GOT WISED Up
At LAST MOMENT

A correspondent OF the Nome Indus
trial Worker of March 30, two days
before the city election said: II want
now to call your attention and that of
the voters of Nome to the news just
out that 'Gilmore-at present mayor
is about to bs nominated for delegate
to congress by the standpat Republi-
cans at the Cordova convention. Let
them all think what this means, and
see if they can get the hang of the
frameup which condemned Gil to eat
a big pile Of standpat crow before he
made his peace. Why don't he come
cut and call his ticket the Standpat
Republican ticket right away and not
be fooling US with the Peoples ticket,
as him and his fellow candidates call
themselves. Also I notice Doc Sloan,
the prog1 essive health officer has been
appointed marine doctor. Is this more
of the arrangement?
@Why can't Gilmore and his bunch
come out squarely and say where
they are at and tell the people that
they have refor med and are forgiven
by them that want to CONTROL Seward
Peninsula: [ bet a dollar that if there
are invitations given TO Crater Lake
aekt summer Gil won't be left out in
the cold same as last year."

MINING GOLD
IN PHILIPPINES

We are just beginning 10 discover
the mineral wealth of the Philip
pines. The bureau OF science at
Manila has had mining engineers
and Eetallurgisls looking up the
possibilities and mapping The coun-
try. They say that the islands hold
districts which are rich in gold,
copper and iron, and they have
recently discovered extensive TN
dergrourd gold workings which
were made by the Igolrotes, The
openings Of these were SO small
that a mAn of good size could
hardly get i'll, but further on, whe1
the mineral WAS reached, large
rooms had been excavated and tons
of gold ore taken out This ore
was crushed in rock mills, many
of which are stall to be seen, and
the gold was then panned and
melted into baqs. 1t is said that
the islands have been yielding gold
as far back as the third century
A D and during the last 200
Yeas there have been numerous
mines operated by the natives,
Spania. DIS, Euglishmen and Ame1i-
cans
The Spaniards and the English
men were not allowed to work iii
the Mountain Province, on account
of the Igo?rotes and other head
hunters, but since the Americans
came miners have scattered owe r
The country and some o; them are
now holding and developing prop
critics which were located some
years ago.
One OF the best districts is near
| BaguiO, where is now the Summer
capital OF the Philippines. There is
one company there which has s.
claims, in which are rs veins
of gold. These veins range from
one TO 20 feel in width, and soms
/ can be traced for two miles along
the surface. One company has the
ore developed for 800 feet below
The grass roots and has blocked out
a half million tons of o:e. In some
of the mills they are crashing The
ore and taking it out on amalgaina-
zion plates. III others the ore is
treated with cyanide The above
/ infoI nation comes from Frank G
| Eddihgfeld, who is mining en-.
gineer of the bureau of science.
Another mining district which is
now being eK plotted is in the little
island, OF Masbate This was also
worked by the hinese, and it has
three companies working in il
today Some of the veins average
$I4 per ton and it is gotten out
with air drills
They are mining gold on the
eastern coast of Luzon, about I5C
miles from Manila This region is
! an old one and much of the output
comes from placer mines. There is

the gold is washed down FROM the
