What the Prospector Has Done.
From the Chicago Blade

from tne Cn1cdgo bldue.
Alaska has produced in minerals sooe,-
100000. the production in 1912 totaling
So 100. 900. The results have been secured
by small. scattered population Of 32,-
coo whites. working under the most ad-
verse and costly conditions ever expert
enced by pioneers in a frontier land.
With Alaska opened to development and
costs reduced by the construction of rail-
roads, wagon roads and trails I believe
mining will receive an impetus that will
greatly increase the production beyond
any comparison with the present output,
opening up as it will immense deposits of
low grade ore and furnishing more ad-
vanced bases Of supplies from which the
prospector can push further into the un-
known and uncover the hidden wealth
that would always remain covered were
it not for his unexcelled enthusiasm and
energy. The pioneer prospector is deserv-
ing of every announcement and help;
his reward Is never commensurate with
the great value Of his work to humanity
and civilization.
1t was the cry of Gold in the Klon
dixie that first lured him on, and now
the cry of Gold in the Chisana" is to
him fresh impetus. 1t is through the
prospector and his work that Alaska has
become known to the civilized world as
storehouSe of mineral wealth unsur-
passed.

Much Buried Columbus.
From the Milwaukee Press

The proposal to take the body of Chris
topher Columbus to Panama for exhibi-
ton. recalls to mind that this would be
the pioneers sixth resting place since he
died in 1906.
Columbus was buried in valladolid.
Spain, his body being exhumed q few
years later and recommitted to earth at
the Chartreause convent, Seville.
Here it was only allowed to rest q yerv
short period, being taken across the At
lantic-then, OF course, many months'
journey-in 1888. and buried for the third
time in the Cathedral Of st. Domingo.
After lapse Of go years, in 1795. part
Of the island passed to France, so once
again the patriotic Spaniards interrupted
the national hero's rest to rebury him at
Santiago. Then. when Cuba was lost to
Spain, the body was taken back to Se-
vile, where it now lies in the cathedral,
