bushes were like trees, with stems as thick as mans forearm, and so dense that it was impossible to force a way through them, while the willows grew to tree size and it was possible to walk along the branches. Some of the trunks of the latter were fully one foot and half thru vines grew to length of about 60 feet and nettles and ferns were both oI unusual height.
 During the winter there was no frost in this valley and for about 25 miles along it there is open land suitable for ranching. the width of the bottom being estimated at four miles. In other sections it is a mixed park-like country which would need clearing of birch and willow. but there are considerable areas open in patches. Perry states that in addition to marvels of veg citation the minerals in this un- known terrain are quite equal in their unusual quantity. In differ ent formations, but close together. gold, silver and copper were found. some of the samples viewed in Ed monton and brought out by Perry being apparently rich, In particu- lar he struck three veins which were particularly good. These were about forty feet wide and a hundred and fifty feet long. but there are thousands of others. says the engi- neer. Coal there is, too, with iron in proximity; of the first named what practically amounts to a whole mountain was found. one seam meas uring 500 feet across the strike, while the largest iron ore seam met with ran to about two hundred feet thick as far as the explorer could judge.
 In addition. oil formations were met with. and numerous seepages found, and though to some the whole story may sound like fairy tale. Perry states that substantial tion will be forthcoming, as he has interested big capitalists in the dis coveries he has made, and he is en- deavoring to arrange to take in a party who will invest money in 1t. ' fter they have investigated and confirmed what is written here. Following the tactics of the In- d,ans, the lone traveller has lived on moose meat solely. but unlike the aborigines. he combined science with necessity. and from the moose he states that he has obtained all the food essentials required. Salts and carbohydrates were obtained by boiling the bones in a certain man. ner, while from other portions oi the animals beef extract was secur- ed. The hide was cut into strips an inch wide and foot long, which was roasted and from which the traveller obtained essential oils. On a diet of this description the ! engineer states that he is able tc travel for eleven hours without feel the need for further food. while the Indians who do not use theiI
 meat scientifically must eat ofter and hence make slow progress.

ABOUT ADVERTISING

If you are not advertising. then advertise because it saves money for you and 1t reduces the price to tke customer.
 Advertising prevents profiteering. I: insures honest profits and makes them permanent.
 All progressive American busi- ness men advertise.
 Tell the public about your goods. The customer has plenty of money. He is willing to spend it and we want him to spend it in Alaska.
 The easiest. quickest and most economical way in which this can bc accomplished is by advertising ard the best place to advertise is in the Nome Nugget.

 The area of the terrain is roughly ,ouh0 miles north and south, and 300 no' lies wide; it lies between the .nd' astal range and the Lizard and Ft. Mot, ,,son Rivers and contains factors etherto unknown to Canadians.

 N This country is never visited by the Indians due to the fact that the \ \imprints of huge three-toed pre- S historic animals are found in the H sandstones and shales; the Indians i think these monsters still roam the
 country. and although they know it to be hunters paradise they give the valley a wide berth. In addi- kH tion to the hot springs some of
 which break from the ground at a " boiling temperature, there are min. n eral springs of various descriptions. The black soil is of depth which N Perry estimated at between sixty

Trying to Get Men to
Discard Wearing Skirts

PREDEAL. Pennsylvania, June
24.-Since Rumania wrested Tran
7ylvania from the Austrians, efforts
have been made to get the men to
discard their skirts and wear mod
ern masculine attire. But they have
resisted all attempts to deprive them
of their hand-embroidered shirt
waists and lace-trimmed petticoats.
They declare that trousers and
coats are unsightly as well as un-
sanitary and unbecoming, and they
have given notice to the Rumanian
authorities that they will brook no
invasion of their traditional habits
Of dress.
In this part of the Balkans the
raiment of the women is no less
novel than that of the men. The
well-to-do natives wear garments
made of solid gold coins over rich
lace embroidery. The coins are
handed down to them as heirlooms
from generation to generation, the
number and weight of the gold
pieces being a sure token to the
outside world of the degree of opu-
lence of the wearer and an ever
present incentive to the neighboring
SWANS to marry them.

NEW FIRE ESCAPES FOR
DOUGLAS SCHOOL HOUSE

With about $S5 on hand which is
to be used for the purpose of pro
viding more adequate fire escapes
for the school house, the Douglas
Island Womans Club is anxious ito
put the money to work and get the
escapes started.
To that end a joint meeting of the
Woman's Club and the school board
was held at the school house last
night and permission was officially
granted the club by the board to have
the fixtures installed.
Although the money on hand is
only about half enough to see the
work completed. the project can be
started and before the fire escapes
are finished more money will have
to be raised in some way to pay it
all. 1t is planned to have them
ready by the opening of the fall
term.
