likewise staked. Little faith was had

bought half share In one claim on 1t

later he paid eight hundred dollars for
the adjoining claim. Three months
later, enlarging this block Of property,
he paid forty thousand for third

of all the creeks. ',i 2 ?"
In the meantime, and from the day
he washed seven hundred dollars from
a single pan, and squatted over it and
thought long thought, he never again
touched hand to pick and shovel. AS
he said to Joe Ladue the night OF that
wonderful washing:

he had ridden 1t far and away beyond

held the value in claims that he held.
And, Furthermore, he was still riding

daring.
Back in Dawson. though he remained
true to his word and never touched
hand to pick and shovel, he worked as
hard as ever In his life He had a
thousand irons in the fire, and they
kept him busy Heavy as were his
expenses, he won more heavily. He
took lays, bought half shares, shared
with the men he grub-staked, and made
personal locations. Day and night his

That Congress has at last awakened
to the Importance OF aerial navigation
as a part of modern warfare is indicat-
ed by the report that the bill introduce
ed by Representative HNrdwick, OF
Georgia, whereby the efficiency of the
aviation service OF the army will be
increased, is likely to be passed with
ont opposition.
France, Great Britain, Germany
and Russia are all ahead OF the United
States in the aviation phase of mill
tary preparations. The foreign ma
lions long ago realized that success or
failure Of a great engagement might
depend upon the aerial equipment Of
the contending armies.
Foreign countyies not only work to
bring their aerial fleets up to a high
point of efficiency, but recognize the
value of the services of the men en-.
gagged in the work Of perrecting the
science for army purposcs. This coun.
try should not remain in the rear Of
progress any longer. 1t is time for the
United States to enlarge its service,
and give more adequate compensation

for the government in these times of

WASHINGTON. Mar. 21.-Enough potash to supply the United States for the next thirty years has been found by government scientists at Searles Lake. san Bernardino coun- W, California. Estimates of the field by surveyors is that the sup ply probably will reach four million tons. but authorities here believe that estimate conservative, and that the supply will amount to more than ten million tons. The great value of the find is that the potash is now in commercial form and ready for the market. II. :. Gale. of the geological survey, and F. $ Free of the bureau of soils, recently took six samples of the potash to the Mackay school of mines. Reno. Nev. where it's value was revealed. The lake is dried up. but for thousands of years moisture has been supplied by the surrounding hills.

 WASHINGTON. March 2l. - The democratic wool tariff revision bill levying twenty per cent ad valoren duty on raw wool, introduced today by Representative Underwood will b6 reported tomorrow to avoid caucus and thereby dodge trouble with advo- cates of free wool. The measure is identical with that passed by the house last summer. Regular repub- licaus contend the president will find an excuse for vetoing the bill on the ground it does not adequately protect the revenues. The introduction oi the bill vetoed by Taft with the elim ination of senate amendments will be used by democrats as the basis oi an arrdignment of the tariff board In the report on the bill being writ ten by Underwood an effort will be made to show the boards failure to report on wool is useless.
