Alaska Natives Like Taxis.

High, White-topped shoes and silk
and satin party gowns, worn by native
Alaskans, are cited by J. L. McPher-
son of the Seattle chamber of com
merce as proof of the prosperity be,
ing enjoyed by the residents Of that
territory.
Mr.. Mcpherson, who has returned
from a six weeks trip to Alaska, says
that the present fad of the Ketchikan
natives is taxi riding at cost of So
an hour, according to the Seattle Post
Intelligencer. The seven taxicabs re-
Gently installed at Ketchikan are doing
a land office business, he says. To
bid good-by to a native departing on
one of the boats, an entire family of
native friends rode down to the dock,
alighted and shook hands with him,
wishing him a good voyage, re-entered
their motor car and the head of the
family airily waved to the chauffeur,
"Home, James"

the latest styles in clothing, Mr.. Nc
Pherson says, has come a liberal pa

SAMPLING METHODS.

Probably no work which pros
pector has to do is more liable to
error than the methods of sampling.
An error in sampling not only de-
ceives the owner of the property as
to it's value, but often causes large
expenditure of money. 1t was with
the idea of correcting and standard
izing these methods that the samp-
ling series of bulletins was written by
George R. Fansett, mining engineer
of the Arizona State Bureau Of
Mines
Bulletin. No. 81, Sampling Series
No. 1, entitled "Sampling and Esti-
nation of Gold in Placer Deposits" :"
goes into considerable detail of the
estimation of the gold present and
recoverable. The bulletin indicates
and describes the best methods in use
and also is intended to initiate the
layman into methods of correct sam
ping. b.:
Bulletin 62, Sampling Series No.2,
is entitled: 1.-The Sampling Of Dumps
and Tailings Heaps" Many things
are generally involved in the correct
sampling of dumps and tailings piles,
and there are many cases where ore
too poor to be shipped to a smelter
has caused a distinct loss because Of
incorrect sampling returns.
Bulletin: sc, Sampling Series No. 3,
is entitled "Sampling Mineralized
Veins 1t also goes into some de-
detail as to the estimation of ore tom
nage in sight.
Prospector and miner should know
now to sample that he may not be
deceived. II

reau of Mines, Tucson, Arizona.

ARIZONA'S COTTON CROP.

The Arizona cotton crop, estimated
as worth $S,O00,000 is of large bene-
fit in the prosecution of the war.
Most of it is going into automobile
tires of the highest grade with dur
ability far beyond the ordinary,
while most of the balance will be
used in making thread, both items
just now of prime war necessity.
The Egyptian cotton thus will take
the place Of an equal quantity of
short staple, liberated for war uses.
A complete change of clothing for
all troops now enlisted in the armies
of the world is said to require mil
lion bales of cotton, while 1000
bales will be needed for wings for
the new American aerOplane fleet
and 10000 will go to the provision
of absorbant cotton with which to
bind the wounds of the injured. The
country i ssaid to be turning nearly
a million bales of cotton a year into
explosives A twelve-inch gun needs
half bale of cotton, or 250 pounds
for every shot fired, for gun cotton
is the vehicle for the nitroglycerine
or other intensive explosive agent.
In naval battle, like the one off Jut-
land, more than 5000 pounds of cot
ton minute are consumed by each
warship engaged. Even a small ma
chine gun is said to use up bale in
three minutes.

FAvORITE SPORTS OF TODAY
Baseball and Football Are Games
Evolved From Daily Work of
Our Forefathers.

Play is ancestral work. The things
to live, we do for fun, muses. an ex.
change. Away back in the dim dis.
tance, they lived by hunting-and by
lodging the creatures which were
hunting them. In those days, it con.
siderably strengthened ones grip on
life to be able to throw a stone with
accuracy, to hit quickly and strongly
with a club, to run from tree to tree
so swiftly and with such nice judg.
ment of distance as to foil old Saber-
Tooth, the original apostle of fright
fulneSS.
The men who could do these things
we'll left descendants. Generations
centuries, aeOns passed, and these
descendants, struggling to repeat the
daily work of their fOrbears, evolved
such games as cricket, one old cat
and FOUNDERS. Out of this last, by
happy chance and happier genius, was
developed baseball, to exercise our
lungs, improve our eyes and increase
our vOcabularies.
Far different is the origin of foot
ball. The keynote of that is the
massed rush-like the one which won
the battle of Marathon. Sometimes
the massing is extra close, correspond
ing to the charge of the Theban col
umn at Leuctra, and with pretty near
ly as high a proportion of casualties
until the rule makers abolished the fly
ing wedge. But even in the most open
game, football is essentially a disci-
plined charge, and the activities it
calls into play are immeasurably less
ancient than those of baseball.
Why the one game has become the
greatest of professional sports and the
other the peculiar joy of colleges, no
one can say, but so it is. Perhaps half
the problem can be solved by recol-
lecting that the college age is the mill
tary age, and takes naturally to a
game which mimics ancient war.
