"Yon do not find anyone wearing ov. erconts in Alaska, even in the winter," said Major F.

M. M. Beall, who is at New Howard, after having recent ly: returned from that Territory. "The principal thing to be careful about is keeping the head, hands and feet warm. In that part.

of Alaska where I have been the only land transI portation is by dog sleds, and to fol low them, one has to drop into a dog trot beside the sled. "An ordinary suit, is plenty and thick enough to keep you warm, an overcoat is dangerous in that temperfature. Trotting along side a sled wearing an overcoat would make you. perspire, and the bitter cold would freeze the. prespiration.

"The men there wear a fur cap that covers every part of the head and face except the eyes, and there is only a little peep-hole for them. Wool-lined mitts are worn on the hands, and moc-. casins, with woolen stockings, on the feet." Mayor Beall has been three years in Alaska, commanding Fort Gibbon, the 'garrison consisting of two companies of the Third United States Infantry. He is now on leave of absence, and is accompanied by Mrs! Beall and Miss Grace Beall, his daughter. "Fort Gibbon is 900 miles up the Yukon river and 75 miles south of the! Arctic Circle," he said, "and the river frozen up most of the year.

In that i time dog. sleds are used, but when the river opens steamers come up frequently. Sometimes the rough charactors traveling around the country and take it's possession of a river steamer, part of our work to restore order and recapture the steamer. "The chief work of the soldiers at Fort Gibbon is to keep the telegraph lines. going.

Since laying the cable Seattle the United States Gorernmant has had all the mining camps connected by telegraph. and it is our work: to maintain them. We keep of dor in the country and protect the ple against stealing by traveling roughs. we send any of our men out we always have men experienced in of the country go along.

TRY A TIMES WANT AD. From the New York Sun. Warnings are being sent out by Importers of precious stones to whole sale and retail jewelers to beware of glass imitations of rubies, emeralds, and sapphires that have been sold in large quantites In the last week or two to dealers by a French vendor who called the articles reconstructed stones. It is said that some of the im-1 itations have already been sold under the same 'name to holiday buyers. i Resident importers say that the sale of glass imitations for reconstruct ted stones is as much of a fraud as is the sale of the latter as natural gems.

The Frenchman, according to reports reaching these importers, obtained from retail jewelers prices fully' 100 times what they would bave paid if they had known that they were buying glass. The man with the glass imitations, which he brought here from Paris, sold them in other cities of this country before offering 'hearacter Maiden Lane dealers. The of imitations was discerned at one of the lapidary houses, and in an effort to entrap the vendor a large order was given to him on condition that he give a written guarantee, that the stones were reconstructed. The Parisian refused to give a written guarantee, Other dealers were notified, and the man, packing up whatever stock he not sold, sailed for Paris, Importers say that there has been a growing tendency on the part of unscrupulous dealers to use words such as "synthetic," and "scientific." in order to get high prices for cheap imitations. The distinctions between the natural, the artificial and the imitation stones are clearly made by law in France, and men in the whole sale jewelry district have begun an agitation.

to bring about simiTarly clear legislation in. this country. Some authorities in the Maiden Lane district say that rubies are the precious stones that are produc-! ed artifically for the market and that the success of the French chemists in making rubies identified in chemical constituents with natural stones has been followed by false pretenses about the other precious stones.
