passed off the political stage, John +.
Jones, Nevada member of the United
States senate for 80 years, beginning

champions of bimetallism in this
country. His desertion of the Repub-

About year after the 1896 presi-

yer dollar was really the standard,
and the ratio between gold and sill
yer was strongly in favor OF
silver. Two factors have served to
bring about the present change. One
Is the discovery of a process by
which very low grade gold ore can
be profitably worked, and the other
is the vast development of gold min

Sir Henry asked. But almost before

Jones' Prophecy Fulfilled

sir, Is significant of what is in store
for Alaska No experienced prospec-
tor could be found who would say
that a gold mine like this one near
Sitka is merely an isolated outcrop-
ping of gold. No, sir. 1t indicates
the presence Of vast and rich de-
posits of gold somewhere, although
the outcroppings may not be found
within a hundred or several hundred

southerly through the entire Rocky

WINGED of 1t. In my opinion, the

most probably in the very near fu-
ture, is to be revealed as one of the
richest gold bearing regions in the

vanced years personally to visit and

There are younger men who will at

to hear any day of rich gold discov-
cries made by some of them. Then
will follow gradual but certain ex-
ploration until, at last, the mother

all this-because my miners training
