Good Advice.

The man who doesn't worry when
he ought to is as bad as the one who
worries when he shouldn't Worrying
is bad for the health, but probably not
as bad as letting things drift. In case
of rain, run for an umbrella. Instead
of SAYING 'Don't Worry" the best adj
vice to give a man in trouble Is Get
Busy."-Thrift Magazine.

MAYO ORE OUTPUT
 BREAKING RECORD.


 The production of silver ore in the Mayo district will break all records this winter, accord ing to advices received at Daw- ion. Quite number of the in- lependent miners are now on he paystreak and they are en- gagged this winter in sacking their high grade ore, some of which goes 5000 or more to the ton, says the Dawson News.
 Every obtainable vehicle is in commission hauling the ore from the mines to the landing on the Stewart river, and nov 'ng concentrates and supplies, and there is the promise that they will be kept busy during the greater part of the winter. There is strong agitation now at Mayo for the installation of a customs mill for the treat ment of ore from the independ- ent mines, it being claimed that such a mill would result in a greatly increased product ion.
 Patrick Gidea has been ap- pointed by Judge T. M. Reed, as referee in bankruptcy for the southern district of the First Division of Alaska. He will handle such cases as arise in the Ketchikan district.
 The appointment creates a second office of it's kind in the First Division, heretofore there having been only one referee for the entire district, held by Grover c. Vim.

J. t. Robinson. Thiesen and
the Frank interests claim the right
70 prospect under q 1917 act pro-
for the lease Of Texas Uni
versity lands on a flat rate Of 10
cents al acre. They question the
constitutionality Of the operating act
Of 1925. authorizing outright sale to

ests in university lands with one
royalty reserved to the in
stitution.
