In view OF the coming Shakespeare

TO look back 10 the famous men and

They have for three centuries opened
UP TO us wealth Of poetic charm and
human Interest contained in the writ
ings OF no other literary artist The

Shakespeare himself would have looked
with favor upon his array They have
reviewed him. annotated him. illus
tratcd him, probcd him until we have
exclaimed. Hold. enough"
~ first we grow impatient with
/ these controversies. and wish them
stopped; but when we consider that
TINS great author holds the key to
universal truth. we can hardly think
any study Of him too minute or any
scholarship too great. He, as no other
writer. has laid before us the book
OF human nature. Our delight in its

which have brought il down to us

OF these changes were made by Shakes

Surveyor W. H.

He believes that two more years will be required to complete tho work as the coal area Is very sxten. siye. MT. Thorn declares that he has never seen such high grade Ignite coal as the Nenana district contains and believes with pr. Brooks that the coal field extends from the Matanus- ka coal fields to the Tanana valley. and Is encouraging the scheme to drill for 1t at Fairbanks. He has expressed the befef that the Nenana coal flelds will yield the cheapest fuel in America. owing to the enormous thickness of the deposits and the character of country rock which would require but little timbering in mining.
