Speaking of basket ball, that man Eckenstine or Eckenstein, spell 1t whichever way you please, is sure some wonder. Last night Eek show cd up on the floor of the White Page Athletic gym for the Elks, and he sure did play some game. He was there all the time, and backed by the other four members of the team, who went into the game de terujned to show the Athletics at least the rudiments of basket ball, in a clean cut game, the bacon was brought home and safely slowed away in the Elks' lander.
 Owing to the fact that Durkee was Ill, and Rousseau was oyer the bill, Eckenstine and Iud Mathews donned the Elks colors and playe in their stead.

From the toss up, it was easy to see that the Elks had their work all laid out for them, for Huh, Har- graves, and Smith, Liddicoat and George Rapuzzi got into the game quick, showing the Wearers of the antlers that they would have to wake up and play the game if they wished to win.
 Eek put one over on the Athletics In the first half, and with pretty cor operation on Coles part, several field shots were made in quick se- quence. Bud Gillespie helped out n good clean plays, and Jud Matthews and Charles Rapuzzi took every op- euing and run the score up to 21 in the first half, with the Athletics tagging along with g points ! When the ball was tossed up at tho beginning of the second half' it was easy to see that the Athletics had talked to themselves few, for they got right into the game, and for a few moments there was nothing to it. The fans for the ! black and red shouted themselves noarse, and when Huh and liar graves each made two field shots, running the score up eight points the spectators on the fireline nearly shook the balcony down.
 From that time on the play was fast anf furious. Each side played fast, and Referee Louis Gutfeldt wa forced to penalize players on both teams for fouls. The time up whis- tie blew just at the proper time for the Elks to win, as Demon Huh wa' getting his dander up, and it was only a question of few seconds more and the score would at least fbave been tied.

BEST INDIANS IN ALL ALASKA

Say in the paper that I am ac- quainted with all the different na- tivE tribes in Southeastern Alaska and that those of Hoonah are the mos highly civilized among them"
 So the Douglas Island News pre- sents the story thus:
 William Howard, a native of Sit Sa. and whose claim on fame is that he absorbed wisdom while attending school taught by form Governor John G. Brady, delivered himself of the above while honoring the News offic. with a call one day last week Continuing William said:
 "The natives at Hoonah govern themselves in accordance with the requirements of the Federal govern ment and they are intelligent and prosperous. They own numerous gas boats, conduct store of their own and are otherwise progressive and thrifty. They are strong for educa- ton and realize that only through can they hope to climb the step-ladder of fame. The natives here in Douglas should take lessons from the Hoonahs and copy their node of life. Education is the best thing for natives"

was not understood. Now that this mineral is known, and its import ance realized, the value of ths scheelite recovered should be com parable with shat of the gold. The public is, however, cautioned against overly optimistic hopes and misre- presentations concerning Dublin Cullen. The grave there are not re markedly rich, and fortunes will net be made working htem. It is be- lieved, though, that experienced placer miners who will locate now and work their claims next season, will be rewarded for their time and labor, and by producing tungsten concentrates and gold, they will be doing q service to the country. In addition to the graVels lode deposits containing scheelite have heen found which are the source of the placer accumulation, and with further prospecting it is hoped deposits of this nature will be found that will also pay to mine and thus greatly increase the tungsten ore production. Dr. Cafrnes' report on the tungsten deposits of Dublin gulch and vicinity, will be published in the Summary Report of Geologi- cal Survey for 1916, and copies may be obtained as soon as the report is published, by applying to the Di- rector of the Geological Survey, Ot- tawa.
 "At the beginning of the war; the Imperial Government placed a price on all tungsten ores within tn British Empire and prohibited their export The, price paid per gross ton (224O pounds) of 65 per cent WO3 (tungsten trioxide) ore, is at the rate of 55 shillings per unit q per cent of 224O pounds) per gross ton f. o. b. Liverpool, less charges as per II. A. Watson's' pro- forma contract. The net price thus amounts to about $S53 per ton without considering insurance or freight. A penalty of G cents per unit down to 60 per cent WOE is i'm posed,
 The tungsten concentrates from Dublin gulch, so far %ound contain about 6S per cent WO3.
 "AIl tungsten concentrates mined in Carada should be shipped di- rect to MT. G. c. Macknezie, De- Dartment of Mines, Ottawa, MT. Mac Kenzie being secretary of the can adian Munition Resources Commis- sion. He will return payment for all such shipments as soon as they can be sampled and the samples are assayed. ."-Whitehorse Star.

THE DUBLIN GULCH

The following is from an inter- view with Dr. D. D. Cairnes of the Geological Survey branch Of Depart meut of Mines, OttaWa:-
 .'In view of the fact that the con- cession on Dublin gulch is to be thrown open for stalking, probably early in February, it has been thought advisable to give to the public, and particularly to the peo- pie of the Yukon, some information concerning this matter. Some data as to the value and importance of tungsten ores is also here inelud- ed.
 Dublin gulch is 8 tributary of Haggart creek which flows into Me Questen river, tributary of the Stewart river. Some placer mining nas been conducted on Dublin gulch each year since 1898, mainly by John Suttles, whose interests were acquired a few months ago by Can tin brothers. On August 30, 1905, concession was granted on Dublin gulch for placer mining purposes, which is recorded as hydraulic min ing lease No. 47. This includes practically all of the creek that is adapted to placer mining, except about 2,5O0 feet of ground which is located near the lower end of the concession; this was owBed by John Suttles prior to 1905, and con. seQuently is not included in the concession. On the concession itseli almost no actual mining has been performed, and as the own CTS did not mine their ground, according to the terms of the lease, the holding of 1t became 6eterimental to the min ing interests of tha district and it was cancelled, Recently it was discovered that scheelite. which is one of the most valuable ores of tungsten cccurs thera in important amounts, and as tungsten ores are required at present by the nation to be used in connection with the man ufactuTe of munitions, the Depart meut of the Interior has decided to throw the concession open to the public for stalking as soon as possi- ble, in the hope that an increased production will result.
 'Dr. Cairnes visited Dublin gulch early in September last, and inEesti- gated the gold and scheelite-beartng graVels of that vicinity. He reports that Dublin gulch, for 21a miles from it's mouth, is adapted to placer mining, but above there, the valley bottom is strewn with such quanti- ties of huge granite blocks and bout ders, that ordinary placer mining IS impossible. The 21z miles, except for the relative small amount Of ground SO far worked by Suttles and the Cantins, is practically untouch- ed; and it Is believed that this all' as we'll as portions of certain of the tributaries will pay for working. Until the latter part of last season, iu mining the graNels in Dublin gulch, the gold only was saved; the scheelite was discarded as It's value

Indoor sport in skagway is at tracting more attention this winter than for several years past, and it is to be hoped that the enthusiasm will not wane until the time arrives for the abandonment of the gymna- sium for the tennis court, baseball diamond, and field and stream.
 As an out door recreation, skat- ing has come in for it's share this winter, and several of the more en- thusiastic ones have even donned their tennis togs and gripped their racquets and tried out on the court.
 Bowling and basket ball, however have been the main center of att traction, and each week the fans of these two popular sports have had all the excitement that was good for their constitutions.

of the chilling of the body either by cold or wet are all protective measures. 1t should be borne in mind, however, that even robust persons may contract colds from people who have them
 The germs of colds leave the body in the secretions of the mouth and nose. They enter thei body through the same route. Thus careless sneezer and the person who does not cover his mouth and nose when he coughs are breeders of these
 infections. The little living bodies which cause colds are so small that 1CO9, ,G0Q could rest on the head of a pin When a person coughs or <sneezes fine spray carrying with it untold numbers of these germs is spread into the surrounding at mosphere to distance of several feet and may be easily taken into the mouth and nose with the respred air More direct contact such as by kissing. the common drinking cup, the common roller towel by pipes, toys, pencils. fingers food and other things which have been contaminated by the mouth and nose se- cretions of person having cold may also carry the disea se
 PREVENT THEIR SPREAD It is an obligation on the part of per sons having colds to see to it that they do not spread these colds to somebody else. The person who neglects to cover HIS nose ana mouth when he SneeZeS and coughs, the careless splitter the person who permits his germ laden discharges to contaminate things which are going tc be handled by other people is a menace to the community. If such person uses public swimming pools, if he is not amen. able to reason and persists in distribut 1 ing his infection, he should be avoided as spreader of pestilence
 A good deal has been said about harden ing people so that they will not contract colds. There is an element of danger in this since to expose weak person to the rigors of cold baths and cold drafts is apt to lower resistance thus favorine the very condition which it is desired tt avoid. At the same time. 1t should not be forgotten that the arctic explorer does not ordinarily have colds so long as he stays out in the open, and that it is not the engineer and fireman in the cold drafty cab who have colds but those whe ride in the close. dusty, overloaded coaches behind. When all is said, it mus be admitted that dusty llnventilatec rooms perhaps play the greatest role il producing colds

The sufferer takes these preparations in large quan- titles and if he Is strong enough he may survive them and eventually get the best of his cold Self-medication or medica ton by untrained persons is always dan eerous. It is especially dangerous to those having colds and should always be scrupulcusly avoided.
 As rule, much time inconvenience and suffering will be- obviated by con sulting an intelligent physician promptly. If this is not practicable a brisk saline may be taken and the patient put to bed. This gives his body an opportunity to regain its vitality and at the same time isolates him from other people. The sick room should be well ventilated and the windows so opened as to keep the air moving freely It is also wise to moisten the air little bit by putting a pan of water on the radiator or over the register or on the stove. The handkerchiefs and beddinq used by the patient should be steri1ized by boiling Kissing and the use of drinking cups and towels, etc, in common with other members of the household should be forbidden, it being borne in mind constantly that colds are infectious and readily spread from one person to another.

DEATH OF MRS. BRIGGS

Bessemer, March 2S.-(Special)-Pla are being discussed by the farmers of this district for sending their meat to con sumers through parcel post, this having been tried out on small scale and proven successful. Small amounts can in this way be disposed of IGofitably and prompt delivery insured without trouble of ped cling or the expense of paying a prohibi- tive city license
 It is stated that with no license on peddling in small amounts, the profit is greatly reduced by time lost and upkeep in horses and wagon. As result nc meat is being sold the consumer except through the markets, and the farmers are selling their meat to the local markets at ID and Il cents pound.
 Estimates have been submitted to the bessemer board of education by w E. Benns, architect, on the proposed high s'heol building, which shows that the first unit on the scale adopted by the
