Comparatively few men nowadays
combine the dexterity and speed de-
manded. Faced by the necessity of
having to carve, the modern man Ell
Their shrinks back appalled, or takes up
the steel with martyrlike resignation,
and often with disastrous results.
1t was not so in the good old days.
A certain immortal chronicle records
that "Mr. Wilkes was very assiduous
in helping Doctor Johnson to some
fine veal. Pray give me leave, sir.
It is better here-a little of the brown
some fat. sir-a little Of the stuff
fng.'" But somehow, midway in the
carve passed from the commonalty.
The roast left the dinner table for the
sideboard. Perhaps buffers were then
both numerous and cheap, or perhaps
1t was evolution. Mr.. Strachey doesn't
tell. But no one disputes the fact.
The young Englishman Of today finds
'the roast beef Of Old England" as
impregnable as would-be invaders did
her wooden walls"
Yet the act Of carving gives to hos
pitality certain LONELINESS, an infor
mality, which meals served from side
board or kitchen seem to lack. II in
dicates the hosts personal interest In
each guest; 1t carries with 1t, more
over, suggestion of unselfshness
While working for others, the carver
must perforce forego, temporarily,
conversation, banter, repartee. He
must concentrate; he must make
haste; for the art is long, the time is
fleeing, and the plates cool.
Fortunately, the custom Of carving
the Thanksgiving turkey at the table
has become fixed part Of the days
ritual. That this gracious art is thus
kept from complete disuse, and is, in
deed, exalted by reason of It's associa-
ton with the most distinctly American
of the years holidays, may even ap-
pear to some old-fashioned, unprogres-
siye souls as an additional cause for
giving thanks.

OWNERS OF PA|NCE JOHN
 RECEIVE CASH

Jas. Nesbitt and Andy Archie this week received cash in full payment for the Prince John group of nine claims, and the Red Bluff group of two claims, Wm. Irwin being co-owner with them in the latter. The total consideration is $40,000. and is said to be the largest amount of cash ever paid at one time on a mining deal in this dis trict. The property was under bond to Captain c. A. Mackenzie, who assigned it to The Exploration Company of New Yorb, which is said to be powerful mining or ganization. The new agreement called for payment to be made "on or before the 31st day of March" i" and the purchasers have showed no disposition to wait for the final day. Nesbitt and Archie also have the Ruth and Francis group on Glacie! creek bonded to Captain Mackenzie and expect to make an- other little stake out of that, the bond calling for $5O.OOO.
 Jimmy Nesbitt told the Miner that this is the fourth stake he has made prospecting, the other three being in Nevada, where they hook ed the nickname Lucky Jim" onto him. He says he is not through with prospectine-not by a long shot-and that he is going to stay with it for the love of the game more than for the money there is in it. though it is rather a com fortable feeling to have a few thou sands in the bank.

SURPRISE PARTY FOR
 MR. AND MRS. TOOTH

One of the jolliest soclal events of the winter was a surprise party Thursday night at the Ocean View Hotel, the surpriSers being a bunch of Stewart people. with Mir. and Mrs. W. R. Tooth as the surprisees. A number of Hyder residents were let in on the jollification, which lasted until the wee sma' hours. Dancing was the piece d' resistance of the evening. with Will Cameron supplying rythmic melody at the piano. At midnight a delightful lunch. furnished by the ladies of the party, was served. Everybody is talking about what a good time they had, but then. they always have good time at the Ocean View.

RAWH|D|NG ORE FROM MOBILE !:
 FOR SHIPMENT

Ore is coming down steadily from the Mobile mine on the south fosk of Glacier creek, being rawhided to the old concentrating works of the Portland Canal company, and there transferred to freight sleds. On the return trip to the mine the rawhides are utilized for taking in supplies, The ore is from the upper tunnel of the Mobile, and assays from 200 to 600 ounces silver, eiv- ing an average of about $500 to the ton.
 The upper tunnel is in over 60 feet and has been in ore all the way from the portal. following a shoot of high grade steel gaIena that varies from eight to IS inches in thickness. No stopeine has been done as yet, only the product from the tunnel development being talk en out. It is probable that a ship ment of thirty or forty tons will be made to a shelter within the next ten days.
 The lower tunnel is in a distance of 17O feet and mnst be driven about 100 feet further to get under the shoot that is being worked above. This will give a depth on the vein of about 40 feet.
 The Mobile is well equipped and conveniently located. and rapid progress has been made there, in spite of the work not starting until after winter had set in.

INCREASING INDIAN MINE
 EQUIPMENT

Development at the Indian mine IS adding daily to the ore reserves at that property. The upper, or No, ] tunnel has been advanced to total distance of 400 feet and has been in ore all the way from the portal. This tunnel is being driven ahead on an ore body that outcrops for a considerable dis tance beyond the present work.
 The No. } tunnel giving a ver- tical depth on the vein of 200 feet below the No. 1, and 300 feet below the large surface cut in the galena outcrop, isalso being dn- ven. having reached, at the latest report, a lateral depth of I30 feet, the last 100 feet being in ore. An interesting feature in this tunnel is the fact that gold predominates in the metallic content of the ore, whereas silver and lead are prom inent in the upper levels. In view of the fact that all three tunnels are following the same vein, work has been suspended in the No. 2, where more than 400 feet of de velopment was done.
 It is the policy of the Indian Mines Company to put the prop erty on a paying basis with all possible dispatch. and to this end modem machinery and equipment ore being installed and all the men employed who can work to advan- tage. A Chicago Pneumatic air compressor with a capacity of BIO feet has just been purchased and will be installed shortly. A new bunk house and an office building are completed, an oil storage tank to hold I5,000 gallons is being constructed, and 400 barrels of oil taken in.
 At the annual meeting of the company, held recently in Prince Rupert. the capitalization was in creased by $7OO.0O0. which it is considered will provide ample funds for carrying out the proposed development and equipment pro- gram and make the mine seIf-sup- porting. The whole of the new stock issue is being placed in Mon treal.

NEW MAP OF ALASKA
 BY GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

The United States Geological Survey has just published a new map of Alaska. measuring 50 by B inches, which embodies the re- suits of all explorations made up to 1923. The map was compiled under the direction of R. H. Sar- gent, who has had Is years exper- fence in the surveying of Alaska. This work was begun before the war, and in 1915 a preliminary edition of the Alaska map was published, Since then it has been revised and is now issued as Map of Alaska (E,") on a scale of about 40 miles to the inch. It can be purchased for 25 cents from the Director of the U. S. Geological survey, Washington, DC. It Is printed in four colors and shows the drainage, glaciers. railroads and principal settlements and wagon wagon roads.

TITAN LOOKS :. ENCOURAGING
 UNIT SALES OFF

lEantplreq Tor the Iltan'oaimon River Syndicate this week; one i. that by crosscuttins at the mine, the manager. Jack Fitzgerald. has not only definitely determined the position of the main ore shoot in the big mineralized zone in which they have been tunneling all win. ter, but has opened up a large body of good milling ore. How large this is. he did not continue the crosscut to ascertain, but it IS pen- etrated eight feet. and assays from various places run from $20 to $40 in gold. The crew was plac- ed again in the face of the tunnel and are working double shift in order to reach the objective. a point under large outcrop of high grade ore, as quickly as possible.
 \ The face of the tunnel is in l7O feet and for some time the work has been in a hard. greenish quartz which is more or less mineralized with zinc and steel galena. The surface outcrop of ore shows the vein filling to be white quartz-pQr. phyry. and this is the material found in the crosscut. which was driven to the left, fifty feet from the portal of the tunnel, and at 8 depth of 60 feet below the sur face. At a point 30 feet further in the tunnel a round of shots broke into the same material on the left. indicating that the tunnel has been practically paralleling the shoot for its entire length.
 A slight turn is now being made at the face, and measurements have shown that with 30 feet more of driving the high grade outcrop will be directly above them. The val- ues in the crosscut are so much better than those obtained on the surface directly above it that Man ager Fitzgerald expects substan- tial increase under the high grade outcrop. where assays gave $9l gold and $26 silver. A depth under this outcrop of 200 feet will be obtained on the dip of the vein.
 The other event of importance is an announcement from s. P. Fitzgerald, who has been Outside for number of weeks financing, that sufficient funds are now on hand to complete the program laid out, As a conseouence. Titan units have been withdrawn from the market.
 Local residents have invested heavily in this project, banking their faith on Fitzgerald Brothers mining judgement and long stand ing reputation for square dealing. and have been watching the prO- gress of the work with more than an ordinary interest. All agree t4,at the results obtained with the

SOMETHING NEW IN HISTORY
SchooIboy Discovers That Nelson Won

One Round.

History is contained in the history
book is not half so entertaining as his
tory as written by the schoolboy when
he is being examined to find out what
he doesn't know. With the concise
ness of a press bureau, he has been
known to state: 1.-THE Battle of Wa
terloo was in 1066. Nelson said every
man should expect to do his duty.
Nelson won in one round"
Another boy seems to have got mixed
between geography and history. Ac-
cording to him, 1.-The feudal system lies
between the Humber and the Thames"
1t was the same young hopeful who
stated that his favorite character in
history was Henry the Eighth, because
he had eight wives, and killed them
all, and the last survived him."
An original genius told the exam
iner in writing, that swat Tyler lead

himself a pheasant, and that its cause
was that shilling pOultice had been

The COMPENSATION.

A popular clergyman says that IL
his sermon ever stretches beyond the
20 minutes to which he intends to
limit it, the words of his little daugh-
ter ring in his ears, and he reflects
that some of his congregation doubt
less share her feelings.
The occasion was the little girls
sixth birthday, which CHANGED to come
on Thanksgiving day.
She went to church with her moth
er and sat quietly through the service.
The sermon was unusually good, the
minister could not help thinking; he
had plenty to say, and he said it flu
emily.
"How did you like my sermon?" he
asked his young critic as they walked
home together, her small hand in his
big one.
You preached awful long, father"

THREE COUNTRY
BANKS ROBBED
One Man Wounded in Arm Drops
Sack Containing $4,000
While Entering Car.

Minneapolis-Fo the third time in
Il hours, outlaws raided a Northwest
county bank
Four men held up three employees OF
the First National Bank of Groton. S
D., looted the institution of $4,000 in
currency and negotiable securities, and
fed.
The loot was taken from the bank in
sack, but possession of the largest
part of the money was only temporary.
Peter Karokulis, proprietor of soft
drink parlor near the bank, opened fire
on the bandits as they left the build
ing, wounding one and causing him to
drop all but $1,000 of the loot.
The bullet is believed to have frac-
tured the robbers arm, as he screamed
with pain, lost his grip on the treas
ure sack containing $4,000, and his
arm fell Imply to his side.
The State Bank at Klossner, viii
lage on the Minneapolis & ST. Louis
railway near New Ulm, Mimi, was en-
tered by five bandits, who obtained
$4,000 after blowing the vault, while
residents of the village watched them
at work, unable to give battle or COM
municate with nearby towns because
of the telephone and telegraph wires
being cut.
At Mabel Mimi, near Winona, BAN
dts looted the First National bank Of
1000 in silver after entering through
an open window. The safe and bank
fixtures were wrecked, but the robbery
was not discovered until a. M, when
villagers found the front door of the
bank open. The robbers are believed
to have escaped on handcar, which
was missing from railway tool house
in the village. The machine was found
abandoned mile west of the village.

The "Tantony" Bell.

The "tantony" bell was rung from
churches in certain parts of NOrthamp-
tonshire at a. m. and at p. M, to
mark the times when cleaners in the
cornfield were to begin work and finish
for the day. In ancient times, the
''tantony" bell was rung TO call home
the swine-herd, and it is probable that
the name ''tantony' is a corruption OF
st. Antony, for centuries considered
the patron saint of swine-herds and
