makes good reading To loyal citizens
OF Richmond, stimulating their love
Tor the city and making them proudcr
than ever OF their own people and
their own community. Reading 1t
and learning from it, no one can fear
TO talk to strangers of Richmond or
hesitate TO uphold it wherever he may
be. ii is a story Of community pro-
grcsS and growth
The things it tells are noteworthy.
Financially the city has more than
held Its own; assets exceed liabilities
by S1o,O0O,O00; receipts were larger
than disbursements; many improve
.ments were made; there was de-
crease in the crude death rate; the
public schools made great progress:
the fire loss was lower than for more
t"Niits sttiiS. CONSERVATIVE dS
the message is and free from vain
boasting, tho truth simply told Is
splendid advertisement for Richmond.
All of us like this sort OF thing.
We like to he told, even by one OF
ourselves, that VIC are doing things
and doing things well. But they do
not form the best part OF the message
and they do not augur rs well for tho
future as tho spirit IL which the
message Is written. Not that We have
done things, but that we should rec
ognize that VIC must do things, is the
finest note in.all that George Ainslc
has said. That is the part we like
best, for ii is q guarantee that the
CHIEF executive OF the city has his
face TO the future and not to the past.
1t is we'll to know that through the
efforts OF tho health board the death
rate has been lowered. but it is bot
ter to recognize that tuberculosis is
cNnctng n greater toll than it should,
ana that something must be done to
check its ravagcs. II is we'll to know
that the police have done n great
work. but better to acknowledge that
there is room for improvcm ent. There
is no harm in self-satisfaction that
our public school system is better
than ever before in It's history, ii !:

mako ii better. Just so far as 1t will
inspire us to do more IL ii a good
thing to stop n while to take note
OF the progress made in the past.
Just so far as II tends 10 make us
contentcd with ourselves IS thcro
harm in it.
That Is why wa like better than
any part OF the Mayors message his
evident recognition OF the needs Of
tho future. and that is why. in read
ing the message, We turned first 10

GREAT GOLD REGION.
Report on the Yukon Tanana Terri
tory, Alaska.

The first gold deposits found in in
land Alaska, were in the Yukon Tan
ana region. which comprises an up
land diversified by broad valleys
stretching westward from the inter
national boundary to the great bend of
neer prospectors crossed the Chilkoot
pass about 1880 and six years later
began mining in the interior of Alaska
after finding gold in the Yukon Tan
ana region. Since then this region
has produced gold to the value of
about $S3,00O,000 The United States
geological survey began its survey of
this field which embraces same 10000
square miles, in 1898. With the issu-
ing of the report on the portion of the
region known as the Circle quadrangle,
published recently as Bulletin 53S, geo.
logic and topographic reconnaissance
maps, together with a description of
the mineral resources of this area, be-
came available.

oldest white settlements ON the Yu
kon 1t was located before the sur
veyor had determined that the town
was not on the Arctic Circle rs sup
posed, but so miles south of it. Les
the nearneSs of the Arctic Circle be
regarded as indicative of ice and snow.
1t should be noted that there are mel
ther glaciers nor permanent snow in
the Yukon Tanana region. 1t is, in
deed, land of fertile valleys and
grassy slopes, and during the short bu
warm summers vegetation thrives
many grains can be ripened and veg

the establishment Of adequate railroad
transportation facilities may be ex-
pected to greatly develop this entire
region.

MINING DANGERS.
Unexpected Accidents Frequently o.
cur With Serious Results.

Dangers in mining are many. and
accidents are simple causes. A mine
in Victoria, Australia. was recently
unwatered, and on two men entering
a raise above the 200-foot level an ex-
plosion occurred. although neither was
hurt Gas had evidently accumulated
and been compressed by the water in
to the top of the raise and the lights
exploded it, Old WINES in mines
gradually fill with water, which gets
foul if there is no drainage. When
driving raises to connect with such
wines, care is needed, especially when
nearing the bottom Of the WINES, says
Mining and Scientific Press A drill
hole should be made through the in
tervening ground, and the water grad
ually drained through it. In western
Australia several years ago, two men
lost their lives through a sudden rush
Of water from winZe to which they
were driving in a raise.

(Mining and Scientific PreSS)
Ore bodies are often below the beds

extraction is dangerous until arrange

Iron Mining company, the mining sub
sidiary of the United States Steel
corporation, has made an appropria-

machinery on a barge and extending
the discharge pipe as the water re-
cedes. Shafts are to be sunk as soon
as the lake is dry, and an attempt will
be made to operate the property as an
underground mine, as the over burden
is too heavy for the best results with
an open pit mining method. The
amount of water to be handled in the
underground system may necessitate a
change later to an open pit, but this
can only be definitely determined af-
ter experiments have been made. The
fee of the property is owned by the
state, which will derive large sum
in royalties from the work.

MINING A SAFE BUSINESS.
Expert Says It Is Safer Than Farming
or Industrial Enterprises.

II consider mining enterprises with
mining engineers and experts, safer
from a business standpoint than farm
ing and industrial enterprises.
1.-The ore from which the results are
obtained Is already in the ground, and
it is only question of the time and
the method Of extracting same and
producing metal therefrom."
These statements were made to the
graduates Of the Columbia school of
mines by Adolph Lewisohn, one Of the
most successful operators of mining
properties in the country.
In recent interview published in
the New York Times Annalist, Mr.
Lewisohn has the following to say re-
garding the industry in this country:
I'm the business of mining success
depends largely upon the ability of the
engineer or expert to correctly deter
mine the grade and approximate guam
tity Of ore that is in a given space in
the mine and the metallurgical treat
ment which will give the most salts
factory results A farmer may have all
the necessary knowledge and ability
and yet may not be able to obtain good
results under certain adverse condi-
tions as above mentioned. The sue
cess of industrial enterprises depends
greatly on the ability to procure the
raw material from those who produce
It and to manufacture it into the fin
ished article at price which will
leave a profit The raw material in a
mine Is supplied by nature. 1t does
not have to grow as crops do, but Is
there ready to be taken out at any
time and the results depend greatly
on the reliability of the mining engin-
neer or expert and his ability to cor
rectly determine the quantity that can
be extracted and at what cost. The
market price Of the metal may vary
but we'll trained, experienced men can
form y far Judgment as to this, AS a
general rule a mining enterprise Is
able to produce the metal at not high
er than the average cost of production
should be able to compete with the
other producers and be considered as
good enough to enter the field Of com
petition"

GEORGE WASHINGTON
WAS A GOOD SURVEYOR
LIKE MODERN MoRTALs, WAS IN
THE BUSINESS FOR THE
e MONEY IT BROUGHT IN.

1t is not generally known that
George Washington took up surveying
for the very same reason that young
men take II up today--to earn an non
est living or this, says Engineerine
News, we have positive proof in his
own words, for In describing in a let
ter to a friend, the hardships Of from
tier surveyors life he wrote: Nothing
would make it pass off tolerably bu
the good reward of a doubloon every
day that the weather will permit my
going out and sometimes six pistoles,'
A doubloon was equivalent in Wash 20
ington's day to about $500 and sly
pstoes to $21.60: so the conclusion
must be drawn that land surveying
| in 1850 was at least as profitable as
at the present time.
Surveying at Nineteen.
According to tradition, about l751
when Washington was 10 years old, h.
surveyed for Lord Fairfax the line be
tween what was to be Augusta and
Frederick counties, Virginia.
| The line was surveyed as a straight
course from the head spring of the
Hedgman river, one Of the sources OF
the Rappahannock, to the head sprins
Of the Potomac river The approxini'
ate course was first determined by
building bonflres on intervening higl
points, after which the line between
was run by compass. OF course, the
simple old style compass without {
telescope was used, and even Georg'
Washlngton's line could not be expect
ed to check absolutely with the line
run last summer by the forest service
surveyors using modern instruments.
His Work Was Accurate.
Nevertheless. these same surveyor
are authority for the statement thu
the line had been run so carefully thu
but little variation was found In It
Even without instruments 1t was pos
sible to trace the course Of the linz
with surprising distinctness by means
of boundary fences dating back to thu
early days, and by alternate blocks o
standing timber and cleared area
bordering the line like the squares ii
la checker board.
Survey blazes cut in trees, and sine
grown over, have been cut away b.
surveyors in making resurveys, and
count Of the annual rings of growtl
over the old scar have shown that the
were made at the time washington
was surveying these lands and wer
presumably made under his direction
These blazes were so high on the tree
that it Is generally believed they Wer

HELENA HAS NOVEL
PLAN TO WORK MINES
BUSINESS MEN PUT UP MONEY
TO DO PRELIMINARY DE-
VELoPMENT WORK.

The business men of Helena have
adopted novel plan to develop the
mining section surrounding the city,
and particularly to rejuvenate some
Of the old properties which have long
been idle presumably for the reason
that they can not be profitably work.
ed. The business men Of Helena are
acting upon the theory that improved
methods in mining and milling which
have characterized the mining indus
try during recent years will make pos
sible the profitable operation of many
mines which could not be worked pro-
fitably under old methods. That this
Is true has been demonstrated repeat
eddy in various parts Of the west, and
this district has afforded notable ex-
amples. The spirit of the business
men Of Helena in putting up the mon
ey to prove the correctness of their
theory can not be too highly COM
mended, and their efforts will no doubt
result in the resumption Of much min

been idle.
The Helena Plan.
The Butte Miner has this comment
on the action of the Helena business
men: 1.-THE scheme inaugurated by
the business men Of Helena having TO-!
its object the raising of money for the
ne iStp
critics is meeting with such general
favor that it is more than likely to
spread to other localities Through
out the state there are dozens Of mines
now idle due to the lack of none!
and modern facilities for the treatment
of ore. On the dumps Of those mines
there are estimated to be thousands
Of tons of ore which today could be
treated at a profit whereas Is or %
years ago the machinery was not
available for the purpose. This Is not
only particularly true Of the Helena
district, but 1t is equally true Of the
Virginia City district Already the
business men of Helena have sub
scribed large amount Of money for
the purpose of employing engineers tc
make examinations of abandoned
mines and submit reports on the grade
Of ore ito be found on dumps. The
citizens propose to organize into one
large company and whenever an en-
gineer reports that mine can be OPP
Grated at a profit or that there are in
dications which would justify develop
ment work, a crew of men will be put
to work. Assays will be made of ore
on dumps and If it is found that the
ore can be treated at a profit it will be
got out. The idea is to start move
ment to thoroughly develop the great
mineral resources of the state. In
gold, silver, copper and lead there is
unquestionably much yet to be recov-
cred in districts outside of Butte and
the Helena people are starting out
with a determination of settling once
for all the question Of the value Of the
many mines from which great guam
titles Of ore were taken years ago and
which were abandoned all the way
from IL to 20 years ago on the ground
that they could not be worked at a
profit"
