they make me think of Porthos or DArtagnan insulted and ready to fight.
 Stores Owned by the Clerks
 There are several department stores here that do & business run ming into the tens of millions of dol lars a year. N One of these is on the cooperative N principle, with the clerks among the Stockholders. I un- derstand the shares are steadily in- creasing in value from year to year, and that every clerk in the store gets a per centage above the amount paid him as wages.
 In that store all employees are fed free of charge. They have a break- fast at noon which is much like our dinner. It consists of soup. meat, vegetables and dessert. There were 1000 men at the tables the other day when I entered the dining room and several hundred women at meals in the room adjoining. The dining hall Is 500 feet long and it covers about half an acre. It has so win dows. I noticed that each clerk had q bottle of wine at his place, and that everyone had coffee at the close of the meal. This store pensions its employees after they have served certain number of years.
 Poor Business Methods
 In many respects it seems to me that the merchants of Paris have poor business methods. The ordinary store has no cash register nor cash carrier, nor even cash boy or cash girl. When you make a purchase the clerk must carry the article to the three or four bookkeepers who sit behind a counter at one end or in the midst of the store. Here she shows the goods and her sales slip to the bookkeeper, who copies the items and prices in his ledger with ink and pen. Just yesterday I bought at the bar gar of the Hotel de Vile, a basket trunk as big as writing desk. The frail girl who sold it to me bent half double as she showed it along the room. covering a quarter of an acre, till we arrived at the bookkeep- CTS on the opposite side of the store. I took out my watch and found that 1t took me just 20 minutes to have the purchase recorded and order the goods sent to my hotel. There is al- ways a long queue of customers about the bookkeepers, and this clogs the business. Indeed, 1t seems to me that Paris often uses three men to every one in New York or Boston. There is great waste of labor in stores, and the customer has to do a share of the work in every purchase he makes.

The inhabitants of the Neu-Pon- mern, an island in the south Pacific, are said to have q custom peculiar to this island, of confinIng their girls in cages until they are old enough to be married The cages are made of the palm trees and the girls are put into them when two or three years of age. The cages are built Inside of the houses. and a girl Is never allowed to leave her house under any circumstances. The houses are closely fenced in with a sort of wicker work made Of reeds. Ventilation is rendered difficult, but in. spite of this and all other diffi- culties the girls are said to grow up strong and healthy.

 The installation of vacuum tube transmitters of 1,20o-kilowatt power and Telefunken spark set for ship to-shore work are nearing comple- ton at Malabar. The high-power station is designed for direct com- munication with Holland. The cor responding station at Kootwijk will not be completed for several months. Radio telephone stations are being constructed in the Dutch East h. dies at Soerabaja and Macassar The radio telephone stations are not de- signed for broadcasting in the same way that this work is being carried on in the United States, since the sta- tions are primarily intended for gov- ernment use and not for amateur ex- pertinent purposes.

AL,ASKA'S FIRST OIL
 DISCOVERY REPORTED

Tn his annual report, Alfred ii. Brooks says, concerning oil discover ies in Alaska:
 The petroleum produced in Alaska in 1921. as in previous years was de- rived from a single patented clallA in the Katalla oil fields. This prop ertv is owned by the Chilkat Oil Co., which uses it's entire product in it's own refinery. Except for the work done by this company, there was no drilling in the Alaska petroleum fields. The stalking of Alaska oil claims be- gan in 1920 and continued in l92l Some claims are in regions of known seepages and favorable structure and some are in wildcat territory, not un- commonly in areas where what IS known of the geology is unfa$orapie to the occurrence of oil. Drilling ill some of the Alaska oil fields Will no doubt be undertaken in 1922.
 In July, 1921, petroleum seepage flowing about 2 ounces a day was found about one mile southwest ol the town of Anchorage. This was visited by Alfred H. Brooks, who re ports that it emerges from gravel bank on top of a strata of clay. It's bedrock source Is unknown, for the region in which it occurs largely GOV cred by gravel, sand, and clay to depth of 200 feet or more. Other seepages are reported near Anchorage An examination made under private l auspices of the long known locality several large seepages. so far as known, these are the only new dis soyeries of petroleum seepages made in Alaska during 1921, though others are reported.

ALASKA MINING
 NOTES

fiicent to run day and night shifts can be put on when breakup time comes. A working shaft is down and an outfit of provisions, consisting of more than three tons, is being freight ed from town to the claim.
 George Lefever accompanied by Paddy Moran, left for Mills creek, tri- butary of Lake creek in the Talkeetna district, to commence their seasons work, An outfit sufficient for the en- tire season was taken along, the men inteding to devote all of their time in developing claims which they have To- cated and in searching for the elusive, paystreak. The section in which they will work in one that may be destined to become a good dredging proposition the country being favorable for mining Of that nature. Others who are in- terested in that section will be leav- ing soon
 The Smith Brothers, at their mine on the St. Patrick's creek divide, near Fairbanks. have struck the ledge which they have been sinking toward, it is reported from the creek.
 The ledge was encountered at the 200 foot level, and is said to have been found in place. The body had been penetrated only two feet when the re- port was received, but it was fully as promising as had been anticipated. Another eight feet will be driven be- fore the hanging wall is encountered, it is believed.
 Within the past few days attention has been drawn to the Nelchina min ing district through the recording Of placer claims located on Alfred creek, the recording having been done by A. c. Christoferson, who is operating in that section. At the present time the mining man is busily engaged in haul ing supplies to his holdings from Chickaloon. Much activity may be looked for in this district this spring and summer, as the mining game will receive an impetus through the re- duced cost of supplies and the ability to purchase from local merchants. The district may receive further boost for prominence owing to a deal which is now pending with New York and Massachusetts parties, the details Of which have not been made public.
 T. Wilson, an oldtimer in the Wran- gell district. who has made numerous expeditions in search of the Lost Rocker reports a strike on Thomas Bay. Samples from the new discov- erv were sent to Juneau, and the re- mort from the assay office shows the ore to run $19 gold and $1.20 silver to the ton. Powder has been ordered from Campbell Brothers of Wrangeil' and a party will leave Petersburg Tn a few days to open up the ground ana find the extent of the ore body. oscar Wickstrom will be in the party that 1 will go out to open up the ground

IN THE UNITED STATES COMMIS- SIONER'S COURT FOR THE TERRITORL OF ALASKA, THIRD DIVISION, CORDOVA, CORDOVA PRECINCT, AT CORDOVA. IN PROBATE.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-06

! Having given the Chandlar district the "once over," Harry Beach. well known oldtimer, who left Nenana last fall, writes that conditions there are not such as to warrant the belief that good ground is to be had for the stalk ing. The weather, he says, has been good, with quite a lot of snow but no cold weather up to the time the letter was written, on December 13. The letter was written at Beaver, on the Yukon river, and read as follows:
 This is a hard country to get into. The distance from Beaver to the dig gings is 12O miles. Most of the sup plies are hauled by dog teams and it takes so much to feed the dogs and a man that one cannot make much freighting at 15 cents a pound. It takes 12 days to make the trip.
 There are two claims that have pay Curley Smith is in the money on Little Squaw and o. J. Nicholson has some good ground on Big Creek There is lot of prospecting going on throughout the district and the whole country is staked. I would not advise anyone to come to the Chand- lar thinking they can drop on paying claim, for that is hard problem.
 We have lot of good wood, but all the wood on the creeks is green and they have trouble with it. They pay $8 per cord for cutting 16 foot wood and it costs $40 per cord de- livered at the claims. They pay $6.50 per day and board for labor
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-06

There is considerable activity in the Hot Springs district this winter in the way of prospecting and preparing for operations during the coming sum- mer. according to Chas. Whelan, who arrived in Fairbanks. He made the trip up the river trail driving the Anders team of dogs and bringing along the racing sled which belonged to the late deputy, which he will try to dispose of there.
 Drilling operations are in progress on the Book ground on Woodchopper, there is some work in progress on Boulder Creek and ground is being opened up on Eureka in preparation for hydraulic operations on that creek next summer.
 MT. Whelan reports that there are about 35 men on Eureka, about the same number at Tofty and five fam lilies at Hot Springs.
 The recent resignation of C. M. Browning as U. s. commissioner, was the cause of general regret throughout the district, Whelan reports. The oblging ways of the official have made him very popular with the min CTS and when they learned that it was his intention to give up his office, there was general rush for the Springs to have papers recorded in order that he might have the benefit for that part of Alaska.

Charles Opdyke, engaged for seV- eral years in work on Nome creek, of the Beaver district, is attending to the movement of supplies to the hold ings in which he is interested
 MT Opdyke says that he and his
 partners, Cliff and J. O., Mcclellan,
 are preparing to work their ground
 next summer. which is situated on Nome creek and consists of about four miles of the channel, with a dragline scraper, and he also brings the news
 that Chas. German. holding a like amount of ground above them, will
 also install a dragline which he in-
 intends to have on the ground by next fall.
 Opdyke, the McClellans and German
 have been engaged in prospecting for
 several years, have lined up the pay from one end to the other of their holdings, and are thoroughly confident in the outcome of the method of oper- ation they are about to pursue. Years
 were taken to prospect as the ground
 on upper Nome is thawed and it was l necessary therefore to freeze down all l holes. The geologic formation, too, is said to be favorable not only to Nome, on which the prospecting was 1,,,t fN csprrr

noted yesterday that the Victory 42As,

government is expected to depend upon
short-term notes rather than certih-

Foreign Exchanges React

The foreign exchange market yester-
day maintained for a brief period the
advancing trend so pronounced of late
Sterling cables were run up to a new
top at $4.39 and francs and lire, among
others, recorded the best levels at
talned on the movement. Then the
long expected reaction came, and it
was sharp. Sterling in short order
was below S4.37 and in the afternoon
touched 4 low Of s4.355s, from which
it recovered only fractionally. The
other exchanges moved corresponding
ly. Profit taking sales figured exten-
sively in the reaction, uncertainty as
to President Hardings decision on the
Genoa conference, to be announced TO-
day. and the approach OF the holiday
contributing TO the nervous condition
Of the market here. The closing quo
tation on cables in London was S4.37Ss
and. in view Of the leadership assumed
by that market, intense interest exists
IN the opening there this morning.
