CAPT. SID HARRINGTON
 TELLS 0F PAST SEASONS
 DEVELOPMENTS IN CAssIAR
Outstanding Feature of Seasons Work Was Uncovering of Old Channel On
 McDames Greek


 Capt. Sid Burlington gave out the following interview to the Alaska Weekly regarding developments in the Cassiar the past season:
 It has been a more or less busy season on the Upper stikine River and probably the outstanding fea- ture of the seasons work is the rich find made by A. Godfrey on Mo Danes Creek. They have been drifting to pick up the old channel. known to be rich, and struck it this Fall. They were in 160 feet and drove right into it, getting dirt that ran forty cents to the pan. Of course this is bonanza placer. but 1t is just what well informed mining men had predicted they would find when they hit the Channel. They were most enthusiastic over their discovery and the locating of the old channel on MeDames means that as a gold producer, the Cassiar will again become a big factor in placer mining in the North. There is seventeen miles of this sold channel that is now located and if it runs any considerable part of what God frey has found. it's plenty to make a camp.
 The Joy Mines Limited, under the able management of A. H. Bryant, superintendent in charge has made very satisfactory progress this year. They have the install lation of their plant well under way and will be ready to begin sluicing next year. believe that they have good ground and when they start to sluice will take out some big money. Jack Bliek has been having some bad luck this past season with losing a portion of his ditch. but believe he has solved the problem and next year should take out a mighty nice lot of dust.
 "On Gold Pan Hugh Ford has sold out to Cameron and the latter to- gether with William Grady have had very fair season. The sensation of Gold Pan this year was the Wick cry ground on the upper end of the creek. Viekery working by him self took out about seventy ounces in a short time and as soon as he could get men put them to work and I heard that he took out several hun dred ounces late in the season.
 There has been considerable prospecting done in the country and a number of the men are staying in this winter to continue their work. On the Clearwater there has been a great deal of activity. No new finds have been made in this locality, but considerable prospect ing has been carried on by numerous parties.
 Take it all in all, the Stikine has had a pretty good year. There have been a greatly increased num- Der of tourists, and while there was not a big list of hunters in there this year. the ones who made the trip all killed limit bags and as usual went outside satisfied"

ALASKA GAME MERITS
ATTENTION

Interest Of Federal officials in the new warfare against predatory animals in Alaska ought to be fol= lowed by consideration of some of the other wild game problems Of the Northlaud.
 Decision of the United States Geological Survey to cooperate with the Territorial Government in efforts to eliminate wolves and coyotes is commendable. but action should be taken toward reforming virtually the entire control system now in operation.
 At present there are destructive animals guarded by Federal law, while some harmless creatures are left without the pale of Congress sional protection. Meanwhile the greatest annoyance results from conflicting claims of jurisdiction by various bureaus and departments.
 Alaska abounds with rare and desirable species of animals. and there is no reason why their con serYation should not be either en- trusted to a single Federal depart ment or eonfided exclusively in the Territory. The campaign against coyotes and wolves should lead to other worthy and better organized activities. Seattle Times.

SAN FRANCISCO The lumber schooner. Coos Bay" is believed to be total wreck on the jagged rocks near Lands End, just outside the Golden Gate here. The Captain and Mate were brought safely ashore late Sunday afternoon, completing the transfer to shore of the crew of 35.

every single cell Of the body
that is alive has to be con-
nected with nerve, so really we all
are that. OF all the wonders of the
body perhaps the nerve-cells are the
most marvellous. And yet they are
very simple. Some think that nerve
cells are nothing but a lot of electric
batteries, though their current travels
only about hundred yards second,
while ordinary electricity travels a
hundred and eighty-six thousand
miles. Some of these batteries are
connected by long wire cells to the
substations in various parts Of the
body, especially to small ones in the
chest and belly. These are very SEN
sitive and automatic, and are called
sympathetic ganglia, which only
means nests Of cells forming centers.
"Other masses Of cells in the brain
are called special centers,' because
they are all for one job-like the
breathing center, or the center for
looking after the pump and pipes,
called the vasomotor center.
1.-THE wires, of course, conduct the
currents; the central part of the nerve
wire is called the axis cylinder. 1t is
made Of the best conductor of cur
rents known to man.
1.-THE nerve currents, of course, go
both ways--first to the brain. These
are called centripetal, that is, seeking
the center. Secondly, they go away
from the brain. These are called cen
trifugal, flying from the center. The

How often you hear dad, or some
other grownup speak, with a sort OF
half-slgh In his voice, of what he
would do If he were young again.
Time goes quickly when you are
young, and you are only too likely to
put off things you really should do.
Grownups look back to the golden
days of their youth as the happiest
time of their lives, but there is also
something of regret In their backward
glance. There are so many things
they would like to have done, but
didn't.
Unfortunately, time gives us just
one chance.
Let's plan things now, then, so as
to have as few regrets as possible
when we look back from a grownup
viewpoint. Let's get lots of exercise,
so that the grownup person we're go
ing to be not SO many years from now
may be fit and strong. Let's not get
into little habits of shiftlessness that
will handicap the future. Instead, let

Milman cut in, "that Paul Raxon is

Undoubtedly" said Peter Milman.
IF someone socially prominent took

There was one curiously disquieting
thing Loddon told me about Raxon.
