 Baron Bulow von Ravens, of New York, recently returned from the Kuskulina country, where he made an examination of the work done on the property of the Alaska Copper Corporation, of which he is the resi- dent engineer. He states that one of the properties is on Nugget creek, to the left of the Kuskulina glacier and about IS miles northeast of Mile 146, or Strelna. The other is the Rarus mine, about IS miles from Strelna and near the Kuskulina river.
 The Baron expresses himself as very we'll pleased with the manage ment of Alfred B. Hes, who has opened up the properties so as to show great quantities of ore. The Nugget Creek mine is a high grade proposition, having bornite ore that carries from 50 to 60 per cent cop per and some silver. They have fol- lowed the ore on the 35 and 55 foot levels and find it about 10 feet wide. They are now in 200 feet on 100- foot level tunnel and the ore is be- ginning to come in. The Baron esti- mates that there is now ore to the value of $5O0,OOO in sight.
 This is the property from which 19 13 tons were shipped in Decem- Der last to the Tacoma shelter The returns show that the ore contained 56.43 per cent copper and 15.32 ounces of silver to the ton. After deducting cost of treatment and freight the company received $2,- S6404 from the shipment.
 The Baron states that the Rarus mine is a low grade proposition, on which there has been considerable development. At present tunnel is in 240 feet cross cutting the ore, which shows frequent occurrences of rich streaks. He estimates that there is practically a mountain of low grade ore from which several million tons could be taken for treatment. The Baron further says: Tn our company are some of the very wealthy men of New York and Pennsylvania. They are prepared to put up whatever money is necessary l to properly develop the property and secure results. I shall recommend | the building of a mill on the Rarus 1 property to treat the low grade ore and also to treat some of the ore from Copper creek, which is seven miles distant and to which a road can easily be constructed.
 The Rarus is very close to the rail- road survey made by the Copper River & Northwestern Railway, which contemplates the building of a railroad from Strelna 1872 miles to the side of Kuskulina glacier. This road could then be easily tapped to the Alaska copper properties, to the big operation of the Great Northern Development Company on Copper mountain, to the properties of the Alaska United Copper Exploration Company on Porcupine creek and near the Kuskulina glacier, to the Ole Berg copper properties and others that will some day make mines. Although the present survey runs from Mile 146, there is some talk of making survey north from Mile 152 which would be more direct and shorten the distance some few miles.

about the style of the clothes we wear, but we give no thought to our expres- sion of countenance unless we have some singular conceit. Of course, we expect some professedly pious people to wear an expression which makes temptation fee, if the world at large does laugh; and we expect the eX- Cessively conceited to give expression by face and action to the sentiment; T am it." just as we expect those who lack confidence in themselves to look so timid and uncertain that they ex- cite pity. There is no defence for the look of hopIessness which marks some faces. or the thunder-cloud front which some others put on. It is just as easy to radiate cheer as discourage ment if we just assume the proper habit of thought. The mind is the face maker and the habit of thought is within our own control. Some peo- pie take as much pride in looking grave as some people do in looking gay. It pays to maintain cheerful heart. It doesn't cost a cent to look pleasant. If it did the photographers would not so often call on their patrons to do il.

BRookER's SUCCESSOR.

With the resignation of Charles F. Broober, member of the national re- publican committee from Connecticut before it, the state central commit tee has an important duty to perform in the selection of his successor. Mir. Brooker has for the past thirteen years given most faithful and efficient ser vice. He was thoroughly acquainted with the duties. He understood fully the conditions existing throughout state and nation and was prepared to act for the best interests of his con-
 stituency. He has always been a staunch party supporter, safety and sanity in national affairs having been arduously supported by him. He was a bulwark of strength and now that he considers it time to take a needed rest the task which is placed upon the committee. in selecting new com mitteeman is necessarily a responsible one and must be fully realized as such.
 The very nature of the office re- quires that the republican party in this state select one of it's best men. He must be a man who will stand four square to the wind and in fact present the same qualifications which were possessed by his predecessor. Con necticut and the republican party have men who will do honor to the national committee and who will fully and properly represent this commonwealth. It is incumb bent upon the state cen traI committee 10 see that in the mak- ing of their choice that such a man is selected The state committee must and probably does realize it's duty

MATER PowER MONOPOLY.

Some idea is to be gained of the fight which is just beginning, over the moncpolistic control of water pow CT from the contest which has taken place at the session of the national conservation congress in session this week at Washington This Is matter which has created many hard fights in various sections of the conn try and it is apparent that the end is not yet The reservation of public rights as endorsed by the congress is in conflict with the great army of states riehts advocates and upon those lines will the question continue to be fought
 As the Springfield Republican says: The struggle in the national cOnser- vation congress over the question of the control of water powers is but a preliminary skirmish to the conflict that will arise in congress. The issue remains to be fought to a finish whether the federal government should retain control of water powers now located on government domain and demand from corporations an annual rental. sufficient to safeguard it's con- trolling position. for the right to build dams in navfgable streams of the United States. There is no doubt on which side are the water power com panies. They are strong for state rights and full state control A far reaching monopoly issue is involved"
 The question is one which demands full consideration Of all it's features It cannot be disposed of without full understanding and rational judgment when it does get before congress.

Almost afraid to leave their mother, the children went at Panlo's bidding, and then they were brought back and seated at the table intended for quite a different company, the food was placed before them, and Mrs. Riverton took her place as hostess, while Susan declared that they should have enough to eat for once in their lives. They certain ly showed that they were hungry. and refused nothing which was offered them strange as some of the dishes must have been to them. Fortunately they were fairly clean, and the scrub in the kitchen under Susan's eye had aided in that direction.
