WAS DANA.s RIGHT HAND MAN
The Death Of John Swinton, Writer
and Socialist in Brooklyn.


A New York dispatch says: John
Swinton, writer and leader with labor
organizations, Is dead at his home In
Brooklyn, aged 70 years. Mr.. Swinton
was born in Scotland, and for more than
80 years he was connected with New
York papers. At one time he had a
paper of his own. His wife survives
him.
Swinton was for many years close to
the late Charles A. Danna in the editor
ship Of the New York Sun. When a boy
he emigrated to Canada and afterwards
to the United States. He received q
course of classical instruction at Will
liston seminary, Massachusetts,, and i'm
mediately set out on a tour of this coun-
try, which he pretty we'll covered. In
1858 he was on the editorial staff of the
New York Times, and for time manag
ing editor. During the absence of Henry
j. Raymond he wrote many of the lead
ing articles. He was always bold and
outspoken, but had respect for those who
differed from him.
He was socialist, while Mr.. Dana
was a friend of wealth and corporations,
yet each respected the other for the hon.
est support of his convictions. For
number of years John Swinton was
nanag ing editor of the Sun, and was re-
sponsible for many of the clever editor
ials for which the Sun is famous. He
remained with this paper up to the time
of Mr.. Danas death, when he resigned.
Mr.. Swinton published a number of able
pamphlets, including the New ISSUE"

SILvERMAN'S ALASKA WORK.
He Expects to Ship 200 Tons Per
Month From Copper Mountain.

Sam I. Silverman, mining man of Butte
and Spokane, whose attention has for
several months been confined to prop
critics in Southeastern Alaska. arrived
in Spokane Wednesday night. He
reached Seattle from Ketchikan, Alaska,
10 days ago, and has since been to Cali
fornia. Concerning his Alaskan mining
prospects, Mr.. Silverman said last even-

showing apparent-not real-exceptlons'
owing to the greater depth of erosion
and more numerous lode systems.
The new miner does go into these old
placer gold fields and in many instances
finds new placers and in more instances
new lodeS. In some cases the looe
source of the placer gold is found to
have been the bedrock of the placer It
self. This bedrock may, or may not, be
rich enough in gold to be commercially
untilizable. but this is matter of spe-
cial investigation in each case. what
the miners in general way designate
as ''porphyry' is type of bedrock that
it is always we'll to examine closely. The
rock may be one of several distinct
types of eruptive rocks.
Where the Gold May Lie.
The gold may be in the mass Of it, in
visible to the naked eye. or it may be in
fine, knife blade seams of quartz or lime
spar, filing joint and fracture planes.
such gold-bearing rocks usually carry
pyrite, which. oxidized at the surface.
hides the true character of the rock and
is misleading where the eye is de-
pended on alone for conclusions as to
metal bearing value.
The preceding is one source Of placer
is in near by quartz mines separated
from the old placer ground by steep
eroded surfaces on which placer gold in
paying quantities is not collected. These
lodges may be capped by soil or detrital
accumulations, but their possibility is
nearly always an estimable quantity by
the prOspectOr. Iron caps or Sossan de-
posits also hide values that are close to
the old placers.
So great a mea sure of success is at
tending on this character of prospect
ing. and mechanical appliances by which
low gold values in rock are made COM
mercially utilizable are so improved.
that all the old gold fields, particularly
the old placer gold fields. should be
looked over for new mines. The verdict
of the past as to the facts or as to COM
mercial availability should not be re-
garded as conclusive. In the end it may
prove that it can be said, "Once a gold
mine always gold mine."

Joseph Fletcher. formerly resident Of

states all originally obtained their gold
from the breaking down of gold bearing
lode deposits. Unless the old placer
miner actually found collaborating lode
