AWHILE
—
He told the shy maid of his love,
The color left her cheeks;
But on the shoulder of his coat
It showed for several weeks.

While the minister was making a
call the little girl of the house W'as
busy with pe«cil and paper.
“What are you doing?” he asked,
w'hen he mother had left the room
for a moment.
“I’m making your picture,” said
the child.
The minister sat very still, and she
wdiked away earnestly. Then she
stopped and compared her work with
the original and shook her head.
"I don’t like it much,” she said
“Tain’t a great deal like you. I
guess I’ll put a tail to it and call
it a dog.”
Mrs. Blank (to laundress): “And
how is your nd^vly married daughter
getting on, Mrs. Brown?”
Mrs. Brown: “Oh, nicely, thank
you, ma’am. She finds her husband
a bit dull; but then, as 1 tell her, the
good ones are dull.”
Parson (wishing to be severe): “Do
you know, Donald, when I see you
in this intoxicated condition, you
remind me of a certain animal.”
The Camaguey Scotsman: “Ah,
know. Dominie. Yer-r-r thinkin'
‘Lucky Dog!’”
Caller: “Is Mrs. Jones at home?”
Cook-General: “She is, but she
ain’t ’ardly in a fit state to see any
body. She's just bin givin’ me no
tice.”
He: “You know I love you; will
you marry me?”
She: “But, my dear boy, I refused
you only a week ago.”
He: “Oh, was that you?"
“There was a doctor by the name of
Peck,
Who fell in the well and broke his
neck.
The folks all said the fault was his
own—
Should have tended to sick and left
the well alone."

ALASKA MINING
NOTES \ !□
“The completion of the new eleven
mile tramway, on which we are just
starting, will mean bigger operations
than ever, and will permit ua to get
out ore all the year around,” said Dale
L. Pitt, general manager of the Pre
mier Gold Mining Company at Ryder,
before leaving Ketchikan alter a sev
eral days visit in that city.
"We already have men clearing the
right of way on the British Columbia
side and have the material on the
ground, and expect to rush the work
to completion inside of six months.
About one hundred men will be put to
wcrk within a month.
“The new tramway will start at the
mine on the British Columbia side;
then will run ten miles in American
territory and run back to the dock on
British Columbia ground. It will be
the largest in Alaska or Canada. The
contract for the materials has been
let to the Itiblet Company of Spokane,
but we are doing the work ourselves.
"We have been shipping 500 tons of
ore on every boat every two weeks,
but have had to let up till the snow is
all off, in order to permit the use of
wagons again.
“The new tain way will mean doing
away with the horses and permit eon
inuous operation at maximum capa
city. It will be used for carrying all
ore and concentrates from the mine
and hauliflg all supplies and materials
up to it. Gravity and electricty will
be the power used."
Mr. Pitt said the ore continued to
be high grade. Asked as to the recent
ly circulated report that a specially
rich vein had been struck, Mr. Pitt
declared that there was "nothing to
it” and that it wras evidently the result
of someone’s false impression or im
agination.
Questioned as to progress in other
lines, Mr. Pitt said, "Our new concen
tration mill and cyanide plant is near
ly finished and will be completed we
expect, inside of two months. These
represent a part of a recent expendi
ture of approximatley a half million
dollars.”
In regard to the-number of men em
ployed at the Premier property Mr.
Pitt said the payroll shows between
250 and 260 men.
The Tally-Ho group of claims along
the route of the W. P. & Y. Route,
ire to be extensively developed this
season. The property has rich ore
containing galena and values in gold.
A syndicate has been organized in
New York, known as the Spotted
Fawn Company, and will spend in the
neighborhood of ?150,000 in the devel
opment of the Twelve-mile silver pro
position near® Dawson this summer.
This property is well known and the
company will thoroughly prospect the
claims and install modern machinery
for its development.
That the future mining outlook of
the Bluff section, both for quartz and
placer, is bright with promise, is the
declaration of Patrick McGrath, a
widely known old timer of that sec
tion.
Mr. McGrath is a sourdough of
sourdoughB and is one of the pioneer
miners of the Bluff district, having
mined there since the early days
when that locality was one of the
heavy gold producing sections of the
peninsula. Bluff is not as lively as
in the days of yore, he says, but
there are lots of chances for profit
able mineral exploitation left. Sev
eral outfits were working there last
winter. Mike Powers and Martin
Marion are taking out a dump on
their ground on Eldorado creek and
Meegan and Olson are also hoisting
gravel in the same locality.
Messrs. Meegan and Olson have
some excellent quartz properties, on
one of which they have operated
a small milling outfit for several
years with good results. The ore is
gold bearing and carries first rate
values.
Work or. the Nixon fork mine is
progressing favorably. A mill is to
be installed there next season. There
is every evidence of a large quartz
camp developing.
Analysis of clay from Quadra show
that it is perfect for the manufac
ture of brick. It is said also that
with the addition of limestone the
clay will make fine cement and can
also be used for pottery.
Mrs.* J. C. Peterson and daughters,
Irma and Margaret, owners and oper
ators of a gold quartz mine at Pearl
Harbor, a few miles north of Juneau,
have left that city to prepare for the
summer’s work on their claims.
The three women do all the work In
the *nlne alone, including mining in
I l*1R tunnel and operation of a small
water-power mill. Their first work
this spring will be around their home
stead in Pearl Harbor, where they
have a small farm. Work at the mine
and mill will be started when the snow
melts off the hills.
S. H. \ elvestadt, well known mine
operator around Juneau, will devote
some time to nickle properties he
has discovered on Chichagof island.
I he vicinity is to be prospected and
some development work done to de
termine the extent and value of the
claims.
Although the marble industry is
hard hit by a slack market, the Ver
mont Marble Works at Tokeen is em
ploying a gang of fifty men, which
is about a normal crew.
"Statistics prove that marriage is a
preventive against suicide,” said
Mrs. Gabb.
“Yes,” growled Mr. Gabb. “And
statistics also prove that suicide is
a preventive against marriage."

More fishermen are wearing
Goodrich Rubber Boots today
than ever before.
The reason for this tremendous
increase in users is simple—
Goodrich wears longer than
other boots, and fishermen have
found it out. Naturally, when a
man buys a pair of Goodrich
“Hi-Press” and they last so
• much longer and are so much
more comfortable, and so ma
terially cut down that big foot
wear bill — he’s going to tell his
friends.
More and more fishermen are
finding out that Goodrich won’t
leak,peel or come apart—it can’t,
for it is made in One Solid Piece -
that’s the Goodrich way.
Look for the Red Line’round the
top when you buy.60,000 dealers
are now selling Goodrich.
