klaska's Twenty Million

In 1880 gold was produced in Alaska to the value of S2o,oo
 In 1909 the amount mined was val ued at s2o, GOO, 900. In 1888 silver was first produced in Alaska to the value of s2, ,I8I.; in 1909 the value was s76,Io4. In 1902 copper was first produced to the value of s41,4 oo. in 1909 the value reached s53o 211. These and other statistics ot pro Iuction are shown by Alfred II. Brooks, of the United States Geo. ,gical Survey, in Gold, Silver, Copper, Lead and Zinc in the Western States and Territories, ," published as a seprate chapter of the volume Mineral Resources of the United States in 1eo9,o
 Placer and lode mining of gold in Alaska in 19oo,' says Geologist Brooks, showed marked progress over that in 1908, both in the act ual gold production and in the ad- va1ces made in preparation for more extensive operatlons.'
 "The copper output was less than in 1908, chiefly because the low price of this metal did not en- courage mining, but nevertheless much was accomplished toward the preparation of large future in crease in copper productions" " These final figures for 1909 are but slightly different from the prelim- mary estimates made by MT. Brooks nearly a year ago. Tie hgur-s of 1910 are now at hand a d the report for the year will soon be issued by the Survey.

Lack of Coal 6 RaRaicaq.

The delay in iusuing patents to coal lands retarded the industries in 1909, especially in mining, say MT, Brooks. 'The high price of coal along the Alaskan seaboard, due to the on-development of the coal fel Is, places a serious handi- cap on the mining industry. It ha, also had an indirect effect on mir ing by retarding railway construc- ton"
 TEcre is no doubt, Mir. Brool s further states, thst the present mad equate mineral-land laws are a ser ious handicap to placer mining. They tend to disoourag the bona fde miner and prospector to the ad- vantage of the specu!ator, whose particular aim Is to obtain control of large areas of prospective placer ground wethout any real attempt at development.
 Fairbanks tie Largest Producer.
 The Fairbanks placer district is s i'll the largest producer of gold, Seward peninsula being second and the lode mines of the Juneau dis trict third. ketchikan still leads in copper production. Continua- tion of construction on the Copper River Railway stimulated prospect ing in the Chitna district.
 About three-quarters of the gold produced in Alaska comes from the placer deposits, according to Mir. Brooks. This ratio will not, how ever, continue, for the production from auriferous lodes is increasing much more rapidly than that from - (Continued next week.

FANCY M0H|AIR SUITS
REPLACE Linen ONES
They Are Especially Suitable
For Summer Outing Wear,

A fashion authority says that mo-
hair suits are likely to replace the pop
ular linen ones. There is this much TO
be said concerning the advantage of
mohair over linen-that it does not
wrinkle or crush easily. 1t stands a
long strain without showing 1t, and
when the coat is unlined it Is SO light
and so easily folded that 1t can be car
ried In a small suit case without trou-
BILE resulting.
1t is highly advocated for travelling.
especially for those who are taking
long trips where it is difficult TO have
ones linen suits pressed in the various
hotels and where one needs to wear
the same coat suit for days at time.
The fancy white weave is supplant-
ing serge to q certain extent this sum-
mer for dressy coat suits, which will
be worn with white 6llet lace blouses
and large picture hats in straw, or the
vivid flower turbans Nlat are holding
their own against all newcomers
Manufacturers say orders for mohair
have tripled the orders for linen suits.
This is attributed to a demand for a
change and more particularly to the
original and attractive weave which
the new mohairs show. They present
little In common with the glazed plain
surfaces of other days. There Is a
heavy diagonal twill. which makes the
material look like peau de sole. and.
by the way, the manufacturers prom
Use revival Of this strong, serviceable
silk for fall.
The new mohair is very much like 1t.
but 1t is lighter in weight and has a
different finish. There are also mo-
hairs with herringbone stripes In a
slightly rougher weave. This kind. In
white. is especially good for top coats.
1t is being made up into the same kind
Of coat that we once dad In pongee
and rajah.
When the mohair coat Is thickly
lined 1t instantly becomes warmer than
linen. but many of the new coats are
unlined, with four inch facing around
all edges Of some brilliant contrasting
color. or something in broad stripes.
This Is rather clever trick of the de-
sgners. 1t minimizes the weight and
heat and provides an effective and col
orful finish to the inside.
| A suit Of white mohair cannot carry
these color facings, because they cast
shadow on the outside surface In
other words. they show through no
matter how faint the color chosen.
White satin is chosen, however, for
the white coats. It is cut ON the bias.

AN ELUSIVE BONE.
Luz Is Said to Be Indestructible, bat II
Is Hard 10 Locate.

rs nara 10 Locate.
Much scholarship and anatomical
knowledge have been employed from
time to time in efforts to identify the
bone luz, said by ancient Hebrew
writers TO be the nucleus from which
the body is reconstructed at the resur-
rection. There are many marvellous
stories of the indeStruetibillty of luz,
and the bone has been located by rival
claimants to the honor of discovering
1t i'll various parts of the human skele-
ton.
The most careful searching of the last
published and amplcst treatise on este
ology will not result in the discovery
of the bone called luz 1t will be nee
essary TO go to the Frankfort edition
of the "Theatrum Anatomicum' of
Caspar Bauiinus QG2n for q descrip-
ton: 1T is stated by Hebrew writers
to be bone which cannot be destroy
ed by fire, water or any other element
nor be broken or bruised by any force.
Its site is in the spine from the eight
eenth vertebra TO the femur.
I'VE read that the Emperor Hadrian
once asked Rabbi Joshua, the son
of Chanm, how God would resurrect
man in the world TO come. He made
answer. From the bone luz in the
spinal column When Hadran asked
him how he came by this knowledge
and how he could prove it the Rabbi
Joshua produced the bone SO that the
emperor could see it. When placed in
water it could not be softened; it was
not destroyed by fire. nor could 1t be
ground by any weight; when placed on
an anvil and struck with hammer
the anvil was broken in sunder. bat
the bone remained intact" Hleronymus
Magius represents that according to
the Talmudists. the real bone is near
the base of the skull, whether it be in
the base itself or in the spine. VesaliuS
writes that this ossicIe is described by
the Arabs as resembling chick pea in
size and shape. and Cornelius Agrippa
describes it as "magnitudine ciceris
mundati' (the size of n shelled peal.

There is a general and widespread
notion, which the curious Investigator

the world will last 5000 years from
the date of its creation. An inscrp-

reads as follows: Elijah, the prophet.
said that the world had existed 1000
years before the law was given from
Adam to Mosesl. would exist 1000
years under the Mosaic law from
