VALUE OF THE
COMMA SHOWN
—^—_
The value of a comma is shown in
the following composition:
“Don’t come too late.” As written
it read. “Don’t come, too late.” An-!
other misuse of the comma—“At this
moment Senator B. entered on his;
head, a bran new silk hat on his feet,
a pair of shining patent leather shoes
on his features, a calm contented
smile.”
Another. “Can let you have the hun
dred pieces at 16 and nine, thousand
more at same rate.” which by change
of comma read, “Can let you have the
hundred pieces at 16. and nine thous
and more at same rate.”
This, in reading, is worst yet. The
sentence was. “A sailor going to sea.
his wife desires the prayers of the
congregation.” The pupil read it “A
sailor going to see his wife, desires,
the prayers of the congregation.”
MINING NOTES
George B. Dean, prominent mining
man from Spokane, has been looking
over the various Willow creek proper
ties, more particularly the develop
ment of the Mohawk Mining company
claims. He left for Spokane on the
Northwestern, but will return to Anch
orage in a short time. In addition
to the Mohawk property Dean visited
the Mabel and Martin mines and
speaks favorably of hi> impressions
of the entire district.
K. H. Bartholf from the Willow
creek mines reports that the snow is
still heavy in the hills and that it will
probably be the middle of the month
before it melts sufficiently to make
prospecting feasible.
The sluicing season in the Tolovana
country has commenced, a number of;
the operators having started putting
the dirt from their dumps through the
sluice boxes.
—
The big mill of the Alaska Juneau
company, now operating four units,
or about one-third of its maximum ca
pacity, will have all twelve of its units
in operation within thirty days. One
hundred men will be employed in the
mill when all the units are operating.'
George Mitchell has completed the
renovating of the former Broadway
Cafe and will move the Seward Grill
into that location this evening. On
this account the Grill will be closed
tonight from 7 p. m. until 6 o’clock
in the morning.
Owing to the high cost of cyanide,
William Martin says that he will not
operate the cyanide plant this season,
but has installed a centrifugal amal
gamator, which will remove the gold
from the slimes. 1
Sluicing has commenced on Esther
creek near Fairbanks, two outfits, it
is reported, being engaged in putting
their winter dumps into the sluice
boxes. Owing to the cold nights the
water is not running very strong.

George Martin was not in his place
Monday afternoon at roll call and
every one wondered what had hap
pened. When he finally arrived he
was holding a handkerchief on his
eye. Upon being questioned as to the
cause he explained that he had had
an argument with a tennis ball and
the ball won the day.
At last good weather is here and
the owners of gardens are happy and
have great hopes. Some report that
their radishes are coming up.
Florence Van Gilder is only waiting
for school to close to leave. We are
all sorry to lose our banner pupil. She
