CALLS CIRCLE ENTERTATNS

Gen. Calls Circle entertained with
a "dress-up party" at post hall on
Wednesday evening, members and
guests being adorned in various mirth-
provoking costumes to the delight Of
all present.
A playlet was given by Mesdames
Mink, Kaap, Jerrett and Esther Kaap.
Little Miss Hildreth sang and Misses

The evening was somewhat disap-

so eager to see the ladies in costume
that they broke their way into the

side. The women folks scurried for
cover and the party broke up leaving
the unlimited guests in possession of

anthracite coal, but whether it oc- CUTS in beds sufficiently large and continuous to justify the expense of mining, is uncertain in view of the cost of building railroad to it. Very little prospecting has been done on the anthracite beds, and whether they include workable bodies of coal can be proved only by extensive ex- plora tion, both on the surface and underground.
 Prospects of Marketing the Coal
 The beds of bituminous coal near Chickaloon are so complex in struc ture that the coaY cannot be mined for general use in steam raising in competition with the more cheaply mined coals of the lower Matanuska Valley, where, though the coals are of lower grade, the structure is simp Ter. The utilization of the coals o1 the upper Matanuska Valley depends on the development of the market
Seward daily gateway., 1924-12-11

lower part of the Matanuska coal field has already been surveyed. A report showing the result of the work done in 1924, is now in preparation
 Little Mining Done
 No mines are now regularly operat- ed in the upper Matanuska Valley. Mines opened from 1920 to 1922 by the Alaska Coal Commission at Chick loon and on Coal creek produced coal of high grade, but the beds were so much broken up or altered by faults and bodies of intrusive rock as to make the cost of mining very high so that work was stopped. Develop ment work at mine on the west bank of Coal Creek, however, is be- ing continued by a private company.
 The field work of 1924 indicates that the coal bearing area east of Chickaloon is somewhat smaller than had been supposed. The dominant structure of the basis is synclinal, and considerable areas of it that lie now thought to be stratigraphically below the cOal-bearing horizons at Chickaloon and to contain no work able coal The coal beds at Coal creek and at O'Brien creek are be- lieved to lie in faulted synclinaI flods, most of the coal having been remov- ed from the corresponding anticlinal folds by erosion. The reserves of minable coal at each of these places are believed to be limited to q few hundred thousand tons.
 Beds of Anthracite Thick but Much
 Broken
 The coal-bearing area on the south flank of Anthracite Ridge contains beds carrying anthracite coal Of cx, cellent grade, which is exposed at many places. At place on the head of West Fork of Burlington Greek a bed of anthracite nearly 40 feet thick, crops out. In this area however, the coal-bearing formation is highly disturbed by folding, crumb- ling and faulting, as well as bodies of intrusive rock, such as dikes and sills. The coal beds appear to lie in synclinal basins, most of the up- per part of the folds having been removed by erosion. These beds no doubt contain considerable excellent

for a Superior coal that cannot be supplied from the other beds in this region, on price sufficient to yield a profit notwithstanding the compara- lively high cost of mining them, and on their ability to compete with coals of similar grade mined in other dis tricts. The high-grade blacksmith coal of the Chickaloon area and the anthracite must compete with coal mined in the eastern part of the United States but the cheapness of transportation of the high-grade Mat anuska coals to market on the west coast of the United States should favor their development. It is also possible that the market for the some what lower grade bituminous coals TOW being mined in the Moose Creek and Eska Creek districts could be extended to supply a demand now met by similar coal mined on Van couver Island.

Way to Put Pep Into Indoor Game
Is Set Forth by Stephen Leacock

T T is in the depth of Winter. when
the intense cold renders it de-
sirable to stay at home. that the
Z really Pleasant Family is wont
to serve invitations upon a few
friends to spend a Quiet Evening.
II is at these gatherings that that
gay thing, the indoor Winter game,
becomes rampant. 1t is there that
the old euchre deck and the staring
domino become fair and beautiful
things: that the rattle of the lotto
counter rejoices the heart, that the
old riddle feels the sap stirring in its
limbs again, and the amusing spilikin
completes the mental ruin of the
jaded guest. ;.
Then does the Jolly Maiden Aunt
PROFOUND the query: What is the
difference between an elephant and a
silk hat? Or declare that her first
is q vowel. her second a proposition,
and her third an archipelago. 1t is
to crown such a quiet evening, and
to give the finishing stroke to those
of the visitors who have not escaped
early, that the indoor game or family
reservoir of fun is dragged from it's
long sleep. II Is spread out upon the
table. It's paper of directions is un-
folded. Its cards, it's counters, it's
pointers and its markers are dis
tributed around the table, and the
visitor forces look of reckless
pleasure upon his face.
Then the few simple directions
are read aloud by the Jolly Aunt, in
structing each player to challenge the
player holding the golden letter cor
responding to the digit next in order,
to name a dead author beginning with
X, falling which the player must de-
clare himself in fault, and pay the
forfeit OF handing over to the Jolly
Aunt his gold watch and his money,
or having hot plate put down his
neck.

lief to the guests at entertainments

Fine Feathers.

The little house wren sat IN lts
tiny cage in the bird store and felt
very sorry for itself. Its bad enough
to be Gagged up and spend all my
time in this terrible bird store, but
to be right next to that pair of ma
caws is really too much. People take
one look at those birds and then they
never even see me. What chance
have 1 to get out of here at ail?
Next door, the macaws preened
themselves and strutted about their
cages or swung gayly on their
perches. They knew very well that
they were the chief attraction OF that
big bird store. 1t was only because
they were so expensive that they had
not been sold sooner. How their
beautiful red breasts shone and how
the bright colors flashed in their won
derful long tailfeathers. Passers by
saw them and came in to get closer
view of the beauties, so that they
were a good advertisement for the
store. They had been brought all the
way from South America and had
wonderful stories of their travels to
tell other birds in the store.
One dreary, late afternoon the bird
store was almost empty. The macaws
made lovely flashes of color in the
gloom. A beautifully dressed woman
ana ner little girl came INTO tne STORE
and began wandering around looking
at the different birds. II really don't
believe they have what we want"
the woman said, doubtfully. just as
q clerk came up.
The clerk took look at her rich
attire and then led her over to the
macaws. How would you like to
own these beautiful birds?" he asked
They're real South American ma
caws"
Gracious, no." shuddered the
woman. 1 wouldn't have those horrid
things in my house. They have the
most terrible, screeching voices, that
would drive me crazy. What we want
is a small. sweet-voiced bird for a
nook in our sun parlor. Why, look
here, Julia; here's just what we
want-this lovely little house wren

The players who are in the car
may elect to adopt standing atti-
tude, or to seat themselves, but no
player may seat himself in the lap
of another without the second play
ers consent. The object of those
who elect to remain standing is to
place their feet upon the toes of
those who sit; when they do this
they score. The object of those who
elect to sit is to elude the feet of the
standing players. Much merriment
Is thus occasioned.
The player in distinctive costume at
the front of the car controls a crank,
by means of which he is enabled to
bring the car to a sudden stop, or to
cause 1t to plunge violently forward.
His aim in so doing is to cause all
the standing players to tumble over
backward. Every time he does this
he scores. For this purpose he is
generally in collusion with the other
player in distinctive costume, whose
business 1t is to let him know. by a

players are not looking and can be
easily thrown.

to no end of banter and good-natured

Should q player who is thus flung
backward save himself from falling

player. he scores one. Any player
who scores in this manner is entitled
to remain seated while he may count

self or pay philopena No. 2.
Should the player who controls the
crank perceive a player upon the
street desirous of joining in the game
by entering the car. his object should
be: Primo, to run over him, in which
case all within the car score one;
secundo. to leave the tracks IL neces-
sary to get him; tertio, to let him
into the car, but to exact the usual
philopena.
