INSPECTOR OF MINES is BACK
 FROM INTERIOR

JUNEAU, Nov. 23.-After having mushed something over 800 miles through the interior of Alaska with pack on his back and travelled by every known conveyance includ- ing steam boats, gas boats, Indian canoes and railroad trains, B. D. Stewart, territorial inspector of mines is back in his office in this city.
 MT. Stewart said today that he found the mining districts of the Interior rather quiet but that con- siderable prospecting was going on and that several districts including the Tacotna, Kuskokwim and Kan tishna looked very promising. He had nothing but praise for the work being done by the Alaska road com mission in several districts and said that it was doing much to open up country heretofore considered in accessible.
 The whole of the Alaskan Interior, according to MT. Stewart, will re- ceive a great boost upon the com pletion of the Alaska railroad, re- moving the terrible handicap of in adequate transportation in part, giv- ing the miners a chance to receive supplies over the railroad and the connecting lines of the government highways.
 Starting from Juneau on August 15 on his inspection trip, Mr. Stewart went from here to Cordova, thence to Chitina in the upper Copper River Valley and from there to Fairbanks over the Richardson High of the Road Commission and Fore man Dan Jones.
 Upon his arrival at Fairbanks, he visited the various creeks near there including the dredges on Fairbanks creek which are now closed down on account of a shortage of oil While at Fairbanks he saw the landing of the army flyers upon their return from Nome and saw Capt. Street of the squadron make landing on the river bar five miles from Ruby. He landed there at f in the afternoon, hoped off at 4:30 and was at Fairbanks at 7:30 the same evening. From Fairbanks MT. Stewart made trips to Nenana and into the Tolo- rana districts. En route down the Panama river he stopped off at Hot Springs and went through the min- ing district in that vicinity From took the steamer Herman for Holy Cross. There he secured an Indian gas boat and went from there to lnnoko and Iditarod. In the latter district he found mining activities confined to three dredges on Flat creek, where the output will be practically the same as last year. The Yukon Gold Mining Company he said, has worked out is ground on Flat creek and is dismantling it's dredges.
 He left Flat creek with horses and a pack train for Tacotna and on the way there visited Moore, Canes, and Yankee creeks where there is some mining of placer ground. Two dredges will be put in later on Yankee creek and one on Canes. It was expected that they would be installed early next spring but owing to the early freeze-up it is probable that it will be late next Tall or the following spring before they are completed. He found that the road commission was doing good

Pretty Chinese Legend.

One Of the prettiest legends of Chi
nese mythology is that Of the weaver
girl and the herd laddie who are said
to be two stars In the sky. -
In far off days, Joye took pity on
their loneliness and married them.
They were so happy in their connu-
bal bliss-this proves the date to have
been very long ago in the days of
"once upon a time"-that they neglect
ed their tasks and were banished to
opposite sides of the Milky Way,
where they wink at each other all the
year round, but r only allowed to
cross for q brief spell Of happiness on
the seventh day Of the seventh noon.
On that night shy maidens place q
few sticks Of incense with some sweets
and fruit on a table in the inner court
yard as an Offering to the two stars.
perhaps with an unexpressed prayer
that in their own case the course of
true love may run more smoothly than
1t did for the immortal lovers in the
sky.

vERBENA HELD AS SACRED.
Romans Believed That Leaves Of Plant
Would Protect the Wearsr
From injury.


The verbena plant wns held In the
greatest venerati0n by the ancient
Romans, who believed that a few
leaves Of It worn on the person
would protect against injury, and
Romsn brides who gathered and wore
q wreath of verbena were considered
fortunate.
The plant came by its name from
an old Roman custom. Whenever a
dispute was had with another nation
an official called verbanerius was sent
to discuss 1t with the offending u
try. This official wor a wreath OF
verbena. II war was decided upon nm

Varieties Of "smokes."

The Burmese maidens do exactly
what kipling says they do in his
"Road to Mandalay," for they smoke
a cigar ten inches long and as fat as
a good-sized candle, and with G. white
paper covering. The longest pipes
known are those used by the
natives Of the Belgian Congo. These
pipes have stems ten or twelve feet
long, with small bowls. If matches
were used to light them a friend would
be needed to apply the flame, but the
native gets his light by merely thrust
ing the bowl into his camp fire. In
Liege, in parts Of Ireland, and In the
southern United States, pipe-smoking
by old women is common.

East Linden street, Atlanta, Ga.
"The rheumatism was so bad
that her feet would swsll until
she couldn't get her shoes on
and her arms ached until
she said they felt like they
would drop off. Her head ached
and she had dizzy spells and
was SO nervous that she could
hardly sleep. Her appetite fail
ed and she lost steadily in
weight and strength. She was
unable to look after her house
work, and finally got so bad
that she had to take to her bed
and stay there for weeks.
"She tried all kinds Of mede-
cines, but nothing did her much
good, and | decided to have her
try Tanlac. After taking four
bottles her rheumatism was en-
tirely relieved, she had no more
headaches, is no longer nervous
and sleeps like baby. Her
appetite is fine and she is gain
