On returning from a recent trip DR.. +.
Turner, the physician. scientist and
traveller. who has won fame and world
wide renown through his writings and
esientifie resources. accorded an inter-
view to press representatives who were
astonished by his loss of more than
100 pounds OF excessive fat since they
last saw him. They found IL difficult
indeed, TO recognize in the slender. mus
cular and perfectly proportioned form
Of DIR. Turner today, the same man whom
only q few months ago they knew as
semi-invalid. SO enormously fat that he
could hardly walk.
When questioned concerning his health
and the remarkable change In his appear
ance Dr. Turner said that neither illness,
medicines. starvation. dieting. nor strenu-
/ Gus exercise had caused him TO lose so
much excess weight In fact he said that
fatty degeneration had eaten into his
vital organs to such an extent that u
would have been foolhardy to even at

SEWARD PENINSULA
 OUTPUT FALLS SHORT

Tn" gold production of Seward Peninsula for 1911 is estimated to have a value of S3, 100000; that of 1910 had q value of $3,- 500,O00. In view of the fact that inc winter operations of 1910 produced almost a million dollars worth of gold, while those of 1911 probably had a value of less than $2O0, ,000, the output of the sum- mcr was far greater than in the preceding year. It. seems prob able, therefore, that the pcninsu- la may have reached it's minimum gold production for some time to come.
 As in 1910. the important fra- lure of the mining industry was the building and operating of drcdgrs. Eighteen drrdgcs were operated for a part of the whole of the season. of which five ware built during inc summer of 1911. or these, seven were in the Nome region, seven in the Solomon riv- CT basin, five in the Council dis trict. In addition to these. five more drcdgeS were in process of of which three are in the Nome region, and one each in the Council and KOugarOk dis tricts. While dredging was the most important industry, other phases of mining were not neg lected. A number of hydraulic plants were operated in the Kou- garok, Nome and Fairhavcn pre- .cincts, and there were in the az grcgate many small plants ill op- cration. An important feature of the years mining was the fact that large number of the .dredgeS continued operations un- til the first week in November.
 Interest iii the KObuk region ap- pears tO have somewhat subsided. A number of claims were worked in the Squirrel River region, but, SO far as known, no new diScOv- cries of importance were made. There was a little mining in the SEungnak region of the upper kobuk and a $500 nugget was found on Dahl crrek.--FrOm United States Geological Report

ALAskA'S IMMEDIATE NEEDS.

Chambers of commerce. of the Pacific coast cities have united in urging upon congress prompt ac- tion covering the more impera- tive needs of Alaska along non controversial lines. Attention has been so concentrated upon the railway and coal land Situa- tion that other matters or equal importance are being overlooked. Alaska needs railways and better land laws, but, because thcle is dispute as to how these needs are to be met, is no reason why the present diSgrac2ful condition of the Alaskan coaSSe.,aS regards lighthouses and other aids Co nav igatiOn, should continue. This past Sumcmr one of the steamers had occasion to run out of it's regular course for a short dis tance in the immediate vicinity Of Silka. which. it is well iO re- member, has been a center of civ iliZaIion since I199, and discov- cred that the coast was still un- surveyed! Nnl only the coast, but inc land. Is without surveys, and while q beginning has been made hy authorizing the United States Geological Survey to take up the work. il remains true that settle mrnI is practically prohibited in most of the territory by the fact thai the land iS still unSurvcycd. Gable tolls arc high, wagon roads are few. the salmon are being tiShrd out without adequate pro vision for the future, and in many other ways Alaska is being neg lrctrh and exploited rather than ralionally developed. The Alas kanS deserve hrilrr things.

Nothing Extraordinary.

 The American, accustomed to bursts of wondcrmcnt and en- lhuSiasm, was not little aston ishcd to see his Teutonic friend stand and gaze stolidly minute after minute upon that roaring cataract, without cvincing the fainIcst sign of emotion.
 Finally, unable any longer to conceal his chagrin and disap- poinimcni, the American turned lo his companion and asked {: Don't you think Ihai's a won dcrful sighi?"
