Surface Indications

How to tell from the looks of the surface where to prospect for quartz and where not to prospect, is ques- tion which is being discussed at length in the mining journals at the present time. It is quite generally agreed that chances of finding pay ore shoots are better under ridges or hills than under gulches. A gulch indicates a break in the formation, faulting, contact of two formations, or soft spot in a single formation. In Goldfield, accord ing to one scientific writer, there is not a known pay shoot that continues across gulch, because in every known case the gulch coincides with fault in the formation. On the other hand, there are instances where the ore was deposited before the fault occurred, and the displaced continuation of the ore shoot can be picked up somewhere under a gulch. There are, of course, exceptions always.
 It makes difference, too, in what country you are prospecting Prospect ing in Alaska is one thing, and pros- pecting in Nevada is entirely another. In the desert regions of Nevada all the different formations of an entire noun. tain range are exposed; the veins usu- ally outcrop and are easily found and prospected on the surface. in Alaska the rock is covered with earth and un derbrush and thick growth of moss, which conceals the formation and re- quires a vast amount of labor on the part of the prospector, work which is already done ca the desert regions. However, the same general rule is be- lieved by mining men to apply in one region as in another. There is always a reason for gulch, and the reason is usually unfavorable to the continuation of an ore shoot.-EX.

According to eye witnesses, the battle was finished when MT. Beth's second, squaw, entered into the melee. The witnesses state amongst other things, that the squaw "came up and gave Evans 8 powerful uppercut between the eyes and put him out. Evans begged piteously for mercy, but no oue interfered, and the squaw pro- ceeded to gather up what was left of him, Evans has now asked for return match with the privilege of having squaw for a second"

The Valdez Prospector, describing the effect of earthquake on animals and birds, says: The most singular of che many amusing incidents witnessed while the disturbance was greatest is reported in connection with flock of ravens which roost near the brewery. An observer who had the opportunity of witnessing the ravens says their ter TOT seems to be as complete as that of animals. When the shock was first felt the birds which were flying about darted like an arrow to the nearest tree for protection, where they gripped the branches and were whipped about with the tree.

EneIish a PuzzIer

What tremendous task a foreigner has in learning to speak English. It is one of the most difficult languages to learn, especially as the same word has so many meanings.
 The word see, for example, has four teen, lead eighteen, and draw thirty. two different meanings.
 Just as an illustration, consider the perplexity of persevering Frenchman over the meaning of the word "fast."

 "Yes, he is fast horse" :.
 "Ah, pardon, monsieur, but your friend say he make fast his horse and he tie him to post so he notgo at all."
 "Very true; he is made fast by being tied"
 "Ah, Gat cannot be. He cannot gc fast. But what yoa call man that keeps fast?"
 "Oh, he is a good man that does not eat on fast day"
 "But have seen one bon vivant, who eat and drink and ride and do every zing. ze people say he is a bad man he is very fast"

Col, w. P. Richardson has written Lieut.. Weeks, of the Alaska road com mission, from Washington, stating he has almost recovered from his recent accident. The colonel writes that his estimate of S125,OO0 for road work in Alaska this year has been approved and has gone to the senate. The letter confirms the wire received by Deputy Marshal Geo. Goshaw from the colonel stating that he would return to Alaska and would in all probability not be re. quired to join his regiment in Novem- Der next. Col.

The Risen Christ's Easter Message

Jerusalem. On this Easter morn from Beth
any's study overlooking the Capital city OF our
nation I would call upon all the followers OF
the Christ to obey him and enter into the
Masters work of winning tho world for their
Lord. As he commanded, so I would urge that
you obey his call to evangeltzs the world Win
the gospel, enlist disciples for his service and
educate all believers to be obedient to whatso-
ever our Lord has commanded. The Christian
conquests of the centuries. the marvellous mis-
sionary awakening Of Christendorn preparing
to conquer the world for the glory OF CHRIST
by the conservation of men and means and by
the cooperation of the Christian forces under
the leadership Of the Holy Spirit is one OF the
many modern testimonies Of the power OF the
risen Lord that is leading the hosts OF God on
to complete the triumph Of Christ when he re-
vealed on resurrection morn his power over
life and death.
The religion Of Jesus contains the only nope
for the world. His Is the only religion tnat
meets the needs Of all men. He Is the only
founder Of a religion that has risen from the
dead and offers everlasting life TO all. Let us
consecrate ourselves around his empty tomb
this Easter morn to help him save the world
by carrying the gospel Of his resurrection TO
all that are lost.-Rey. Hugh T. Stevenson.

The message of Easter Is identical with the
truth that each Lords day proclsims to men
the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The cenIal
thought of the apostles ministry was the
resurrection Of their Lord and Saviour. IL mas
been the dominant theme of every gospel mes
sage. The risen Christ's first communication
was sent to his discouraged disciples that they
might rejoice because he was risen from the
dead.
Does Easter find you discouraged! have
you made a bad Investment OF your lie ana
labor? Are you disturbed as to the future!
Has death terror for you? Then let us rejoice,
for Christ has won a victory for US. Let us
give thanks because he is risen. His resurrec'
ton contains the promise of our endless life.
1t is also prophetic of the Christians resurrec-
ton when Jesus shall come again. The hopes
of eternal life should inspire us with a dynamic
force by which we can, through the presence
and power of our risen Lord, rise above the
difficulties, discouragements and defeats OF this
present age. His resurrection has solved our
problem, removed sin and burdens that nave
filled us with despair, and turned our apparent
defeats into one glorious triumph. The gospei
of the resurrection proclaims a victory OF re-
generation over degeneration, OF construction
over reformation. Of life over death. that
Christ has secured for every creature that will
believe ON him as their risen Saviour.
To the disciple that denied him early on
Easter morn Christ sent a message that re-
called Peter to his service. Have you been
following Christ afar off? Has your life been
married by sin? Have you denied your LORD!
II so, Easter has a message for you. Repent
return to your Lord and then you Will rejoice
that he Ia risen and he will restore unto you
the joy of your salvation.
The last message that the Master gave to
his disciples was delivered near Bethany, while
they were still In sight of the capital city OF

Easter, but her pride in her new nnery can
usually be relied upon to help her combat the
fey winds. ., . =
J A movement was started some years ago to
induce the women Of the United States to unite
in robbing Easter Sunday of its significance as
q field day" for the new fashions. According
to the new mandate 1t was not to be consid-
cred good form" for a woman to appear on
Easter Respondent In fresh additions to her
wardrobe. She might display her new treas
res-for of what use would nice clothes be
to a woman If she could not show them-on
the Sunday preceding Easter or on the Sunday
following Easter or at any other time, but the
custom was to be decried Of turning Easter In
to a grand review for marshaling the newest
products Of the dressmakers, the bootmakers
and the milliners.
The new plan was all very well in theory,
but the persons who suggested 1t evidently did
not figure on the persistency with which the
daughters of the republic can cling to q cher
ished prerogative. The American women SIM
ply declined to abandon their Easter fashion
parade and consequently the seasons surprises
In new raiment continue to be as indispensable
adjuncts to a regulation Easter observance as
are the Easter lilies and the Easter eggs. The
credit for the preservation OF the traditions OF
the Easter fashion parade Is given to the
women because it Is the members OF the fair
sex who both as spectators and participants
are the most numerous and most enthusiastic
supporters of the function. At the same time
II would be idle to i%nsinuate that many OF the
opposite sex have not succumbed to the fnhu-
ence of the Easter dress parade. Among the
male contingent there is a brave representa-
ton of spring overcoats and spring suits, that
make their appearance for the first time, but
the one preeminent touch which proclaims the
occasion Is the array Of new collars and ties.
Some men there may be, who, because OF
prejudice or pocketbook, will not indulge them
selves in the new conceits OF the tailors on
Easter, but there are none who need torego
the indispensable OF q novelty in n~eckwear.
As has been said, fashions parade on Easter
marches up and down the entire land. There
are some famous Easter fashion parades in the
United States, notably the one on Fifth ave-
nue., New York, and the one on the Boardwalk
at Atlantic City. but there is scarce a city or
town or village from Maine to California or
from Michigan to Texas that does not enjoy its
own Easter panorama-particularly II the COM
munity is not so small that there are no church
services to act as an incentive to draw forth
the birds of plumage. And just here. 1t may
be noted in wonder, that such is the perfection
OF our modern system OF fashion distribution
that the Easter parade in the moe remote
town affords proof that her feminine residents
are little behind New York and even Paris in
the main essentials OF the new styles"
While on this phase Of the subject 1t may
be remarked that very few OF the fashionable
paraders in the Easter throngs realize how far
reaching have been the preparations for this
