 Good progress is being made on the Independence development, at Hyder, according to Owney McFadden who, with Allan Carolan, has contract for 15O feet of underground work. The tunnel has been driven 70 feet since work started on the contract, and is now in 90 feet. For the last 30 feet it has been in solid ore of good milling grade, having passed through small dyke of barren rock such as is char acteristic of the mines in this district. The ore is fine-grained steel galena, with some copper, and since the dyke was passed all sides of the tunnel will average $40 per ton in value.
 The mill buildings, milling and min ing equipment at Thane, has been pur- chased from the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company by the Northwest Steel & Metal Products, Inc, of Seat tie. This is according to statement made by Emil Gastonguay business manager for the Gastineau Company at Juneau, who has received tele- graphic advices of the purchase. MT. Gastonguay said he is not able at the present time to state the exact purchase price.
 Work of dismantling and shipping of the equipment will begin shortly the exact date not being stated in the advices received by. MT. Gastonguay' he said. A man will be sent from Se- attle to supervise the work and all local labor will be used. The number of men to be employed will depend on the program decided on by the pur- chaaers. and which has not yet been announced.
 The Northwest Steel & Metal Prod nets. Inc, was represented in Juneau Inv B. Levine. Besides this concern ali, others have sent representatives to Juneau to look over the mill equip ment at Thane. Two men, represent ing firms in the States. are in Juneau at the present time and expect to leave on one of the next southbound boats. Walter Lukens, in charge o1 the road work in the Kuskokwim for the Alaska Road Commission, who was a recent visitor to Cordova, says the mining outlook in that section IS very bright. MT. Lukens has been chle1iy at Ophir and Tacotna, between WHICH n,ace a road was constructed for a nortage. connecting the upper waters of the Innoko and Tacotna Rivers. he- nair work was done near Ruby and rditarod and a bridge was construct od across Salatna Creek, near Long Mir. Luken said.
 The winter weather in the kusRo- kwim has been ideal for travel ana freighting, MT. Lukens said. TWO dredges are being freighted in to the creeks to be operated next season.
 The Plume Dredge Company Will lh- stall a dredge on Little Creek' oo tween Ophir and Tacotna. The co'n- pany has operated dredge on Yankee Creek the rast two years, and sa'ls- factory season this past year IS re- ported. .a

MANY VARIETIES OF HATBAMD
History Shows That Particular orna.
mentstion Has Been Worn since
Long Before Christian Era.

From the descriptions discovered on
the walls of ancient temples it is APP
parent that, us far back as $500 B. c.,
Egyptian women used band with
streamers to fasten their hair, tying
this in bow at the back or side. This
style was retained by many people,
through many centuries, and in the
Fourteenth century it was used as a
"flet'-merely straight band with
out streamers, which held the hair
away from the forehead and the eyes.
1t was this tilet which gave rise to
the streamered headdresses which
were much in vogue during the reign
of james l, when, one reads, "Erdy-
mion Porter wore his wife's diamond
necklace on his hat during tour in
Spain, but it appeared like paste be-
side the gorgeousness of the duke of
buckingham, who more the Mirror Of
France (the finest diamond in Eng
land) with a little black feather on
the side of his hat"
This passion for expensive headgenr
passed with the waning of the styles
of bright colors in mems clothing-but
the hatband was retained because of
its decorative quality, and because
men have become accustomed, through
thousands of years, to seeing it worn
in one form or another

Deafness No Bar to Composition.

The piano, once Beethoven's, and of
extra heavy tone because of the com
poser's deafness, which was recently
discovered in Vienna, will doubtless
be acquired for the Beethoven museum
in the royal library at Berlin-one of
the most pathetic collections Of the
kind in the world When the first
symptoms of deafness became appar-
ent in 1897, the great master became
the prey of anxiety bordering on de-
spar, consulting doctors and Quacks
alike in hope of relief, and the Berlin
collection bears witness to the variety
Of ear trumpets and such.llke devices
which he tried in the vain hope of as
slsting his weakening sense,
Yet 1t was after lie was dead to all
sense of sound without that Beethoven
wrote some of his grandest music.

Wireless Hour Signals.

When ship is approaching shore
great caution is often necessary be
cause of uncertainty as to the yes.

years ago that it was first proposed
that wireless telegraphy be utilized 70
send hour signals over the sea round
England to distance of 200 or SOC
miles from shore, in order that the
captains of incoming ships might thus
be enabled to rectify their chronom-
eters to Greenwich time. The gov
ernment of Canada thereupon estub-
lished a system of this kind at Cam
perdown, near Halifax. Every morn
ing the exact hour is sent out over the
sea, so shat all vessels furnished with
receiving apparatus may pick up the
true time from the air.

Douglas is Elsie Pilcer, a dancer. and
a foil for his outbreaks of travesty.
She is a clever dancer and wears the
