With the completion of the govern
ment railroad in Alaska will come a
boom in quartz mining that will even
eclipse the placer record already made,
says M. C. Tynen, of Anchorage, who
Is In Seattle to purchase machinery
and supplies to develop a group of
claims at the head of Peter's creek,
near Knik arm. “There is a lot of high
grade quartz ore that is just awaiting
better transportation facilities to begin
to produce,” said Mr. Tynen yester
day at the Seattle. "There are three
groups of claims near mine that are
now being worked on, and on my hold

THE NEW BELGIUM CAPITAL.
(Brooklyn Eagle.)
Havre, however. Is something more
than a British base. Havre is the Bel
gium capital. Imagine if you can the
government of the United States mov
. lng to Atlantic City, or, better yet, to
Asbury Park with the Japanese or the
Mexicans or even (to make the analogy
exact) the Germans in possession of
Washington. Stick the state depart
ment Into one empty shop along the
boardwalk, the navy department Into
another, with the departments of com
merce, labor, agriculture, education
r.uu what not occupying adjacent
shops in the same building. There you
have an idea of Belgium in Havre.
The Belgiums chose a large new
building on e bluff facing the sea, four
stories high, with a row of shops front
ing the stroe*-. Over the main en
trance a small sign in blue and white
letters was erected, Palais des Minis
ters. The Belgian arms were stuck
over the door and the Belgian flag run
up a staff on the roof. Two sentry
boxes wero set down at the right and
left of the entrance and the ministry
moved In after arriving in Havre, to
gether with the entire diplomatic corps
(Brand Whitlook excepted) in motor
cars one dark night in November.
This arrangement holds today, ex
cept for the ministry of war, which
is Important enough to occupy a large
stone villa almost at the water's edge.
Outside this villa the Belgian flag
flies during the day. At sundown it
is lowered with what ceremony can be
devised. Three or four gendarmes line
up at attention. At the door of the
garage in the little garden the mili
tary chauffeurs stand with hands rais
ed In salute. On the lawn under the
windows a few clerks group themselves
and Baron de Brocquevllle, minister
of war, and his small staff appear at
the top of the low steps. The pas
sersby. If any, pause and remove their
hats.
A dirty trench mortar, rescued from
active service, still smeared with gray
war paint, Is discharged. A bugle is
sounded very slowly. Then, with every
body looking straight across the water
toward England, the flag of Belgium
flutters down. A soldier steps forward
| and folds it up. And not until he has
disappeared Into the house with it
under his arm do the stiff figures un
bend.
King Albert, they will tell you. has
never been In Havre
"Why," you ask
He is in the field with his army."

liquid. That is about 1.300 times your
own weight.
If you were to stack the bread you
will have consumed in this number of
years the pile would equal a fair sized

will have used on this bread would
come to a ton and a quarter. If you
