The Pathetic Side

The Review said that the intelligent portion of the
public have long ago learned that these fakes
and that they do enter into them and the
today the least posted-hence the poorer class
He says that matter how legitimate the
advertised the poor people go work to solve the puzzles
the dots draw the faces do whatever else
suggested believing that they going to get something
and when they have the formidable gold decorated bond
coupon in their hands they look upon it medium of
exchange.
He referred particularly to one house which had been
running heavily advertised contest in which large num-
Der of poor people became intensely interested.
When the great and the coupons dis
trbuted many the holders called upon the local dealers
to ascertain further particulars, and there not in the
entire lot prospect which could be called live one, and
yet the statesmen and managers had to stand up and tell
those poor deuded victims that the bonds were not worth
fare home.
One young girl with tears streaming down her face SAID
weepne that if she could get enough out OF her bond to
send her to school she would be satisfied.
Surely there is pathetic side to this business and 1t
speak we'll for the music trade that suc metods
are adopted to win piano patronage.
In the end have but resuto destroy the con-

will mean that instead of increasing the piano output great
curtailment will result. ~

The P.-L. of October 18th says: With poet as captain, the new tug Calcium made her first appearance in Elliott bay yesterday. She has been converted from the passenger boat Florence, which used to run between Juneau and Douglas, and belongs to the Tacoma and Roche Rarbor Lime company. She will be employed in towing lime laden scows around Puget sound. Capt. Jas. J. Doyle is noted for his ballads of life at sea, many of which appeared in the Post.Intelligencer For a good many years he was a resident of Alaska and many of the poems deal with life in the north.

 What is known as the Klondike placer mining district has produced over Sl5O,0O0,G00 in gold since 1898, and mining experts estimate the amount yet to be mined equal to that already produced. However, as the remaining gravel is of lower grade the work must be done by machinery, and for this purpose 20 dredges are ia operation this season, as well as number of hy- draulie plants. There are tenSlarge mining cem pauies operating here, the principal one having 10 dredges aud large hydraulic plant, and it has in~ vested over S17 ,OOOD00 in the district There are also six incorporated con- panies operating for quartz in the dis trict, but little has been milled, al- though some high grade ore has been found. The gold production of the dis trict for 1909 was S3,595, ,985, an increase over 1908 of S3O7,321, and the indica- tions are that the production in 1916 will exceed that of 1909. This gold with the exception of small quantity sent to the new Canadian mint, was all shipped to the United States, princi- pally by registered mail. Rich de- posits of copper ore have been discoV~ cred in tRe southern part of the dis trict, which is being worked and shipped to a smelter at Tacoma, Wash. The richer ore seems to be on the White river at the Alaska-CanadiaE line, but this is not mined op account of the lack of shipping facilities. The ore extends over large territory and is claimed to be the richest in the world. 4 good grade of bituminous coal is found in various localities.

 Big gains in the shipping to Alaska in Septem Der, 1910, over September, 1908, are shown in the report of the business of the port of Seattle for the month ending September 30, 1910, is- sued recently by Port Warden G. w. Hill. The total value of exports from Seattle to all parts of Alaska was S1, ,162, TOT, while year ago it was only S1,O14,675, gain of nearly b per cent Not only did the freight traffic gain, but the number of passengers to and from Alaska shows corresponding gain. Last month 6,780 persons took passage for Alaska, while in the corres- bonding period a year ago ,472 was the numb Der.

Mir. Joslyn says the trail is boulevard and that the summer as well as the winter mails should go by the new route and would thereby save several days time to Fairbanks. At a banquet given him by the cham Der of commerce he said he believed the railroad would be running to the interior in few years and that in fifteen years it would have to be double tracked. MT. JosIyn is on his way to Washington, D. c.
 The completion of the Panama canal may enable eastern operators to deliver nigh. grade eoals on the Pacific coast at prices about the same as those that can be offered by operators in Alaska. Other competing fields will be those of Vancouver island and New South Wales. The present markets fer Alaska coal may be grouped 1nder three heads the local market, without competi- tion, about l2O,0O0 tons a year; mar ket competitive, yet favorable, about 350,0U0 tons; and a competitive market, about l,0OO000. These rough estimates indicate that Alaska coal of the better grade could perhaps And market to the extent of l 100000 tons g year. It is impossible to forecast how rapidly the market for Alaska coal may expand for it's expansion depends on the rate and amount of industrial advancement made along Che Pacific seaboard. That the demand for high-grade steaming and coking coal will increase rapidly there can be no doubt, but that Alaska fuel will be a strong competitor with some of the imported coals and also with the eastern coals after the com, pletion of the Panama canal seems Iaaually certain.-Mines and Minerals

LUMBERMEN WILL
ERECT BUILDING
viii Exhibit Southern Woods
at Cincinnati.

Cincinnati, o. L(Srccial.)- The
lumbermen of the South are showing
extraordinary diligence in the matter
OF getting out the highest class Of
examples of their products for exhi.
bition at the Ohio Valley Exposition,
which will be held in Cincinnati from
Aug. 20 to Sept. "a. The keen COM
petition between various sections OF
the South for the distinction OF pro-
ducing the highest grades OF finished
hardwoods as well as the best lum-
Der for general purposes, has given
added zest to the assembling Of the
lumber exhibit, which promises to be
one of the striking features Of the
Southern States exhibit. A special
committee has been at work for
weeks in the South. securing the
best samples Of hardwoods, general
lumber and furniture for display in
Cincinnati, and with the undoubted
result that when the Southern States
exhibit is opened for inspection in
the North hall, it will contain the
most perfect collection of woods ever
shown from this territory.
Nor have Northern lumbermen
been dilatory about bringing their
products before the Exposition
crowds. One Of the promised fea.
tpres in the forestry display will be
a two-room cottage. finished entirely
in yellow pine, this exhibit being
made by the Yellow Pine Lumber
Manufacturers association, and rep
resenting one of the most attractive
and unique displays in this portion
Of the Exposition. There also will
be installed in the Forestry exhibit a
miniature sawmill, showing how logs
are converted into the finished lum.
Der product. The indications are that
