day.
Unless the exemption seekers are

In this respect the rules are more

Charges and counter charges IF

BORNI7E ORE
 UNCOVERED IN
 RAINY HOLLOW

A reported strike of rich bornite ore in Rainy Hollow is brought to skagway by pr. Sewell, of Haines. A ledge of this ore was discovered some time ago by the Col. w. L.. Stevenson interests in charge of R. H. Harrington, and Professor Bard the consulting engineer for the firm ordered a tunnel to be built beginning at the base of the noun tain with the object of reaching this ledge probably after 8 depth of 400 feet. To the surprise ot every one the ledge was uncovered after only threew eeks work and only comparatively little way into the mountain.
 The bornite ore is said to run high in it's test values. Strictly speaking it is called copper ore con- sisting, of fl parts of iron, 26 parts of sulphur and 50 parts of copper. On a fresh fracture it has peculiar bronze color, but it soon tarnisnes

He Is an Englishman!'
Ian Hays Brilliant Psychology
cal Tour de Force

THE OPPRESSED ENGLISH. b. Lar Hay l5mo.
pp S. Doubleday. Page & Co
Doubtless somebody might have writ
ten a better study of the English tenn
permanent and the Englishman's place
in the world than this canny Scot has
done; but, doubtless, nobody ever
did. Nor could any one easily add any
thing of consequence to 1t II he en-
larged upon the theme to the extent OF
n thousand page octave. In this tiny
booklet Captain Beth has told the
whole story Of the whipping boy or
the British Empire" Whenever praise
is to be bestowed it is given with par
ticularity TO the Scots, the Welsh, the
Irish, the Canadians, or somebody else,
but never TO the English; and II II so
happens, as il often does, that they are
really Englishmen who deserve the
palm, they are inevitably disguised as
British--which may mean anything. On
the other hand, when there is odum TO
fall. when there is somebody to be
"strafed," invariably it is England and
the English.
With a keenness of analysis beyond
dcscriptjon, and with a crisp and spark
ling wit that dazzles while 1t charms,
the author considers why this is so;
why the EnHllSNndN maintains ne F4D
verbal attitude of you be damned
ness" toward all the rest Of the world;
why it is so heartbreakingly difficult to
settle the Irish question: and what
is the cause Of "the present deplorable
status of that unfortunate country,
England"
To-day her chief Offices of state are
occupied by Scotsmen of the most
ruthless type; Wales supplies her
with Prime Ministers, while Ireland
appropriates all her spare cash and
calls her a bloodsucker. When the
war is over and the world has leisure
TO devote itself to certain long post
poned domestic reforms, it is most
devoutly TO be hoped that the case OF
that unhappy but not undeserving
people, the English, may be taken in
hand. After that we must do
something for Poland
And the best thing about it all is that
it is just as seriously true as it is ir-
resistibly amusing.
