thermore, the usually impeecahle MT. A. was badly in need of a shave That he had slept in his shorts was obvious, there being no paiamas in sight.
 What in the world has hap pened to you?" I cried.
 He sighed, shrugged and an- nounced solemnly. The detectives will be here any minute now
 Noting my stupefaction, he ex- plained. He told how the taxi man had gone off with his bag. In that bag was his razor, his change of linen, everything he needed. Only, there was no bag. There was no trace of a bag.
 Of course, in this extremity, he had telephoned the police. And now they were coming up.
 It was at this juncture that De- tectives Frank Raihl and Hugh Fox of the 51st police station walked into the room. They came jauntily in with huge smiles on their faces. And the bag. They had the bag, all right. With the taxi license number as guide, they had hauled the frightened driver before the bar at o'clock that morning.
 But this cabby He told a very oood story and rnovrd it. lie w French, and spoke English on4s brokenly. He had misunderstood MT. A and had checAed yle bag into an other hotel He had even left note for Mir A with the bag And so the poor caoby wasn't t anne at all.

Nagert heless, it is good thing that MT. A had potted down the cahby's number. There are 31 1,000 taxicabs in New York. Without that number thc hunt might have been difficult one. Detectives Raihl and Fox believe they could have located the bag anyway. They prob ably could have.
 Moral: Never ask taxi driver to check your bag unless you check his number, even if Ernest is going to trim your hair. If you do you may wake up to find that you've been trimmed in more ways than one. At all events, keep your chin up and put in @ hurry call for the police preferably Detectives Raihl and Fox. If results are possible, they'll get them for you.

NEW YORK, Sept 23.-Here is an amusing though, at the time, annoying little contretemps that happened the other day, and as is something that might very well happen to you at one time or other I think you ought to kno, about it. It may save you some grief, especially if you ride taxicabs in New York.
 This friend of mine, this MT. A., got into a cab, with his valise, and instructed the driver to take him to the Shelton Hotel. A few min utes later he changed his mind. He yelled, Hey, driver, let me off at the McAlpin. I have to see Ernest. Ernest is my favorite barber, and I need a hair trim. I'll tell you what You let me off at the Me- Alpin and then you take my bag on for me. Leave the check ill my name at the desk"

 ON TERRI. GOLD MINING

Approval of the principle un- derlying the Territorial three per cent gross tax on gold mining was voiced in Juneau by A. A. Shonbeck, prominent business man and mining operator, presi- dent of the Holky Mining Com pany which operates dredge in the Innoko district, says the Jun eau Empire.
 "It gives me pleasure to pay this tax" he said, as he smiled and handed Treasurer Oscar c Olson a check for his firms 1887 tax.
 T consider the tax on gross production proper in every re- spect," Shonbeck said. "There are one or two changes that might well be made to take care of cer- tain phases of the gold mining industry. The principle of tax ing the gross production, how ever ought not to be abandoned
 MT. Shonbeck advocated rais- ing the pres mt S10,000 exemption which was put on by the legis- lature in 1887. He also said that some consideration should be glV en to certain kinds of lode min- ing, whose problems of produc-

 If he has paid close attention to making a clear sketch of his work, action on the application will be expedited. The engineers of the REC will study the appli- cation and, if the property seems to have merit, will authorize the Supervising Engineer to examine the property. After his examin- ation the Supervising Engineer sends information on the geology, assay value, mining possibilities, transportation, etc, to Washing ton. If from these data it would sesm that the prospect may have good chance of becoming a pro- ducing mine and there are no legal difficulties, the loan may be granted.
 Pledges Property
 Before receiving the loan the prospector pledges his mining claim Cor clains) to the REC as security. If he has only a lease on the ground he must get his lease-holder to join in the mort gage or agree to waive his royal ty until the REC loan is repaid out of production. No other se- curity than the prospect itself is required.
 The money can be used only for development work. That is, the prospector may purchase small compressor and air tools but he may not use this loan to buy milling machinery. If the development proves the eistence of a good ore-body he may then apply for a General Loan to build a mil.
 Many small placers have been readily financed with local capi- tai, so the advantages of the REC loans for these mines are not quite as marked as for quartz. However, the owner of a shallow placer may do we'll to investigate their possibilities, MT. Herbert added.
 Where the ground is such that expensive mining machinery such as a large draglin,e plant or dred- ge might be required the Devel- opment Loan may be a great help to the prospector or small miner. He may be able to show by eight or 10 holes that he has a promis- ing paystreak. If these holes can be check sampled by the Super viSing Engineer he may get Development Loan which will pay for large scale drilling pro- gram. If this development is successful he may be able to buy a dredge or dragline plant with the proceeds of a General Loan.
 Application blanks may be se- cured from MT. Herbert. He will aid prospectors by giving them more detailed information on the loans and by suggesting sampl- ing methods, but he cannot ex- anime any property unless author ized to do so by the Washington headquarters of the REC. MT. Herbert may be reached by let ter at Fairbanks.
