UPPER YUKON
 ENJOYS REVIVAL OF GOLD MINING
Whitehorse Better Than in Years and Prospectors
 Are Numerous

There is a gratifying revival in mining in.the Upper Yukon" today declared John o. Stenbraten, vet eran prospector and mining opera tor, who is in Juneau for a few days on business. Conditions at Whitehorsa are better now than they have been in years. Many of the old-time prospectors have come back to the country, and they are reinforced by many new arrivals. None is seeking wage employment; all are intent on discovering min ral deposits.
 Boat Builders Busy
 Except for the few hours dark ness around midnight, one can hear the pounding of hammers and the ringing of saws, as builders of small boats hasten to complete their craft, destined for trips up likely streams.
 All developed gold properties in the Whitehorse area are doing well this season. There is plenty of water for mining activities The Yukon is higher at present than she has been in Is years. She is still rising.
 ! On Livingston, Lake and Sum- init Creeks, tributaries of the Big Salmon, placer gold claims are yielding rich returns.
 Big Nugget Found
 "An impetus has been given te the working of old ground in the Atlin district by the finding of z 47-ounce nugget in tailings on Ruby Creek. This, of course, was not the only pay taken from the Ruby Creek tailings.
 "In the Wheaton district, searcf is being vigorously prosecuted fol gold quartz lodges. In that area Brooks and Mcconnell are doing considerable work.
 "A factor of great help in min ing and to the revived properity O Whitehorse is the airplane, Airship' are used quite frequently in minint quests and they are constant. coming to and going from White horse. Whitehorse is an airpor of consequence now"
 MT. Stenbraten will return t Whitehorse this week.

How 1t Started
By JEAN NEWTON
"To Beat Hollow"

ONE of the most peculiar things
~ about language is its quirks and
twists-the unpredictable turns 1t
takes.
Consider, for instance, the express
sion. ITO Beat Hollow" which we un-
derstand to beat thoroughly or wholly.
Perhaps by this time some of our
keen readers have already sensed what
we are driving at. We hasten to point
out the interesting fact that ITO beat
hollow'-which, taken literally, would
be more or less impossible feat-is
simply corruption of ito beat who'll
ly"-and having exactly the same
sense.
Just how it came to be so corrupted
nobody can say. 1t was probably u
chance development due to a mispro-
nunciation of the original word.
At any rate, by 1859, the present
phrase had received literary sanction
through it's use by James Townley, in
his play High Life Below Stairs"
