BIG YEAR F0R
 ALASKA MINES

Territorial Mining Inspector Will liam Maloney arrived from the south on the Admiral Evans on Nov. 2S. He left Nome on the last boa from there and spent seV- eral days in Seattle before com ing north. MT. Maloney will spend the winter on the coast.
 MT. Maloney left Juneau June 23, an1 went to the interior on the first boat down the river from White horse. He has been spending his time in the Iditarod, Ruby, Fair banks, Hot Springs, ToloVana and Marshall City section. He reports a very successful season in all sec tions this past summer. At first, the water was short in several sec tions. but later the rains came in in ;' bills and there was plenty of water. ...'
 At Nome the big cleanup was made by the Pioneer Mining Com pau2, mostly from the Portland bench. where that company is work ing a big hydraulic plant.
 "Tbey made $2OO,OOO clean un iust before l got there," MT. Maloney said.
 "The Marshall City camp is a good one as far as one creek is concerned, but if no other pay streak IS discovered this winter the camp will be practically deserted after next summer.
 "They have one very good creek with about six claims on it, but so far nothing more has been found. There are about 500 men pros pectinp in the section mostly from th6 Iditarod and Ruby ection and thev fully expect to find something before the winter is over. The claims being worked, turned out a the IditarodD and Ruby sections and next summer will undoubtedly turn ou+ another one, but unless some thing more is found, the camp will never be a large one."

Tart Retort.

Every small town has It's prominent citizen who appears before the city fa- thers and talks right out in meetin'." Not every town, however, has among its councillors a member with sufficient moral backbone to answer back, as did John Hammer of a western town whose name Is of no consequence. Concluding his arraignmcnt, the prominent citizen hurled this thunderbOIt at the board, "Td-soOner put up as a candidate for lunatic asylum than put up for the town council"
 Well, you'd stand a much better chance of getting in," dryly responded MT. Hammer

SUNRISE EDITION
A WARM WELCOME.

NTE received word the other day W from Colonel John Fairbanks, who is running a cactus farm about twenty miles west of this town, that he would try ard come in some time within q fortnight and shoot us full of lead.
 The colonel seems to have got riled because we blasted his polit- ical ambition by proving that he sold himself to both parties last year and ought to be rode out or Arizona on 0 three cornered rail.
 We shall be home every day in the week for the next month, and the colonel needn't mind knocking on the door when he calls.
 He may just walk right in and begin popping away, and if he downs us no one in the office will do anything to prevent his getting away.
 We can feel our private graveyard aching and yawning for another victim.
 We did feel like going off on a little jaunt for a few days but we gladly give 1t up.

Women Teachers Have Good Reason
 For Dreading Tuberculosis.

TOT DFSaQlU9 lup6ICAlOo'e' That teachers are especially prone to tuberculosis Is the statement made by the bureau of educational hygiene of the city of New York. This department says that this disease is 20 per cent more prevalent among teachers than ! among others of corresponding sex and age and that about half of all deaths among women teachers is caused by tuberculosis. and this In spite of the fact that teachers belong to better hygienic grade than the general aver | age.
 Strenuous, nerve taxing work that causes physical exhaustion and nerve breakdown is given as the main cause, Herman states that -four hours of ac- tual teaching represent about eight hours Of ordinary office work" What is probably the second cause is lack of sufficient rest and regular exercise in the open mir.
 Speaking along this line, the state board of health says: "The wan, tired lOOh llldL uSluAkg LIlA hS IlG NSaCLCAt especially about the close of school, Is too often condition of serious consC- Quence. It may be just tired, run down condition or a case of 'wornout nerves or both, but these are predis- posing causes of tuberculosis as much or more than others.
 Unless the teacher is wise," says the board, "and as quickly as possible OvercOmes this tired feeling and re- gains her usual state of health and vigor she subjects herself to an open risk against tuberculosis as well as to other diseases.
 What the wise teacher will do is to avoid oyerwork and a nervous strain and see that she gets sufficient rest daily as well as daily exercise in the open air. This wornout condition that is too often the beginning of a long, sad story is easy to prevent. To pre- vent 1t should be the teachers first duty"

HUMAN VlLLAlNY.

MARINER Johnson brought us in U peck of sweet apples for bak- ing the other day, but by mistake left them at the office of the Ga Zette.
 The human hyena who runs that sheet knew well enough that they were for us, but he gobbled onto them and sent them to his home.
 Could human villainy go further?

Men and Women Unanimous About I,

Men and Women Unanimous About It.
 Many women weep and wall and refuse to be comforted because their once mag nihcent tresses have become thin and faded. Many men incline to profanity because the flies bite through the thin thatch on their craniums. It will be good news to the miserable of both sexes, to learn that Newbros HerpIcide has been placed upon the market. This Is the new scalp germicide and antiseptic that acts by destroying the germ or microbe that Is the underlying cause of all hair de- struction. Herpicide Is a new prepara- tion, made after a new formula on an entirely new principle. Anyone who has tried 1t will testify as to It's worth. Try 1t yourself and be convinced.

MUST MEND HIS WAYS.

Right now 1t may be well to say a few words to Hank White, who acts as bouncer for the Red Dog saloon.
 He has tried to kill three or four men in the last four weeks, and we believe him to be the party who fired 0 dead rabbit through our bed room window one night last week. Unless he makes a great change in his conduct the boys will get up a surprise party on him soon, and these little affairs are never pulled off without some one getting hurt.
