MEASURING WATER
IN ALASKA.
Geological Survey Gathers
Data Regarding Streams
in the Placer Country
PROTECTS INVESTORS

WASHINGTON, d. c.. Sept 2s.-This
year the United States geological sur
vey has extended the work of deteBm-
ming the flow OF streams to Alaska in
order that definite information may be
available for persons interested in the
development of Alaskan mineral re-
sources The work has been confined
to the central portion of the Nome dis
trfct In the southern part of Seward
Penlnsula- The extensive deposits in
the rich strikes which have been made
in this section during the past year
make this one of the leading placer
mining camps OF the world and in
sure the comparative permanency OF
the camp
The production OF a placer mining
district depends as much upon the
water supply as does that Of an ir-
rlsated district and in either case the
water supply is generally available for
use only after large expenditures OF
money on dams, bitches and other hy-
draulic works. In order that these ex-
penditures may prove profitable in
vestments il is necessary to have a
dennite knowledge of the water sup
ply and of the productiveness Of the
SOIL or the richness of the mineral
deposits
For the past fifteen years the hydro

In regard to the flow OF the important
streams In the arid West. and as the
direct result of this work the Reclarna-
ton Service is now converting hun
dreds OF thousands of acres of desert

Since the discovery OF gold at Nome
In 1898, over 500 miles Of ditch and
pipe line. costing over s2.0O0.00O, have
been constructed in order to bring the
water to producing areas Owing 70
lack of knowledge OF the water sup

OF this expenditure will probably never
yield any sufficient return on the in
vestment- 1t is in order to guard the
public against such Investments and
to point out the extent OF the water
resources of the country that the gov
eminent is Carrying on these investi-
cations of water supply.
AS result OF this seasons work data
giving both the total flow and it's
daily or weekly distribution will be
available for all the streams which can
be diverted to the vicinity of Nome
during similar seasons. Four rainfall
stations were also established at rep
resentative points on the peninsula.
and much information in regard 10
general photographic conditions and
their relation to mining was collected.

He Ally DISCUSSES
CITY. OWNERSHIP.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Timothy Michael
Healy, M. P, perhaps the most con-
spicuous of Irish statesmen, is stopping
over few days in Chicago on his way
to California, where he will look over
some legal matters connected with his
office as Kings Counselor, the charac-
ter of which he would not divuige In
cidentally Mr.. Healy praised President
Roosevelt for his action in coming out
for spelling reform. 1t will henefit
children with limited educational pos
sfbilities. he said.
Mr. Healy was surprised when he
was compelled TO pay two pence ha'
penny for a ride of one block in a
street car. He felt sure such a ride
In Dublin would have cost but a ''ha'
penny.
Then Mr.. 4.ealy did not hesitate to
express his opinion that municipal
ownership in Chicago would not be a
success If undertaken by the present
or any other administration.
While I am far from posing as an
authority on the subject, my obserya-
ton leads me to believe that municipal
ownership in Chicago will not be a
success, he said. 1t is true that 1t
has been successful in Glasgow. but n
by no means follows that it will be
equally successful in Chicago. Poll
tics enters SO largely into municipal
affairs In this city that it seems to me
1t would wreck any such proposition >"
You are not a believer in municipal
ownership, then?"
No, I am not. Glasgow and Liver
pool present some phases of success
in the municipal operation of tram
ways, but they are isolated instances
l am certain the system which is I'm
vogue in these cities would be utterly
impracticable in city like Chicago"
What about Government owner
ship?"
Il have read with great interest Mr.
Bryan's proposal. It seems to me his
idea is utterly foolish. although I have
not made close study of the matter.
burdensome Government debt it
would seem to me, would quickly be-
come much more of a menace than a
series of heavy municipal or State
debts.
THE question of municipal debt ia
fast becoming the greatest problem In
the United Kingdom. Cities have sunk
themselves In sea of debt for tram
ways, public utilities and other nm
nicipal enterprises, and there is no So
luton of the problem of how to get
them out
Theoretically, municipal ownership
is a good thing, but it does not follow
that municipal ownership in a city like
Chicago would be success. Such a
proposal is always hampered by poll
tics. That has been proved in the
United Kingdom"

UTICA, n. Y, Sept. 2S.-Former

Hearst.
According to the headlines in the

party is grappled by the throat by a
political brigand named Hearst, who
threatens TO strangle it if it doesn't
execute his wishes.
I'VE do not want to lose the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is useful in its way.
and I hope that on mex Tuesday the
Democratic party will rid itself of this
political bandit, who desires TO use it
for the purpose of fur.hering his own
selfish purposes"
