CONCERNING G(K)I) LOSERS
Northern Light Urges Hen to Be
Reasonable at All Times.
The Fairbanks Northern Light
illustrates the theory that a man
should he a good loser and a reasona
ble creature at all times, by recalling
a shining instructor in the art:
“In the early days of the Klondike
rush those passing through coast towns
to the interior who could not be per
suaded to patronize some of the games
provided for the entertainment and
financial edification of the travelers
were, whenever opportunity offered,
struck on the head with a sandbag
and relieved of their personal effects.
Upon recovery from the shock follow
ing that dizzy experience and after
having discovered his pecuniary loss
the astonished argonaut would listen
to the philosophical Soapy. ‘The best
thing for you to do.’that gentleman
would advise. ‘i> to burry right along
on the trail and get across the line.
You are up against it here and you
will be foolish to make a row about
thi> matter, because you can’t do any
thing. Under the circumstances, you
ought, to be glad you are alive. The
next time, you come in and play your
money, take a chance and save your
head. Now you ought also to be grate
ful to me for this good advice. He a
good loser and a reasonable man.’ ”
Anv Stamps for Special Delivery
After July 1 ordinary stamps may
be used in place of a special delivery
stamp and people will not be compelled
to visit tiie postoftice in order to have
letters or packages sent by special

required to transmit any letter or
package or matter through the mails,
there must be attached to the envelope
or coverisg 10 cents worth of ordinary
stamps of any denomination, with the
words “special delivery,” or their
equiualent, written or printed on the
envelope or covering, under such regu
lations as the postmasterg-eneral may
prescribe. Mail thus stamped, will be
handled, transmitted and delivered ex
actly as though it l*ore the regulation
special delivery stamp.
Samples of Alaska Marble
Sample slabs of six varieties of mar
ble from Marble island taken to Ketch
ikan include dull white, green, dark
veined, light veined, mottled green
and Belgian red. Samples of the blue
and black varieties have been quar
ried and will be out soon. These slabs
are about five feet long, by one foot
wide, and eight inches thick. They
were taken out to demonstrate the
soundness and quality of the marble,
and to determine location for machin
ery. Those on hand will be shipped
to San Francisco.
Head Preserved In Frozen Sand
Nome - Joe Parker and Ashford,
sinking on a claim on McDonald creek,
at a depth of twenty feet below tbe
surface, and firmly imbedded in tbe
frozen beach sand, found the head of a
native in a remarkable state of pre
servation. The hair is still on the
scalp, and the ears cling to the head;
the face is somewhat shrunken, but
most of the flesh is well preserved.
Asia Growing More Arid
The phenomena of rivers, large and
small, of springs, lakes, ruins and veg
etation all seem to point to gradual
desiccation of Chinese Turkestan for
nearly 1500 miles east and west and
500 north and south. The records of
antiquity indicate that the Caspian and
Aral seas were once more extensive
than now and presumably that the
tributary rivers were much larger.
William A. Brewer jr., former pres
i lent of the Washington Life Insur
ance Company, was fined &500 by a
New York court for making a false
report of the financial condition of his
company to the state insurance com
missioner. The court said that was
enough for a small offense.
Pour mining claims, on Silver bay
near Sitka, have been bonded in the
belief that they contain immense low
grade deposits.
Quartz Gold In Kantishna
Tom Lloyd has a quartz goid
mine at the head of Caribou creek in
