IS RICH
Whitehorse Copper Mines
Show Up Well
The last shipment of Gusuve Gervals'
Valerie cupper mine, Ifrhich is near
Whitehorse, yielded l?J5 net profit on
nine toot. This was in addition to
cartage, freight and smelting charges.
Experts regard <25 per ton profit
under the circumstances of the Valerie
shipment as not bad.
Gold nuggets in the bornite copper
ore at Whitehorse have been found on
the Corvette, the Arotic Chief, the
Grafter, the Copper King and other
groups. This is a rare occuraace in
nature Samples of this ore will be.
exhibited at the World's Fair by Wil

much attention from practical miners
and scientists.

The dinner ended shortly after 11
O'clock and cigars were passed. One
of -the guests held his cigar between
LU Angers without lighting it.
"Why don't you imoke, Joslln?" ask
ad the host.
"1 will when the clock strikes 12."
"Why at lir
"1 will explain. If you will permit
me, by telling a story: Several years
ago 1 fell lu love with and wooed a
young lady whose father was a crank.
He had a number of fads which he
lutlictcd mercilessly on others and a
number of antipathies which he would
Dot permit others to inflict upon him.
Ills chief dislike was tobacco in any
form. , .
"Now, from my you#) up I have
been a great smoker. At ten years of
age I bought miniature cigars or clga
ritos and smoked them, not because I
thought it a tine thing to do, but be
cause 1 enjoyed them.
"Well, my devotion to the young lady
I have referred to met with a favor
able response, ami I was accepted. She
gave me to understand, however, that
she had no fortime except what her
father might give her or leave her in
his will, and It would be Impossible for
her to marry me without his consent.
There would be no difficulty In ob
taining It, and be had praised when
she married to settle a third of his
property upon her. All we had to do
was to burner him until after the settle
ment. which would occur simultaneous
ly with the marriage.
"I passed six months of torture. 1
listened to the old man's stale Jokes,
rode out with liim In summer under
furs and in winter with not even a lap
robe. I enjoyed music which he de
tested, so I heard none. I liked to go
to the theater, but as he condemned
theaters anil actors I did not dare show
my face In a playhouse. Hut the crown
of deprivations was the giving up of
smoking. My tiancee informed me on
the flrst day of our engagement that to
smoke In her father's presence would
lie like shaking a ml rag before a mad
bull. To show her how much I loved
her 1 agreed not to smoke till after the
wedding. This she commended highly,
and I took the tirst opportunity to In
form her father that 1 did not smoke.
"The time spent without my beloved
cigars was maddening. Nevertheless 1
refrained, and when my wedding day
came 1 was as free from nicotine as a
baby. When 1 awoke on that mo
mentous day I admit my chief Joy was
not that I was going to lie married,
though 1 loved uiy flaneee desperately,
but that as soon as the settlements
were made, the marriage ceremony
over and we were driving to the sta
tion I would light a cigar. To this my
bride to be bad assented.
"We were to be married at 12 noon in
presence only of the family. The eccen
tric father had a horror of large wed
dings and would consent only to a pri
vate one. T weut to my room at 10
o'clock to dress. My toilet was com
pleted In half an hour, and I had noth
lug to do till 11:30. I had bought n Ik>x
of the best cigars I could find, and they
were on my inautel. I took out a nuui
ber to put In my satchel and momenta
rily held them under my nose.
"Gentlemen, the fragrajn-e of tbosi
dil.-irs irro<i<f iM" i'<-i?iyitr?.
clous, Intoxicating. "WHy notr i gam.
'I have an hour bore alone. At tbe
end of tbat bour tbe settlements will
be made. What risk la tbere In my
smoking bore alone?' I bit off tbe eu<l
of tbe cigar, scratched a match and
lighted It. Then 1 threw myself lnt>>
the arms of an easy chair and the arms
of delight at tbe same time.
"I finished tbe cigar at 11:20 and hur
ried away, reaching the house In twen
ty minutes. My father-in-law to be
called me into big study to explain
some points to be attended to in the
settlements.
" 'The amount.' bo said, 'that 1 give
my daughter is four hundred thou
sand'? He stopped short and sniffed
tbe air. 'Who's beeu smoking In this
room?'
"I was terror stricken, but, control
ling myself, I looked sympathetic. He
went about poking his nose here and
there till, coming very near me, be
took up my arm aud smelted of my
sleeve.
"'What's this?' he exclaimed. '1
thought you told me you didn't
smoke.'
"I tried to stammer an explanation,
but broke down.
'"Give my daughter to a man who
lias the vilest bablt known to man? uot
good enough for beasts, not one ol'
whom smokes! Not I.'
"I argued that tbe preparations bad
gone too far to retreat
" 'It Is never too late to retreat from
a bad bargain. The marriage shal.
not take place, or. If It does, my daugh
ter shall go to you penniless.'
"As soon at} my fiancee and her moth
er received the startling news they be
gan a des|M>rate effort with the iraie
man to induce him to give way. For
their sakos be finally agreed to do S"
on my promise never again to torn.;
tobacco In any form. This was finally
amended to extend only one year after
his death."
"He died a year ago today?"
"One year ago tomorrow. He was
walking In a new building he wn
erecting and fell through an elevator
shaft."
"Wore you in tbe building at the
time?" asked the host with mock grav
ity.
"Tour question Is not only in very
tad taste, but unkind. However, I air.
happy at being able to allay your sus
picions by assuring you that I wan
miles away.
The clock began to strike 12, and Mr.
Joslla lit his cigar.
