THE RIM OF MYSTERY"

The facts and nothing but the facts, are contained in this re- markable diary of a hunting trip through Northern Siberia, with Nome as the outfitting and real starting point. This diary, com piled into book form, makes as interesting account of this strang- est of countries that any person could desire. Its nature is of course about the hunting of d species of mountain sheep found only in the mountain ranges of T e' Chuckoks Peninsula; speci- men of which no museum in the world possessed. No fiction is contained in it and despite the supposition that the book would probably be written in a dry and strict manner. ii abounds in inter esting and breath taking climaxes. The author, J. B. Burnum. is well known here in Nome, especially to the writer, having spent quite a few months with the people of Nome and also practically com piled his notes and wrote the book here.
 Another very interesting feature of the book is that it is written about this silent and mysterious country almost at cur door, of which very little is known. As a story teller, MT. Burnum ranks with the best, being able to write non-fiction in an as glowing and extremely interesting manner as fiction writers.
 Eskimos, Chuckoks, Russians, traders, and all of the unknown peoples of a strange country are discussed in the account. as are also the minute characteristics of the land itself Many local char acters around Nome are likewise referred to and how they received strangers with true Nome Hos pitality.
 "The Rim of Mystery, as MT. Burnum has listed his book. is /, truly descriptive title, Siberia. and what it stands for is almost un- known to everyone. II is not fic- tion. and as many may believe it so, it devolves upon us to give fair and straightforward explan- ation of what the book actually contains-facts, descriptions, con ditions, (political. moral and in dustriaD, and datarr affecting the. world of science; Sthese are the subjects of MT. Burnum's story and diary.
 As an interesting and valuable piece of record for hunters, "The Rim of Mystery" is unequalled. We who are close to Siberia and know intimately the characters. condi- tions and perhaps hindrances and hardships to be encountered. re-

alize what valuable and worth while book this is. Besides being of especial interest to hunters and sportsmen, it is of intellectual val ue and as interesting narrative for the every day person that can be found anywhere.
 Mir. Burnum's associations and dealings with the Soviets and their representatives are dealt with very completely in the hope of spread ing the belief to the rest of the world, that Russia and Siberia are not the spreading places of an- archism but are now serving as the birthplaces of much loftier and finer ideal of civilization and political integrity.
 For those who want facts alone. and for those who want an i'm teresting account of the strange country known as Sber:a, it is recommended. that they get hold of MT Burnum's "The Rim of Mvs- tery."
 The Rim of Mystery, a hun ter's wanderings in unknown Asia. by John B. Burnum, is just off the presses of G. P. Putnam's Sons and is approved by the Boone and Crockett Club.
