ALASKA COLLEGE MINING
 STUDENTS PLAY NEW GAME

'I.ll play monzonite," says the prospector from the Iditarod as he places a specimen of mon zonite on the table. "I'll trump that with a serpentine" retorts his opponent on the opposite side of the table No, this isn't exactly new game that you are reading about. It is a game developed five or six years ago by Dean Patty to teach the mining short course students the sight determination of the common rocks, It is as ex- citing as a poker game and a good deal more dangerous, for if an irate player ever starts throw ing the cards, it is time to call an ambulance. Numbered rocks are used as playing cards and dur ing a game each prospector plays a "hand" of 25 rocks.
 Excitement runs high in a close ly contested game and several in- stances have occurred where a prospector dug down into his pocket and laid a five dollar bill on the table to back his judgment on rock. It is then that all of the diplomatic skill of the referee Is required to restore tranquility Fairbanks News-Miner.

 Paris, France,
 December 6, 1881 Dear Maggie;
 We got to London after travel ing forty miles up the Thames River. London is the capital of the British Empire. We saw the great prison called the Tower of London. Westminster Abbey is also in Lon don, It is the burial place of many great men. The streets were very crowded and the build ings were large and high.
 From London we went to Birm- ingham to visit the factories where they were manufacturing Armor plates for ships, steel rails, fire arms, cutlery and other things made of steel and iron.
 Edinburgh, Scotland is very beautiful city to visit. It has many different buildings and beautiful parks The Scott Monu- ment is in this city.
 But when we were coming into Paris, we had the most exciting part of the trip. We arrived at night. When we were coming closer we could see many, many lights. We were all very anxious for the boat to land. As soon as the boat landed, we went down town. It wasn't a bit like Wran- gell.. The streets were very busy with cars and people, and they went much faster than in wrangell too.
 The Seine River is very beauti- ful. There are many bridges run ming across the river.
 About two days before we left i Paris we went into the picture galleries and museums, and saw the most beautiful paintings and
