tomorrow he will be here at the sou to get it in it's virginity from the soil. For every adventurous dollar that has reached these shores there will come thousands of dollars looking for legiti- mate investments if we so will it. It lies absolutely with ourselves to assure that safety to capital which it needs to turn this country into a country of in- tense mining activity near and far, through winter and summer. Brave men and capital will laughingly. con quer physical obstacles, but they will turn their backs forever with disgust on moral turpitude and dishonesty.
 The lucky grass-root miner is not the man who makes mining district. His easy fortune cripples further efforts. The man who is boosted by honest failures to ultimate success is the man this country needs. Systematic efforts must take the place of lucky mining, and we are just entering that period here where intelligent action, based on gained experience, begins to explore the riches of the land. It is ever when man can commence to use his judg- ment, when he is in position to draw logical deductions from his own fail ures and those of others, that he finds himself on the right path. The names of the pioneers who by their ill-fated attempts have pointed out right di rections are often quickly forgotten, but their work has always been of the largest benefit to their successors.
 One or two men can never demon strate the richness of any country; it takes the numbers. Of that we have vivid object lessons on this peninsula. At first it was said that Nome was the only district of value here. Naturally, having the largest number in popula- tion, it was proven more quickly. In- crease in population always soon brings about decrease in expense of opera tions; since we have seen the Council City section grow to rival us in pro- portion as the number of working miners there multiplied. Thus, too, the Solomon country is coming to the front, and so will the Kougarok. the lnmachuk, the keewalil and others. Shortly the immense richness of all these gold-bearing areas will be abso- lutely established. The outside world so far but little realizes the extent of this northern Eldorado. It lies with us to spread rightful information.
 We Cften hear it stated that this is not q poor mans country, That de bends on the definition of the worG "poor.' If it means totally without means, will power and wopthiness. it i: true. But this is the best country il the world today for the honest man O small means and lots of grit and en ergy. Such q mans opportunities are countless here if he only rightly ap- plies himself to learn the lessons this northland is teaching from day to day. Above all it tries to teach honest and hearty cooperation of man with men.

lodges progress, they are fast wedding out the objectionable members that al- ways mark the first stage of any fra ternal organization. The bringing in of so distinguished person as Presi- dent Roosevelt is regarded as distinct step in placing the order on higher plane socially and otherwise. The fol- lowing account is given by | publica- tion of Gotham: S.'
 "President Roosevelt was initiated yesterday into the mysteries of the Or der of Eagles out in Wyoming, and the Eagles of New York City, including Representative "Tim' Sullivan, Sena- tor Grady, Larry" Mulligan, George Considine, Lien" Wager, Charlie" White, Lou" Betts and Louis Lud- lum, are metaphorically Tapping their wings in honor of the great event.
 "Not since the eagle bird sored aloft in the Herald Square theatre three years ago with thousands of dollars hanging from it's beak and talons and Senator Timothy D. Sullivan, the Worthy President" of the organiza tion was given thousand dollar gold and diamond badge emblematic of his worthy office, has anything occurred in the society that has aroused so much enthusiasm among the members of New York Aerie, No. 40, as the entrance of President Roosevelt into the order.
 "That's why the New York Eagles made holiday and gathered together in their choice habitats and wished Brother Roosevelt "Happy days and many of 'em." All the leading sport ing men are New York Eagles.
 "The invitation of the local lodge of Eagles in Cheyenne, Wyo., to Presi- dent Roosevest asking him to be initi- ated into the order on his visit there on Memorial day, was accepted, and great were made for the impor- tant event.
 "A solid silver case mounted with gold letters, to contain his initiation cards, has been made, and it is said that something in the golden card line may be doing here in honor of the initi- ation. At all events, the eagle bird will be much in evidence.
 "The Order of Eagles was organized at Seattle several years ago to succor and aid the unfortunate, so that Brother Roosevelt may be sure of help when he is out of work. and hearty welcome by New York Aerie No. 40. Hundreds of thousands of dollars have been col lected from the various branches of the order and distributed among those needing financial aid.
 "The order has aeries-'nests of birds of prey,' the dictionary explains it-in all the large cities as far east as Chi cago. Stephen O Brien came here from Seattle in November, 1899, and organ ixed the aerie in this city. Senator Timothy D. Sullivan was elected presi- dent and there are now about a thous- and members, with the applications pouring in so fast that the secretary is kept busy.
 Judge William Travers Jerome. now district attorney, was very much sur prised in May, 1901, when he received letter notifying him that he had been elected an honorary member of the Or

the Black Hills. There, too, failures have by far exceeded successes, but the many failures are always quickly for gotten, and only success is remem- bered. All vital problems are solved by elimination; every great success is attained by numberless failures: all important inventions are the result of countless experiments. What should give us courage above all in the future of this country is that already rightful and thoroughly adapted modes and methods of mining are rapidly taking shape.
 Miners of worldwide regulations as masters of their craft are tOilng and devising amongst us. They have taken hold of the country in practical way, and their whole heart and soul is in the work. Miles upon miles of ditches have been dug, and hydraulics mining is already in full swing in parts of the land without fear that the debris com missioner will interfere with their lu- crative tolls. Railroads are being built in different directions. Transportation facilities we need above all. The build CTS are men who have interests in the country and know it's needs. Quartz mills are being erected, and every miner of experience who is here is sa.- isfied that in not too long time stamps after stamps will be at work in this section of Alaska night and day, year in and year out. The whole re- zion is exceptionally well mineralized, specimens of high-grade native ores oI many varieties being daily brought tc town by old, experienced prospectors From the north we have the news thai tin ore has been found in place in large bodies. All in all, the vista into the future through the already accom- plished facts shows brighter and brighter. But a dark cloud is steadily lowering over us, which holds us in it's gloom and which hides us from the world at large.
 We are all well aware of the fact that it has not been so much the physical conditions which have retard-

ed quicker growth of this country as it has been the lack of the right kind of population and of the proper spirit to honestly take hold and to conquer. That motley crowd of over 10000 peo- pie which came to this northern El- dorado in the year of 1900 contained only about one per cent of miners: the balance were drones who look ed for an easy living on the tolls of others. Drones are ever the drags on pro- gress and prosperity. The unscrupu- lous mining promoter, with his short sighted fake schemes to make quick and easy money, has been all too active up here, and he has largely succeeded in giving the district the name of being a failure. He is ever the curse of new mining country, and the peo- pie here have never taken the right steps to expose and to suppress him. Litigation under the most unfortunate and the most unSavory conditions, which are too well known to need eX- planatory comments, has done us un- told harm. It lies with ourselves to put stop to it. Those who have the true interest of this country at heart must get together.
 Self-reliance has ever been the key note of success. One of the best signs of our future prosperity Is that we dc not hear this year near as much the cry for capital to come up and help us to develop the country, as we have il years gone by. Another notable fact is that the money which has beer yielded by the soil is getting rapidl, reinvestcd by the successful miners il new properties. Their confidence il this country will do much to beget tho confidence of the outsiders. Naturally here comes the alarmist who proclaims that the whole country will be shortly in the hands of a few corporations Such one does not realize the extent of our empire.

Dawson, Y. T., June 30.-President "Teddy" Roosevelt was initiated into the mysteries of the Fraternal Order of Eagles at Cheyenne, Wyo., on Memo rial day, May 30. The news did not reach Dawson until last Saturday and was followed by the local aerie, No. 50, properly celebrating the suspicious event the night following.
 The health of the president of the American republic was proposed and drunk in flowing bumpers. American and Canadian joined hands and clinked glasses in festivity over the initiation into the order of the most prominent man in America today.
 According to the dispatches Mir. Roosevelt got all that was coming to him. He is said to have desired this himself, and his desire showed the true Rough Rider spirit.

The other day number of men, miners by appearance, were discussing on the street the mining outlook of the Seward peninsula. Why" I heard one of them exclaim, Eff this country was only California it would produce one hundred millions of dollars every year for many years to come," mean ing, undoubtedly, that it was only lacking the natural and climatic ad- vantages of the sunny southland to bring its gold output to such huge pro- portions. The speaker, a typical miner. grizzled and weatherworn, stopped by many years of toll in his profession, which he must have followed in many lands, and truthful blue eyes shining out of rugged and ruddy features, gave one the impression that he knew whereof he was talking, and as his re- mark went unchallenged by all by islanders it may be inferred that it about expressed the general opinion of the crowd.
 Practically, there is no doubt what soever in the mind of any man who has spent any length of time in the coun- try, and has employed it well to look around, of the immense wealth which lies stored up in the gold-bearing area of this section, but the trouble is, and the fact remains, that we are living, toiling and enduring under the shadow of the Arctic circle. The skeptics and the pessimists, who are always among us, will discouragingly persist that the handicap will prove itself too strong. Howsoever, we who have watched now for four years the pluck and perse- yerance of the miners to make the soil yield it's gold in steadily increasing quantities, under most severe and all kinds of unfavorable conditions, feel assured that ever-growing success will crown their efforts as they gain ex- perience and become more familiar with all their surroundings.
 Every new mining country has its own problems to solve. It was not, by any means, all plain sailing in the early days of California or Colorado or
