ALASKA CHAPTER MINING CONGRESS
 SEEKS MEMBERS

The Alaska chapter of the Amer ican Mining congress, with head quarters at Fairbanks, has com menced an active campaign for the purpose of adding to its member ship, and reports received from Fairbanks would indicate that those in charge of the campaign are meet ing with much success.
 The American Mining congress is a national organization of min ing men devoted to the upbuilding of the mining industry. It has various branches, such as the Alaska chapter at Fairbanks, in various parts of the country, and is SUD- ported entirely by the fees and dues of it's members. It has a paid sec retary in Washington, D. C., who sees to it that legislation, tending toward improving of mining con- ditions and aiding the industry, $ properly introduced in Congress and passed by that body.
 It is striving to bring about: First-Safety and efficiency in min ing operations. Second-1ntelligent conservation with a view to the highest development of our min eral resources. Third-The stimu- lation of investment in practical mining operations, showing that mining is legitimate business, promising, when intelligently con- ducted, larger profits with less risks than any other business. Fourt'- Uniformity in state laws governing mining operations carried on under like conditions. Fifth-Such fed eral cooperation, through research and investigation, as will furnish the basis for intelligent state legls- lation and will solve those prob lens of economical production, treatment and transportation, which are an essential to an increase ia mineral production. Sixth-The improvement of economic conditions underlying the coal industry.
 There are several Nenanaites who are already members of the Alaska chapter of the American Mining congress, and when sufficient number of them have joined, it will be possible to form local branch of the chapter. Everybody interested in mining and those who have the future welfare of Interior Alaska at heart should become members of the mining congress and thereby take an active interest in the development of the rich min eral resources of the Interior.

The Gentleman from Kentucky

IN JUNE the sun gets up early.
l So do babies, and small children,
and old people-and such others as love
the air and the sunlight and the fresh :
ness of the early morning hours, while
the dew is on the grass and leaves, and
the air is as if it had been washed and
polished, and hung out to dry.
Senator Maxwilton was one of such ;
and that morning was like the preced =
ing one, although Katherine was not
waiting to greet him as she had been
yesterday.
The earliest of the servants invariably
encountered him in one of the paths, or
saw him seated upon one of the YER
anda chairs or found him in the stables
among the hunters and cobs, petting
them, and feeding them sugar. The
senator was a typical Kentuckian, and
loved horses.
He came out that Monday morning
with the first rays of sunlight-Came
out. as had been his habit in his own
southern home, and continued in his
daughters, by one Of the windows.
His movements, without intention
happened to be noiseless, and as he
stepped outside he saw Belknap-ant
was on the point of going forward

he jumped to his feet, and off he went
at such pace that he was soon lost
to sight, and Chief Hoppity hop went
with him.
Now we will turn the army toward
the lake!" cried Billy. But he and
Peggy soon found this was not so easy
as it seemed. The hoppers were eat 4.
ing as fast as they could, and as thew
ate Hoppity hops messengers ran
among them in a whisper :. Eat, eat.
eat the corn eat until every blade is
shorn."
I'VE must sing and charm them to !
ward the lake." cried Peggy, and she
began little song, in which Billy
joined.
Hopping hoppers, hop away,
Do not harm the corn today;
Hopping hoppers, do not stay,
Spare the farmers field, we pray"
But the hoppers paid not the slight 4
est attention to the song. They kept up
their hopping march toward the cord
field, whispering all the time: Eat
eat, eat the corn; eat until every bladd
Is shorn."
Peggy and Billy looked on in dismay
They could not turn the tide Of hop \
pers from the corn field. They started
to sing again, but almost hopelesslyl
when they heard the voice of the fairy !
humming bird: "Sing, sing, but re \
member what I said. "If yoti
would charm the grasshoppers, sind
only that which pleases them"
At once Peggy and Billy turned theiI
song from warning into glad song
of invitation.
Fair fields lie beyond the lake,
Would you Of their joys partake?
Hasten, hasten, eats await;
Hurry, hurry, don't be late"
Thus they sang, and when the grass
hoppers heard the new song the effect
upon them was sudden and surprising. \
(Tomorroo t1tll be told hoto PeggyI
and Billy nearly get carried atoay.)

receivable" they put up was absolutely
worthless.
At Dukes instruction Purvis trans
ferred the loan from Miss Maitland to
the Meter Jewel Company, and that
concern received the worthless paper of
the printers as part of the proceeds from
the sale of the sapphires.
Staatburg was convicted and given a
heavy sentence. Gorridge was released,
for the evidence against him was legally
weak. He took over the remains of the
Meter Jewel Company after dissolving
the unfortunate partnership with Staat
burg.
At heart he was a good fellow and
he was hard worker. With this handi-
cap, he decided to make fresh start to
live an honest life. One of his first acts
was 70 talk things over with the printers
wk Sc worthless paper he held.
The result was that, to save trouble
for themselves, they both went to work
for him at the standard wage. But
they had to pay half their wages every
week toward the debt.
/Purvis gave up his business-his
health gave way. His will, never
strong, snapped, and, poor unfortunate
he died few years afterward in All in
sane asylum.
As soon as Gorridge 80 his shat
tered business under way he called on
Bruno Duke and asked him what he
would charge to act as his business
| counselor.

And with that he darted forward. his
fists flying, and thumped Chief Hop
pity hop square on the nose.
"Crickety crack My, what a
whack!" rustled Chief Hoppity hop,
letting go of Peggy and grabbing his
nose. what, ho, the guard -
Here's another ~ sang out Billy,
and he gave Chief Hoppity hop a Sec
ond thump, that sent him tumbling over
the edge of the Giants hat, and right
down the Giants back inside his shirt.
Right then lot of things happened
all at once. The Giant of the Woods
let out a yell that was like a loco
motive shrek, and gave a jump that
sent Peggy, Billy and the guard fly
ing in all directions. Then as the
Giant felt Chief Hoppity hop crawling
along his bare back he squirmed and
twisted and slapped himself in a wild
frenzy. He didn't know that Chief
Hoppity hop was just a grasshopper
and thought that he might be a wasp
or some other stinging insect of that
kind. He turned somersaults and he
rolled over and he thrashed around in a
mad way that caused whole lot more
commotion among the grasshoppers than
his club swinging had done. Finally

Sweep up the sawdust when Johnny

Of dust there may be potential silk
stocking or pair of silk stockings-if
Johnny has done real Job of wood
saving.
Sages experimenting In the Syracuse
School of Forestry have discovered,
they say, that silk stockings can be
made from a new thread produced from
sawdust. These stockings, they add,
could be sold at a good profit at fifty
cents pair. The wood stockings look
like silk, feel like silk, wear as well
as silk and are silk in every sense ex-
cept that the silk worm has no part in
their production.
But that is not the sole wonder that
has come from Syracuse University in
this hour of high prices. There are
other products of sawdust. Castings for
sausage can be made, beautiful to look
at and serviceable, if the buyer has any
sausage to put into them.

A Final Curtain Is Rung Down

A Final Curtain Is Rung Down
A FTER the exciting night in Purvis's S
L \ office I went home tired out, but so
ncrvously excited that sleep was i'm
possible.
| How calm and restful and sane it
seemed, after the dramatic episodes of
the night, to get home to Mary and
the peace of happy, quiet homeland
yet I would not give up the remem-
brance of that evening for much.
Our work that night was a success
and failure Staatburg and Gorridge
finished the night in the Tombs. Duke
had their stock Of jewels which, when
sold, more than satisfied Miss Matt
lands claim against Purvis.
But Foley escaped. How he did it
may never be known, but it is surmised
that when he switched off the light in
the office he dived around Purvis's desk
and along the outside wall back of the
toilet room door. AS the detective
rushed into the room he slipped out,
and, slamming the door behind him,
climbed onto the fire escape. Then
seeing the little patch of light from the
toilet window, reasoned that it spelled
danger for him, so noiselessly he climbed
up the fire escape, and either found a
window open, or found one on the
higher stories, and so got into the
building again.
How he escaped them we do not
know, for the ground floor exits were
all guarded. All the offices above the
twelfth floor were examined, but no
trace of him was found.
From that day to this no trace has
been found of one of the cleverest dia-
mond smugglers that ever baffied the
police.
Purvis was as hopeless and helpless
as child and did meekly what he was
told.
The sapphires were sold and brought
about $50, 900. From this sum Miss
Maitland received her money in full
NEARLY $50, ,O00). The balance was
turned over to the Meter Jewel Com
pany.
One interesting thing that happened
was this: Purvis had loaned some OF
Miss Maitland's money to Harvey d
lJones, the printers. These printers
were, as I have already said, out and
out scamps and the collateral OF 'pilis
