Since you quite evidently are not

girl find it out now, rather than after
the wedding. The only honorable
way to do it is to let her break the
engagement, after you have given
her the opportunity.

 The Alaska Department dec lures that a considerable imprOv -C,nent has been noted in metal mining investments and develop ment. It says, More prospectors are going into the hills and mini ng men everywhere are looking for properties. It is highly desir able to aid in the development ot the tremendous mineral resourc es of the Northwest by bringing together the prospector and claim owner and investor and develop CT to discourage wild eating which costs thousands of dollars and invaluable time"

DR. A. H. BROOKS
 BIOLOGIST DEAD
Washington, Nov. 22. pr


 Alfred H. Brooks, Chief Alaskan Geologlst, died here today at the age of Az years. He had been con nected with the Geological S,lrv ey for more than d quarter of a century and head of it's AlaSka Bureau for the past 20 years
 Dr Brooks was the author of many official reports on Alaskan mineral reglons. His most pret entious report is a mono graph on the Mt Mckinley and Kant ishna districts, tie most comp lt-te document in eXiStance that deals with those sections.
 Most of his time in%Alas ka was spent in the field, little of it in the towns. He had wide ac quaintance with the old timers, pioneer prospectors who scatter ed afield following the bonanza days of the early Yukon and Tan ana River camps and Nome. It is said that a casual remark ma de by him led to the discovery of gold on the upper Tolovana River which resulted in the stan pede to that region in 1914 and the town of Brooks was built there. Several million dollars we re produced there in the first few years of it's history and tits still a producer.
