GOLD NEAR THE ARCTIC.
Important Discoveries ON the Shores
Of the Sen of 0khotsk.
he Nexg York SIM


The okhotsk sea fills a deep indentation
in the coast of northeast Asia, north OF
Japan and the Amur province of Siberia
1t has always been practically valueless
for little has been done even to discover
what resources Of value it might possess.
The eastern side of the sea is bounded by
the kamchatka peninsula, which is still
only partly explored. Several years ago it
was reported that the prospects for gold
mining along the bleak east and west coasts
of the Okhotsk sea were very promising
The Russian government, therefore decid-
ed to investigate these reports and ascer-
tain whether this new region was likely to
prove of value to the empire
An expedition sent out under the COM
mand Of Mr.. Bogdanowicz has accordingly
been engaged for three years In exploring
the east and west shores OF the sea OF
Okhotsk. The main surveys embrace the
long stretch of Siberian coast between the
mouth of the Amur river and the hamlet
of Okhotsk and the entire western coast OF
the Kamchatka peninsula.
The results of these long researches have
proved that gold exists in important guam
titles in many of the river valleys, particu-
larly between the sea and the great Stano-
vol range of mountains extending north
and south on the Siberian mainland paral-
lei with the west side Of the sea of Okhotsk
Coarse and fine gold were discovered both
along the larger streams and their small
dIilueHlS All lne IdNOraDle reports as TO
the auriferous character of this region
were fully confirmed
The climatic conditions, although some
what severe, present no obstacles TO pros
pecting even in winter The cold season
is so long, however. that mining will be
confined TO about three months, which is a
much shorter working period than among
the mines of the Amur region in other
parts of eastern Siberia. Miners, materials
and supplies must be brought by sea, but
they may be easily landed at several points
along the coast. The leader of the ex-
pedition says that the gold prospects are
worthy of development and will add to an
important extent TO the empires resources
in this precious metal.

Permanent Exposition.

To the Editer of he Evening Star: -+
. Cannot some great effort be put forth to
have a permanent national exposition estab-
lished in this city? There seems to be a
desire to beautify the capital of this great
nation and make it in keeping with the
good taste and greatness of its people. The
large extent of unusual reclaimed land,
known as ''The Flats" would be an admir-
able place to locate such an exposition.
Congress has expended millions of dollars
for this purpose. Why not make those mil
liens bring back something by utilizing the
land that it has thus created? AS to the
benefits aecruing to the nation from such
enterprise, no one can for moment
entertain a doubt. Every blade of grass,
all our live stock food products and i'm
pfements of thrift would be bettered by it,
and this would carry us to the very top Of
intelligent progress and advancement. The
old countries look to us to lead in those
things. We have the genius and energy
to do. and by this means we can do so
in shorter time and on safer lines than
any other. If this exposition would not be
self-supporting it would certainly be nearly
SO, and the great benefits resulting from it
to the nation would make millions Of dol
lars per annum in our favor. We need it,
The nation needs it, The city will never
be 50 beautiful or attractive without it as
with it. By all means let US have a great
permanent national exposition.

An Entirely Different Creature Here
From the Myth of Rural Imagination.
From the New York Sun.
Nothing better proves that this town is :.
community Of busy men than the peculiari-
ties of the clubs. In all the great capitals
of Europe the clubs are frequeuted at all
hours OF the day and far into the night
Most of the New York clubs are nearly
empty during business hours. and few OF
them are open long after midnight The
class OF professional idlers is relatively So
small in New York that they make up a
considerable proportion of the membership
OF very few clubs. In the large clubs they
are an insignificant fraction Of the mem
bershlp
Most New York clubs have an early
breakfast hour and In nearly all Of them
there are members who would like TO have
Inc nour earlier than IL is. On all business
days most of the club habItues brea kfast
between 1:3o and . O'Clock. After ln
O'Clock the breakfast room usually has
three or four occupants. A few men OF
leisure breakfast later, but between Ia
O'Clock and l2:3O 1t would he hard to find
score OF men in any one of the great clubs
unless some special occasion has brought
them together.
Within the last ten or twelve years lunch
con has become an important meal al many
uptown clubs. 1t used to be that only
Few men OF leisure took luncheon al their
clubs. With the uptown movement OF bus
iness. however, hundreds OF men have
adopted the habit Of taking luncheon at
some one of the clubs between Goth street
and 5oth. A good many clubs, indeed. owe
a considerable part Of their membership
to the fact that they are conNeuiently sit
uated for business men who prefer lunch
con al their club to luncheon at a res,au-
rant. Men estimate that they can literally
save money by Joining club that furnishes
luncheon at a moderate price. Tips given
al Soo luncheons equal two-thirds the an
nual dues of the ordinary club, and food.
wines ana cigars are little cheaper al a
good club than at a good restaurant
The club luncheon hour is an unusually
pleasant one, very different from the same
hour at a downtown restaurant But most
men do not linger long even at the club
luncheon. The business habits of the town
assert themselves even here.

January IS. 1865 just thirty-four years
ago tomorrow. the Rev. Dr. A. W. Pitzer

his work at Leayenworth and returned to

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
l have read with much interest the vari-
Gus articles and suggestions to the Com
missioners Of the District on the subject
of finance and economy, but 1 have yet to
learn why there should be any deficit; one
which should require extra taxation 1t
seems to me that the main cause for the
deficit is in the expenditure Of huge sums
for the extension of streets, when it is
most apparent that there are numberless
vacant lots in every part of the city, ex-
cepting the business portion. The question
is. If large proportion Of these lots were
utilized would they bring increased reve-
nue. to the District? i should say, undoubt-
edly. Besides, the city would be beautified
by having the huge gaps replaced by good
specimens Of architecture. AS it is the un-
necessary extension of the streets has al
ready decreased the price Of land per
square foot, and has made a skeleton city
