SHORT COURSE IN MINING.
.76
2. 25

LX'.ui Milnor Roberts, head of the
school of itiitM s of the University of
Washington, is preparing Vs short
course for mining men and others in
terested in mining and metallurgy.
I'he course begins on January ."> and
extends over a period of three
months, in which all of the course or
any part of it can be taken up. No
entrance requirements are necessary,
as the course is constructed for the
practical mining man who has not
had -technical education in his voca
tion.
Men are coming In from the min
ing regions, and many of these, it is I
expected, will take advantage of the
course, says the P.-I. In the past,
as well as this year, the course is
such that all of a student's time can
be taken up in the work, yet there
have been men who have success
fully carried 011 the course and still
did Vitside business.
In the morning the class room
work Is taken up and the lectures
given. The afternoon hours are de
voted to drawing, mill work, assay
ing and chemistry.
A commission appointed this year
by congress to investigate- mining
conditions, in its report states its
opinion of schools of this kind as
follows:
"The work of such schools supple
ments most effectively that of the
colleges already established in many
parts of the country for the more
thorough training of mining engin
eers."
This commission was composed of
\ h i >r Watteyne, inspector general of
mines in Belgium; Carl Meissner.
councilor for mines in Germany, and
Arthur l>esborough. H. M. inspector
of explosives, of Ktigland.
1?; t year twenty-six men registered
at the University of Washington for
the special course. Nearly all of
these men were experienced miners.
>!et few of them expected to do out
side work while going to college, as
most of them had made enough
money to carry them through the
term easily. Nothing is charged ex
cept for the cost of materials and
books.
In years previous many high-class
men have taken advantage of the
work offered. Superintendents, man
agers. foremen and machine men of
mines have also taken up this short
course.
The university's equipment in as
saying. ore dressing and mining Is
complete.
Speaking of the Alaska gold out- J
put an exchange says: It is extrtyne
lv unlikely that the yield of gold
from Alaska in any future year will
ever fall below the level recorded this
year. The new districts which have
been opened, the Improvements in
transporvition facilities and the intro
duction of machinery on a large
scale, all go toward Increasing pro
duction very largely. It is most im
probable that there will be two suc
cessive years of drought and short
age of water for mining purposes
Given an ample supply of water and
?no labor troubles, next year will be
the banner one in gold production in
Alaska.
The Cordova Alaskan asserts that
Cordova polls 969 republican votes.
On the occasion of the delegate elec
tion there was a holiday to give them
an opportunity to cast "em for Cor
son. They did so to the number of
776. There was a hullabaloo about
the national election over there; a
straw vote was taken and SIXTV
ONE votes were cast for TAFT and
136 for all others. There was just
twelve weeks between the two
events with the latter having the
age. Tilt, tut.
Negotiations are on to bring Cor
nell, Yale and Harvard row%g crews
to Seattle during the exposition. It \
is planned to hold at least one regat- j
ta on Lake Washington each month :
during the exposition, which opens'
June 1 and closes October 16. Ar
rangements have been made for a
series of races between California.
Stanford and the University of Wash
ington. and Wisconsin and other mid
dle west colleges have been asked to
send crews.
We would certiflnly feel more com
fortable?safer like? with Admiral
Dewey directing things In the navy
department, than with a mere chee
cha? that is to say a land lubber at
the helm. Wonder somebody had'nt
thought of !>*; before.
Mr. Burton is author of a work on
"Financial Crises and Periods of
Commercial Depression." That ought
to qualify him to be secretary of the
treasury? eh? ? if he knows about
what he writes.
Any old time ? before or after ? that
.Mr. Roosevelt chooses to come to Al
aska he will find the latch string to
our cabin hanging where it can be
seen from the outside.
Life in Haiti ? for those who like
it ? is just about_ ideal. There is al
ways something doing.
Alfred Brooks is certainly doing
great work for Alaska.
Are we to understand that Papke
blames his defeat on his manager?
Here's to the Pope's good health.
THE WELCOME.
COME In the evening or come In the
morning.
Come when you're looked for or
come without warning.
Kisses and welcome you'll And here
before you.
And the oftener you come here the more
I'll adore you.
Light I* my heart since the day we were
pllchted.
Red Is my cheek that they told me was
blighted.
The green of tho trees looks far greener
than ever.
And the linnets are singing. "True lovers,
don't sever"'
I'll pull you sweet flowers to wear If you
choose them.
Or after you've kissed them they'll He on
my bosom.
I'll fetch from the mountain Its breese to
Inspire you;
I'll fetch from my fancy a tale that won't
tire you.
Oh, your step's like the rain to the sum
mer vexed farmer
Or saber and shield to a knight without
armor,
I'll sing you sweet songs till the stars
rise above me;
Then, wandering. I'll wish you In silence
to love me.
We'll look 'through the trees at the ellfT
and the eyrie.
We'll tread round the rath on the track
*? of the fairy,
We'll look on the stars, and we'll list to
the river
Till you'll ask of your darling what gift
you can give her.
Oh. she'U whisper you. "Love as un
changeably beaming.
And trust when In secret most tunefully
streaming
Till the starlight of heaven above us shall
quiver
As our souls flow In one down eternity's
river."
80 come In the evening or como In the
morning, *
Come when you're looked for or come
without warning.

DOCTOR ADVISED
USE Of CUD
After Other Treatment Failed ?
Eczema in Raw Spot on Baby
Boy's Face Lasted for Months
Cried with Pain when Washed.
ECZEMA WAS CURED AND
HAS NEVER REAPPEARED
"Our baby boy broke out with
eczema on his faco when ono month
old. Ono place on the side of his face
the size of a nickel was raw like beef
steak for three months, and he would
cry out when I bathed the parts that
were sore and broken out. I gave him
three months' treatment from a good
doctor, but at the end of that time the
child was no better. Then my doctor
recommend^ Cuticura. After using
a cake of Cuticura Soap, a third of a
box of Cuticura Ointment, and half a
bottle of Cuticura Resolvent he was well
and his face was as smooth as any
baby's. He Is now two years and a
half old and no eczema has reappeared.
I am still using the Cuticura Soap; I
think it is the finest toilet soap I ever
used. I keep my little girl's hair and
faco cleansed with it too. I am so
thankful for what Cuticura has dono.

"Don't you know," said the physiolo
