rf.I.AMAK COWER
DISTRICT, ALASKA
lit these days of rapid consump
tion of copper iu tlie uKuiufacture g
munitions of wax, and the conse
quent histL pries of that metal, spec
ial interest attaches to any discus
sion ot our national supply of cop
per. During the last lo years, the
Priuce William Sound region, Alas
ka, has become an important cop
per-producing district, and the num
ber ol productive mines there is
constantly increasing. The Ella
mar district, a part of this region,
has been the sceue of active, min
ing since lyOo, and lu order that
accurate Information concerning this
area should be available to the
public the United States Geological
survey has recently prepared and
published a detailed report on it.
This report contains excellent topo
graphic and geologic maps, on a
scale of about a mile to the inch,
and is illustrated by numerous
plates and figures. The discus
sion of the history of the district
and the description of the geo
graphy are of interest to the lay
reader; the treatment of the areal
and structural geology and the dis
cussion of their bearing on the
distribution of the ore deposits, as
well as the description of the miues
and prjspects, are more technical.
Tho geology of the Prince Wil
liam Sound region is highly com
plex, and the attempt to read the
geologic history of this part of
America from the rock formation as
they now appear encounters many
difficulties. Tho almost complete
absence of life in the Alaskan
oceans during the period of deposi
tion of many thousands of feet of
sediments has left the -rocks practi
cally devoid of fossils, which are
so valuable in determining the age
of rocks. Nevertheless, the succes
sion of the rock formations at El
lainar bas been determined, and
their determination should aid In
deciphering th3 geology of other
parts of Prince William Sound.
Some new conclusions have also
been reached concerning the origin
of the Ellamar copper deposits.
Th»» report, which is entitled
"The Eliamar district, Alaska," by
S. H. Oapps and B. L. Johnson, is
published as Bulletin 605 of the
United States Geological survey and
may be obtained free by applying to
the director.

ihe prediction of F. R. Hamburger,

"The supply o' blue vegetable dye
is just about exhausted," lie said,
"and we are unable to get more, as
Germany is the iole exporter of the

The enormous demand for wool foi

other.
"The moon was behind me, of
course. The double falls, shining
like silver, lit brilliantly by re

the trees which hid me from the
moon. Turning, I saw my Bhadow
outlined vividly upon the grass."

Ono of the first deep wells
drilled In the west was put down
near Huxley, Nev., by the C®Atral
Pacific Railway lu 1881, in. a.
search Xor good water. The bor
ing reached a depth of 2,750 feet,
buf the water obtained was of very
unsatisfactory quality. At 1,700
feet the drill encountered a bed of
"petrif'ed clams" and the record
states that at 1,900 feet well-pre
served "redwood timber" was found.

HAIR TELLS CHARACTER.
Color of Hair Said to Indicate a Per
son'* Temperament.
Many people believe that blonde, or
11tht hair denotes affection and dark
hair constancy. A person without hair
la not devoid of character; far from it.
The disposition of the average bald
headed man Is to show such solicitude
for the welfare of others, that he neg
lects himself. A germ causes baldness.
Prof. Sabouraud. of Paris. France, ln
nocculated a rabbit with Dandruff germs,
causing It to become totally bald in Ave
•weeks' time. To rid the scalp of these
dangerous germs It 13 necessary to apply
Nowbro's Herplclde.
