Luke McLuke Says

A wise man wont fool around with either dynimite or married women
 Our idea of a neryey guy is man who will stand in front of a window filled with the pink and white un- mentionables that are worn by the female sex, and stare at them for ten minutes.
 But when it comes to modern inn provements the city girl hasen't any thing on the country girl.
 The size of mans bank rool seems to worry a woman more than the size of his head
 When a women wants a hat she will examine GA before she picks out one but but when she wants a hus- band she takes the first thing that comes along.
 No man was ever so homely that his wife didn't imagine that the oth- CT women had designs on him.
 You may imagine that you are a good guesser. But the Champion guessor is usually prescription clerk in a drug store.
 The trouble with most of the Sound Advice you get is that it is nearly all Sound and mighty little Advice
 A woman's idea of a good trade is to swap some of the old things she needs for some new things she has no use for.

The Merchants Association of New York has already started the 1921 campaign against the house fly. It is urged that the campaign this year should be more vigorous than before because the winter has been mild and favorale for large crop of flies this year. Attention also called to the crcum- stance that the earlier the campaign starts the better it will be, for the flies that killed in April will rot bring forth generations of flies pes CT ms later in the season. It is contenGed by the New York Merchants Association that the vigorous campaigns that have been waged each year against house flies is causing the disappearance the pest and il wants the good work to go on.

 It will be remembered that where the Glory Hole now is there was once a creek running and that placer ground was worked there before the ledge was uncovered, and it is said that this new discovery has similar characteristics,
 The discoverers are extremely re- luctaht in claiming a great discov- cry, but with the coming spring will make every effort possible to develop the property.
 The entire matter k AS yet shroud. ed in the deepest kind of mystery; the exact location of the claims has not been divulged, the discoverers' names are not known to us, but we have the word of very reliable person and the whole thing is on the square and that all the statements are true.

VANCOUVER, B. C., Jan. 27 (by As sociated Press) British Columbia's salt herring packers are joining the salmon packers in the class of pro- dueers who are faced with difficulty in marketing their product. The bot tom has dropped out of the herring market and thirty dollars ton is the top price offered for fish that cost from $35 to $38. AS result the salt cries are being closed down and crews dismissed. Japan was one of the chief markets for British Colum- bias salt herring, and the Japanese financial collapse helped to flatten the market.

Don s. Rae, one of AIaska's pio- neer mining men, arrived in Seattle on one of the last boats. He came di- rectly from the Willow creek mining district, near Anchorage says the Alaska Dispatch.
 MT. Rae is president and manager of the Rae-Wallace Mining Company, also the Alaska-WilIow Creek Mines Development Company.
 The latter company made substan- tial strides in the way of material development on the quartz property during the summer of 1920, despite the backward season and indictment weather. The company controls 13 claims, one mill site and water right which are considered the equal in value of any quartz claims in the proven Willow creek district.
 During the past summer Mir. Rae has succeeded in building roads and bridges and excavated for mill site and buildings. All lumber and tim bers necessary for buildings and mine use are on the ground. Mir. Rae ex- poets to get an early start in the spring and push the work of further. development throughout the season. The company has somewhat changed it's plans and has decided that instead of installing a mill at this time it will be more economical to drive a crosscut tunnel of 1855 feet, which will cut one of the rich Assure veins, and also will be crosscutting the Shear zone which will develop the same at great depth, and will elim- mate the necessity of erecting over seven thousand feet of tramway
 The indications are from work done this season that the ore in the Shear zone will be shipping ore and will be composed of copper and gold Some float found in excavating for the tunnel site has assayed 65 per cent in copper and $7,2020O in gold.
 This company has four claims on this shear zone and joins the MabIe mine on the west end line.
 There are also three Assure veins on these claims which are partially developed by glacier actions. showing many thousand tons of good free-mill- ing ore. The main tunnel and raise on this property will serve as a stor- age and terminal which can be reached by short tramways. The company has come to the conclusion that it will be much better to install much larger mill than was at first planned MT. Rae will visit New York and other eastern cities before returning to Alaska in the spring.
 That development work will start next spring on a mine near Douglas that will in time, rival in size and productiveness the famous Treadwell mines, is the information we received | today from what is considered a very good source, says the Douglas Island News. Our informant said that just recently large placer mine, cover ing ledge of monstrous proportions,

A large amount of ore of great value was shipped south on the steam ship Albert from the Premier mine last week. The shipment totaled about 500 tons and it is expected to go $500 to the ton. The ore indicates the value of the great Premier mine, over which much litigation has taken place. It is expected 5000 tons more will go south this winter. Reports are that properties on Fish creek, on the American side, are also showing wonderful results.

To mine the ruby sands of Lituya bay, John J. Jenkins and Hardy Trefzger have left Juneau for that To- cality on the gas boat Patrol. The two men were in that city for ten days perfecting arrangements for the trip.
 Both of the men have spent a Hum~ Der of years at Lituya bay where the ruby sands of both the old and new beach lines have been mined for sev- eral years. There are no big paying propositions there at present, but at times men are able to take out better than wages by sluicing.
 Lituya bay has been the scene of many stampedes and experiments and at different times several com panies have spent much money in equipment for patent gold saving ma chimes that it was hoped would bring out the full values of the ruby sands. At the present time but a few miners work there.
