BLousEs FOR THE SPRING
Waists Of FouIard Silk Among the
New Things Suggested for
the Season.

Among the novelties and new things
suggested for spring are waists Of
foulard silk. They are made up usual
ly of soft spring colorings in the new
and fashionable printed designs, and
frequently have tiny yokes Of white
or delicately tinted laces or nets with
wee undersleeves of the same fllmy
fabrics.
Lingerie blouses will, of course,
have their devoted admirers and fill
a considerable portion of our shirt.
waist boxes. Marquisettes and voilea
are often used in their making, as, Of
course, are the more familiar batistes
and lawns.
Tailored blouses often open down
the side, and hand embroidered makes
them a little less severe in style. Gro.
cheted buttons make delightful fasten'
ings.
With US still Is the wash-silk blouse
In the well-remembered striped ef
fects. These may be many colors, and
the blouses are usually rather tailored

SHIPS LOADING FOR ALASKA
MINING CAMPS.
INDIVIDUAL OUTFITS GIVE WAY
TO HEAVY CAR0oEe OF MIN
ING MACHINERY.
Bound for Gold Camps Of Cordova,
Valdez and Seward, Where
Booms Are On.

Significant changes In the kind Of
development Alaska is receiving are
Interestingly reflected on the Pacific
coast this spring. Instead of multi
tude of individual outfits the steam
ship companies are receiving consign-
ments OF milling and lode mining
machinery in great quantities. A
number of big dredges for the han
ding Of low-grade placer ground are
Included and. of course. the usual
cargoes of supplies. These largely
take the place of individual outfits as
the Alaskan miner now generally
buys in the north at the trading post
nearest the field he Is going into.
The heavy mining machinery Is
generally consigned to southwestern
Alaska-Cordova, Valdez or Seward
each Of which points is having its
first real lode mining boom.
Valdez began last year with the
sensational gold output from the
Cliff mine, whose two-stamp mill pro-
duced 100000 in the season. In
stead Of one mill there will be at
least seven there this year.
Seward is headquarters for several
good gold lode camps. Beginning
within two miles of town they ex-
tend far up into the great Susitna
basin, much of which is still unpros-
pected. The leading camp is Willow
Creek, in the heart of the basin,
which produced 100000 with FIVE
stamps last year.
Cordova not only has a promising
gold lode camp of its own-The Nc
Kinley Lake section-but now has a
completed railway to the heart of the
great Chitina copper region. There
will be much prospecting and devel-
opment all along the 200 miles of this
railroad and beyond 1t in absolutely
new territory. Much development of
a large sort will also be done by
capital on established properties
There is no doubt of there being a
boom and a big influx of population
to this region. 1t is already on.
Even Congresses refusal to lend
Alaska a much needed helping hand
Is not to be quite fatal, 1t would
seem.

Pat In possession of the chrOnomet-

act spot where the ship Is at that
moment. He calculates the longitude
and the latitude with absolute correct
ness. The Importance Of this exacti-
tude lies In the fact that 1t allows OF
the correction OF serious errors. The
best marine chronometers In use are
subject, after a few weeks or months
OF navigation, to variations OF two or
three seconds or more, and each error
of a second In time corresponds to
the exact position Of the ship. A
metre is slightly more than yard.
