throughout the night. It will be easily recognized because of it's steady, twinkleless. light and be-
 cause of its brillinancy in a field
 devoid of other bright luminaries. At the present, its stellar magnitude
 is about +"plus'' o.3; 1t is nearly as
 bright as the fixed star Vega, in
 Lyra, lying eastward of the zenith.
 Because of its far southern position,

 rings are we'll open and make a
 wonderful sight in small telescope.
 Many observers maintain that Saturn
 is the very finest celestial object for
 small instruments.
 The ring system is, of course, the
 outstanding feature of this planet.
 At first glance through the telescope
 it appears as singlie fiat ring but
 more careful observation brings out
 dark line on the face of the ring which is really a dividing line be- tween the two outer rings. The in- ner of these two bright rings is somewhat the more brilliant. Furth- CT observation with a powerful telescope brings out the existence of q third ring lying still closer to the planet, frequently called the "crepe" ring. The rings are very thin ana
 life in the plane of Saturn's equator. O n account of the angle which this plane makes with the plane of the earth's orbit about the sun (the edgewise every fifteen years and are then almost invisible. The most favorable angle is only a matter of
 about twenty-eight degrees. so that the rings are never seen in their true, approximately circular. shape. The rings are by no means the solid looking masses which they ap- pear to be as we observe them from this great distance away; both La place and Clerk Maxwell fortold the physical necessity of the rings be- ing made up of a great multitude
 of discrete particles. At this dis tance we cannot make out. even
 with the largest telescopes. that this condition obtains, but the spectros- cope. in the hands of Keeler. show
 ed that this was the case. He prov. ed that the inner edge of the rings moved faster than the outer edge: this would not be possible with a
 solid ring for the outer edge must
 move faster. It is, however. true in celestial mechanics that of two bodies moving around a gravi-
 tationaily controlling center, the in- ner one moves faster. This is true
 of all the planets moving about the sun and of satellites moving about
 their planet. It Is also true for any
 one body that t moves faster in It's
 orbit when near its gravitationally
 controlling body; thus the earth
 moves faster in tis orbit at
 periheiion than at aphelion. The rings, therefore, must be made up
 of separate particles or satellites.
 These are undoubtedly very small.
 and, possibly. . good deal of tho
 material is actually dustlike. The
 division between the rings is due to
 physical conditions being unfavor-

CONGRESS FACED WITH
 PECULIAR SITUATION

When Congress convenes in regular session next week it will be faced with one of the most extraordinary parliament tary sessions in it's history, &C., cording to political writers quoted in press reports.
 Not only will control of both houses be in question as be- tween the Democrats and the Republicans, but a legislative program containing such con- troversial subjects as unem- ployment insurance, foreign debts, increased taxation, tar if revision, payment of sol- diers insurance bonuses, Phil lipine Independence, and the hardy perennial-prohibition, will confront the legislators.
 It appears likely that the Democrats will elect John N. Gardner of Texas to the speak ership and will organize the committees of the House.
 The Republicans will rule the upper chamber.
 President Hoover's admin istration should have no more difficulty in dealing with the House with a Democratic maj ority than it will in the Senate, where, in view of the division between the two parties, the block of Progressive Republi- cans headed by Senator Geo. w. Norris, of Nebraska, Will liam E. Borah of Idaho and Robert M. Lafollette of Wis consin, occupy a position of strategic importance. It is from this group that pressure may be expected for social legis- lation of an advanced type.
 A major problem confront ing the administration is the treasury deficit, which, at late reports runs upward at a rate indicating a year-end debit of 2,00O,000,0O0. It is consider ed certain that new taxation will be levied.
 At its opening Congress will be faced with the necessity of approving MT. Hoover's mor- atorium on intergovernmental debts.

UNICORN RESULTS
 VERY ENCOURAGING

DeVeIOpment acIlVltleS OH the Unicorn property during the past summer have been very encouraging, according to John Hovland, president and general manager of Unicorn Mines, Ltd, Operations were suspended for the winter last week an d will be renewed again in the spring when con- ditions are favorable, MT. Hovland said.
 Describing the progress achieved, MT. Hovland said the main tunnel was extended 80 feet and is now in dist ance of APO feet from the port al. The objective of the tunnel is a strongly mineralized vein, known as the "A" vein, which should be cut by the tunnel at about 620 feet from the port al.
 The face of the tunnel is now in quartz mineralized with pyrite and carrying low values in gold. Free gold was found in small quartz veinlets in the porphyry over the entire 80 feet of distance driven this year, but the average was low, MT. Hovland said.
 A cross cut 38 feet long was also driven from the main tunnel during the season. This extends westerly from a point 370 feet from the portal, or 50 feet back from the present face, and was driven for the purpose of exploring a large gold-bearing zone about 600 feet wide striking north and south that has been traced on the surface for 2000 feet. There is known to exist in this formation small, high-grade gold quartz veins with north south strike, MT. Hovland said. So far we have cut two of this type of vein. Both carry free gold but values are not suf- ficient to constitute shipping grade ore. The entire cross cut is in gold bearing DOT phyry cut at all angles with small veinlets of quartz ill which free gold may be seen occasionally. Iron pyrite, zinc and lead are the chief miner als associated with the gold bearing porphyry.
 
 MT. Hovland said both min- eraliZation and values are inn proving in the crosscut to the west and the face is heavily mineralized with iron pyrite; also some zinc and lead. On the surface some distance west of the cross cut there is a ser ies of cross fractures in which some very good grade of gold ore has been exposed in open cuts and the crosscut will ex- plore this vein area at a depth of 300 feet.

A. P Highway

October 24, in its editorial section, has the following to say relative to the Pacific -Yu- kon-Alaska Highway, Hyder and the recent Special High way edition of the Hyder Weekly Herald. The editorial is reprinted through the kind ness of Mrs. E. l.. Dale.
 Although, for the time being, the movement toward building the Alaska Yukon Pacific Highway has temporarily sub- sided, the cities and settle ments which would be benefit ed by that magnificent project have not ceased to advocate it. It is everywhere agreed that the proposed highway ex- tension, which would connect the cities of Puget Sound with Fairbanks, Alaska, would op- en a vast territory of enormous natural wealth to development and settlement. The problem to be solved is one of finances; and since Canada must con- struct the major part of the highway, it is chiefly a prob lem of Canadian finances.
 An example of the deep in- terest in the projected high way is the enthusiasm display ed by Hyder, Alaska and by Stewart, B. C., located at the head of Portland Canal. The Hyder Weekly Herald recent iy devoted an entire issue to the furtherance of a plan to build a highway from Hazel ton, B. C., to these thriving mining towns, a distance of approximately 110 miles. While the route to the head of the Portland Canal would De only branch of the main highway, motorists could act ually reach Alaska at a point 500 miles nearer the United States proper than at any other point in the Northland.
 British Columbia now has a highway to Hazelton, known as the Cariboo Road. It reach es a point little beyond the 55th parallel. By extending the highway a comparatively short distance, an area rich in scenic wonders and natural re- sources would be opened for inspection, development and settlement. In this highly in- teresting section, the road would connect with an exist ing highway which serves the Portland Canal mining district. Except for a stretch of ten miles, the route would lie thru level valleys and alluvial slopes.
 The announcement of the Hyder Chamber of Commerce is not without interest to othe> American cities and towns. Fly der has a permanent popula- ton of 357, which is increased to 500 in busy seasons. Altho 1t is equipped with fine schools a public library, courthouse and other structures incident to government, it pays no tax es. It would be we'll worth a trip northward to see such a community. One hopes that Canada will hurry up the con- struction of the road.

Atty. Blue Delivers
 Splendid Address

Ol IHe WoTlu 5 monetary SyS- tenn was the theme of a splen- did address given by MT. Er- nest Blue, Hyder attorney, at the dinner meeting of the Stewart Board. of Trade Mon- day evening.
 MT. Blue treated the sub ject from a historical stand point, following the develop ment of the monetary system through it's various main branches from the earliest re- corded discovery of monetary metals down to the present time. The speaker pointed out that the history of the system divided itself naturally into epochs; the genesis period of which extended from the dawn of civilization to about $500 B. c. This was followed by a period of barter and trade, embracing the period from $500 to 205O, B. c. The succeeding epoch, historically known as the Babylonian peri od, extended from 2050,B.C. to 500, B. c. and witnessed the birth of the silver standard, during which the value of all commodities was reckened in shekels and minas of silver under monetary system de- veloped and established by the great Babylonian lawgiv- CT Hammurapi.
 The silver shekel the speaker said, was. an ounce of silver, while the silver nina was a pound of the white met al. The development of this silver standard was the result of the growth and expansion of trade and the need of a medium of universal exchange and its inception definitely ended the epoch of barter and trade, the speaker said.
 Following the latter epoch came the fourth epoch $500 B. c. to A. D. 1873), which witnessed the reign of King Darius and the birth of the bi-metallic standard, in which gold and silver were first used in coinage at the ratio of 13 to l. This epoch was in turn followed by the 5th ep- och, from 1873 to the present, in which the gold standard be- came the dominant factor in the worlds monetary system.
 In addition to pointing out the direct development of the use of metallic coinage during the several periods MT. Blue also discussed the develop ment of exchange, the second great branch of the monetary system, credit, and the de- velopment of the banking sys- tenn.
 In addition to presenting a remarkable wealth of histor- ical references relating to the subject, MT. Blue also illus trated his discourse with nu- merous descriptive passages taken from ancient records showing the operations of the various exchange systems dur ing the different epochs.
 From both the historical and forensic standpoints, the ad- dress was easily the most eru- dite and informative ever heard in the district and evok- ed the highest commendation of all who were fortunate enough to hear it.
 MT. Blue. in response to urgent solicitation, has agreed to repeat the address at the roov% v,,ao aofsy,r nf fho uxrry o.,
