since the introduction of systematic
methods of mining and extraction that
Ophir creek has become one, of the lar
gest producers of the region.
These facts augur we'll for the future
of the Seward peninsula placer fields. II
is believed that other streams will have
history similar to that of Ophir creek,
In nearly every case thus far the first
work is done along the channels of the
stream. When these are worked out the
prospectors turn their attention to the
benches and terraces, which often yield
good returns.
In some cases, however, the miners
neglect thoroughly to prospect the ter
races and benches, and they have also
abandoned placers which, in the opin-
ion of members of the geological survey,
may still carry gold in paying quanti-
ties.
In Anvil creek last year the most i'm
portant development was in the aurifer-
Gus gravels of the benches, which are
found on both sides of the valley. This
gave a new impetus to mining.
The high-bench gravels from 500 to
800 feet above the sea were discovered in
1900 and are still in process of develop
ment. Some of them have great depth
and the extraction of the gold involves
much labor.
The tundra, or coastal plain, placers
! back of Nome are still worked, but their
development is not yet commensurate
with their probable Importance. 1t is
believed that the gravels of this coastal
plain carry many workable placers.
They are few feet above and below
sea level, are mined through shallow
trenches, and operations have been ham
! pered by lack of facilities for handling
the surface water. When an economic
method of mining these graves in u
large way has been devised handsome
profits will certainly be made.
Everything points to the probability
that the greatest placer mining interests
of Alaska may, for years to come, be CEN
tered in the Seward peninsula; and II
will not be surprising to hear at any
time of most important developments In
the regions shown on this map as gold
producing, but in which little or nc
work has as yet been done.

and the choicest vegetables grow rank
on every side.
There is practically no expense con-
nected with building a home, for ma
terial is going to waste and few hours
work will construct as comfortable a
home as you can find in the neighbor-
hood. Surely the most critical can ask
no more convenient spot.
A glowing tropic sun, copious rainfall,
never a nipping frost or a blighting
drought to blast the hopes and eXpecta-

On some of the coast counties the rain

on the tops of the hills, and this is pos
itively authentic.
The chief industry you will find con-
sists in the raising of coffee, sugar, rub

finest oranges in the world.
Everything grows with but little care
or attention, and all in great profusion,
and of the most superior quality.
The labor question Is in Mexico, as
seemingly in every other country, the
most vexatious problem of the day. 1t is
really most difficult, and at times almost
impossible, to find competent or incom-
petent hands to work on the plantations
or haciendas.
The Mexicans, for the most part, will
refuse absolutely to perform any kind
of systematic labor, or, rather, they will
not refuse, but promise most profoundly

few hours work and then days rest is
the common method among the more re-

hour or two, borrow a few pennies and
then rest and beg till driven by sheer
necessity to go to work again.
Perhaps, though, theirs is the best
philosophy; they have enough to eat,
something to wear and a place to lay
their heads-what is there more?
OF late years, since the railroads have
pushed further south, gangs of Italians
have been imported and worked in the
fields. This has not proved successful,
| however, and such attempts will al
ways fail as long as the men are brought
alone and the families left behind. There
is some talk of Italian colonization, but
whether that is practical or not remains
to be seen.
Some idea of the fertility of the coun-
try may be CLEANED through a glance at
the prices received there for the choice
fruit in comparison to what we pay for
much inferior goods.
Oranges, twice the size Of our market
able article, go begging at four or five
cents dozen; bananas are grown for
the shade the tree gives and sell for a
few cents bunch; pineapples for three
to five cents, and lemons for three for a
penny. This, of course is on the ground,
and there is really no fixed price, as the
natives ask what you will give before
stating their price.

and a contented mind, a disregard for
snakes and love of the beautiful, a
long, care-free life may be passed in

Changes in Programme.
The Problem Solved.
Baltimore American.)


Once upon a time there lived a wo-
man whose face was fright.
Her eyes were not mates.
And neither was her nose.
Her mouth was a misf1t, cut on the
bias, and her chin was perennially alb
sent.
Her skin resembIed that of the light
er spots on Mexican dog, and her
color was much more rudy than that
Of a brickbat.
She had read assiduousIy all the in
formation and directions on the how
to-be-beautifuI.
She had sent her good money to the
beauty doctors everywhere.
But the only reason she didn't grow
homelier was that in constructing her
originally nature had aimed at the linn
it and hit the buIPs-eye.
One day she was walking along the
road toward her home when she saw
that the floods had undermined a rail-
way bridge.
CHANGING at her watch, she found that
it wasn't running.
But the trains were.
She heard faint whistle in the dis
lance and knew at once that it was the
lightning express.
Hastily rushing up the track toward
the oncoming monster, she took off her
new spring poppy hat and waved it
frantically at the locomotive.
Seeing the determination in her face
and fearing she might use her hatpin
on the locomotive if he didn't stop. the
engineer applied the airbrakes and the
reverse lever and stopped.
When it became known that she had
saved the train and perhaps the lives
of many persons, she was a heroine.
And when the papers came out next

And she wept for JOY to know that at
last her wish had come true.

MURDERER LEASIA CAPTURED

barn about four miles from this city.
The couple were sleeping in a barn on
the PaulsOn farm, where late last night
they had eaten supper when the posse
headed by Captain of Detectives Samuel
simmons came upon them. 1t was the
work of a minute to secure and disarm
the murderer. The couple were ex-
