and not to join in the mad race which. in the words of Sir Edwin Grey. foreign minister, must lead to the ultimate destruction of civiliza- tion-the race to possess the greatest military and naval armaments, let Europe expend, if it will, one-half of it's revenue upon armaments. We want nothing of the kind on this continent. I believe in regard to na- tons it is as true as in regard to in dividuals-that all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. That certainly has been the cXperi- ence of nations from the times of the Hittites down to date"
 The output of gold for the Yukon territory has probably reached the lowest figure for many years. The installation of large plants has pre- vented mining and reduced the out put pending completion. Many of these works are now ready to operate at full capacity. and the output will
 undoubtedly jump up this year and continue to increase year by year for many years to come.
 For the first time in the history of the territory very serious at tempt is being made to develop it's quartz mining resources. Heretofore the men of means devoted themselves to placer mining. AS consequence no great development took place in quartz mining, but now large sums are being expended on development work with what I expect will be most satisfactory results"
