GOLD MINING IN ALASKA
The Bonanza Days are Past, U. 5.
GeoIouicaI Men Say.

The days of bonanza mining in Alas
ka are over, but there still remains
vast treasure Of gold, says the New
York Times. This is the opinion oi
Fred II. Moffit who has just completed
for the United Geological survey an in
vestigation of the geology Of Nome anC
the region of the Seaward peninsula
The investigation of the mineral re-
sources of Seaward peninsula by the
survey began in 1899, and geologic ano
topographic surveys have been made al
various times since. The report jus'
made public brings together all the in
formation ut hand regarding the auri-
ferrous gravels of the area.
The naming of Seaward peninsula ir
1898 was a somewhat tardy recognition
Of the man who had negotiated, annie
jeers and ridicule, the purchase Of the
great territory from Russia years be-
fore. His foresight has been justified
and the small arm Of the country nam
ed after him has proved worthy of the

Nome region, which has produced ovel
$5O, 900, 900 of gold, many times more
than what Secretary Seward paid fol
the whole of Alaska. is now matter oi
history.
The region still contains large bodies
of gold gravels many of which can be
profitably exploited. 1t is not unlikely
according to the Geological Survey
that in the future more gold Will be
won from these deposits than has been
mined in the past. The officials of the
survey say that while less definite
statement is possible concerning lode
mining. the field is we'll worthy of
careful prospecting for gold vein de-
posits.
In the earlier days Of the mining on
the rich seashore sands at Cape Nome
speculation was rife as To the origin of
the gold even the theory that the gold
came from the sea being advanced. Old
miners knew better than this, but ii
remained for Il couple Of geologists of
the survey who were passing through
and observing the great city of tents
stretching along the gold-rich beach to
recognize an ancient beach on the
higher level which was presumably
also rich in gold. a statement of this
observation was Immediately given out
by the Geological Survey, and prospec-

coast which had originally transferred
the gold particles to the beach sands,
Subsequent development showed the

Great Truths Were Decided.-P's- g.
tory shows that many discoverers Of
great truths have been the subjects Of
derision and persecution. They have
often been treated as Missionaries and
dangerous innovators.
Harvey, the discoverer Of the circu-
lation of blood, lost his practice and
was lampooned over the then civilized
world. Bartholin, who discovered the
lacteals. was treated with contempt
and ridicule Even Harvey, when he
became old, never believed in the thor
acic duct, but believed the lacteals all
terminated in the liver.
Horace saw his odes despised. Eliza
beth regarded Bacon as an unsound
speculative genius and as incapable Of
serving her with judgment. Socrates,
for teaching the unity Of God, was
compelled to drink hemlock and die.
Pythagoras was banished for his opin-
ions. Democritus was cast into prison
for dssecting a human body. Every
historian knows that Galileo, at 20
years old, was imprisoned for announc-
ing the motion Of the earth.
Aristotles books were burned Des-
cartes was prosecuted because he
taught the inatenes of ideas; his books
were burned by order of the University
of Paris. 1t is said Of the Newtonian
philosophy that authority scowled
upon it; taste was disgusted by it and
fashion was ashamed Of it."-New York
Press.

KIND HEARTED DRUMMERs
They Show Their Practical Sympathy
for Youthful Couple.


We'll, I've read and heard a lot Of
this romance talk, but l never got mix
ed with the real thing until last Satur-
day night a week ago over at Char
of a Baltimore guaranty company.
Il was passing a Queen City hotel at
evening and was attracted inside; by /
know not what. When went into the
parlor 1 found a very anxious couple,
very much in love and just dying to get
married. In conversation with them
was an unyielding registers clerk, who
refused to grant license because the
peared rather juvenile About ten trav-
cling men had gathered round and
were adding their earnest pleas to
those Of the young couple. The prayer
went on till midnight without avail.
The couple had been to Gastonia twice
with no better results. It began to
look like loves labor lost and the bud
ding dream Of love nipped, when some
gested that the crowd hire two auto
mobiles and speed away in the wee
smallest hours Of Sunday morning to
South Carolina and find a register Of
deeds whose heart could not resist
young loves slender pleading.
THE whole crowd chimed into the
chorus and Of course 1 jumped into
one of the cars, too, and away we sped
toward Rock Hill. We were informed
at Fort Mill that we would have to go
to Yorkville to get license. On We went
and we kept on going, passing the
same road sign no less than twice be-
fore we realized that we were lost. FL
nally We asked some one the distance
to Yorkville, and were told five miles
We rode what seemed fifty miles and
were again told that fifteen miles ahead
lay the capital Of York.
I'VE had expected to be back in
Charlotte at five o'clock, but 1t was
six thirty when we arrived at York
vile. But anyway the license and the
preacher were secured, and as we had
the couple with us, the ceremony was
shortly over. The married pair are now
Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper of Valdese.
THE funniest thing is that before
starting there were only two people in
the entire crowd that knew one anoth-
er-the bride and groom. Nobody on
earth but a bunch Of travelling men
would ever have thought Of carrying
out such a caper. But there are two
peOnle who will love the ten earth
trotting strangers long after they find
silver threads among the gold -

still hung in the cash it had made in
the Empress side, Captain Kendall
begged the master Of the collier to
keep his propellers going so that the
hole might remain plugged. The Stor
stad, however, dropped back and the
Empress filled and foundered.
Both men and women were picked
up with children clasped in their arms.
There was little opportunity for officers
of the illfated steamer to put into ef-
feet the old rule of the sea, women
and children first" The disaster came
so quickly and was so overwhelming
that it was a case Of every person for
himself. In the darkness, with the
stiffness of the sea all about them, the
victims went down to their death.
One Of the survivors on the damaged
ship gave brief and graphic descrip-
tion Of what had happened. He said:
Il was asleep in my berth when I
was suddenly rolled to the floor by the
pitch Of the ship. AS soon as l awak-
en- ID I heard n sickening crash Of steel
and timber rending our ship. realized
at once that we had been rammed by
another ship. rushed from my state
room. and even in my fright and ex-
citement marked the quietness Of the
ship. In a few minutes stateroom
doors were filled with pale faces and
men and women were engaged in a

Water Cuts Off Lights.
Officers. partially dressed, were
running about the decks urging the
passengers to be calm. Others were
running to the boat decks to get the
lfeboats off. 1t was dark as pitch, and
the blackness was intensified by the
fact that the water soon got into the
engine room and stopped the dynamos,
cutting off the electric lights. AS the
lights died it added to the gloomy de-
pressiveness. From all parts Of the
deck arose cries, either men or women
passengers calling to their relatives or
the officers Of the ship shouting orders.
The sea was not running high, and yet
the lash Of the water as 1t rose higher
and higher on the hull made up
sound that was extremely terrifying.
Through the fog we could mistily
make out the figure Of the ship which
had run us down. She was limping
badly and we did not know whether
she was going to the bottom or not.
This feeling Of uncertainty and the
likelihood that our neighbor might be
sinking with all on board aroused us to
a still higher tension Of excitement.
Both men and women dropped to
their knees upon the decks. Some pray
ed aloud. Some buried their faces In
their hands and sobbed with a frenzy
born Of despair and the presence OF

WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN.

The result of a study of good and
bad roads by the United States gov
eminent will be of particular inter-
est to the people of this district, as
we are just entering upon a period of
good road building which is destined
to greatly influence the growth and
productiveness of the county. The
governments records We're made on a
road in Virginia, an account of which
Is published in another column of this
issue of The Miner. The productive
ness Of the particular district in
which the experiment was made was
increased As per cent by the building
of the good road and the transporta-
ton cost cut down from 30 cents to
IL cents per ton mile: 100000 was ex
pended in improving the road and has
resulted in a saving to the farmers of
that county Of $4,000 per year.

seriously mistaken, there win be a
strong breeze blowing in the direction
Of the republican party. Republicans
have governed the country for longer
periods than any other party, and his
terry proves that they have governed
more successfully than any other, for
they have had sound business judg-
ment and have looked carefully into
conditions before creating any new
laws to regulate the peoples business.
The same rule applies to county poll
i tics as to national, and this Is not say
/ ing that there are not good sound men
in other political parties. There are
good men in every party. 1t is the
party principle that counts; the fun
damental base Of the structure. One
man can not make party, as Theo-
dora Roosevelt and many others be-
fore him have proven, and one man
can not make laws that work for the
best interests OF the people. 1t takes
many men working in unison to make
la party and many men working in
unison to make laws that will benefit
all of the people all of the time. Re-

though they are sometimes hitched
up that way, because their party prin-
ciples differ.
Shoshone county Is considered re-
publican stronghold, and we expect the
fall elections to deliver larger ma
jority than has ever before been pos
sible for the republican party. We
have tried democratic rule in national
politics. just to see what they would
do, and we have found out in every
instance to our sorrow. Business de-
preston, suspended industry and idle
men tell the whole story, and we are
all pretty we'll content to go lack TO
the grand old republican party and
stay there until such time at least
as we feel rich enough to try another
experiment.

TOO MANY LAWS.

That this state in common with
many others is law-ridden seems to BIT
the general consensus Of opinion Of
the voters, says the Wood River
News-Miner.
1t has been suggested that the rem
edy for this growing evil lies in less
frequent or shorter sessions of legis-
latures, but 1t is doubtful If the trou.
BILE could be thus cured Legislation
is of course necessary, and there may
be too much of the KIND that is ground
out by the average legislature, but
limiting the session of the Legislature
with the idea of curtailing the output
of laws has not been a great success
in states where 1t has been tried.
The most serious feature of the sit
uation is found in the fact that null
tiplicity of laws inspires disregard or
disrespect for all law. A few laws
well enforced are better than many
good laws poorly observed.
So rapidly have laws accumulated
in recent years that the average citi-
zen can not feel certain in the morn
ing that through ignorance he may not
before night become a technical Grim
inal through the violation of some law
which has come into existence over
night to make Illegal some act which
Yesterday was permissible and en-
tirely respectable.
The genuine reformer will seek to
rid the statute books Of useless. UNI
workable laws and for adaptation Of
what is left to the necessities Of mod
ern life and business.
