Searchers for real western color with
which to illuminate their tales Of the
frontier have for some time been complain
ing that all the snap and ginger Of the
old life IN the west had departed. To a
certain extent this Is true. The genuine
Indians have nearly all followed the buffalo
over the divide into the happy hunting
ground of the great spirit. The modern
cowboy is less careless with his shooting
iron and his branding iron than he was
in the old days, but II is an error 20 be
lieve that all OF the picturesque deviltry
which gave color to early days In the west
has been eliminated. The bad man wifi
the gun out on the fringe OF civilization
Is fully as bad as his predecessor or earlier
years.

GOLD FROM ALASKA.

With only little more than one
month remaining of the calendar year.
the director of the United States mint
is able to estimate within the narrow
est margin of possible error that the
total output of the Alaskan gold mines
during 1906 will be close around $780,
100000, against $14, $780, 900 last year,
which exceeded by $5,OOO,0OO the
highest previous record. When it is
remembered that it is less than de-
oade since. the public became aware of
the gold resources of Alaska some idea
of their richness and extent may be de-
rived from the fact that the gross
amount of gold produced within a
twelve month is about three times the
price paid by William H. Seward to
Russia in 1868 for the whole vast ter
ritory.
The developments of the year now
almost ended complete the demonstra-
ton that the Alaskan gold output will
be henceforth not only greater than
even the remarkable figure now
reached, but also more reliable and
yielding a higher net profit on the
capital and labor employed. For
while the older placers are not yet by
any means exhausted and new placer
locations will probably be found, a
large and increasing proportion of the
yellow metal now coming out is from
quartz and represents mining on a
strictly business and scientific footing
Collaborating quartz is known TO exist
in immense quantities, and a point has
now been reached at which the large
capital necessary is forthcoming &c
utilize it, so that with improvement OF
transportation facilities the far north.
western possession is to be reckoned
as one of the vast sure gold-producing
! regions of the world.

The complications that have arisen
in connection with the pay of Con
gresham Pollard indicate that it is q
greal deal easier TO get money out Of
the United States treasury than it is
to put 1t back. Those who we're so
strenuous during the campaign in their
demand that Mr.. Pollard put it back
probably had no conception OF the diff
culties he would encounter in case he
should endeavor to return the salary
in question. The disbursing officer of
the house of representatives is now
wrestling with the problem and Mr..
Pollard's conscience is clear, whether
the money reaches the treasury again

Douglas county legislators have Sc

ter Of fact, no legislative delegation

he did when he quit his valuable and in
fiuential newspaper connection to accept
the commissionership, at the earnest solicit

yoke the order that had been made by his
predecessor for the Indians to cut their hair
and otherwise attire themselves as whites.
He found that this order. simple though IL
