THE DISCOVERIES.

The most interesting of all the :oa- lures of Alaska life and history are the experiences of the discoverers of new camps and the manner in which they have found the pay that after ward brought population to new reg ions and brought about the building of cites in the wilderness. The stories of the hardships of men who go far from the haunts of their kind and w6aru hhass "tnfiihHge rgi fhk9gdilRts IT wPPfht! wPfht! ten by some person who had the req gift and felt the real thing. People who come later may undergo cer- tain aomunt of difficulties and tell oi the extremities to which they were reduced by the absence of sugar or condensed milk from their outfits. bu, they seldom pause to think of those who lived off the country" and lived pretty slim at that. They seldom re- member what IL Is to be away from ones kind for months and maybe years at time. They never consid CT the fact that the men who came first made 1t really easy for them by comparison.
 Many of us have packed our blank cts on our backs and climbed the pass and lived on beans and bacon, and slept on top of the snow. and did many other things that old LuculIus might turn his nose up at, but we have always had lots of the company that is said to make Hades tolerable, and We always had the trail well marked and the way open for retreat if retreat became necessary.
 Some of the old discoyerers are still with us and will be for many years, but few have already gone over the great divide to the place where the floors are said to be quartz with the free gold visible all over to the naked eye. Only about a year and a half ago the discoverer of the Copper mountain hit the last long trail. As he left Seattle for the hospital at san Francisco a small knot of old timers stood by. Every man present but himself knew that death was uponI him. but they only bid him au revoir. and he passed away as quietly as il he had only been an ordinary indivi- ual who had never given a thing to the world.
 Fritz Miller. the discoverer of Atlin. did not long survive to enjoy the fruits of his find. Others who have made discoveries of a kind not so well de- fined nor of the same original nature have also gone. but the greater num- Der are still left to enjoy the product of their pluck and endurance. Such men ought to live forever.

The dispatches of last week told us that the Nicaraguan army had at tackled a battalion of United States troops and that 4.00o foreign miners had dehed the authorities in Utah.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
DINNER
Will Celebrate Close of Very Sue
cessful Year of Organization at
Miller With Elaborate Event.

The members Of the Chamber of
Commerce will hold a "get-together
dinner at the Miller hotel on next
Thursday evening, Augut 30, at $50
O'Clock. The dinner was decided
upon yesterday afternoon at a meet
ing of the board of directors of the
organization.
1t Is to be an elaborate affair from
every standpoint. The meal is to
be served in the best style of the
hotel. And this is not all that is
promised. There will be speeches by
some of the well-known local orators
and it is understood that what they
have to say will not be "cut and
driend" matter, but will be interest
ing all through.
The event will be to celebrate the
ending of a very successful year on
the part of the organization. The
directors are well pleased with the
work that has been done since the
Chamber of Commerce begain its
career on August II, 1911, and they
believe that a get-together meeting
of this kind will be a celebration
fitting the occasion.
The meeting will consider and
discuss important propositions that
have come before the organization
and some that are likely to come be-
fore it. Suggestions will be heard
from all the members, and all will
take part in the discussions that will
follow.
Secretary L. A. Whitney has a
complete and concise report covering
the work of the organization for the
year already prepared and will read
it before the meeting.
There is probably not another or
ganization of the kind in the state
organized on the principles of the
Brownsville Chamber of Commerce.
1t is conducted in a manner unique
unto itself, and this fact was admit
ted recently when j. A. Arnold, sec
rotary of the Texas Commercial Sec
retaries Association, paid the club
rooms a visit. He complimented the
business-like basis upon which it is
operated.
A committee composed Of w. Fl.
Mason, jr., B. G.. Stegman and l.. A.
Whitney were appointed at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon to arrange
the details for the dinner. The per-
sonnet Of this committee is an as
surance that the event will be ar
ranged and carried out in proper
style.
1t is desired to make the event a
memorable one, and every member is
invited and urgently requested to
attend the meeting.
