GOLD MINING IN ALASKA
The Bonanza Days Are Past, U. 5 Geological Men Say '-

From the New York Times.
 The days of bonanza mining in Alaska ! are over, but there still remains a vast Fred H. Moffit, who has just completed for the United States Geological Survey an investigation of the geology of Nome and the region of the Seward peninsular The investigation of the mineral re- sources of the Seward peninsular by the Survey began in 1s99.and geologic and topographic surveys have been made al various times since. The report just made public brings together all the in formation at hand regarding the aurifer-
 ous gravels of the area.
 The naming of Seward Penfnsular in 1898 was a somewhat tardy recognition of the man who had negotiated, amid jeers
 and ridicule, the purchase of the great territory from Russia years befors. His foresight has been justified and the small arm of the country named after him has proved worthy of the name, while the
 bonanza mining in the Nome region
 which has produced over $50,000,000 ir
 gold many times more than what secre- tary Seward paid for the whole of Alas. Ike, is now matter of history.
 | The region still contains large bodies oi 1 gold gravels many of which can be prof itably exploited. It is not unlikely, ac coruing to the Geological survey, Una in the future moro gold will be won iron these deposits than has been mined 1T
 the past. The officials of the Survey sa,
 that while a less definite statement 1!
 possible concerning lode mining. the fielt ! is well worthy of careful prospecting fol gold vein deposits.
 l In the earlier days of the mining O. l the rich sea-shore sands at Cape Nomt speculation was rife as to the origin O
 the sold, even the theory that tiSS gCis came from the sea being advanced. Ok
 miners knew better than this, but 1t re
 nained for a couple of geologists O | the Survey who were passing througl and observing the great city of tent stretching along the gold-rich beach tt recognize an ancient beach on the high CT level which was presumably also ricl l in gold. A statement of this observation was immediately given out by the Geo ological Survey. and prospectors yer,
 also advised to investigate the beds O. streams cutting in to the coast whici
 had originally transferred the gold par ticles to the beach sands. Subsequen
 development showed the old and pre- historic beach as well as the stream
 beds to be rich in gold.

Lewis0hn Believes in
 Building Good Roads

Employment in the open air. in build
 ing and repairing roads, in farming,
 and so on, is most important in the de-
 velopment of a prison system, is the
 contention of Adolph Lewisohn, who re- gently accepted the chairmanship of the executive committee of the national committee on prison labor.
 MT. Lewisohn is a great believer in | the theory that close contact with na- l ture has in itself a tendency to inn prove and elevate. All prison contract labor, he holds, with it's many abuses should be abolished and the prisoner should receive fair remuneration for against the time of his discharge or which can be employed when necessary for the assistance of his family Furthermore, there should be a
 proper system of reduction of sentences for good behavior and proper system of parole for first. and possibly second offenders. assuming that the protection of society is the Wain object. though it is hardly wise to continue the pris on under parole for too long a period During such time he is differently treated from others and cannot live un- der natural conditions; therefore the sooner he is permitted to come back te natural conditions the better. Those in authority should be partic- uldTIy CdTelul LO act With JuSuCe and fairness in maintaining discipline | among the prisoners and should try to inculcate in them a spirit of honor and self-respect.
 Again, the entire atmosphere of a prison should abound in hope and jus l tice. The prisoner should always be | made to feel that he is being treated with entire justice, and there should be held out to him the prospect that ii 1 he conducts himself with propriety and shows a sincere desire to reform, the
 future is still full of hope and a new | life will soon be opened to him and his past offenses against society condoneo and forgiven
 ! There is no very great difference be tween the man inside of prison walls and the man outside, with some excep- tions. We ought to give the prisoner a square deal, and if we do, conditions will greatly improve.
 | To make these principles of prison reform effective in the different states 1 is the hope of MT. Lewisohn, and un- der his guidance the work of the na- | tional committee on prison labor will l lead to this end.

New Use Found
 For EmplOyes

An Iowa farmer, Paige Detroit owner, recently found a unique use for his car. During the illness of one of his family a short time ago he had ur- gent need of an electric fan. For three weeks he hooked a six-inch electric fan and a Paige Detroit "36' battery to gether. Thus the invalid was given a cool breeze throughout the entire period Moreover this was done without any injury to the storage battery.
 What impressed the farmer was the fact that the Gray & Davis generator would charge the battery before noon each day thus furnishing enough elec- tricity to run the fan from noon till $ the next morning and still leave enough juice in the battery to light the lights and start the motor.

for spreading the water out over this inn
 mense area. and it is safe to say that the
 proposition, if carried out would build up
 wealth for the state equal to 10 times
 the apparent damage to the valley. The valley is so situated that the wa ters of such a reservoir would back up against the hills on every side and to- tally cover every square mile of tilable land. That is one of the principal fea- lures of the site for reservoir purposes. It is an immense undertaking, and would require a great deal of capital to consummate. The matter was considered by eastern capital some years ago. repre- sentatives of an Omaha irrigation com pany having gone over the proposition, but at that time the promoters were un- able to secure the right from the state to build the reservoir. It is said the present promoters have secured this privilege from the state, and that 1t is up to those who are able to finance the deal It is difficult to estimate the value of the land that would be embraced in the deal. es- pecially on account of the town. It would cost approximately $6oo,0oO to acquire ti- tie to the site.

Haynes, Americas first car, in this ter ritory.
 Pure aluminium is too soft and lack ing in tensile strength to be used in the motor car, but when copper is added it has the double virtue of combining great strength with very light weight.
 As early as 1896 Elwood Haynes, pioneer auto builder. found it necessary to eliminate gray or cast-iron in mak ing crank eases, owing to it's extreme weight and the none too durable na- ture of it's construction Steel was even heavier and brass out of the ques- tion. After considerable waste of time and expensive experiment he found an aluminium alloy which contains 93 per cent of aluminium and : per cent cop per It was made by melting the alum mum and afterwards adding, while still in the molten state the proper amount of copper. The alloy furnished to the trade today is of practically the same composition, and so successful has 1t been that 1t Is now in universal use among builders of better motor cars.
 'It is estimated that during the year 1914 the American automobile manu- lecturers will use over 60,000 tons of aluminium On every car there are about 75 parts made of alloys of this metal. Among the most important of these are the crank-case, oil pan, steer ing wheel spider, vent tubes and trans mission case.
 '"rhe tensile strength of the alumi- mum used in the Haynes car is about 10000 pounds while the tensile strength of cast iron, although three times as heavy, seldom goes above IS, . 900 pounds"
