BIG RETURNS
 FROM 95 T0NS

Says the Fairbanks Citizen: Al. though the amalgam from the clean up of the stamps of the Chena mill had not been retorted at the time of going to press the indications are that at least 1 1.OO0 ounces of gold, or Sl6.OOO. will be the return from the g5 tons of ore from the Rhoads & Hall claim on Bedrock creek. This estimate may be found to be too conservative. as there will be at least l I.SOO ounces of amalgam. and, judging by past experiments this, al ter being retorted, should give a much greater percentage of gold than l ,OOO ounces. But even if no more than Sl6,OOO is the result of the cleanup this will mean that the ore has gone nearly S17O to the ton, a most remarkable showing.
 The cleanup of the second bat tery was not made until a late hour yesterday evening and since that time the retortug of the amalgam has been in progress at the min. MT. Rhoads being anxious to get it fin- ished so that he can catch the morn ing train.

The consignment of quartz from Che property of the Panama Quartz G Hydraulic Mining company which was put through the test mill dur ing the past week, has shown an average value in round figures of SaS to the ton. the three tons run through the mill yielding a brick valued at $ll5.
 The claim from which the rock was taken is known as the Wy oming. and is one of a group which adioins the Rhoads property on Bedrock creek The ledge, how ever. from which this ore came is not a continuation of the Rhoads ledge. although the latter vein probably passes through some of the property belonging to the company.

president TAFT has proved to
j the satisfaction of official Wash
ington that he can lead the strenu-
Gus life, even if he does not wade
through Rock creek every rainy Sat
urday afternoon and make 9O-mlle
horseback rides to show his physical
fitness.
During the past winter the president
has gone through a program, official
and social, that would have left many
a younger man gasping for breath. In
spite of it all the president today
looks as If he were in the best of
health, a bit pale from lack of golf
and plenty of outdoor exercise. but
still in good trim.
Anyone who thinks the president
has an easy time should remember
his daily schedule. He Is up before
seven o'clock, and with his physical
director. DR.. Barker, he does some
stunts which serve to give him an
appetite for breakfast.
Mr.. Taft leaves the executive man
sion for his Office shortly after nine
o'clock, and from the time he arrives
until 100 or 2 o'clock, he is constant
ly with the cabinet or with callers.
Many a day he shakes hands with

in America, has expressed his APP
prevail of tuberculosis day, which is
to be observed by the churches of the
United States on or about April 80,
and of the general organized anti-tu-
berculosis campaign, according to a
report Of an interview made public by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis.
The interview was granted by his
eminence to II. Writ Steele, executive
secretary of the Maryland Associa-
ton for the Prevention and Relief Of
tuberculosis, and DR.. Charles O'Dono,
van, one of the leading physicians Of
Baltimore. The Cardinal expressed
his entire sympathy with the plan of
the tuberculosis day movement and
Endorsed the program both Of the

WHILE resting in Georgia, President
w Taft gave considerable attention
to certain portions of his message to
congress. He went to the south sole
ly for rest, but reciprocity, the Mex
car war, and other questions OF
state would not down. There will
probably be three important mes
sages to the extra session of congress.
AT least hat is the present expecta-
ton Of the executive. One will deal
solely with reciprocity, another with
tariff revision and a third with the
Mexican war.
The war message will come in connec-
ton with the request for an appropri-
alton to meet the expenses of the ma
neuvers." There will be a deficiency
in the allowance for army mobiliza-
ton. This must be made up by con-
gress, and in asking for the one, or
five, or ten million dollars with which
to meet this expense, the president
will outline the reason for the army
movement. Already an inquiry by
congress Is scented in this connection.

leo collapses and the troops be re-

Work Planned for the Extra Session

turned to their posts, congress will
want to know the reason why they
were assembled.
If President Taft believes that the
Democrats in the present congress
are going to pass the reciprocity bill
to carry out the Canadian agreement
and then go home inc wait for the
regular session of congress In Deem
Der before they do anything, he is
very much mistaken.
The Democrats declare their .nten-
ton of keeping faith with the presi-
dem and passing his reciprocity meas
ure just as quick as possible, but they
are not going to stop there. There
was no understanding with the presi.
dent prior to the calling of the e1-
ira session as to what legislation
should be attempted beyond the car
rying out Of the reciprocity compact.
Messrs. Clark and Underwood told
the president that it was their pur-
pose to revise the tariff. 1t is stated
that the president thoroughly under
stood the situation, and for this reason
the reports which emanated from At
lanta that the president expects the
congress to pass reciprocity and then
go home are discounted.

Dreadnoughts Showing Marked Advance

overheard and the type which she
embodied "a revealed, there was a
hurried busting off of the pigeon
holed plan and a clamor for appro-
priations wherewith to build the
ships.
The main battery of the new ships
will consist Of ten 14-inch guns, while
the secondary battery will have over
a score of five-inch weapons. The
guns of the secondary battery are in
tended for repelling torpedo attack.
These guns have a range of five miles
and an extreme rapidity of fire, each
being capable of firing Is shells a
minute. With 1S available for a
~broadside that would mean a rain Of
$50 shells a minute, which could be
concentrated on any attacking f1otilla
While it is inconceivable that any
fotilla would have the hardihood to
make a daylight attack on n vessel
of this type, yet it is interesting to
calculate the volume of fire that
could be directed against attack by a
dreadnought of the New York type.
Suppose that the destroyers of an at
lacking fotilla had a speed of 80
knots. They would then be able to
traverse the five-mile danger zone"
in the space of ten minutes. But in
that lurid ten minutes the guns of the
dreadnought would be able to hurl
1,SO0 shells at her foes.

w ASHINGTON.-Uncle Sam has
w more gold in his possession to-
day than he has ever had before in
his life. Treasurer Lee McClung
looked over his balance sheet recent
ly and found the government had
more than $1,000, O0O,O 900 in gold coin,
to say nothing of $126, O00, 900 in bull
lion. Never before in the history Of
the government has it had so much
gold piled up in it's Golfers.
Not only is his a record-breaking
amount for the government to have,
but there is more gold in the treasury
now than in the vaults of Great Brit
ain and France combined, or of Great
Britain n Russia combined.
In other words, this government
has more gold, in gold coin and bull
lion, than any other two nations.
This vast golden hoard represents
the accumulation Of a long series of
years. 1t is not ascribed to any par,
ticular financial development Of re-
ent occurrence. By nc means is all
this gold coin and bullion stored in
Washington. Any burglarious gentle
man who thinks he can tunnel under
the treasury and find all this gold in
that institution is in error. The gold

Gals about important matters.
After luncheon the president usu-

for a walk Of several miles through

more callers and frequently does not
get into the White House until close
to eight o'clock-the hour for din
ner.
Although Mr.. Taft probably likes
home life as well as any other Amer.
lean, he has accepted far more invi.

cessor. The president has almost
completely forgotten a custom follow.

president and members of the cabinet.

c%eptions or balls given in honor OF
his daughter, Helen, a debutante OF
this season. He has ais lent his
presence at many other functions OF
the season at the homes of friends and
at several public affairs. In addition
to all this social activity the presi-
dent has consented to make dozens OF
speeches and to attend many ban.

have met here in the winter months.
