AERONAUTlCS.

A British AeropIane Gun. Ex- periments with a quick firing gun in an aeroplane were made by the Royal Flying Corps at Farnborough, on July 9. The test was made i2 q stiff breeze at height of about 400 feet. Some 20 rounds of ammu, milton were fired at imaginary ob- jects on the plain directly ber cath the aeroplane. The recoil is said to have had but little effect upon the steadiness of the machine. A biplane was used, built in the army factory. It was especially strength, ened iI order to carry the weight of the gun and ammunition.

WHY ROSE TALKED.

The true story of what drove Jack Rose to the confession that put Lieutenant Becker in the Tombs charged with the murder of Herman Rosenthal is told here It was the reply. whispered to him in the coun- sel room of the Tombs. to the third message he had sent to police off cial asking whether he could rely on Beckers promise of protection.
 This was the answer to his final appeal:
 The best thing you can do is to kill yourself"
 That advice sent to Rose one week after he had surrendered himself, was plain intimation that he was to be left to shift for himself So Rose, who had been hoping against hope, agreed then to the persuasions of his lawyer, James M. Sullivan, and sent Sullivan to District Attorney Whitman. The district attorney knows the name of the police official upon whom Lieutenant Becker and Rose had been relying This mans name is known to Whitman. to Roses law yer, Sullivan, and to Max D. Steuer, counsel for Bridgey Webber.

cement having arrived There is the ten-stamp mill in Cinema. and the two local mills in town The mill import ed into the country by Dr. Suther- land for use in the Kantishna will probably remain in the camp as it Is now too late to take it to the place the owners desired, and a new one could be obtained on the first boats From present indications it will go to Fairbanks creek to be installed on MT. McDougars property there Four years ago if you had foretold what this winter would bring forth you would have been hailed as a dreamer to say the least. And four years from now as you look back upon the work of the prospeCtors and miners for the season of 1912 you will have to admit that their contention at that time was true You, with the rest of the residents of the camp, will be rejoicing over the fact that it has been proven that FAIRBANKS HAS QUARTZ!
 THE LUMBER CONSUMED so FAR
 The quartz mines to date have used about $50. .000 feet of lumber according to the report of the local mills. We received our reports from all three companies. totaled them and the figures aforementioned arc about the amount of lumber that has been taken over for use in the construction of mills and other places essential. Rough lumber now brings $40 a thousand feet. At that rate the money expended for lumber in the developing of those mines which have mills, and for the construction of those mills is in the neiehbor- hood of s26.000. Now if you will but stop to consider that less than one months run at the Rhoads Hall mine would more than pay for all the lumber that has been used in the four years of active quartz de- velopment that Fairbanks has known, you must admit that FAIRBANKS HAS QUARTZ!
 The creeks that are cut by the mineral zone in which the quartz is found have produced over s50,000, GOO in placer gold. Experience has proven that quartz operations al most invariably follow those of the placer miner, the value of hard rock found usually being proportionate to the richness of the placer workings. Even without the discovery of the extremely rich lodges uncovered it would hardly be reasonable to sup pose that the development of this dis trict would be in direct antithesis to that of all other mining coun- tries, but the fact that this great Zohe HdS DceH lounu to tolltalh So many rich lodges, the fact that every hard rock man admits that the quartz uncovered is of the highest grade imaginable, the fact that there are still vast ledges to be uncovered. the fact that even if they are but prospects, the mines have enough in sight for years to come should con vince the most skeptical that FAIR BANKS HAS QUARTZ THAT IS

The First Theft of an AeropIane.-

The First Theft of an Aeroplane.- The first case of stealing an aero plane occurred not long ago at the Puchem aerodome at Munich. When the pilot, Belat. arrived in the morn iGg he found that some one had broken into his hangar and that the monoplane Was missing. On inquiry he found that several persons in the neiehborhood had heard the noise of motor about o'clock in the morning. Apparently some enterpris ing pilot had flown away with the machine. In the suburbs of Munich policemen were kept busy scanning the horizon in search of the flyer Up to the present writing the ma chine had not been recovered.

IS THIS TOO MUCH?

By the first day of the new year. if the plans do not miscarry, there will be in operation around this quartz center about forty-seven stamps. Now supposing that these stamps should operate on an aver age of ten hours day throughout the year. Supposing that in those ten hours each stamp crushed five tons of ore. Supposing that the ore should average about twenty-five dol lars ton. then the income of this quartz camp would be s5.S75 a day. or $2144.375 year. And this with ore that would average but twenty five dollars a ton. That. while fine ore on the Outside, is no more than a fair average for the extremely rich rock that is found here at this time.

 Men in all walks of life do not throw away money for the fun of seeing it sink in the ground and lie buried never to come to life again They do put their hard earned money into those properties which they think will develop into something permanent, something that will event ually astonish the pessimist and the "knocker, and prove to the world the fact that FAIRBANKS HAS QUARTZ.

Wireless Distress Calls Not to Go

"ireIeSS OlStreSS Calls Not to Go Unheard. One of the most note worthy steps taken during the h ternational Radio-telegraph Confer ence which opened in London June and closed July 5, is the layin, down of a practical rule for attend ance on the wireless apparatus on shipboard. It will be recalled hat the Titanic's distress signals wet unheard by vessels in the immediate vicinity because the single operator employed on those ships was off duty at the time. Under the Confer ence rule, a permanent watch is re- quired on ships of the first class which means that two operators must be employed, and on ships of the seco~d class. employing only one operator, the receiving apparatus must be attended during the first ten minutes of each hour. In order to allow the operator to have his rest unbroken when off duty. this provision will probably mean that one of the crew trained to receive the distress signal, will be required to listen during the te- minutes be- ginning each hour.

AN UNHEARD OF THING.

One of the most encouraging fea- the fact that to date quartz has paid for it's own development. Outside capital has not yet entered the field to any great extent. The richest mine in the district the Rhoads- Hall property on Bedrock creek has paid for it's own expansion. After he had satisfied himself from the pannings he got from float on the slope from Bedrock hill that a ledge existed in the immediate vicinity, MT. Rhoads started to work system atically at tracing. When he found unmstakable leads between walls in a shaft he recorded his claim and turned in alone, absolutely without backing. to develop it. Single-handed he drove an almost incredible amount of tunnel and succeeded in taking out sufficient high grade ore to keep going. About year after he had opened his prospect. Louis Rhoads was able to put men to work. To- day he is operating five-stamp mill. His average returns from this mill are in the neighborhood of one thousand dollars for each and every day his stamps fall the full time
 His undreamed of success, his great persistence, and his unfailing be-
 lief that this is a permanent quartz camp are some of the best arguments

that FAIRBANKS HAS QUARTZ!
 A GENERAL THING.


 While it may be argued that the Rhoads-Hall property is far above the average mine of the country. it must be borne in mind that it is the farthest advanced, because Mr Rhoads fOresaw the possibilities of hard rock when few had any faith in it. Still, there are other mines, while they are not now producing the amount of ore or the rich ore that Rhoads has. are far ahead of what on the Outside are considered extremely rich mines. The Spald- ing property at the head of Dome creek is using a mill constructed en- tirely in this country. This product of the Samson Hardware company is a three-stamp rock crusher. Less than month ago this little mill crushed out $2,200 worth of gold in four days. So great is the faith of the veteran prOspector in his prop erty that he is now shipping a two stamp Nissen mill for his mine Here is still another case of quartz pros pector starting with practically noth- ing, and making his mine pay for itself as he went along.
 Time and time again men have dis continued work on their claims and hired out for wages in order to get sufficient money to continue work on their tunnel or shaft Surely then of the opinion that FAIRBANKS HAS QUARTZ! A man would not work for wages. and sink the re- suits of his labor into a tunnel or shaft if he did not have faith in his ground. That much more tun- neling than shafting has been done can likewise be attributed to the lack of proper means to develop the prospects. Work in the tunnel can be more easily performed by one man than the work of sinking a shaft. Had there been more money invested in quartz. the chances are that the many prospects would have gained greater depth than they have today. The individual worker has been forced to content himself with tunnels and crosscuts in many cases gaining little cover" where the same amount of energy expanded in a shaft would have much sooner dem- onstrated the value of the prospect
 THE MILLS WE KNOW OF.
 There are two mills on Fairbanks creek now. On Cleary- -Eldorado di- vide, or in that immediate vicinity. there will be seven mills operating this winter. On Dome Captain Spalding will run. Ester creek will find the mill owned by the Hudson Brothers in operation. the oft-delayed

THE WEB WOVEN
 AROUND BECKER

The latest developments in the Hosenthal case and the graft cases brought out by the cold-blooded mur- der of the gambler prove conclusive ly that Charles Becker is one of the shrewdest criminals that ever lived His methods of covering up his tracks, his manner of depositing his ill-earned money in savings banks would have safe-guarded him from all suspicion had not the greatest detectives in the world trailed his every move increasingly. It has been brought out that it was Beck CT who took Lawyer John w. Hart and Notary Public Richard G. Bar. ter to call on Jack Rose at Harry Pollock's house on Riverside Drive This the brazen police lieutenant did the Wednesday night following the murder. It was Becker who hired and paid thr notary. It was Becker who gave instructions as to the affidavts to be secured not only from Rose. but from Harry Pollock Pollock. at Rockers request. was to have backed up Bald Jack Roses statement that Becker was not erafter. but Pollock, suspecting that Rose and Becker were mixed up in worse crime than grating. kept away from his home that night
 Becker made deposits of his graft money under different names not only in many of the savings banks in New York City, but in Elizabeth, N. J.. Newark. N. J. and even as far as Rochester, N Y. Becker 1t has been shown collected hush money monthly from 15 disorderly houses and G. gambling joints Beck CTS share of the graft collected as far as can be ascertained to date amounted to about $62 900 a year.

Strange Theory.

A strong and eloquent plea for a
deeper study Of the unusual child,
rather than the defective child, was
the burden Of an address delivered
last night at the Eks theatre before
a large audience. The speaker was
Dan d. +. Phillips, head Of the de-
partment Of philosophy and educa-
ton at the University of Denver.
The audience was composed largely
Of educators, the occasion being one
Of the meetings Of the State Educa-
tional Association now in session here.
Dean Phillips address opens up u
phase Of the educational question
strongly in contrast to the present
trend Of the educational idea, in
that it urged special attention for
the budding genius, the child which
shows possibilities of greatness,
rather than for the defective, for
which class present days school men
and women are now doing all in
their power. 1t was the old cry of
survival of the fittest, only Dean
Phillips phrased it differently. He
said that it was better to develop the
great ones, those who would ulti.
mately be of most benefit to society,
rather than to strive to bring the
defective ones UP to the normal.
Leaders were what the world want
ed, he declared, and not an add.
