DENVER QUARTZ MILL ORDER ED FOR BABCOCK x DOW
 NEY, NUkA BAY

With a total assay value of S8800 computed by the Alaska Col lege mining department and hit ting this enormously rich lead 60 feet sooner than had been expect ed and tive feet exposed on one wall only, it IS no wonder there IS much rejoicing at the Babcock SS DoWney quartz mine down at Nuka Bay as well as among the nunlng fraternity in Seward.
 The owners have ordered a 25- ton Denver quartz mill which will arrive and be sent down to Sur prlse Bay in the spring. A concen- tratlng table is expected to arrive Saturday on the $. s. Northwest ern. Besides the Denver mill a large quantity of additional mach inery and accessories has been or dered and upon receiving the new equipment at least a half-dozen miners will be employed to assist in the erection and carrying on of development work and actual op-- ertions next summer.
 The Gateway is informed that MT. Babcock, whose ability as a practical mining man is inquest l04A>~o4y o--- -.-. 44 vS known, states the shoWingS eX- ceeds by far his highest expecta- , tions. This statement, emanating |. from such a reliable source, can be accepted as from a real author ity. local mining men say, and means interest in activities in the Nuka Bay region will be revived greater than ever.
 Babcock & DoWney have enlarg- ed the ore bin capacity for storage and making other improvements in preparation for the installa ton or lilU -4.w Ill., -. u -.---v -~- ting table Development work has uncovered hundreds of feet of ore running SIS but the latest big rich exposure, assaying $880O, has all the appearance of being tre- mendous body. The hanging wall stands straight up.
 Other mining men of the dis trict, prior to reception of this news, had already planned to car ry on development work next sea- son but this announcement, which reacheG seWal0 4,.ao uook, llas served to accelerate their actions and, in some instances, to enlarge the scope of operations.
 It has been known for months that Spokane, Wash, group, who are, to a large extent, shareholders in the Alaska Hills Mine, are pre- pared to step in with at least $35, 900, providing their group can ob- tain a five-year lease on the Alas ka Hills property. Their idea is, it is stated, is to put in their own manager and engineer.

This browning honor of brief movie
career comes to a man whose story is
one of the Arabian nights legends of
the colony. A few years ago Joe Won
Sternberg was literally without soles to
his shoes He would be the first to tell
you. for he is proud Of the struggle by
which he won success.
He was one of little band which
included Georgia Hale, George Arthur
and Otto Mstiessen. Without money,
often without food, and for thebe rea-
sons frequently on very short sleep
rations, they produced picture. They
had made it out OF courage, generosity
and ambition. 1t was a good picture.
But the trouble was that there was no
way Of. selling it.
Some one told Charlie. Chaplin about
the ambitious Won Sternberg and the
group of unsuccessful actors who had
helped him out. Chaplin, always kind
to ambitious and less fortunate brethren
in art. evinced an interest. A meeting
was arranged to show him the picture.
Won Sternberg went to the Chaplin
house the evening in question. He was
shown into the library. Chaplin was a
bit late in coming. When the great
comedian arrived the. director was sound
asleep. 1t was his first taste in many
months of a comfortable chair, an. open
fire and moment of repose.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPROwLs.
What Is Mind?

What is mind? No one knows. Here
are the views of few of the wise men
associated with the science of psychol-
ogy.
Some who are devoted to a mechanis-
tic philosophy of life say there is no
such thing as mind. According to that
philosophy, any one who says he has
a mind, or that any one else has mind,
Is simply talking in terms of SUPER
stition. These mechanists claim that
what we call mind will one day be
known in terms of chemistry and
physics. Mind for them is a physio-
chemical reaction. We might. accord
ing to this mechanical theory, simply
that every emotion is huge bodily re-
action, and that every thought, idea or
flight of the imagination Is complex
confguration of matter and energy.
Nothing more.
Other psychological sava.lta tass a
somewhat more human view ~ A..
question. For instance, sSsunzznzua7
mind is specific sort OF
organ which serves the uSN
of helping us make profitable adapta-
tons to our environment. In general
sense mind Is a guarantor of existence
that which makes survival possible.
Then others say, not in so many
words, but rather in so many volumes,
that mind Is the instrument of crea-
tion-the agent responsible for con-
tinuation of the race
Still others say that mind is simply
an adjunct to the world of food, a kind
of food gatherer and tester. They go
on at great length to show that nothing
lies SO near the hearts and brains OF
men as something good to eat and
plenty of 1t. The other word for mind,
according to that view, is appetite. The
other name for the science of psychol-
ogy is gastronomy.
Now look these PHILOSOPHERS over.
They all seem to say that mind Is a
description of behavior. Why not dis
miss The whole debate by unanimously
agreeing that we know nothing about
mind, except as we see its manifesto
tons in behavior.

August 3, 1S61.-While recent
speeches in Congress and agitation in
some newspapers in favor of removing
the National Capital to the geographic
cal center of the United States are
likely to have no result, so far as re-
moval is concerned, local interests here
are becoming aroused because of the
depressing influence such talk is hav-
ing upon Washington city ana the Dis
trict OF Columbia generally. 1t has be-
come customary lately for some persons
to diSparage this city, when in reality
1t is an exceedingly healthy place in
which to live, and is fast becoming one
OF the most attractive cities in the
country
The heat here in Summer is less OPP
pressive than in many of the cities with
which 1T has been compared, and the
Winters are much milder. With its
wide streets and the prospect OF an in
creasing number of parks, Washington
seems destined to become one of the
most beautiful Of the worlds capital

When Congress shall second the ef-
forts OF the more enterprising local
citizens to increase the city's railroad
facilities, Washington will doubtless
have as cheap markets as any city in

year nearer unto death: for I did not
fail to see that as she came into the shade
her shadow fell from her, and was Swal-

And again the boat appeared and the
fay, but about the attitude OF the latter
there was more of care and uncertainty
and less of elastic joy. She fioated
again from out the light and into the
gloom (which deepened momently) and
again her shadow fell from her into
the ebony water and became absorbed
into its blackness.
And again and again she made the
circuit of the island while the sun
rushed down to his slumberS). and at
each issuing into the light there was
more sorrow about her person, while it
grew feebler and far fainter and more
indistinct, and at each passage into the
gloom there fell from her a darker
shade. which became whelmed in a
shadow more black.
But at length when the sun had ut
terly departed. the fay. now the mere
ghost of her former self, went discon-
solately with her boat into the region
of the ebony food. and that she issued
thence at all / cannot say, for darkness
fell over all things and beheld her
magical figure no more.

Falling Hair.

Dear Miss Leeds-I am 30 years old
and my hair is very thin and falls out.
l do not seem to have any dandruf
and my hair is oily. 1 massage my
scalp daily and use a hair tonic. My
baby is months old and l am very
nervous. My hair IS bobbed: do you
think l should have it clipped short?
MRS. M. G. Nc.
Answer-If you are underweight. as
I suspect. that combined with your
nervousness would be enough to ac-
count for the poor condition of your
hair. 1t is not unusual for a mothers
hair to become scanty. but as she
regains her normal health and strength
her hair should grow in again. AL
though some thin, frail women have
abundant hair. in most cases the health
of the hair reflects the general health
of the body. If you were in f1rSt-claSS
physical condition you would not be
nervous: have your doctor give you a
thorough physical examination and ask
his advice on diet and general hygiene.
I do not think that cutting your hair
shorter would help. Continue with the
tonic three times a week If the oilineSS
Il excessive, omit the massage. Once a
week give your scalp a warm oil treat
ment with olive oil and shampoo with
tincture Of green soap.

Itching Skin.
Dear Miss Leeds-My skin itches and
there is a continual breaking out of
small white things on my face that
gives my skin a rough look. 1 have
several small red scars on my forehead
that also itch. I am on a fruit and
vegetable diet, but 1 seem to need
something else E. M. K.
Answer-Skin irritations such as you
seem to have are sometimes caused by
certain items of diet or by contact with
substances that do not harm most peo-
pie. For instance. some stenographers
develop skin irritations from constant
handling of carbon paper. The use of
certain soaps may be a cause. Eating
Strawberries or shell fish makes some
people break out. Such cases are due
to individual idiosyncrasies. The itch
ing may be due to dryness of your skin.
