STAM PEDlNG.

This is the season of the year in various far-away districts are due, and they are just as much to be expected this year as in former ones. There has not been a spring in the Panama yet without it's accom- paniment of turing tales of rich pay streaks over there," and practical ly every one of them has ended in disappointment to nearly everybody but the steamboat owners.
 The follies of stampeding have been theme for many preach ments but in spite of all that can persisted in. When the lurid stories of the strike are received good con- nonsense takes flight, and even the old-timer is prepared to believe any thing he hears. All winter it has been impressed on the world at large that the Iditarod and Kusko- kwim have not turned out as ex- pected, but 1t Is quite likely that some cock-and-bull stories will be re- ceived in the course of the next few weeks which will bring the itch back into many hundreds of feet. This in spite of the fact that ex- perienced miners understand that the lower country has had about as thorough prospecting as any camp in the North ever had.
 been the custom to call such meet there are better chances for pros pecting still left than are to be found in the Iditarod district, and they can be reached without any great outlay of time or money In addition to placer mining there Is the quartz era just opening up, and there are yet many hundreds of veins in the neighboring hills to be located. If the amount of money necessary for a move to the lower river camp Is expended in an out fit for a sojourn in the Panama hills the chances are that 1t will pay far bigger dividend by next fall.
 When the big strike stories com mence to come in consider them carefully, and then-forget them.

Gold Bar stock there is, apparently, a, this time. no way of placing a certain value on i' Captain Bar. nette has stated he is certain the Dexter Horton people will take the stock for s350,oo0, if the indebted ness of the WA. bank can be de duCted therefrom. If this were done there would then be a deficiency of about sl6O.0OO. between the banks assets and its liabilities This would make the deposits. without any guar antee from Barnette, worth about so cents on the dollar The trust deeds have been put up 10 secure the payment of this deficiency, and to the Citizen there appears no good reason to believe at this time that the depositors will not eventually be repaid dollar for dollar.
 To prevent the sacrificing of ac- counts in the meantime by deposi- tors who are driven to such course by necessity. the issue of scrip Cn an absolutely conservative and safe basis Is urged Some of the big gest merchants in the camp have stated they are willing to take the scrip and anxious to see it issued and there Is no doubt that week after it's issue it would be passing everywhere the same as the real currency. Before any steps can be taken. however, there must be a depositors' meeting called.
 In this connection il is recalled that there Is to be a meeting of citizens at the courthouse this even- ing for the purpose of selecting a councilmanic ticket and it is sug gested that after this meeting Is over a good opportunity would be presented for the taking up of the matter Many of the depositors will be present for the first meeting in any case, and it is likely that a larger number could be gotten to- gether in that way than on any other night in the week

GOLD DREDGING PROGRESS.

Dredging attracted much attention in 1910 throughout the world. Money was supplied in London for several undertakings, notably the Oroville in Columbia and the Inambari in Peru
 In Siberia the Orsk Goldfields is a company that is trying, despite many hindrances, to exploit a large tract of rich ground. In West Africa two dredging companies of import ance may be mentioned, operating on the Ankobra and Offin rivers, re- spectively. Driftwood and bad eli mate have proved obstacles, but the gravel is rich enough to warrant further efforts to make money.
 In California the Oroville company has been disappointing venture for the Britisher, and 1t Is not surpris- ing that the issue of Natomas bonds had to be taken by the underwrit- CTS.
 English capital is also being used for dredging in Burma, Servia, Gui- ana, and Tierra del Fuego.
 On the whole, the prejudice against alluvial mining has been overcome lately, chiefly by reason of the splendid output of the Lena gold fields.
 At Nome, Dawson, and in Califor- nia the year was enc of marked achievement. - Scientific and Min ing Press.

Are We to break the tariff wall and still leave il intact at all points? That Is exactly the sort of tarifI re form our standpat friends gave the country in the Payne-Aldrich bill.
 We are still exporters of farm stuffs, have always had to meet the free competition of Canada and every other country In the markets in Europe Meanwhile nearly every thing they brought has been charged with high tariff prices.
 If they are really afraid to meet little Canadian competition at home there Is small show of their getting relief from high-tariff oxac- tions, for the whole tariff game con sists precisely in playing one inter est and one locality against another.
 Help us to protect our steel and we will help you to protect your barley. In this give and take the farmer has given a good dollar and got a plugged nickel. The whole question concerning this treaty is whether farm constituencies - or their representatives in congress- can be induced to keep on playing the game. If they Can-after all the tariff agitation of the last two years it is high time for our standpat friends 10 sit back and laugh.
 The high-protection champions are against the treaty. Is this be- cause they are deeply concerned over the butter.and-egg market in Northern New York? We fear not IL Is because they see this treaty will break the vicious tariff circle With free butter, eggs and barley the granger vote in congress can no longer be counted upon for go per cent duties on woolen goods.

times to the depositors' committee and the members thereof have been informed that as much space as they wanted was at their disposal. When the committee ended It's la bors. two weeks ago last Saturday. the chairman was seen and asked for full report. This report was printed in the Citizen word for word as it was received, and it was signed by all the members of the committee with the exception of Mir. lesson and MT. Noble. who were on the creeks a. the time. When pr. Bradley signed the report she said that it was not sufficiently full and explicit and that at some future time she might want to say something over her own signature If the Citizen would print It. She was assured that there would be space in the Citizen for it but the article has so far been withheld.

GOOD COMMON SENSE.

The people of America, and the world, are outgrowing their servile fear and humble reverence for men in high places. There were times when the common people looked upon a governor or a judge or high up prelate or preacher with fear and trembling. Some of that peas ant instinct is still with us and 1t is not unusual to see otherwise in- dependent and fearless men become sickly fatterers and chicken-livered towards in the presence of some man who holds high place.
 This paper hasn't bit of respect for authority unless that authority

| CHANGE FOR REAL TARIFF
 REFORM.

No member of congress who op- and still calls himself a tariff re- former can be taken seriously. The treaty admits, duty free, some Can adian woodpulp and printing paper, and thereby displeases the trust controlled paper industry in Maine. It admits fish, duty free, and this alarms the fishery masters at Glou- cester, Massachusetts. It gives free trade in grain, butter, eggs and foodstuffs generally; so in certain localities, under certain conditions, American farmers may have to meet some Canadian competition.
