SCIENCE IN, MINING

That great portion of the worlds
progress is due to science is being dem.
onstrated more aud more each day.
The scientists will declare that all pro-
gress is due to science, and if we wish
to draw the line closely. this declaration
is not unreasonable. Our conclusions,
however, will depend largely upon our
definition of the term. In a brief way,
science might be defined as the acquis-
ition and logical grouping of facts as
based on fundamental law. As yet
man has not perfected this process in
any particular branch, but many of the
present day sciences are so far adj
vanced as to fill the practical require
ments of human need.
The sciences allied to the mining in
dustry have developed to state bor-

dering on perfection, bat ingenuity and
research are constantly adding new
wonders. The various departments of
mining are all dependent upon some
form of science. Geology IL probably
the corner stone OF the whole industry.
What an advantage the modern searcher
after minerel wealth has over his ances-
trial prospector. To him the book OF
natures secrets has been opened and
the signs that we're once hidden are
now visible. Not that geology, or its
kindred sciences, are infallibIe. The
mistakes, however, are mostly due to
errors in human application rather
than to the principles of the science
Then, as result of scientific research
and development, we have the sff1cient
and powerful explosives, modern ma
chinery for every mining purpose,
steam, electricity, and, in fact, most
every necessity for successful operation.
In the metallurgical branch Of mining
the advancement is perhaps the most
marked. The sciences of chemistry and
physics have brought this department
of the great industry to state of pro-
ficiency that is truly wonderful The
evolution of milling and smelling prac-
tices has been 80 rapid and com plete that
they have in themselves become sep
crate distinct sciences.
And so we might go on and I'LL vol
umns telling Of the various sciences
that have been developed within the
mining industry and OF the sciences
from which they sprung. The mining
industry is builded upon science. and,
as this science becomes more perfect
and better understood, SO is mining put
upon a more solid basis, on higher
plane of human endeavor- Mining Re-
view.

In the building OF ships, unless we are
going to enter into the rivalry with
them in the grabbing of land. The ex-
cuse given for the increase in the navy
Is that we have islands in the eastern
hemisphere which we must protect, and
some insist that we must have navy
two or three times as large as we have
now. II might be sufficient answer to
say that Japan knows how much it
costs to hold the Philippine Islands,
and that she would be very foolish to
seek transfer of that burden to her
self in exchange for any trade advan-
tages there might be there.
But let us, for the sake of argument,
assume that Japan wants the Philip
pine Islands-aIthoug there is no
reason to believe that she would
we not be in better position to defend
the Islands If they were Independent?
If the Filipinos were in charge of their
own government they could have an
army and arms and ammunition. We,
as protector, could supply what they
needed, and train the soldiers. The
Filipinos wonld be willing to fight for
independence. and when we remember
how stubbornly they resisted us, we
can appreciate the aid they would rem
der us if any other nation should at
Tempt to enforce sovereignty over them.
By reserving coaling stations and naval
bases, we should have all the advan-
tages that we have now, without the
disadvantages of our present position.
And then, too, there is the likelihood,
if not the certainty, that we could Sc
cure the naturalization of the Islands
by agreement, and thus relieve our
selves from all expense or care.
The Democratic policy does not con-
template immediate withdrawal from
the Islands, but it contemplates an i'm
mediate announcement Of the nations
policy. When that policy is announced,
all suspicion will be removed, all hos
tility will be ended, and the Filipinos
will join rs heartily in putting the gov
eminent in such shape that our troops
can be Withdrawn and our officials
brought home as rapidly as Filipinos
can be selected to take their places. 1t
may take few years. but the progress
will not be slow when our position is
once announced They will need
Americans for counsel and for assist
ance, but those Americans will he vol
lntarily asked for and not forced upon
Them.
This settlement of the Philippine
question is not only in harmony with
our governmental principles, our ma
-ional traditions, mental principles, but
{ is in harmony with our commercial
interests. We can make our harbors
and coaling stations centers for the
spread of American influence in the
orient; we can establish schools there
md open them to the young men of
Asia. These students, learning of our
deals, our good Intentions, and our
of government, will go forth
IS friends of America to spread the
gospel of freedom, and the spread of
American ideas will be followed by an
extension of commerce. In the life If

JUDGE WickERsHAm ON
 TERRITORIAL GOVERNMENT

The following is a verbatim copy of letter written by Judge Wickcrsham To Governor Hoggatt. IL speaks for itself. and needs no comment:
 q regret very much that Waskey and Gale have started off on the mis- taken idea of putting territorial gov ernment ahead of all other things for Alaska. It certainly is a great mistake and one which win cost the territory dearly. You are right in opposing it. and you ought not to hesitate. The population is too sparse and the tax able wealth is tno small to sustain self government. The population is un- settled, and probably out of the six or eight thousand men in this mining camp not hundred of them would ad- mil that they intended to remain in l thc territory for the rest of their lives. nor would one-tenth of them remain | 1T the placer mines were worked out as they are in Dawson and will be here 1 insid" of few years. The real dim- culty in considering this matter Is that SD many do not note the difference be- tween the theory of government and the brutal fact When an argu- ment is started the majority argue strongly in favor of it. and the theory is undoubtedly correct. but when they are pinned down to the fact as to whether or not the time has arrived for the establishment of local self government, most of them hesitate II is my Judgment that a large majority of the people of this district are op- posed to local government. all | though there is no difficulty in soaring mp resolutions in Fourth of July Ian- guage in favor of il. You should pay no attention to such resolutions ex- cept to try to explain to congress and the president that they come from a small number of people with nothing else to do and are simply good naturedly mistaken about what to do. They are generally good citizens. but their theories are a long way ahead of the needs of the country"

VICTIMS OF DRUGS.
Birmingham Omcials Have Another
 Problem to Solve.

BirminKham OmciaIs Have Another Problem to Solve.
 Birmingham, Nov. 2S.-(Special)-- After the grand jury. in session here, had visited the city jail and viewed the ten unfortunate victims of lauda- mum, cocaine and morphine. and had questioned some of the ten persons, three men and seven women, the city released them.
 Two of the women made a direct line for drug stores where they. asked for laudanum, but were refused. Others were followed and were heard begging for funds with which to purchase mor- phine.
 The city authorities called the board of revenue to look at the victims yes- terday and today a request was made on the grand jury to take the matter in hand. The questions put to the un- fortunates were along the lines as to wh ere the drugs were purchased. In all probability there will be a rigid investigation and some drug dealers may be called to account The unfor- tunate victims were all picked up by the police in day or two the chief of police desiring to show to the prop CT authorities the awful condition. 1t is related by some members of the police department that one of the per- sons taken before the city and county auth critics has a daughter who is fast following the steps of her mother.
 The Board of Revenue is considering the establishment of an aims house for these kind of unfortunates.
