SUMNER s. SMITH
 SAILS SOUTHWARK

The mine inspector for Alaska, Sum- ner $. Smith. and Mrs. Smith have taken passage on the Princess May for the South. They will go direct ly to California. which was their form CT home. Mrs. Smith accompanied her husband on the last expedition to the Westward and remained at Katalla while he 4was out in the Der ing river coal fields. The work hay ing been finished they came to Ju- neau on the last trip of the North western. Mrs. Smith likes Juneau.
 Speaking of the government expe- dition into the Boring river coal fields Mir. Smith said that a preliminary survey party consisting of R. Y. Will Hams. engineer in charge, himself as assistant and two geologists, C. A. Fisher and W. R. Calvert. went over the country. seeking the most favor able deposit. After this the work was simply a matter of building trails over which to transport supplies and to bring out the coal when mined. The men. miners and workmen are high Iv praised for their work under very many physical hardships. The coal was taken comparatively near the surface and the S55 tons mined was sacked ready for shipment. Lieut.. J, Q Downey. p. A. Surgeon of the U. s navy, was with the party in the capacity of paymaster. Everything was in his charge after Mir. Williams and Mir Smith had gotten the coal mined. Lieut.. Downey went south on the last trip of the Northwestern. lt is probable that the coal is now be ing sledded to KataIla for shipment
 Mir. Sumner says it is a very high grade coal and that analysis of the product mined by the party cheeks uT with a similar analysis preyiousi! made by the geological survey.
 On the subject of mine inspection Mir. Smith said: We certainly nee' a new mine inspection law. Congress should completely revise the law es pecially in it's application to Alas ka I am hopeful that the new legis Iature will memorialize Congress o this subject"
 Mir. Smith thinks that overmuch 1 expected of one man in the matter c mine inspection in Alaska. The al surdity of the situation evidently ha not been observed by the law-makin body else provision would have bee made for assistants to help cover Q te ritory of 6OO,OOO square miles.
 Mir. Smith will return 10 Junea some time in February or early March.

WHICH IS MORE FAsrluIous7
one Man Claims the Masculine sex
IL More Enamored Of Neatness
Than the Feminine.

"Have you ever asked yourself this
question 2" asked a perceiving young
man. 81 have come to the conclu-
sion that in many things they are
and more particularly about food
and table appointments. Perhaps
this is because women are habituated
to the seamy side Of cookery, to the
sight Of uncooked articles. Men see
only the results of all these pro-
cesses, some Of them disagreeable
enough, whereas even the most fas-
tidious mistress sometimes, however
reluctantly, comes upon the base
ment operators in the midst Of
far from esthetic task. The gilded
youth Of today is a most terribly fas-
tidious person. His chief cult is
sensitive nerves and his culture
seems heinous offense. / was made
to think about these things the other
day when Jim speaking about a
girl whose acquaintance he had lately
made, agreed that she was very pref
ty, very attractive, ETC., but he
added, Il don't like looking at her.
Her hair is never tidy; pieces of it
stream down at the back, and there
is something about the back of her
waist that is disorderly.' / give you
his own masculine expressions. ]
fancy neatness appeals immensely to
men. Soiled gloves, crushed hand.
kerchiefs, untidy footgear, have done
more to disillusion the masculine
creature than the culprits who per-
NIT themselves these disorders car
ever imagine.

BY-PRODUCT OF MUCH VALUE
Innumerable Uses to Which sawdust
May Be Put Are Astonishing to Man
Who Has Not Known.

The family man, who occasionally
INDUCES in home carpentering,
knows full well how sawdust seems
to work into every crevice, to cling
to ones clothes, and to make itself
a general nuisance.
But, despised though sawdust may
be, it is a by-produce with many
uses. Used as an absorbent for nitro
glycerine, it produces dynamite.
Used with clay, and burned, it pro-
duces a freproof brick that makes
excellent and very durable material
for building work.
Sawdust mixed with some suit
able binding material and COM
pressed makes splendid molding and
imitation carvings, whilst if mingled
with Portland cement it produces a
most lasting material for floors.
Hollow walls that one desires to
make sound-proof, or proof against
frost, may be packed with sawdust,
and as a material for protecting
fragile articles in transit there is
nothing better. Sawdust is used as
non-conductor of heat in which to
pack in all the large icehouses.
