done in testing the auiferCus lodes of the Bonnifi Id country, which had caused considerable excitement in Fairbanks during 1909. Prospects continued on quartz properties in the Chandlar district. A small 3-stamp mill was installed on Big Creek and preparations were made for building q mill on Lake Creek. A little de. ye'opment work was done on several properties in this district. Of great importance to the development of this field is the completion of a horse and winter sled trail from the Yukon to Caro. distance of 15 miles. I his trail will not only ben eft the Chandlar, but it is proposed by a branch trail to make the Roy ukuk placer district aCcE ssible also.
 Fairbanks District.
 The estimated value of the gold output of the Fairbanks district in 1910 was S6,10O,OOO; the value in 19U9 was $9.650,0OO. This falling off is due to the facts that many of the richest plaCers have been mined out and that no effective work has been accomplished toward mining the gravels of lesser value. Plans for lredging some of the shallow CT creeks have been made, but nothing very tangible has been accomplished. Meantime many of the most enter prising operators have turned their attention to prospecting auriferOus quartz veins. Here, as in Seward l, ninsula, there are very large bod ies of auriferous gravels whose gold contents is too low to permit it's re- cOvery by the methods now in use.
 There was some scarcity of labor at Fairbanks in the spring, owing to the exodus to the Iditarod, and on some Cf the creeks the water sup ply was inadequate. These condi- tions also affected the gold produc- tion 10 a certain extent.
 It Is estimated that about 130 placer mines were operated in the Fairbanks district during 1910; this is a falling off of over 50 per cent from the average of previous years. As the gCld production has declined only about So per C nt, the output per mine has increased. An aver age of about 1900 men were en- ployed in this production through the year. Among the new develop m nts were the operations on Fish Creek, where little mining had been done previously. The pay streak on Gcldstream Creek was also traced further down stream.
 The most extensive mining, as in 1909, was done on G0ldstream Creek and it's tributaries. Pedro and Gil more creeks Second in importance were the operations on lower Cleary CT elk and on the Chatanika Flats. Fairbanks Creek was also ,he scene of much mining. It is estimated that 20 claims were worked Cn Fair banks Creek. 13 on Ester Creek, s on Fish Creek, and To to b on O her small.r creeks.

,# of years ago [.

of years ago:
 No matter what my friends and supporters say, retire when my present term of office ends. and l shall not serve again. l shall be Sp years old then My country has Te- lied Cn me and it has been kind To me. l. has praised my merits and overlooked my faults. But it may not be willing to d al so generously with my successor and he may need my advice and support; therefore, desire to be alive when h. as. sumes office that | may help him.
 What do you think of that?' ask ed the American of Madero. Made TO smiled.
 "P1rfirio Diaz,' he said, has de Ceived Us with the same story at every presidential election do not believe he is sine. re But this time we will take him aI his word and organize anti-re-eleetiUn clubs.
 But do you think that you will succeed?" asked tn, American.
 We might not succeed the first timo." replied Maiero. but our ell. deavor will be not so much to { ourselves into office as 10 awaken the dormant conscience of the MeXi- cans to their rights as citizens. We will try to prepare them to under stand the responsibilities of Demo cratic government by the people. We cannot go on forever with a die tator follJ wing another dictator and corrupting our political ideals
 He was then asked how he pro. posed 1o teach the Mexican people he advantages of free speech. free press and free ballot, in view ot the fact that he was in possession of none of the three.
 By my book. he answered promptly. T propose to describe ther, in how a pacific agitation can be brought about. We must start by an attempt 10 vote in the muni- cipal elections for conEressmcn, sen ators. goyernOrs and then for presi- lent and viCe-pro sident.'
 Recent events, however, show that Madero has apparently decided that all peaceful propaganda in favor ot free elections is a was Q cf time.
 Soon after his release from prison he managed to slip away from those who were watching him in-o the United States som say that he did it disguised as comm-u MeXi can "peou." or laborer.

Iha events lead ing up to Madtro's revolt and those following it are nct such as to bear out this statement of Diaz, made in an American magazine not long ago.

LONDON. Dec 2f - The most practical and also the most inspiring discussion of the future of aviation appears today from the pen cf Claude Gyahame-White, who confidently af- firms that the year 1911 will witness the actual development of great new industry. The advancement ol rhe aeIoplane, he points out, has Ieen checked by three defects i'll the machines themselves. inability to combat the winds, construcuonal weaknesses, and the unreliability of the engines. These defects, which made aeroplanes mere playthings in their early stages of development, are already being overcome in an al
 o2e her surprising way.
 That they will be overcome and that flying machines will be prac- tical for every day use,' says Ora hame-White, lis my firm conviction. Take flying in winds. With the aeroplanes we had in the beginning it was only possible to ascend whtn the wind was as low as four or five miles an hour. Now l find it quite possible to remain in the air and control the machine in wind of twenty-five miles an hour. From his to ability to fly in even strong CT winds it is merely question Jf greater speed.
 T have become an ardent adVo- cate of high speed flying" continues Mir Grahame-White. Speed gives you power to overcome attacks Of sud den wind gusts, which are the air mems peril. In high speed mono plane. for example, you dash through an adverse gust in the same way
 hat a fast torpedo boat destroyer
 hrusts her way through an opposing wave, For this reason in my cen structional work I shall devote my earnest attention to a high speed ma chine.
 Far greater weight and rigidity of construction are bound to come, and with them will dawn an era of aerial travel at speed of loO miles an hour At such speed 1t Will be possible to pilot machlneg through anything short of an actual be possible to pilot machine which it is my intention to strive
 or constructionally, regular aerial services will become not only possl- ole but profitable.
 The engine problems" says Ora hame-White, "are solving themselves. With the scepticism with which some DerDle always view new ldea II was contended in the infancy of the aeroplane that no petrol motor would stand the strain of propelling an aeroplane because of the necessary lightness and the high speed at which it would have to run. The answer to these critics has been overwhelming. Even while our aero planes, and particularly the prcpel- lers, are admittedly imperfect, there by imposing upon the engine most difficult conditions, flights of three, five and six hours are already evok- ing no particular comment. To a certain extent, indeed, the duration of flight has now become a matter of petrol carrying. l have not the slightest fear. therefore, as to the success of the flying machine en- zine.
 Next there is the question of safe ty. Here l am face to face with | a grave misconception. People gen, erally have come to the conclusion hat flying is highly dangerous and will always remain so. As prac- tical flyer I say there is very little danger in it now, and that in the future there will be no more rlsk

 At present, reckoning expert 1liers and pupils who can pilot machines off the ground. there are estimated to be 5000 airmCn throughout the world.

An alyzing the deaths that have taken place. it is possible to draw prac- tical lesson from each. Thus q set of circumstances which brought about any enc of these fatalities is not likely to occur again.
 'IneXperienCc, fColhariinGss and cOnstructional weakness have been responsible for practically all tn" ac- cidents which have taken place. well trained pilot, and proper wealth CT conditions, flying is already as safe as motoring, and very soon it promis-s to be safer.
 Next summer" says Graname- White, practically for the first time people will be able to enjoy the sensation of air travel. Ready for trials in the spring will be the first type of a machine which one might call an air car. It will be strong ly built monoplane. 100 horse power engine will prcpel it. It will have body like a motor car, with four comfortably padded seats, well protected from the wind. There is no reason why any wealthy motor ist should not purchase such ma chine. He may have an aerial chauf- feur if he does not want to learn to drive himself. and enjoy aeroplaning in a thoroughly practical way.
 'In it's sporting aspect says the aviator T foresee that flying will enjoy even greater vogue than mo- toring. Motor car driving even in its most favorable aspects cannot be compared with flying. There is a sense of ire dom and eXhilaration in passing swiftly through the air that never comes when driving a car. I speak from experience again, having done more than little mo- toring. Directly a more convenient and less bulky machine can be pro duced the public demand fer the aeroplane will begin. l do not see one insurmountable difficulty in the way of completely revolutionizing by means of the aeroplane all existing methods of communication

FEW WILL ADMIT
 KILLING
EVEN OLD SOLDIERS SELDOM DECLARE THEY KNOW
 THEY TOOK A LIFE.

In reference to The charge of the Light Brigade at Ralaklaya, in which he took part. Lord Tre1egar has raised the question of the sol dier's conscience Speaking at all anniversary gathering on Saturday he said: T give myself the pencil, of the doubt that l have no murder on my conscience" says the London Daily Mail He was not certain, he said, whether he killed a man in that charge or not.
 Every man knows that even if he had killed a man in action h would not be guilty of murder. The conscience of the British soldier has apparently the effect of making him extremely reticent on the subject Hardly ever will an old soldier de clare that he has killed a man eX cept in cases where the cling of averaging inhumanity was added to the sense of duty in battle
 When the Canadian Rifles were in England a few weeks ago they had with them veteran of the Ninety-third regiment whom the young llllS HlGu SCuSHl lO uldN olI his fighting exploits. The fur, hest he ever went was to say. I'm not conscious that I ever killed a Rus, sian, and l was in maist O the fights but l wish I had a sovereign for every one I bayoneted in the Mutiny, There we aye thCcht O CaWnpOre. Chelsea pensioners and other sold diers preserved the same attitude when questioned in connection with Lord Tredegar's remark. The Grim can veterans would not go beyond saying, "I suppose I must have kill ed men,"
 An ex-dragoon who went through both the Crimean and the Mutiny campaigns practically repeated the remarks of the Ninety-third veteran. T cannot say that l ever killed anyone in the Chimea, but when we were going to avenge the murder of women and little children at Secun derabad we used nothing but the bayonet We got them against a wall and killed till we had to get coo lies to pull away the dead so that we could get at the living. As we left passed a man lying dead, as l thought, on the grass. l heard a noise and locking back saw that he was sitting up and covering me with his gun. I drove my bayonet so hard that I had to put my foot on him to pull it out. l am an old man and I believe it is wicked. but I still feel thrill when l think Of the way we avenged our country women Nor do I feel that I have a murder on my conscience.
