caused reduction in

Correspondence From

Seattle, June 15-Athough gold in
every form is on display in nearly ev-
cry building at the Alaska Yukon
Pa2ific exposition, the piece of gold
bearius rock from Goldfield, New,
which runs $4,000 TO the ton is
something more than an ordinary cur
icsity. This is included in the exhib-
it of the L. S. Geological survey de-
partment in the main government
building.
Included in this exhibit are cases
containing ores and fuels from ev-
cry region in the United States. The
valuable mineral rock has been pol
ished, thus bringing out clearly the
streaks of ore. All rock is tabled
and near is map of many colors,
the latter illustrating the ores in the
cases and giving data as to whether
they are easy or difficult of ac-
cess. and whether the deposits have
been worked to any great extent
The same department has in the
mines building, demonstrating room
of the mine rescue apparatus such as
is now used in the coal mines of
Pennsylvania and Virginia. 1t is Ger
man invention, but the government
experts expect soon to have some
thing better of American make.
Within the mines building may al
so be seen shelters in operation and
large displays of ores and fuels from
different sections of the northwest
There are number of miniature
mines with working models of min
ing machinery. A two-ton gold bear
ing rock and ten-ton piece of coal,

are among the curiosities to be seen.
Perhaps among the most interest
ing buildings from an exterior stand
point on the grounds are the Utah,
Arctic Brotherhood, and Fores-
try structures. The Utah building is
built to resemble house of the Pu-
eblo Indians, every detail of the ex-
terror being carried out, The For
estry and Attic Brotherhood build
ings are both of logs and built for
permanent structures.
A visitor might well spend one day
in seeing, hearing and understanding
the government building exhibit, the
most complete that Uncle Sam has
yet collected. Biograph hall in the
Hawaiian building has been fitted up
expressly for lectures and many
topics are touched upon.

less than a q cent piece at the end Of
the journey! But this writing Is neither
challenge nor defense. but simply 20 tell
Of too attentive porter on a California
train and the tragedy Of a small hat.
AL day the dust OF the Nojave desert
had been sitting through the double win
dows Of the sleeper. and all day the very,
very good black boy In uniform had tried
70 get rid Of this alkah with cloth and
feathers, but without lifting the sash. for
II is easier 10 breathe in crossing that
awful stretch OF desert with al outside
air excluded save what is filtered through
the ventilator than TO let in the heavily
dust ladened air through the windows.
However, the accumulation OF the sill
bothered dainty little bride whose Paris
toque hung on the brass hook on the
window frame. and her husband pressed
the button for the porter SO vigorously
that that individual rushed hurriedly out
from his small retreat with a duster IN
one hand, and popping the remains Of a
big green gage plum he was enjoying in
his mouth with the other. still mastcat-
ing, he got Up the double window under
orders, and began a wild brushing out
OF the dust that blew IN faster than he
could drive II back. and wanting 20
please and be thorough. and being some
what ratified at the interruption Of his
meal Of fruit. his jaws stin working on
the pitts. the porter lifted the Paris hat
and began busting that also. Slipping
the troubling plum stones into the hand
that held the brush. he gave the hat final
touch or and calmly threw It out OF
the window. and the train going forty
miles an hour. Poor creature. he in
tended 70 hurl out the stones from his
fist but used the wrong hand. and the
Paris creation went 20 decorate the land
scape, and the little. weeping bride went
% her hotel later with a handkerchief
over her head. That was a porter who
expected no tip. and his expectations
were realized. But il was not his fault
that the hat was not OF the Merry
Widow or a peach basket variety. In
that case no window would have been
wide enough 70 let Il through. and this
sad tale would not have been told.
