Exceedingly rich in ore value is the placer or stream tin that has been found in the Hot Springs district. The ere is a tin oxide and is known as cas- siterite, and contains small percent age of tungsten. Owing to the peculiar affinity of tin and tungsten, the com bination is very hard To separate; hence the tungsten is detriment to instead of enhancing the value of the ore, says an exchange. l.. M. Drury, Fairbanks assayer, recently made two separate analyses of the mineral, and both showed value of 6l per cent With the present market value of tin 47 cents a pound, the ore would aver age we'll over S400 a ton in metal, From this, of course, would be sub. tracted the cost of freight and smelt- ing, which would leave a handsome revenue when mined iD quantities.
 Ruby City is on the south bank of the Yukon, about B miles below Fort Gibbon, where Ruby creek enters the river. Gold was found there some years ago, but no great amount was taken out. Ruby creek is short and heads in low range of slate hills. Recently gold has been found along the creeks on the slopes opp Ruby. These creeks flow into the Solatna river, which swings northeast and joins the Yukon 30 miles or thernabout above Ruby creek. Good pay has been opeued on Long creek, Big Dome and on Fox gulch During the first week in July gold bearing quartz was found on Ruby creek itself, one mile south of the town. The vein was located by Henry MatsoD, M. B. Peterson and Henry Weir. It is large and decom- posed on the surface, but yields gold in the pan. As there has been no thought of quartz, there is no powder and drill steel in Ruby. The vein has only been opened with picks and shovels when sufficiently weathered.- Mining Science.
 That Fairbanks, Alaska, is just en- tering what will prove to be the richest gold producing period in it's history is the expressed opinion of Joseph R. Mathews, chief engineer of the North ern Commercial Company. To assist in testing the quartz around Fair banks, Mir. Mathews said the citizens bore the cost of constructing small stamp mill, in which miners could have their ore crushed and tested. "Out of 158 tons secured from lodges, which were milled when l was in charge of the stamp" said Mir. Mat hews, "there was produced $l5,O94 worth of gold ore. That averages al- most S10O to the ton, and it must be remem bered that considerable part of the ore probably ran no more than SS or S9, so that much of it ran above S2OO a ion. The people in the interior of Alaska are sick and tired of the coal mines and carpet baggers in South eastern Alaska. We would like to have some mining Legislation that would prohibit locating claims by power of attorney and prevent these associa- tions from getting all the ground" Mir. Mathews says he visited the new gold strike on Ruby and Long creeks, about 100 miles down the Yukon from Fort Gibbon, and that prospects were very bright. Anticipating rush in there this winter, he says the company he represents has already established a trading post on Ruby creek.

"More Aids to Navigation Demanded for Alaska Waters" is the subject of an interesting article appearing in the current issue of the Railway and Ma rine News. The publication gives a list of seventy-nine vessels lost on the Alaska coast from 1878 to 1911 and as- serts that S6,71O.OOO has been paid out by underwriters for total losses and that sum nearly as great has been paid out for vessels that have met with disaster aud subsequently, salved and restored to their owners.
 The Skagway Alaskan says: With the real estate taxes being paid into the town treasury in good sized sums, and Skagway's portion of the Federal tax having arrived, Treasurer Britt re- ports the town poke a very fat one at present. Taxes from all sources, amouuting to 87l72O, were received during the month of September, and the blow back from the Federal mer- cantile and saloon licenses being 567O124. The treasury at the begin ming of the present. month contained 57, ,15398.

MAKING NEEDLES.
Various Processes Through Which the
Steel Wire Must Pass.

Needles are made from steel wire.
which is first cut by shears from coils
into the length of the needles to be
made. After a bath Of such bits as
have been cut out they are placed in a
furnace, then rolled until perfectly
straight. Next the needle pointer
takes up a dozen or so of the wires
and rolls them between his thumb and
finger, with their ends on a turning
grindstone. first one and then the 9th
er being ground. The little steel bob
bins are next fed into machine which
flattens and cutters the heads. after
which the eyes are punched.
They are now complete needles. but
rough and easily bent. Careful heat
ing and sudden cooling gives them the
necessary temper, and nothing remains
but to give them their final polish. On
a coarse cloth needles are spread to
the numbeS of 10000 or 50,O00 Emery
dust is strcwed over them, oil is sprin-
kled on and soft soap daubed over the
cloth, whiC h. rolled tightly, is thrown
into a pot with others, where it rolls
| about for twelve hours or more.
When taken from this friction bath
| the needles require only rinsing il
| clean hot water, when they are ready
| to be sorted and packed. = Chicago

Vessels That Failed.

There was a time when it was be-
lieved possible to prevent seasickness
by means Of specially constructed YES
sells, says the London Chronicle. The
Calais-Douvres. a twin ship. was used
on the channel service for many years.
Great things were expected from this.
but she proved a slow boat. and her
passengers were by no mans immune
from seasickness. Another attempt In
this direction was the Castalia. In
which the saloon was suspended like
a hammock with view to minimizing
the pitching and rolling. This turned
out an utter failure. If the rolling
was less than in ordinary vessels the
pitching was quite as bad and. more
over, the swinging mechanism occa
sionally stuck. After very few trips
across the channel the Castalia wa'
taken off the service.

RESTAURANTS.
They Really Had Their Origin In the
First French Revolution.


First French Revolution.
The restaurant of the present time
had its origin in the first French revo-
luton, toward the close of the eight
eenth century. And the reputation of
the French for good cookery End the
delicacy of taste in eating as we'll as
in producing toothsome dishes and
morsels dates practically from the
same time.
That revolution meant ruin to many
noble families, and their downfall
meant ruin also for their chefs, so
some of the latter hit upon the idea
of opening houses where dainties pre-
pared by their skilled hands could be
obtained. If the experiment succeed
ed the chefs would be as well off as
when in service. The idea was pleas
ing to the public, the restaurants did
O large business, and the proprietors
had no reason to regret the revolution
from monetary point of view.
Then it occurred to others that the
| people might appreciate being educat'
| ed up to this fine cookery, and many
books on the culinary art were pub
lished and sold well. One of the mos
noted of these was 1.-The GOurman Al
manack," which appeared in 179S.
