A Defect in Dramatic Critics.

From the New York World.
A youthful playwright whose drama
dealing with race antipathies was recent
ly produced at the New Theater says In
explanation of the fact that he read but
one of the critical notices OF the play:
MY agent called me up Sunday morn
ing and told me not to read them. She
said that the critics, with one exception,
had failed TO understand the play"
Dramatic critics make their living by
understanding plays. In the case of q
drama too subtle for their intelligence
i is interesting to speculate on the
chance OF its being understood by the
general run of theatergoers. Luckily the
superior acuteness of the one critic
caught the message which the others
missed and the public is enabled to UNI
derstand what that message Is.
But in view OF the authors statement
that he said in the p ay exactly what he
meant. how can the failure Of the other
explained away except on the theory that
they are incompetent? For q dramatist
to assume that his work Ia beyond the
comprehension Of critics familiar with
Shakespeare and the classic drama no
less than with Ibsen and Henry Arthur
Jones requires some degree OF self-as-
surance. But the obsession has been
known to exist In authors az regards
managers who neglect to make their ever
asting fortunes by refusing to produce
works of budding dramat c genius, and It
may not .improbahly exist In a young
playwright fresh from college and still
under the spell Of the success of his
maiden effort.

most profitable of all their enterprises
was the lOaning of money to princes, from

them to turn this money over with great
rapidity. In 1911 the FugEer fortune
amounted to 245. 463 forms. For about
a generation after Jacobs death In 1926
the property of the family continued to

gulden. And this balance sheet meant
that. besides paying the expenses of a

Alaska Placer Fields.

The placer fields of Alaska are chiefly
in the Yukon basin and in the Seward
peninsula. where 1t is estimated that
the gravel contains about $500, 00O. 600
worth Of gold. and the largest part of
this will probably be extracted by dredg-
ing. With the dredge gravels of low
grade can be worked, but no soil that
pays less than fifty cents a cubic yard
will tempt the operators in Alaska. be-
cause of the great expense and the short
season. In some cases steam must be
used to thaw out the soil before it can
be worked.
There are few extensive gravel beds
predicted to contain millions of dollars,
but the use of dredges has not been
adopted to any extent in that state.
Montana, Idaho and Oregon also have
placer gold. but the deposits are small
compared with those of California and
Alaska.
The geological survey estimates that
he yield of placer gold In the United
states in 1907 amounted to about $4,000,
100, and believes that this quantity may
be expected for long succession of
years.
The gold-bearing gravels and all the
and other states have long ago passed
into private hands. and in California
nearly all of them have been worked over
once. and in many places twice. by
hydraulic methods. The largest areas
are now planted to orchards and vine
yards, which are purchased by the dredg-
ers at high prices. Only in Alaska are
there any public lands left that promise
profit from placer mining.

Beach Machine Designed.

Acting upon an ingenious suggestion of
Mr. Wood, they adapted the shaking ia
bles," already used in the concentration
of refractory ores, and set up plant at
the Portland exposition as an object les
son. But the beach miners were in
different to it. for several reasons. In
the first place few of them attended the
exposition, and those who saw or heard
of the new machine were ,distrustful be-
cause several miners had been swindled
by worthless patented devices offered by
or overSanguine promoters.
Again, they are accustomed to the use
of quick silver and regard it as abso-
lutely essential therefore, no machine
which does not use 1t appeals to their
notions. And, again, these old-fashioned
miners are always prejudiced against in
novations even when they are recon-
mended by the government.
The most competent authorities insist
that there is an abundant supply of
platinum in the sands along the beaches
of Oregon and Washington. and that
they offer employment with profit for
thousands of men. The sands can be
worked in lots of twenty per mile. and
there are many available miles of beach
At the, same time, it will sooner or lat r
be necessary for some ingenious inventor
to produce "a machine or a process by
which the work can be done more rapidly
and easily than in the old-fashioned
hand methods.
