 In this country, as it is now overrun with adyenturers and amateurs who are cursing the fate that ever brought them here, it is pleasure to meet a man who is looking for gold in prac- tical manner.

England done with and for her col onies in Africa?
 The construction of railroads in Cape Colony, which began at Cape Town in 1859 when the railway from Cape Town to Wellington was undertaken. has been pushed forward almost continu- ously since that date. This first of the southern African roads was finished in November of 1863, and the event marked new epoch in the history of the col ony. In late years Cecil Rhodes has pushed the construction of new lines with unceasing energy until now one can travel northward as far as Bulu- wayo, while other lines run from Dur ban i'll Natal, and from Deloga bay.
 In connection with the line from Deloga bay there is bit of history in which Americans are interested, for the South African colonists owe that inn provement in their territory to an American citizen, and out of its con- struetion there has grown an irterna- tional dispute. Deloga bay and adia- cent territory is recognized by America as Portuguese territory, although Eng land has virtually purchased it and the actual transfer has not taken place only because of a protest from the United States government.
 In 1881 Edward McMurdo, an Ameri- can citizen, obtained a concession for building a railroad from the bay to the frontier. He completed the work on contract time; putin 1889 Portugal can eelled the concession, and seized the railroad property. As McMurdo had worked with English capital, Great Britain joined the United States in a protest The dispute was referred to Swiss arbitration, and last year the tribunal decided in favor of the McMur- do claim for e2,o00.0o0. z Portugal has tyet settled, hence the present Amer jean protest.
 England's greatest part in the con- struction of these roads was the guar anteeing Of interest on the investment by the government to the men whose money built them. This was the great assistance needed and was virtually as 1auch for the government to do as the part taken by our government in the building of the great Pacific coast lines in this country, which were made possi- ble by government assistance The home government is now to be asked to guarantee the interest on a new sec ticn of the road which will carry it much farther northward, and no one expects the government to refuse.
 But the development of southern Af- rica has not consisted in the building of railroads alone. Harbors have been constructed in Cape Colony and in

olution, which lost to the mother eoun- try her best colony, the results of na- tions greed.
 There are historians who say it was the loss of the better part of her Amer jean possessions which taught England the needed lesson. Whatever it may have been, the change in her colonial methods date practically from soon after the close of that disastrous war. True, her policy, as outlined by Gen. Kitchener, has not been the result of a radical or sudden change. 1t was not made in q day, month or a year, but it has taken the better part of century to evolve it, until to-day it is many times nearer perfection than that of any other colonizing nation in Europe, Belgium alone excepted, and Belgium has but followed in the footsteps of a wise teacher.
 The early history of Africa, that is her modern history, is but a record of corruption, of greed, of slavery. Port ugal, that nation of hardy adventur- iers, with a determination worthy of better cause, inaugurated it first along the western coast, thence around the cape to the east. She was closely fol- lowed by other nations each anxious to get the lions share. England started near the end in this race for empire in the dark continent, but as is usual, she finished first. and to-day holds the bet ter part of Africa as colonies. True,

 The eolored boy went up to Mr. Jefferson and said:

and out of it he has raised the best crop. Time upon time the strongest coalitions have been formed against Lord Cromer, the khedive, the cabinet. France Russia, Turkey have combined to humiliate him, At his back he has had England, only often an England that did not know her mind But his own mind Lord Cromer has always known, and when things went toe far his opponents came to know it, too.
 Of Gen. Kitchener it is sufficient te say that he has been to Egypt what Gen. Miles was several years ago 10 our western states. Through long years of service he had become familiar with the methods of warfare with which he had to deal. He had witnessed the failurs of Col. Hicks, of the heroic Gordon, and profited by their mistakes. Since 1886, when he was made governor of souakim, and so had an independent command, he has never suffered defeat at the hands of the fanatieal 1nahdi, By his matehless strategy he has re, opened the Nile to commerce, has re: claimed thousands of miles of fertile territory. and released a suffering pee, pie from practical slavery.

France outstrips her in the amount of territory by large amount, but it was quality, not quantity, that England worked for and won.
 For her portion England has, begin ming at the north Egypt, for that coun- try which England has saved from ruin and dissolution is practically hers to-day, and will be hers in reality when the proper time arrives. To that Kitchener has added by new conquest the great valley of the Nile, the Soudan, stretching away to the south. Then comes British East Africa to the south east, where British territory touches the Indian ocean. Then comes the only break in her direct line to the south, a break that was caused by one of Eng lands mistakes when she sent Stanley to Belgium for support for his explora- tions. He raised the Belgium flag over the Congo Free State and so broke England's territorial chain through the central and better portion of the conti-

nent. But King Leopold will not place any obstacles in the way of England's s policy of development. After crossing the Congo Free State England has an unbroken line of territory clear to the cape.
 The real development of Africa in modern times began at the cape. Dur ing the reign of the Dutch the devel- opment was slow, and even after it's capture by the English, in 1795, things did not improve much. The Dutch had. however, introduced some new methods of agriculture. Horticulture and stock raising were encouraged to some extent, but the territory under subiugation was limited, and with the coming of English rule the population was not over 10000 whites. While a change for the better was noted in Eng lands method of dealing with her col- onies immediately after the American revolution, the improvement had not been great even as late as 1915. Kettle, in his Partition of Africa" says of this time:
 At the beginning Of this new era III the history of the world the old conception of the relation of the colonies to the mother country still to a large extent, prevailed, Notwithstanding the lessons taught by the United States, the colonies were regarded
 as the private property of the imperial gov ernment, to be exploited for its benefit, with but little regard to the interest of the colonies But as the great colonies were filled up by immigration and natural tn- crease, as their resources were developed
 and their commerce expanded, as new gen. erations grew up inheriting the ancestral love of independence. the old relations be- tween the empire at home and the empire beyond the seas became modified. The maternal government was naturally re- luctant to recognize the new relation be- l tween herself and her grown up children
 but she wisely yielded, if only inch by inch 1 and, as it were grudgingly The true i'm l perialfstic idea was indeed of slow growth l the conception of the British empire as one great whole, as an organism more or less | homogeneous, which must have room fo1 l development and expansion, is barely more l than eight years old
 1 Those words were written less than
 15 years age. Since that time what has

crn HERE is that in Alaska for which
 men have been known to sell
 u their honor, their liberty, their very souls-that is gold. There are also thousands of people in Alaska whose search for it has been as delu- sive as the fabled bag of gold at the rainbow's end. Conservative estimates place the number of people who braved the terrors and reached into the heart of our far northern territory during the past season at 5O,OoO. Of these it is safe to say that more than 4o,ooo have been disappointed in their search for fabulous wealth. Transportation figures show that 10000 of these have returned to the states or are on their way back at the present time, many of them never having reached the gold fields at all. Thousands of others are working in the mills along the Yukon at wages thatrun as low as two dollars per day, usually including board, for if

it did not a man would starYe on such wages in this country.
 And yet there is gold, and an abun- dance of it, in Alaska. and in 8 few years this territory will be one of the greatest gold-produeing districts in the world. But it is the same old story, told over and over with the discovery of each new gold field, of impetuous rushes, disappointment, starvation and death, not alone for the miner, but oftentimes for those he leaves at home waiting for the riches which he never brings, and finally of the proper de yelopment of the country by the neees- sary capital. Then come the eXcIama- tions of T told you sol" or Just my luek!"
 But Alaska is still what is called "a poor mans mining country" Placer mining will continue to yield good re- turns for those willing to work for sev- eral years to come. Then why is if, you ask, that so many have failed and returned to the states disappointed
 4 visit to Dawson, Circle City or any of the boom towns near the mining dis tricts would answer that question prob ably better than I can, One reason is that the great majority of the men, and mean now the men who will work,
