Turquoise q Sacred Gem

The Zuni Indians. writes Richard
Dean in the Mentor Magazine, hold
the belief that the blue color Of the
sky is due to the reflection Of the
csht from an immense mountain Of
turquoise. Since the dawn Of human
intelligence the sky. remote and
beautiful. has been looked upon as
supernal. as the abode Of gods and
departed spirits. Small wonder, there
fore, that this stone Of azure hue
has been held sacred in all parts Of
the world, and in all ages. Perhaps,
too, this feeling Of mystic reverence
was intensified among peoples living
along the borders Of the ocean, by
the analogy OF the various bfue-green
tones found In this stone to the shift
ing tints Of sea water.
Because Of its sacred and mystic
character. the turquoise Is inshrined
in a thousand lovely legends. and
bits Of verse. The Arabs regard it
as their own special luck stone and
arc fond Of engraving upon 1t In gold
some magical character. a bit from
the Koran, or the word Allah, to in
crease its potency.

Daughters of Today" which
comes to the Colonial Theatre this
afternoon, is picture that promises
to be the subject of much discussion
locally. If one Is to judge from the
reports from other cities in which 1t
has played. While it is strictly
speaking straightforward drama
Of life among the members Of the
young jazZy set, it nevertheless has
proven to be a controversial subject
among a wide number of people in
all walks of life. Perhaps this Is be-
cause it has a subject that strikes
at the heart of every American
home today and asks pertinently the
doing? What is the company she
keeps and who is to blame when
tragedy stalks her footsteps of in
discretion?
Rollin s. Sturgeon, the producer
and director of the picture, has
sought it Is said in the story to de-
pict very vital phase of life and
has recorded in this dramatic nara
tive the unconventional and often
daring adventures of youth that has
taken the reigns of liberty in it's own
hands and has sought pleasure and
diversion along a reckless path.
A splendid cast headed by Patsy
Ruth Miller, Ralph Graves, Philo

Alaska Notes Gleanings From Territorial
 Exchanges.

The Chicagof mine, in the Sitka dis trict, which was closed last year after producing in round numbers SIP, GOO. GOO in gold and silver from 100000 tons of ore, and disbursed $5,000,000 in divi- dends, is again in profitable operation. The stamp mill was started at the end of January. The value of the February production was $3l ,000, of which Sl0,- 300 was pIoft, and the March produe- tion was $35, 000, of which $14,000 was profit. G. T. Jackson, formerly super intendent of the Jackling interests in Alaska, and associates are operating the mlne. When the mine was closed the operating expense was in the neighborhood of SIP per ton, so ore below that value was left in the mine. Mr. Jackson became interested, and from his examination he estimated that there was 10000 tons of ore running around BIO per ton, all of which, he estimated, could be treated at cost of about $5 per ton. The purchase and restarting of the. property cost less than S100000 it is said.

ASK UTLEY TO
FORCE DRIVERS
TO OBEY LAW

District Attorney Ernest Utley is
being asked to investigate eondi-
tions along the Salton Sea Highway
between Westmorland and Oasis
just beyond the Imperial Riverside
county line-witn a view to forcing
truck drivers 10 obey the law as
to load limits, both weight aud di-
mensions. Cotton laden trucks are
the chief trouble, say the complaints.
In many eases they are loaded too
wide in addition to overweights.
Passenger ears are forced off the
pavements by the hundreds daily
and serious accidents are narrowly
averted, according 20 the informa-
tion given the district attorney.
Heavy sand prevails almost the
entire distance and even if the
over width trucks get over to the
edge they reach considerably over
The half way line in the center of
the pavement. 1t is asserted that
many of the trucks are operating il.
legally aside from the charges stat
ed above.
