RUBY'S GOLD OUTPUT

Already number of papers through out the Territory are giving the fiaures of the Ruby cleanup during the past season at s7o.0OO And this is all because of the manner i'll which several Fairbanks papers tahuated the cleanup of that district, giving Ruby credit for the amount stated, that be- ing the amount of Ruby gold which small way in commercial transactions and otherwise. Of course this all helped to increase the figures in the gold production of Panama district, but the way in which it was tabulat- ed has done a gross injustice to Ru- by. One of the papers was even kind enough to say that the figures men toned. of course. did not represent the entire cleanup of Ruby. intimat-
 ing that it perhaps might be a few thousand dollars greater than the sum named.
 However. for the benefit of those outside of Ruby uniformed as to the actual figures We will again make statement that the cleanup for the Ruby district during the past season aggregated over one-half million dol lars. This was all Ruby gold--none of it came from Iditarod. from the koyu- kuk, or from Fairbanks
 And, in speaking of cleanups, the assertion is ventured at this time that the cleanup of the Ruby district during the next season will be some what of a surprise to outsiders-the figures may even cause the Fair banks papers to take notice.
 Operations now under way and those in contemplation indicate that work throughout the district will be on a most enlarged scale. Work is pro- -rcssing on many new creeks, which may now be reckoned as producers. and these. together with the new finds being regularly made, will add greatly to coming outputs. Despite the handicaps of the past years. this district made a most excellent show ing, but conservative mining men are of the opinion that the output of the Ruby district for the coming year will treble that of the past year. And, what is more, they assert that the development of this district has irs' commenced and that future work will show that as successful mining sec tion it will stand second to none in Alaska.-Ruby RecordCiti2en.

GREAT MEMS EYES.

II seems that at last genius is discos- cred not to he allied to insanity. hut that rather all it's eeccntricities are lue io eye strain.
 Brain specialists for instance, are asserting that If Carlyle had had prop crly adjusted glasses and good electric light to work by. instead of skyIisht over his desk. and that fl- lumined by a London fog much of the time. he would not have been such -rumhler and dyspeptic; in fact. eye strain was the cause of all his ec- centriCities.
 All seuiuses. in fact. would have been optimistic. says science now, if they had only had bifocal glasses al the right time. The same unnormal eye sight is given as the cause of many tragic paintings. That famous artist Turner, would never have painted the slave ship in a storm, but would rather have depicted the peaceful landscapes that so many artists paint with glasses.
 Wagner, too if he had worn the correct spectacIes and had had that decided tlt to one eye remedied, prob ably would never have written about Walkyrie and dragons, but would have written pleasant dances. and even rag time. instead.
 De Quincy suffered from bad eyes. Surely he would never have taken opium if he had had glasses: but, then. on the other hand, the world would have missed his opium dreams. An1, after all is considered, scientists conclude society could better dispense with speCtaCles than with EeniuscS.

What of the keystone in the arch of your success? Are your eyes cen- tered toward it's position as you begin every day. and during the succeeding days as you review with pride what you have done? Remember that the keystone represents the highest ideals of the builder.
 There is a keystone to every day that you live. There is keystone to every job you do. There is a keystone to the ideals that cluster in your brain and that formulate the one big ideal of your life-the ideal to win worthily or lose.
 As the building dates from the key stone. must your success.

TAXING GERMAN BACHELORS

There has been much talk in the United States of taxing bachelors, but nothing has ever come of it. In Straussburs. Germany. the town coun- cil has adopted a system of pay ing municipal employees, which puts in effect a tax not only on bachelors, but on married men with small fam lies.
 A standard schedule of salaries has been arranged, adapted to the needs of the married men with three chill dren. Single men between the ages of 20 and 25 years receive ten per cent. less than the schedule salary. When man has more than three children he receives five ner cent more than the standard schedule. ten per cent more for five children. and fifteen per cent. more if he has seven children.
 similar system has been in opera ton in Halberstadt for some time with this difference. that the extra allowances for children are paid di- rectly to the mothers.

THE HAM SANDWICH

The ham sandwich is the great American substitute for food. A ham sandwich consists of hinged bun with a suspicion of ham between halves. Modern science has now made
 it possible to slice ham so thin that one pig can upholster 5000 ham sand wichcs. When eaten the ham is li- bcrally smeared with mustard Thus the eater imaGines that he could taste the ham if it were not for the mus tard and is perfectly happy. A new sandwich is now being tested in which the ham is painted on the inside of the bun. and il is giving very satis- factory results
 The ham sandwich is the mainstay of the American traveller. It forms the principal bill of fare at all rail road lunch counters. railroad lunch counter may have hard boiled eggs and kiln dried chicken legs and other delicacies but after the hungry travel CT has looked over the assortment he generally resorts to the sandwich.
 one ham sandwich will keep the ordinary traveller from wanting any more food for 100 miles. This brings down the cost of travelling in a re markahle manner. Men and women have been known to travel for a week at a time existing entirely on ham sandwiches and a peculiar brown drink also found at railroad lunch counters and resembling coffee in price and it's manner of application. The ham sandwich is legal tender for a nickel in all parts of the country except along q few railroads so lost to honor as to charge 10 cents apiece for every thing it sells to the traveller When raiIroad charges 10 cents for the ordinary tam sandwich of commerce it can be viewed with suspicion. It is conducted for aristocrats and the com mon man stands no show with it.
