Converting the World.

IRON IuC lAOS Angeles 1TlOuHc
To Convert the world" is an ambition
frequently expressed. To promotion of it
much appealing oratory is being expended,
and millions OF dollars are being gathered.
Sometimes the thought occurs that a
wider difference morally ought to divide
the Christianized portion Of the globe
from the rest so that the reason for bridg-
ing the chasm might be more apparent.
In every city Of the land there is ignor-
ance, poverty. squalor. crime and despair.
This is the richest. nation Of the world.
yet in parts Of it children are worked in
the mills, and elsewhere reeking sweat
shops destroy all the beauty of life for the
%toilers. Fields yield ~abundantly. n spec
ulators grow grossly rich on the products,
%iionaire coal barens. the profits going, TO
pay dividends on fictitious capital, in the
form Of stock these barons have issued
themselves, while the miner has to fight
for a living wage. and many a hearth Is
cold for lack of the money wherewith to
purchase one poor hod of fuel. The
Christian nations of the world maintain
from being overrun by the army of some
other Christian nation. Occasionally one
makes a foray on the n-Christianized re-
turning with spoils. England forced the
China. A glance at conditions as they ex-
list gives rise to inquiry as to wha are
the new conditions after the Christianiz-
fervent worker stated that With a certain
figures forgotten-India could
be converted in a year" A reasonable
knowledge Of the Islamitic character
makes reasonable the belief that India
could not be ~"converted' in a century.
That missionaries nav accomplished dis
tinct good is not to be denied. Vast sums
have been poured out to enable them to
make the essay. Not so vast. however.
but that the donors could well afford to
give. Nobody would discourage their
work. Only it seems that the field nearer
fore bringing the distant and ~benighted
up to the standard of civilization the
and of civilization ought to be ele-
waited so as to be acceptable to those
born and bred within the sphere of its
influence.

Tho kaiser's Youth.
From the New York World

From the New York World.
A ruler of Kaiser Wilhelm's energy and
vigor has the faculty of never appearing
to grow older. At the respectable age Of
SIS he still wears his years lightly and
serves as an example Of the advantages to
good care a constitution that was none
too sound has been strengthened and made
equal to bearing throughout a long reign
the burden OF a daily round of duties tina
Yet among the sovereigns of Europe in
point of g Kaiser Wilhelm stands near
the top. The venerable emperor of Aus
Roumania. and King Nicholas, Of Monte
negro. are really his only seniors, for the
king of Sweden outclasses him by barely
held by young men. for the most part, well
under SO, who can well afford to borrow
the kaiser's secret Of youth.
A man who enjoys his life's work as
much as he does can defy the calendar
to do its worst.

The measure prepared after general agree

pl!cation OF the local option principle is

primarily on the organization Of districts,
each under Its board OF directors; and no
district may be established except on pc

suffering fro from n. a !. nood that cost scores Of

ALASKA MINERAL OUTPUT
 NEAR $2o MILLION DOLLARS

The mineral production of Alaska in 1913 had a value of 19,413,094, ac cording to the United States Geologi cal Survey. Of this amount, $15, ,626, 813 is to be credited to the gold mines. This makes the total value of gold production of Alaska, up to the close of 1913, $22S, ,392 $40. In addition Ito this nearly $17,000,000 worth oi copper and over $2,0O0, ,000 worth of silver has been produced in Alaska. The above figures are taken from the advance chapter of report issued by the Survey, entitled ~The Mineral Deposits of Alaska and The Mining In dustry in 1913" Bulletin 592-A), by Alfred H. Brooks. i.
 In addition to presenting the figures on mineral production, this report also summarizes the distribution and oc- curreuce of the mineral deposits of Alaska. It shows that gold is very widely distributed in the territory, that there are number of important copper deposits, and also some valu- able coal fields. This publication is the first report issued which covers all of the mineral deposits of the Ter. ritory of Alaska. It presents sum- mary of the many reports dealing with this subject in greater detail that have been issued by the Survey A map ac- comnanies the volume, showing the distribution of the mineral deposits in the Territory.

Scrub oak, pinons, malapai rock, loco weed and prickly pear; Where I'll drag a long riata, use a fancy Spanish bit,
 Where I'll ride center pony; they're the kind that never quit. Take me where the sage is plenty, where there's rattlesnakes and ticks,
 Where a stack of whites cost twenty, and they don't sell gilded bricks; Where the dear old Muddy's standing -she seldom ever flows Makes green patches in the canyons, where the mustang pony grows; Where the old sun-tanned prospector dreams of wealth and pans his dirt Where the sleepy night-herd puncher sings to steers and flies his quirt; Take me where they've got no trolleys, or forty-story shacks, Where they shy at automobiles, do plug hats and three-rail tracks; Take me where there's diamond hiches ropes and brands and cartridge belts Where the boys wear chaps for breech- es, flannel shirts and Stetson felts; The land of silver and copper, the land of sapphire and gold, Take me back to Arizona, boys, let me die there when I'm olG.

"rAkE ME BACK TO ARIZONA"

(The following poem was composed by George De Long, better known as Shorty" of Walnut Creek, Arizona, under rather unique circumstances Shorty got into a controversy with a native son" while on visit to Los Angeles and resenting state ment to the effect that Arizona was a "phony' state, proceeded to teach the Californian some manners and, not being satisfied with knocking out the man who maligned his native state, took on plain-clothes man who interfered for lively encounter, to the end that he landed behind the bars. The poem was written during 'Shortys'' sojourn in the country's free boarding house, and clearly DOT trays where his heart lay. Shorty is one of Arizona's most skillful COW men and has never, it is said, been thrown by wild horse in contest. He has travelled over Europe with Wild West shows as a rider and has spent several years in the moving picture business, but he always re- turns to the same old haunts in tho end.

the dispute. In case no settlement can be made, the state committee is to report is findings and recommenda- tions to the general committee at Den yer, it's lmendations to form the basis of action by the National or ganization.
 It is planned that those complaints not otherwise disposed of which are of sufficient merit shall be forwarded ing Congress with instructions to take up with the Chief Forester the subject of dispute and if no proper re- dress can be secured, to take the dis pute to a higher authority.
 The Mining Congress believes that the National Forests ought to stimu- late rather than hinder mine devel- opm ent; that the people residing in the communities should feel a warm sympathy for and desire to cooperate with the Forest Service in the proven ton of fires and in the protection of the Forests from devastation of any sort; in other words, that the Forest should serve the highest use of the communities located in the neighbor- ing vicinity and that all unnecessary waste should be prevented, conditions which require a mutual interest be- tween the forest officials and the people.
 It is hoped that through the pro- posed direct contact between the local forest officials and a Mining Congress Committee, a better understanding can be reached, unfair criticism be silenc- ed and fair demands in behalf of the mining men and the community gen. orally may be promptly and cheerfully met.
 We desire that your committee shall make public announcement of it's willingness to investigate any complaint and that you will promise an active effort to redress any proper grievance. To this end you can give assurance that the Ma tional organization will, in every pos sible way, cooperate with you to the end that the National Forests will be an aid to the best development of the mining industry in your, state.
 Very respectfully,
 The American Mining Congress,

 lGentlemen:
 The falling of in metallic mineral production and the general depression of the mining industry in the West should command even more consider ation than has been given the sub iect. Various reasons have been as- signed for this depression and the Directors of the American Mining Congress are planning for committees through which the various causes shall be investigated and an earnest endeavor made to find a remedy for l; improper conditions.
 Many people throughout the West believe that one of the principal causes of this depression is that the Forest Service has interferred with respecting and made difficult or inn possible the securing of title for min eral land within the forest areas. i Whether this is true or not the fact ] that the public mind has, to a large extent accepted these statements has Encouraged prospectors from pursu- ing their efforts within the National Forests although the mineral land laws are in full force there as else [ , Director Graves of the Forest Ser vice expressed a strong desire to meet every proper complaint and to adjust ! 'A in such g way that the Forest Ser ~'ce. instead of being detriment to ~ mining industry will be a real as isistance to it's development:

 United Verde Copper Company Mines and Shelter Plant, Jerome, Ariz MT. c. H. Hinderer,
 Forest Supervisor,
 Prescott, Arizona
 My dear Mir. Hinderer:
 I have been appointed Chairman of the Committee on Forest Relations of the American Mining Congrses and enclose herewith copy of the general report to this Committee from head quarters. This report is self-explan- atory and it is our intention to give the matter as much publicity as pos sible.
 There seems to be false, yet pre- vailing opinion, that the Forest Ser vice is more or less antagonistic to prospectors and it is principally to correct these views and cooperate in every possible way with the prospec- tors and people interested in general
 I have sent copies of this report to various of the newspapers in the StaCe, aSklnS them to give the matter as much publicity as they could We will thank you for any cooperation that might be necessary to give in the future and for any advice or rec ommendation that you may furnish as we are all more or less unfamiliar with the work and realize that you no doubt could give us some valuable advice.
 With kind persnal regards, am,
 Yours very truly,
