tirely as a benefactor, and if the gov ernment of the United States con templates putting it's foot down on the granting of concessions in these coun- tries to Europeans us recent speech of President Wilson and the statement ot Ambassador Page to the Savage Club in London the other day would seem to indicate it should take meas u-es at the same time to put a stop to the wholesale grabbing of concessions hy Americans.
 It is probable, however, that Presl- dent Wilson and Mir Page were mere " serving notice on Europe that the United states would oppose by every means in her power the acquisition of territory at the Isthmus for the con- struCtion of another canal which would enter into competition with the Panama. The most rebid advocate of the Monroe doctrine would hardly dream of attempting an interference with the rights of sovereign peoples and at the same time antagonize the most powerful nations in the world.-- Vancouver Sun.

While tho daily business of life and the numerous activities of men are generally regarded as most snricus matters. there is q hint. occas ionally in the public press and elsewhere. that our civilization Is a hugo joke; that we have a standard of action that We have placed high up on a pedestal for all the world to see and use it only for the purpose of period ically dusting it off.
 It is probably true that the personal equation, the selfish considerations of men. have had deal to do with the temporary failure of many of our ideals. No doubt many have held cer- tain high purposes, and yet have un- consciously gone on with the business Cf improving their personal condi- tons by a wholly different standard ot principle. Observing this, the cynic hastens to his work, and our civiliza- tion thus becomes a joke.
 There is no denying thet promise ard performance theory and practice, the ideal and the real, do not com monly follow parallel lines and that there is great deal of self decep- tion practiced by the average man both in his dealings with himself and with his fellowman
 The Cynic laughs at the orator in 1 congress, his ponderous platitudes his tCmes of verbiage, his air-soundinG iCealism and his padded and grandi- csc periods; he laughs because he with his performances.
 The cynic laughs at the citizen at lis mass meeting; at the thunderous applause that follows the idealist ora tor; at the high-sounding pronuncia- mento. and the failures of perform arce that SO often follow:
 The cynic laughs at the mask of iaealism because he sees only the bare face of performance as 1t Is; he laughs because he regards man as a child who plays with tops that will soon be broken and put away.
 The lesson of the cynic is that we shuld be making more progress f We did not aim so high and hit the 1RK PFSk, i3 that humanity should be honest with itself and attempt that only which Is possible within our limita- tic ms; to attempt that only which is DC ssible of performance by beings whose soaring ideals are limited by the conditions of workaday world

An interesting paragraph is found in d report just issued on the work of the bureau of education for the na- tives of Alaska It tells of the found inf of the village of Hydahburg on the west coast of Prince of Wales sound.
 This is communal village. like Metlakatla, but the Indians are the Alaska, Hydahs who formerly lived in their two principal concerns, trad ing company and lumber mill, both native enterprises, show successful conduct.
 The remarkable thing about this is tAe rise of a people in the scale of civilization in half century from hcad-hunting savagery to communism
 One of the early settlers of Whidby island, and the first collector of cus- t1'ns on Puget sound. Col. Ebey, who has many descendants still living. was killed by one of these tribes and his head WAS carried away as trophy. In common with the tribes of the Kwakiutl family the Hydahs practiced cannlbalism. This was a rite, how ever the hamatsa degree in the secret SC ciety or order which united all the northern Indians in a more or less common brotherhood
 These head-hunting cannibalistit, natives preyed upon all the fatheads or the south. They excelled the Salish in mental and physical vigor and are surviving longer in the unequal strug- gle with civilization.
 On the one side there is but a fec l ble survival with no advancement On the other there has been progress and . marked capacity for readjustment to | changing environment.
 In the light of history, the age-old conflicts of savagery, with the &C., companying degradation and debauch- cry, the rise of various portions of the | Hydah and Tsimpsian tribes really IS n most remarkable anthropological | phenomenon.-P. I.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, APRIL 8, 1s14.

The manufacturing of gold' was recently made the subject for discus son in an ably written article by a inning engineer and appeared in Q late issue of q mining journal. In that article it was shown that the atten- tiUn of the capital and investors. seek inL a safe and sane investment, had fer some time been attracted to the mining of low grade ores and low grade placer ground European cap itai has especially entered this field. and the best paying mines of the world of which the Treadwell mine Is an example, illustrates what is meant by manufacturing gold. Large mills capable of handling a tonnage commensurate with the size of the lode and with new and improved methods of treatment, gold is ex- tracted on q manufacturing basis, the same as the big iron and steel plants turn out a manufactured product from crude iron ore. At present no quartz mines has been developed in Seward peninsula. but that there are vast bodies of low grade ore Is we'll known and that they will receive attention iH the near future there can be no doubt. Investigations have, however. shown that the body of low grad, placer ground, which can be handled hv dredgers exists all around us. The rcdern gold dredge has reduced plac- (. mining to q manufacturing basis as will be seen from their operation in California Australia, Montana and elsewhere.
 The mammoth mines of the Rand ir South Africa, the Homestake in St uth Dakota and the Treadwell prop critics in Alaska are examples of mod err alchema.
 The interesting letter of J. D. Win ter published in yesterdays NUGGET indicate that Seward peninsula is go- ing to see some large developments ir the near future. and that mining CI. a large scale is but matter of time--the vast bodies of low grade placer ground, will in few years produce more gold than was produced when the rich creek claims and old beach lines were most productive. That there exists large bodies of low grade ground in and around Anvil and King mo untain is well known, that they are richer in gold. can be raore easily and cheaply worked than the Treadwel lew grade ores is also well known That this country has low grade ores capable of being worked, as well sit i'.' eo and carrying more gold per ton - 'te Treadw Il ores is maintained by mining men here,

SAY HUERTA PLANNED
insult To Bring WAR
Mr.. Wilson Convinced Mexican Ruler
Delayed Answer to Let Guns
Reach Vera Cruz.
FEARED DEFEAT BY REBELS

President Wilson is convinced that Gen.
Huerta planned the insult TO the Ameri-
can flag at Tampico with the express
purpose Of bringing on a war with the
United States He believes also that the
Mexican ruler deliberately prolonged the
negotiations with Charge O'Shaughnessy
In order TO give time for the arrival of
the guns and ammunition on the Ger
man liner at Vera Cruz, which he had
purchased from Schneider & Co, Of
Paris. France.
The Presidents views in this regard
were strengthened yesterday by a mes
sage received by a member Of the Cabi-
net from an American citizen who ar
rived In New York on a steamer from
Mexico. This man reported that he had
intimate knowledge Of the intent Of
Huerta throughout the negotiations and
declared II WAS not to be doubted that
HueTta had watched and waited for
a preteNt on which to gOad the United
States into hostilities
This news was received here as sub
sanitation Of the belief that obtained in
high quarters after Huerta's first reply
TO the United States demand. This was
that HueTta was seeking war with the
United States as afrording him his only
hope for uniting the Mexican people. II
was declared that his reverses al Tor
reOn had convinced the dictator that he
was doomed to eventual defeat at the
hands Of the cOnstitutiOnalists and that
he feared for his own life should time be
allowed for another series of rebel vic
tories.
Semi-official admission that this belief
l. now accepted was made yesterday.
New York. April 22-President Huerta
will appeal to the United States for the
appointment Of a peace arbitration COM
mittee to settle the matters in dispute.
according to an announcement made here
this afternoon by Emeterio de la Cara.

Mexican dictator to President Wilson,

LONDON PAPERS LOOK
FOR VIGOROUS ACTION
Expect United States Will Promptly
Proceed to Punish
Huerta.

London, April 22--London newspapers
look for immediate and aggressive action
by the United States and prompt punish
Inent for Huerta as a result of the kill
ing and wounding of American marines
and sailors at Vera Cruz. Many OF them
announced today that they would reserve
editorial comment for later Developments.
The Evening Standard dwells ironically
on the situation, saying:
while Wilson is entirely peaceful.
shells-for war has not been declared and
will not he declared, says the White
House-have seriously inconvenienced 200
Mexicans. 1t is to be hoped this incon-
venience will not go further. Huerta has
only to apologize in proper form and
there will be no further explosions of
Presidential anger; there will be no un-
pleasant hauling Of Huerta ovei the Goals
for numbering foreigners and destroying
their property. Some Senators desire
this. but their mouths shall be stopped.
'Huerta's repentance is to be made
easy, and as primrosy as possible. .
Wilson's attack will rather initiate the
delicately scientific methods of Jiu
Jitsu. 80 Huerta will find himself pow
erless TO make further resistance. The
schoolmaster has donned the armor Of
Achilles and Julius Caesar"
SO President Wilson acts at once
says the Westminster Gazette, without
waiting for Congress. which takes an
unexpectedly long time in passing the
asked-for resolutions Trouble has arisen
tons 20 the way in which the govern
ment's resolutions were drafted
At the time the Westminster Gazette
went to press no word had been received
as to the final action taken by the
United States Senate.
