MILLIONS OF GOLD IN ALASKA.

BENZ. B. Hampton has q second ar
ticle on Alaska in the May issue of
Hampton's Magazine in which he dis
cusses the details of Alaska's wealth.
Speaking of gold he says that the
greatest development. is yet to come.
E"The authorities agree that in all
probability the greatest gold wealth of
Alaska is yet to be discovered and de-
veloped. When the rounded-out his
tory of Alaska gold mining is written,
we will think of the places as merely

from the lodes. Up to thiS time there
has been no important lode mining in
Alaska, save only in the Treadwell
mines on Douglas Island. in the ex-
IRENE southeastern part Of the terri

PENSIONS AND WAGES.

| Announcement came from New York
! city the other day that the United
| States Steel corporation had establish
ed a fund of $4,000, coo for the purpose
of pensioning its superannuated EN-
ployes. 1t is to be consolidated with
the 100000 fund heretofore created
for the same purpose by Andrew Car
negie. With $12,0oo,00O fund to start
off on an adequate pension system
which will be of inestimable benefit to
many of the employees of this great cor
poration can be set up. 1t speaks well
for the generosity of the directors of
this company and their disposition TO
do the right thing by the men whose
labor is so essential to its welfare.
Unfortunately, though, there is an
other side to the picture. In the news
dispatches of not long ago there was a
little eight line item from Washington
that probably did not attract very
much attention. as it was not displayed
to any particular extent in the news
papers. 1t read: The report of the bu-
reau of labor upon the conditions at
the Bethlehem Steel works of South
Bethlehem, Pa, which was submitted
to the senate today, says that 1929 men
work IL hours a day for seven days a
week, large percentage of these la
borers earning only 1212 cents an hour.
1t is not known if the Bethlehem
Steel works is managed independently
of the United States Steel corporation,
or not. The chances are it is in the
trust. But it is most reasonable to as
ST lie that the Bethlehem Steel works
pays the prevailing rate of wages in
the steel trade, and that there are
many men working directly under the
United States Steel corporation under
the same conditions and for the same
wages as the 1000 in. question in the
Bethlehem plant. Perhaps their labor
is worth no more than 1871 cents an
hour. If it isn't, though, it is the poor
est grade of labor in this country. But
this much ought to be conceded, any
how. Such Iaborers should not be COM
PEELED to work II hours a day for seven
days week in order to hold their jobs.
The steel trust and other large cor
porations are doing no more than right
in establishing pension systems and
they are getting the applause of the
multitude for so doing. But corpora
ton which sets aside millions of
dollars for pensions and then keeps
thousands of it's men working
twelve long hours each day for
seven long days in the week and for
wage of 121a cents an hour. appears to
be devoting its energies and it's surplus
monies in the wrong direction. AS
suredly such killing hours of labor for
a wage that must mean a ceaseless
struggle to keep body and soul to-
gether, and especially if family must
be supported out of it. will result in

HOW TO KILL FLIES.

Presumably, all people of sense are

in the fight against the pesky critters.

The Earth,s Age.

And now we are treated to another
estimate of the earth's age; not that
there is anything surprising in this for
science is continually dealing with, the
alleged problem. Those who take, the
Bible literally look on it as a historical
account of the earth's creation, and are
content to place that event at a period
about 5000 years ago. AS a general
to such authority, and endeavor in
various ways to estimate the earth's
age. AS they have no certain data
upon which to build their theories, it
follows that they differ by thousands
and millions of years in their estimates.
The consequence is that said estimates
cannot have much weight with laymen.
One of the latest of these guesses-
for they are little more-comes from
Chicago college publication of recent
date. The author is not at all modest,
for he puts the earth's age at 400, 900, 900
years. This, as all must admit, is going
back quite a long ways to find the be-
ginning, and lays over" anything We
remember to have seen in this line.
Plainly the originator OF that estimate
has no mind to be circHmscribed in the
way of dates, and has apparently en-
deavored to put the beginning at a
period SO remote that no one will try
to go back of him. Four hundred mil
lion years is what we may we'll call
long time, and the man who outdoes
this authority may have to deal in bill
lions of years, instead of millions.
But the manner in which this latest
ffxer of dates arrives at the conclusion
he does can but strike the average
mind as profoundly ridiculous. to put
it plainly. The date is determined, we
are told. "by dividing the amount of
salt in the sea by the amount brought

it is impossible to estimate the amount
of salt in the sea, for the simple reason
that no one can as yet form anything
even approaching fair estimate of the
quantity of water contained in the
oceans and salt water seas. No one
can ascertain the area of these waters,
because to do SO would require that all
