result of her South Sea dancing

As the story goes, Gilda was driven
into the movie houses by the refusal
of a prominent vaudeville booking

week for the charming Gilda and six
equally charming feminine assistants.

Colorful History.

DERHAPS no vessel in the history
of the world has had such a color
full and interesting career as the ia
nous frigate Constitution. hero of 40
naval actions.
The story of this schooner. now
being produced for pictures by James
CruZe. under the title of "Old Iron
sides" dates back more than a cen
turY and quarter. An exact dupl-
cate of the famous old ship is to be
built by Paramount to be used in
"Old Ironsides."
Designed by Joshua HUMPHREYS Of
Philadelphia on what were then new
lines ba sed on those of the fast French
friGateS, the keel of Constitution was
laid at Hartt's shipYard. Boston, in
1874. The construction of the ship
involved several new features which
enabled her to outsail and outma-
neuVer her opponents. She carried a
very large amount of sail and very
heavy battery of 24-pounders on gun
deck. This deck was unusually high
above the water line that the guns
could be used in the toughest sea.
Al this period 1S-pounders were the
usual cannon on frigateS.
The boat was rs feet on the water
line and the truck of the mamma st
was more than 200 feet from the
waterline. In the construction of the
boat exceptionally heavy timbers
were used. many of which have sur
vived to the present day. The hull
lines were very fine under water and
much like the present day racing
yachts. 1t WIS because of her heavy
sides and maneuvering ability under
sail that she was brought out of her
engagements scarcely DANA Ged.
The copper bolts and sheeting for
the vessel were made by Paul Revere
and the first flag flown from the boat

~ 1913 the United States trade in the
Atlantic had grown TO large proper
tons. Rich cargoes were shipped
back and forth under the American
flag. The Barbary Corsairs who had
been confined to the Mediterran mean
for more than two centuries by the
Spa nish and Portuguese. found them
selves badly in need of prey. The
American merchant marine was most
inviting. At that time all the great
nations of Europe We're paying the

In 1904 the Constitution. under the
command of Commodore Edward
Preble, hombarded the forts at Tripoli
and forced peace. without further
tribute. on four CorSair States and

sailed out of port without the loss of

In 1872 the constitution ltefally
saved the Union in series of sweep
ing victories over the British fleet.
Between the years 1S12-1S15 it cap
tured the Guerrero. Java. PiCtou,

These victories so aroused American
pride that threatened secession was
averted.

British Guerrero, n battle in which
she practically sailed rings around
the foreign frigate and smashed her

struck the side of the Constitution
but the plank was so hard it fell out
and sank in the waters.
This was noticed by the men, and a
cry went up

From that moment the name of the
Constitution was garnished with color

PROVISIONS MINING LAWS COVERING LOCATION
 LODES UNCHANGED

Considerable misapprehension appears to exist locally re- garding a statement made re- gently by delegate Sutherland in an address before the Se- attle Mining Club.
 As reported by the Alas ka Weekly the delegate said in effect that the federal mining laws respecting location of mineral properties would here after prevail in Alaska and al- so indicated that said laws would curtail the number of mining claims which could be located by one individual to two per month.
 The statement, however, re- fers only to placer locations and has no application what ever to lode claims, the To- cation of which is at present governed in all the main es- sentials by the federal law. As Congress has not amended the law with respect to such To- cations, the regulations here tofore existing are still effect i've.
 Neither the Federal nor the Territorial law limits the num- Der of lode claims that may be located by any one person at any time. Consequently one may locate as many lode properties as he desires.
 Lode claims may also be lo- cated by one person for an- other in any number desired and no power of attorney is required to validate such To- cations; although a power of attorney may be used for such purpose if desired.

DRILL
 FOR TROY GROUP

The Northland Mining Com pany, owner of the Troy group i'll the uper Salmon valley, is making preparations to dia- mond drill their properties.
 The group which includes 9 claims, lies immediately north of the Yellowstone and Forty Nine properties and is in a dis tinctly favorable geological structure. The group contains four known veins of large di- mensions carrying gold, silver, lead, zinc, and copper values, on which considerable open cut work has been done. Sam ples taken from across 5 feet of the No. 3 vein are said to have yielded assay returns of S190.75 per ton, of which $178.75 was silver.
 The company has engaged E. A. Hagen, prominent min ing engineer and publisher of the Mining and Industrial Record, of Vancouver, as con- sulting engineer. MT. Hagen is now on the ground spottin9 holes for the diamond drill work, for which Boyles Bros, hold the contract.

ACTIVITIES ON
 .... THE DUNWELL

Great activity both under ground and on the surface is reported by visitors to the Dunwell last Sunday. The work of clearing the right of way for the aerial tramway was completed last week and the erection of the towers will be under way shortly. The millsite has also been cleared and the Foundations for the concentrating plant are laid. Work on the building proper is scheduled to go forward as rapidly as possible and the structure is expected to be in readiness before the rainy season starts. Construction work is also in progress on the power plant buildings. Lumber for the various structures ar rived recently from the south and is being hauled to the ground by the Crawford Transfer with all possible dis patch.
 Work underground includes a number of stopes and raises and is opening up a huge ore tonnage in the mine, in addit- ion to piling up a large amount of broken ore in readiness for milling. A tunnel is also under way to crosscut the rich body of ore found last year on the Sunbeam Claim north of the present mine workings.

ORE ALL OVER
 BIG MISSOURI GROUP

Reports from the Big Missouri indicate that things are look ing exceedingly promising on that noted property. An inten- sive program of development work is being pushed through under the direction of Harry Townsend, consulting engineer and is said to be yielding highly important results. Ore of commercial grade is said to have been located at several new points within the past few weeks and discoveries of new ore bodies have become commonplace events lately. In fact it. is said that with one exception ore has been locat- ed on every claim in the group.
 The recent strike on the Uni on Fraction is said to have re- vealed four feet of ore av- eraging close to $250 a ton in gold. A good grade of ore has also been tapred in the Groundhog tunnel at what is sad to be clos4 tc 300 feet depth.
 Recent development work on the Terminus claim, scene of the latest ore discovery of importance, is said to have dis closed a lead of ore of good grade on the surface and ranging from 25 to 40 feet in width.
