REGARDING MINERAL VALUES

The iudcfatgabc spirits who launch into the Yukon hlls seeking mineral have been greatly encouraged or ate in finding silver in various and numerous veins It is understood that many have located properties of Turing appearance because of the quantity of bright metal the veins contain but the precaution is given by hose acquainted with the economic value oi ores that hc prospecor must be careful to put in his best efforts m search of ores of value In other words, there is dead line below which certain ores are not worth the while That dead line is a variable quantity.
 Just now the small volume of output and the long .au to the smeltcr fixes the line at high mark com pared to the ores mined in old countries close to the smell cr and the market Low grade ores, however may be- fore any great period be brought into the range of profit able operation bv reason of volume of tonnage in the area and by further reason of newer and more rapid means of transportation and other circumstances Just Iy i is stated by some of the most experienced mining engineers and gcologiss in the territory, silver bearing ores mined in the Mayo area must run approximately ~150 tom in order to make it safe to mine them The cost is stated of getting the ore out of the ground local haumg and smeItug, assay and other charges Wlll total approximately S13O a ton. This leaves moderate margin of profit ror ores averaging Sl50 Anything go- m biah is on the safe side and the higher the better.
 u to expect to take out ore in the remote area at pres ,u assayug low value and to break even is risky Lead s a drug i'm the world market and lead content IS mot favorable but some who contemplate entering the Yukon field hope to leave the lead the ground, cs- pccalv where the proportion is extremely large The ime likely will come when facilities for smelling and otherwise refining the minerals will be established m Yukon Then low grade ores will be desirable Hence
 those who can afford it. it is d will do well to hold to- .ctbcr their properties of low assay value Otherwise bc logical thing for the prospector to do who wants to rc on thc paying basis and carry himself and the coun- i. forward just now is to keep carefully in mind the idea of yauc to consult frequently with the ossayer on ros bordering on the doubtful and to not undertake to devote too much energy and time on opening the low radc leads when there others of higher grade to oc- cupy his attention.
 No doubt the land has many low grade properties and many of high grade. Just now 1t is the era of high grade ores in Yukon Let them receive first ottenhon and at the same time nurse the others along and bring them up as reserve, and in time the whole range oI mm-
 , production of the country will be enlarged to yol- luc that win crcatc,tic high tide of prosperity m this extensively mmcralzcd and highly endowed rcgion.- Dawson News

Mr. Shockey much better President OF the Worcester County
Sunday School Association than person Sug
get We do any fault with his work neither agree
with him that Sunday School needs MUCH advertsng
do not believe in paladng its failures. We do believe
preachers going into the pulpit and calling attention the empty
pews may be reflection the quality Of the preaching. We
believe quiet personal work for the church and Sunday School
Make attractions the Sunday School that will draw the young
peophave soca picne good orchestra connected with the
that the music alone will compel attendance Have life
fe e.! Make the Sunday School hol that will have 50
much that YOU and your people will take interest in

We do not believe the Sunday School needs much advertising
