And. gazing Town on the smoky In
ferno Of crude effort, Daylight outlined
the new game he would play, a game
In which the Guggenhammers and the
rest would have to reckon with him.
But along with the delight In the new
conception came a WEAKNESS. He was
tired Of the long Arctic years, and he
was curious about the Outside-the
great world OF which he had heard
other men talk and OF which he was
az ignorant as a child. There were
games out there to play. 1t was a
larger table, and there was no reason
why he with his millions should not
sit II and take 4 hand. So 1t was,
that afternoon on Skookum Hill, that
he resolved to play this last best KIon-
dixie hand and pull for the Outside. 1t
took time. however. He put trusted
agents to work IN the heels of great
experts, and on the creeks where they
began to buy he likewise bought.
Wherever they tried to corner a
worked-out creek. they found him
standing in the way. owning blocks OF
claims or artfully scattered claims
that put all their plans to naught.
Followed wars, ~truces, compromises,
victories, and defeats BY 1898, sixty
thousand men were on the Klondike,
and all their fortunes and affairs
rocked back and forth and were az
fected By the battles Daylight fought.

and winning, lercely winning. Pos
sibly the seyerest struggle was waged
on Ophir, the yerieat OF moose-pas-
lures, whose low-grade dirt. was yalu-
able only because OF its v~astness. The
ownership of q block OF seven claims
In the heart OF it gave Daylight his
grip, and they could not come to terms.
The Guggenhammer experts conclud-
ed that 1t was too big for him to
handle, and when they gave him an
ultimatum to that effect he accepted
and bought them out. The plan was
his own, but he ent down to the
States for competent engineers to car-
ry 1t out. In the RinkabilIy water
shed, eighty miles away, he built his
reservoir and for eighty miles the
huge wooden conduit carried the wa
ter across country to 0phir. Esti-
mated at three millions, the reservoir
and conduit cost nearer four. Nor
did he stop with this. Electric power
plants were installed, and his work
ings were lighted as well as run by
electricity. Other sourdoughs who

and in others would justify an elaborate
series of experiments These experiments
could be usefully undertaken at the sta
lions under the control Of the Agricultural
department.
An explanation given for the excitation
of vegetation by these high tension cur
rents is that high-frequency electrical dis
charges favorably affect the deposit of the
nitrogen in the atmosphere into the soil,
upon which deposit vegetation so largely
subsists.
Whatever prevents disease and ensures
health contributes not only to mans hap
plness, but also to his efficiency, and it
appears that the electric current is to play
a very import part in this field.

ATLANTA. Ca, March 1.-THE principal
address before the southern Commercial
congress today was delivered by George
Westinghouse, founder and former chief
OF the Westinghouse company Of Pittsburg
His subject was Electricity in the Devel-
opment of the South" In part. he said:
Notwithstanding our familiarity with the
~ csent uses OF electricity, few OF us really
compTehend how universal and funda
mental is the part which electricity is de-
stined to assume in the lfe Of future gener-
ations Nothing else can convey. distribute
and Apply power in a way which compares
with electricity From one dynamo can be
taken the power OF operating the telephone
and the telegraph the power for lighting,
tho power for operating street cars and
railroad trains, the power for operating
mills and factories and mines. the power
for electro chemistry. the power for heat
ing Electricity is a universal means OF
applying rower for doing the physical work
Of the world. II is effective not only in
the application, but in the production Of
power Less coal is required for produc-
ing electric power on a large scale than Is
required when many individual engines
OF smaller size are used. Water powers
which otherwise would be unavailable are
made useful for supplying power to distant
cities, and even mill located at a water
power will give better service when 1t uses
the electric drive. Electricity affords a
simpler, better way OF doing things with
which we are familiar, and II also makes
possible neH methods and new develop
ments which. without II. would be impos-
sible.
With electric power the mill can draw

The south abounds in coal and iron as
well as other metals, which can be cheaply
mined. Owing to the presence of impur-
tiles in the iron ore, especially phosphorus,
the pig irons produced in the south have
not been considered so suitable for steel
manufacture as those made from the purer
ores Of the north. The electric furnaces
for refining steel, which have been recently
developed and quite extensively used, will
make available the irsn resources of che
south in the production of the high grades
of Steel and 1t is no stretch of imagina-
ton to forsee that the south will become
a large producer of the raw material and
