MINING ACTIVE ON
 COPPER PROPERTIES
 In the annual report of the terri torial mine inspector, just received, is contained the following reference to the copper properties in this section:
 The kennecott- Bonanza.
 The Kenncott-Bonanza and Kenne- cott-Jumbo mines were inspected December 13 and 14. Mining and development work were carried on at those properties throughout the year. There were PIT men em- ployed in the mill and surface works of the company at the time of visit. An average of 109 men were em- ployed under ground during the year at the two mines. Both mines have aerial tramways, each 16,000 feet long, connecting the mines with the mill. About 750 tons of ore is mined from both mills every day and trammed to the mill, where it is crushed and the richer ores sacked without sorting or concen- trating, and the lower grade ore crushed and run over concentrating tables and the concentrates sacked for shipment The largest part of the ore mined is copper glance and covilite, and does not need any treatment at the mills other than crushing and sacking. The carbon ate ore is found in the mine to a depth of 700 feet, and probably deeper, as this is the greatest depth attained In either mine. The Jumbo mine incline was just down to the 700 level, and a station and ore pocket cut. A new teaching plant was being constructed to treat i the carbonate ores that are lost in the tailings from the mills, which contain about two per cent copper, 1 An entirely new process from any ever tried anywhere is being put i in and is called the ammonia pro cess" This is the first plant of its kind ever built for large operations, It is to have a rated capacity of 450 tons per day, and consists of thirteen iron tanks about 12 feet high. Four are 30 feet in diane ter three 16 feet and six are 12 feet in diameter. They are used for the purpose of condensing the am monia. The ore shipped gives re turn of 745 per cent copper.
 Mother Lode.
 Development work was continued on the Mother Lode property l IA miles northeast of the Kennecott Bonanza mine, and on the Westove1 claim on Dan creek. The Mother Lode deposit consists of chalcocite and is situated in the same shear zone as the Kennecott-Bonanza mine

MINING REVIVED ON
 HORSEFLY CREEK

IDITAROD, March 4-There has been considerable revival of in terest during the present week in the Horsefly district. Owners of claims on that creek have been hurrying to and from the new dis trict and stories of new finds have enhanced the value of holdings to such an extent that claims that practically had been abandoned have been relocated and steps taken to secure the title of others
 It appears that Bob Roberson. who has been doing development work on discovery claim, has made an important new find recently, reports stating that values as high as 25 cents to the pan have been uncover ed. Roberson has been at work on

Horsefly creek all winter. and has done systematic work on several claims. Some time ago he secured an interest in discovery Claiu. and has been devoting his time and la cor to that particular claim, which, so far as can be asCertained, Is the only one which gave him substantial encouragement Previous discoveries on this claim were largely respOnsi- ble for the energy displayed by many owners of claims on HoTsefly creek in sinking prospecting holes. Frank Morgan says that the re cent finds made by Roberson indi- cate that the gold comes from Slbula creek, the drifting done so far show ing coarse gold only in the direc- tion of that creek Discovery claim, on which Roberson Is working. is located at the mouth of Sibula. on Horsefly. Nothing has been found on Sibula creek to date, but Mir Morgan Is satisfied that pay will be found there.
 Mir Morgan banned in the drift on discovery and secured values as high as cents. He says that coarse gold has been found in con siderable quantities. but as Yet no paystreak has been outlined.
 Angus Mclean and Angus Me Kinzie have gone to the creek. and intend to resume operations on their claims on the strength of the new discoveries

GREEN TELLS OF STRIKE.

Returning early during the past week from a trip to the lower river country Captain George Green brought report concerning the new strike in what is known as the Tolstoi district, and which is in the Innoko country. He states that the strike seems to be genuine and brought back with him little Of the gold found. Pay prospects have been located on Boob and Masto- don creeks only as yet.

 A tramway 1000 feet long con veys the ore from the mine to the bunkers on Mccarthy creek, from which it is hauled fourteen miles on sleds to the railroad at Mccarthy station Plans have been made and some of the material is on the ground for the construction of a concentrating plant at the lower bunkers on Mccarthy creek. A compressor plant will be installed to furnish power for the mining O. the ore, as at present hand drilling and mining are done There was some development work on a num- Der of other copper properties in this district, but no ore was shipped. Such work was also done on claims on Hidden creek and Lakina river.
 Development work was being done on the Era and Glacier claims by the Kennecott Mining company, pre- paratory to taking out ore and do ing active mining.
 Beatson-Bonanza Mine.
 The Kennecott Copper company took over the operations of the Beatson- Bonanza mine, on Latouche Island. During the year a large plant for the concentration of the lower grade ores, chiefly by the Notation system, was nearly com pleted at this mine. A new Marcey ball mill, an Oliver continuous t!l- ter press and Ruggles dryers are being installed, the power for which is furnished by two 800 k. W. cleo tric generators Direct connections are made with two steam turbines the steam for which is furnished by three large water tube boilers. Oil is used for fuel. The rated capacity of the mill when completed is 75C tons per day. Development work at the mine was continued as usuaI by open cuts, tunnels and drifts The ore is Denched or blasted of from a high cliff at one end of the cut and bulldozed in the open cut The ore is then sent down through chutes to an adit, 1,400 feet long driven on the mill level, where it is loaded in cars and trammed by horse power to the mill. The sur face equipment consists of mill blacksmith shop, boiler and engine house, store, bunk and mess houses and commodious bunkers and whar for large steamers.

One Misery of Anglo Indian Life.

Every night at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds kind Of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some Of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little. fat, brown,
shining creature-which emits the
worst odor in the world. If one Of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests. for if one be
squashed the whole room becomes fill
ed with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with impunity. while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and invardly sigh "spero meliora."

Fire Versus Life Insurance..


OF the 100000 or 80 dwellings In
the United States 90 per cent are pro-
tected-at least to some extent-by
fire insurance. But Of our 100. 000,0 900
inhabitants only Is per cent have TAX
en- out life insurance policies. Men
seem to be more uneasy over the mere
possibility of the burning of their
houses than over the stern certainty
that death will some day overtake
them. This is a strange contradiction
in human nature. To safeguard the
nations material possessions is well,
but how much more valuable than the
homes are the human lives Of the
country! In this age, when the prin-
ciplss of life insurance are so well
understood, there should be no such
discrepancy between the number of
homes and Of lives insured. In many
instances the former could not be
saved from foreclosure were the earn
ers Of incomes to pass away leaving
the families unprovided for. 1t is as
much the duty Of every man to insure
his life as to insure his property, and
If he has no insurable property there
is all the more reason for insuring his
life.-Leslie's.

How to Ride,

In riding sit erect and don't SLOUGH
along. Don't try to be a cowboy If
you are not. We have the real simon
pure cowpunchers and broncho bus
tiers; also we have the tin horn variety
Of the same species. Steer clear of
the latter; also be careful not to get
into this category yourself.
Remember that horse is only flesh
and blood and not a machine. He gets
tired, hungry and thirsty, and for
goodness sake, treat him accordingly.
Because he is lively horse and you
are paying his hire. treat him white
just the same. Remember that some
one else rode him yesterday. and an
other will probably do so tomorrow.
Give your horse the same kind Of a
deal you yourself would demand If
you were in its place. Even a broncho
has feelings and will appreciate your

If a Naturalist Painted,

II I were to paint the short days or
winter I should paint two towering
icebergs approaching each other like
promontories, for morning and even
ing, with cavernous recesses and a SOL
itary traveller wrapping his cloak about
him and bent forward against the
driving storm, just entering the narrow
pass. 1 would paint the light Of ia
per at midday, seen through a cottage
window, half buried in snow and frost.
In the foreground should be seen the
sewers in the fields and other evidences
of spring. On the right and left Of
the approaching icebergs the heavens
should be shaded off from the light of
midday to midnight with its stars, the
sun being low in the sky.-Henry Da-

The Colder Hemisphere.

DR.. George c. Simpson of the Indian
meteorological service at Simla, in In
Ola, who asserted that the southern
hemisphere is much colder than the
northern, gives in the Scientific Amer
lean the reasons on which he bases his
opinion. The air is warmed not by the
rays Of the sun, which simply pass
through it, but by the earth, which alb
serbs the rays. Now, in the northern
hemisphere there is much land to absorb
the energy Of the sun and to give heat
to the air. In the southern hemisphere
there is much less land, and all the
land within the antarctic circle is per-
manently covered with ice, which forms
a virtually perfect reflector and which
sends back into space most Of the solar
energy that falls upon it. Five mil
lion square miles of the earth's surface
In the southern hemisphere reflect into
space a large part of the energy re-
ceived from the sun-a fact that in it
self is enough to account for a consid-
cradle difference in temperature.
