Good Advice.

Advice which Is easy to follow is
not always the advice It pays to take.
There are some people who keep on
asking counsel till they get that which
calls for no especial effort, and then
hall the giver as the wisest on their
list Of acquaintance. But good adj
vice, like good medicine, may be bitter
to the taste. and the best friend Is not
always the one who tells us the thing
we like to hear.-Glrl's Companion.

Paris.-One Of the most dramatic

Early in January, 1918, FIVE Ameri-

of Germany from Holland and Switzer-

bread tickets, printed in Washington.

.OURNAI, the oldest city in

-@OURNAI, the oldest city in
Belgium, onc the capital of
the Merovingian kings, is
truly a city of romance,
whether we think of the tomb of Chill
deric, the father of Clovis, with its
wonderful treasures, discovered after
being lost to sight for nearly 1920
years, or of the poor, deluded youth,
Perkin Warbeck, the tool of the York
lists, and through them brought to an
ignominious death, says a writer in
Sphere. For us in England perhaps
it's primary interest centers in its be-

real name was Pierce Osbeck. This

duchess of Burgundy, to p~ersonate
Richard Duke of York, whom they de-
clared had not been murdered in the
Tower with his brother, but had es-
capped and been concealed, only await
ing an opportunity to declare his royal
birth, he succeeded for a time in ex-
citing a formidable revolt against the
king, Henry VII.
After many strange adventures and
much ill success, in spite of the recog-
milton of his claims by the kings of
Scotland and France, Perkin, finding
himself insufficiently supported in his
sorry fraud and realizing that he "had
not the heart Of a king" but only 'the
heart of a weaver's son." made confess
sion of his imposture and was i'm
prisoned in the Tower. Soon after, on
attempting to escape, he was hanged
at Tyburn, finishing with a rope round
his neck instead of the promised crown
upon his head.

An interest wholly different from
this passing futile deception, however
romantic some of it's circumstance
may have been, attaches to Tourna

PRODUCTION OF MINERALS
IN TERRITORY OF ALASKA
BELOW NORMAL IN 1917

The Alaska mining industry in 1918
has just been set forth in detail in a
report by the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. Regular mining may be
said to have begun in Alaska in 1880,
when the Juneau gold placers were
first exploited. 1t is estimated that
since that time mineral wealth has
been produced to the value of more
than s41S,OOO,OOO.
The mineral production of the terri
tory in 1918 was valued at only $685.
253,961. This output was almost $12,-
500 900 less than that for 1917 and
was the smallest since 1914. The de-
crease was chiefly in copper, the pro-
duction of which fell from SS,7S3, 400
pounds, valued at $24,240,59S, in 1917,
to 69,224,951 pounds, valued at ST.
O9S,563 in 1918. The reduction in the
output of copper was due to the short
age of labor and ships. The produc-
ton of gold decreased from 7O9,050
ounces. valued at $14,657 1853, nj 1917,
to 458,641 ounces, valued at $9,4So'953'
in 1918, and was the smallest since
1904. The reduction in the output OF
gold was due chiefly to curtailment
of operations because of the scarcity
of labor and the cost of materials.
There was reduction in the output
of silver and lead, due to the decrease
in gold and copper.

ALASKA COPPER PRODUCTION
is SEVENTY MILLION POUNDS

The copper production of Alaska in
1918 was 62,224,951 pounds, valued at
$17,09S,563, according to a report on
the Alaska mining industry in 1918,
just issued by the United States Geo
logical Survey. This is less than the
production in 1917, which was $685.,
400 pounds, valued at $24 ,240,598. The
reduction in output is stated to be due
to shortage of labor and ships. Dur
ing the year seventeen copper mines
were operated, the same number as
In 1917. A copper prospect on the
Alaska peninsula is under develop
ment and interest still continues, the
report states, in the copper deposits
Of the Talkeetna and Broad Pass dis
tricts. The copper deposits in the
Alaska range recently reported are
still attracting attention, although lit
tie work has been done on them The
deposit of copper discovered in 1915
on Rainy creek, tributary of the
South fork of Delta river, seven miles
above Miller's roadhouse, is said to
be large body of low-grade ore on
which considerable prosecuting has
been done There is also a low-grade
copper deposit in the gulch one and
one-half or two miles west Of Pax
sons roadhouse. A copper lode on
McLaren river, tributary to the SUI
sitna, is said to be ten feet wide and
of high grade. 1t was reported that
an outfit was to be taken in on the
snow in the winter of 1888 to pros
pect this deposit. A copy of this re-
port may be obtained from the direc-
tor Of the Geological Survey, Wash
ington, D. G.

The division has voted not to ask

union rules Konekamp still has power
to order strike, but in the opinion
of Mr.. Ewing he will not do so.
The situation yesterday showed no
change locally. Speakers at the strike
meeting insisted that the telegraph
service is impeded, but this statement
was denied by company officials. No
