Tho Department oS Mines of Can ada has just issued its report by Y A. MacLean of an investigation os lode mining in Ynkcn, and more especially of the Kloudike division.
 In a summary the following is an excerpt:

 The chief among these are situ- .eL in southern Yukon, where the ,-a consists generally of quartz car n.E0E urgeuuferous galena and gold.

A BIT o NOTHIN'
seeeeeesesessseeeeeee

Once upon time, in a town
about the size of this town, there
lived a man who was a mon,
or an "ant1" on every question
that came up. In a dry town he
was "wet" and in a "wet" town
he was dry" If the local ball
team played on Sunday he said
it was a wicked thing to do. II
it played on any other day he
complained that Sunday was
the only time he had to see ball
game. The summer always was
too hot, the autumn too dry,
the spring too wet and winter
too cold. Time was when
the good people of the town
listened to him with patience, but
they finally tired of his "1'm not
in favor offs" and eventually they
passed him up altogether. He
had never had Il real friend, and
the only acquaintance who bore
with him at the last were few
old men almost as adept at
knocking as he. And one day
the man died. They buried him
right away and the Oldest
inhabitants said it was the
smallest funeral ever held in the
town. The preacher talked but
FIVE minutes. The choir Sang
"Gone and Forgotten" and the
sexton at the cemetery prepared
for him the deepest grave ever
made there.

HOW GERMAN SPIES
GOT INFORMATION
System Carried on
Through Tourist
Agency.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press }
PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE expulsion
from Switzerland Of a German calling
himself julius Thomas is alleged to
have brought to light comprehensive
system of espionage which he had car
ried on for a period of two years or
more at Basel under the guise of a
tourist agency. It is recalled that in
January, 1913, all the French papers
ran a small advertisement offering
good pay for easy work.
Applicants were directed to write to
"Aget, General Delivery, Basel" 1t is
alleged that this "Aget" was also
known as Schwartz" his supposedly
correct name, and also as Thomas
and that under the guise of publish
ing a tourist guide he solicited matter
with a lettcr written in the following
vein:
II am going to publish a new tour
lists guide l want to put into IT all
details Of interest to travellers, an in
dex and map Of all the highways,
paths and forest trails, addresses of all
the hotels and auberges, all the curios-
ities, monuments, buildings of histori-
cal interest In a short and complete
detailed description OF each locality
with its resources Send us this infor-
nation concerning your neighborhood
and we will remit you at once fifty
francs; we will make it hundred
francs II the information you give us
Is Of unusual Importance"
To those who sent in information
Schwartz remitted promptly and wrote
under the name Of Thomas, giving
his address 1913 rue Franche at Basel,
asking for more details concerning
the topography Of the region. Tell
me all about the hills, the ruins, the
valleys, the forests, the stone or lime
quarrles, the lakes, marshes, etc. Give
me a list Of the factories what they
make, how much they produce"
In his third letter OF instructions 1t
is alleged he' threw aside the mask of
tourist and asked for "a list OF all
the bridges in the region, how built
and Of what material. the number OF
arches, length OF each, the nearest
garrison OF troops, the number OF each
arm OF the service quartered there, q
description OF the forts If any, and
how many troops OF occupation ar
senals, II any, or manufacturers or
powder, ammunition or arms" II no
reply was feCelNeu' DlhChllaIl was
sorted TO- It Is asserted. Schwartz had
taken care to recruit his correspond
ents among postal employees, railroad
men, government and municipal clerks
whose relations with him were certain
to compromise them.
"You have taken my money he
wrote them, "and you can't back out
now; l have the receipts for the sums
| have paid you and II l denounce you
to your chiefs you will be broken for
ever. II you think 1t is an affair Of
espionage, don't forget that you are
already a paid accompllce."
BY terrorizlng his refractory cores
pondents In this way, Schwartz pre-
vented the exposure OF his system for
two years. 1t was the work of local
detectives in Switzerland that caused
his downfall.

France Turned Her Soil
Over to the Neigh

SIGHTSEERS
Stamp Collectors Give the
Belgians a Nice

BY WILLIAM q. SHEPHERD,

United Press staff Correspondent)
HAVRE, France, Feb. 2.-(By mail
to New York Squeezed into "a little
suburb, known as Nice Havrais, is the
Belgian government. In the house

ries on It's busy affairs. In another
mansion. deserted by a German, the
foreign office holds sway and on the
second floor Of a long line OF store
buildings most OF the other depart
ments have their temporary offices.
France has turned over this little
spot to Belgium. Nice Havrais Is not
French soil but Belgian and it will
remain 80 by the promise OF France
until the king OF Belgium rides again
into Brussels.
1t is the Belgian postoffice that Is
the most interesting spot In this little
Belgium. Tho French postmaster
moved out, bag and baggage, when the
Belgians came, and the Belgian de-
partment of posts and telegraphs took
1t over. The telegraph business
amounts to a little. but in the matter
Of posts this little office probably holds
all worlds records for It's size. II Is
a paradise for postage stamp coll
lectors. They besiege the place from
the opening to the closing hour. They
come from all parts OF the countries
OF the allies. Some OF them live at
a nearby hotel and day after day they
repair TO the little postoffce and buy
stamps OF all denominations which
they affix to postal cards and thrust
into the letter slots
II strikes an onlooker-especlall
one who is not victim of tho postage
