TRANSPORTATION NEEDED FOR
GOLD MINE DEVELOPMENT

Three quartz gold mines-the Gold
Bullion, Alaska Free Gold and Gold
Quartz-'were operated inthe Willow
Creek district of Alaska in 1912, ac-
cording to the report of the United
States Geological Survey on Alaskan
mineral resources. Each of these prop
critics is equipped with small mill
which operated during the summer
season, crushing in all about 1900 tons
of ore and producing gold to the value
of about 100000. The properties
have thus far been operated only on a
small scale, chiefly owing to lack of
railroads and the high cost of trans
portation. In this connection perhaps
the most important event of the year
in the Willow Creek district was the
completion of wagon road up the
Little Susitna, rendering the eastern
part of the district accessible. Plans
are now being made looking to larger
developments by continuing certain
properties and developing hydroelee-
trie power on the Little Susitna. Sew
eral discoveries of gold.bearing quartz
are said to have been made in 1912.

FEDERAL AID FOR
CAREY PROJECTS

+. IL. Newell, director of the United
States reclamation service, in q speech
before the Commercial club at Boise
Wednesday evening took strong
grounds in favor of Federal aid TO,
Carey act projects that have been
held up through lack of financial sup
port. He said there was still $20,,
100000 available of the $I00,00O,00O
advanced by the Federal government
for irrigation purposes, and that this
s20,000,000 should be utilized by the
department in cooperation with the
states in putting these limping pro
cts on their teet.
At the same time Director Newell
insisted that the west must make
good; that there must be no hint of
reputation of any part of the obi
cations in any part of the west, and
that the west must see to it that bona
fide settlers 60 upon the land and
that it must not be bought up by
spectators IN the east and elsewhere
who have no intention of making
improvements, but who hope to make
profits out of the toll of others.
Strong resentment was aroused in
Boise by an editorial in the New York
Times of recent date denouncing the
policy of Secretary Lane and ending
up with this remark: The congress
slonal pork barrel has poured forth its
millions almost like water upon the
irrigated western farms. 1t is time to
END a lot of cant on this subject and
to ask whether the policy of reclama-
tion repays anybody but the imme-
date beneiciaries.
Director Newell asserts that there
was no "pork barrel'' policy in the
reclamation service, that every dollar
put into the irrigation of western
lands by the Federal government was
to be returned by the settler. In this,
he said, reclamation differs from the
appropriations made for rivers and
harbors in the east and south, which
are outright gifts from Uncle Sam, no
part of which is ever to be returned.

morning and afternoon, to witness
the games between the Loveloek High
and Winnemucca Grammar schools.
In the singles this morning Arthur
Lilly and Frances Hoskins, of Winnie
mucca, lost to Dan Olson and Grace
Fuss, of Lovelock.
This afternoon. in the single match
between Prof. McKillop and Prof.
Maxwell, the former won in two
straights.
As the Silver State goes to press,
there are two double events in pro
gress. Cecil Callahan and Robert
Seeliger, of Winnemucca, are matched
against Dan Olson and Irma McIn-
tosh, of Lovelock, and Irma Hoskins

saws Ants Do Not Cooperate

NJ Cornetz, practised observer of
insect life, asserts that ants know
nothing of cooperation in their social
life. In proof he cites an experiment
which any one can repeat. Offer an
ant a piece of cheese shaped like
shuttle; 1t seizes the tip, turns II
about and starts dragging 1t in the d.
rection OF its nest. Other ants arrive
and seize the cheese by its sides. 1t
continues to advance, but more slowly.
There is no united effort; each ant
is trying to turn the crumb of cheese
around II we chase off the ants on
the right the cheese will turn to the
right, for the o,her ants are pushing
1t. Chase off those on the left and 1t
turns to the left for the same reason.
Chase OF the one that Is pulling 1t and
1t stands still. for the ants on each side
counteract each other.
M. Cornetz holds this proof that
each ant is acting for himself alone.

COMMISSION GOES
TO San FRANCISCO

In an attitude of mind decidedly
leaning toward economy, if not abso-
lutte elimination of the proposed Ne
vada state building at the 1915 Pana-
ma-Pacifc exposition, members of the
commission, accompanied by Commits
sioner General George T. Mills, left
Reno last night for San Francisco to
confer with exposition officials, says
the Gazette. In the party were Cover
nor Oddie, Lieutenant Governor Ross
and Attorney General George B.
Thatcher, the three commissioners.
While in San Francisco the three
Nevada representatives will be guests
at the Portola festival. Owing to the
public sentiment which has been dis
played against the expenditure of a
commission announced the expense of
the trip would not be charged against
the exposition fund.
There is sai, to be a feeling among
members Of the commission that it
will not be necessary to spend more
than half or two-thirds of the appro-
priation, the idea seeming to prevail
that it would be more to Nevada s
advantage to help farmers of the state
make exhibits of prize-winning pro-
ducts in the buildings provided for the
competitive exhibits than to put big
sum into a Nevada building.

AMERICAN LINE NOW
SAILING ~ BRAZIL

SAILING ~ BRAZIL
For many years the Stars and
Stripes, except as borne by yachts and
men-of war, have been strangers in the
chief ports of South America. Not
one American steamship service has
been in operation to Chile, Peru, Ar
gentia or Brazil. Our whole communi-
cation with those important Latin
countries has been dependent on our
competitors of Europe.
But within a few weeks an Ameri-
can freighting service has been estab-
lished from New York to Rio Janeiro,
the great Brazilian port. One laden
steamship has already sailed, and
three more vessels, the steamers
American, Californian and Hawaiian,
are scheduled to follow, once q month.
These vessels belong to the American
Hawaiian company, which is able to
spare them from it's large fleet, pend
ing the actual opening of the Panama
canal. These three steamers are all
American built, of a fine, efficient
type, distinctly superior to the for
eign cramps" that monopolize the
most of our South american carrying.
1t is reported in New York that the

Brazil will have the formidable back
ing of the United States Steel corpor-
alton, which is large shipper of its
massive products to Brazil and all the
parts of South America. This of it.
self should prove a very great advan-
tage. There have been persistent
charges that the European steamship
companies, particularly those operat-
ing to Brazil and Argentina, have
made a practice to discriminate
against American trade wherever they
dared. Congress has lately made
searching investigation of the subject,
and these European companies are now
under prosecution in the Federal
courts.
All the European nations actively
competing for the export trade of
South America insist ON having their
merchandise delivered under their own
eolors in ships owned and controlled
by their own manufacturers and mer-
chants. The value of the national flag
is proposition which does not need
to be argued in Great b ritain or
France or Germany or Italy. Our own
country is the only country which has
continued to trust its goods to the de-
livery wagons of its rivals.-Boston
