UNEMPLOYED TURN

Canadians Are Sure of CIeaninu Up a Fair Daily

EDMONTON, Alta, Sept 5.-scores of men, working with "grissliesp and rans, gre scattered along the banks of the saskatschwan River. which bi. sects Edmonton, washing gold from the gravel an dsand on the bars. The daily cleanup ranges from $2 to s4 man. Experienced miners are di- rectns the work, which is designed Co sclya he unemployed problem dur. to solve the unemployed problem dur. ing the next three months.
 "The plan, which was suggested by Dr. w. D. Ferris, will give employ. ment to several thousand fen within the city limits and as many more up and down the river" said VI. S. Booth. commissioner of safety and health. Tt has been taken up by some of the oid'timers, who washed out from $40. 900 to S5O000 in gold each season in the early '90s. when Edmonton was q village. and they are giving their ser. vices in teaching the men to work the 'grisslies.' Placer miners say that the aWest tenderfoot should make from $1.75 to $25O a day"
 A gravel combanv. which has been operating in the Saskatchewan r.yer since territorial days, using a steam dredge to take the gravel from the beds end bars, takes out thousands of dollars in flQr gold each season The fine particles of the precious metal are caught in wolen blankets after passing into the rifles.

Huff, who has ep. gagged in the work for a dozen years 'lt is in fine dust and requires some patience to separate it The suppIv IS practically inexhaustible. as high water in the spring brings more flour gold down from the mountains than can be taken out in any single eoa. son.

REVIEWS, MINES, MINING; AUGUST OUTPUT
Arizona Farms Were First
 Made Possible By Miners
Old Timers Who Came into the tate and First Developed Mines Are Men Who Made the RO oseyet Dam and the Salt
 River Valley arm DstfSts

It was the mines which gave agri- culture it's first start in Arizona. It is the mines which afford the great est market TOT the farm products of the State at the present time. Sta tistics show that the mines are in. creasing their output yearly and add ing thousands to their payrolls all the time For this reason, it is prob ably true that for several generations the mine workers will continue to be the greatest consumers of the pro- ducts of the farms Of this entire sec tion. c. B Genung recently outlined the enormous service to the State Of the mining interests in an article in which he said
 'The gold of Weaver. Rich Htl and the Vulture mines builded the first ditch and provided means for the first settlers to support themselves until they could raise a crop That first crop consisted principally of pump kins The Vulture and Wickenburg were their only market except what barley the government used at Mo Dowell for the first two or three years Then they began to send little flour to Prescott and most of that was consumed by miners. Then came the Tip-Top. Tiger, Black War rior and other mines of the nrad- shaws to help the others af.er the closing down of the Vulture in 1871.

This held until the mine was closed down for want of fuel. Then came Diamond Joe who bought the Con gress and said he would build a rail way to wood. which he proceeded TO do
 'l doubt if there would have been a Phoenix today. or any other town in the Salt River valley if the Vulture mine had not been found Neither would the Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix Railroad have been built to the Congress had not been worked to a depth of TAO feet through a high grade of gold ore before Frank Mur- phy took Diamond Joe to examine it. Nor would the A. & C. Railway have been built had there been no mines and mining country between Wicken- burg and the Colorado River"
 The great smelters at Jerome. and Clarkdale, the railroads leading to them and opening up the farms in the neighboring valleys, and the armies of men employed who insure a home market for the products of the farms, tell much of the story of the development of agriculture in Yayapai county during the past few years and account for the fact that the assessable value of the county has increased from $g.OOO.OOO to S39OOO,0OO in five years

BATTLE OVER ARMAMENT
FERMENTING IN ENGLAND
Foes and Friends of Increased Naval
Expenditures Lay Plans
for Campaign.
Correspondence of Tie Star

LONDON. January II, 1914.
Both sides to the controversy over ma
uonal ornaments are planning platform
campaigns for the exposition OF their
views. The national peace council. which
includes many liberal members of parlia-
ment and Is Opposing any increase in the
naval estimates. already has held several
meetings. a great demonstration, organ
lied by the committee for the reduction
of ornaments, is planned at Queens Hall
February 3, and from then on the little
navyites" will hold meetings throughout
the country.
This is not the first time that liberal
economists have threatened revolt against
the government over the naval estimates.
In 1909 committee consisting of IA lib
eral and labor members Of parliament
started an agitation against the estimates
of that year On that occasion Premier
Asquith took a firm stand and the agita-
ton soon died down. This committee has
been revived in the reduction of arma-
ments committee, which already claims
membership of 100 liberal members of
parliament. The movement has been
given an impetus from the declaration OF
Lloyd George against the heavy burden
of ornaments.
The other side. however. Is not idle.
The Navy League, a permanent and in
!ueltlal organization, although liberals
have sometimes complained of political
bias Oh its part, has issued an appeal to
the mayors throughout Great Britain to
assist them in the organization of meet
ings to place the gravity of the problem
of naval defense before the people. A
manifesto entitled THE Conspiracy
Against National Safety" has been issued
and speakers have been appointed to GO
through the country urging electors to
impress upon their members the necessity
of maintaining the navy at its present
ratio of increase.

GENEVA, January 20 1914.
Two distinguished French scientists,
Nm. Nallot and Raoul Bayeux, have re-
Gently concluded some curious expert
Inents in the observatory on the summit
of Mont Blanc, with the object of test
ing the influence of rarefied air on the
muscular and nervous systems
For this purpose they employed a full
grown. healthy squirrel, which was placed
on a revolving wheel. which In turn was
attached to Il delicate instrument Ike a
taXimeter to mark every revolution. At
Chamonix it was found that the squirrel
made Goo revolutions q day, but on
Mont Blanc only 900. When the little an
imal was brought down to Chamonix
again 1t made 1890 revolutions on the
wheel for the first day. and the number
gradually increased.
The experiments prove that high alti-
tudes and rarefed air have q great and
lasting influence on the body above 1900
feet, and that -Alpinists, before undertake
ing high climbs, should undergo a medical
examination. These experiments may ac-
count for several inexplicable deaths in
the higher Alps.

Mr. Baker from the Yankee fighters.
However, the Sydney promoter may rest
assured that he will be given the glad
hand by the American boxing fraternity,
for his fame has travelled before him.
Frequently a boxer will lose a contest
because he is put down for the tenth
count and cannot recover in time to re-
new the battle, but it Is seldom that
fighter will lose contest by being count
ed out while trying to obey the commands
of his seconds This is what happened TO
Eddie Gordon, a Milwaukee lightweight,
according to his manager, Fred Evans.
when he fought Ever Hammer. the CHI
cago lightweight, before club at Racine,
Wis. last week. In the first round Ham
mer nut over a right-hand walop and
sent Eddie to the canvas. He started to
get up at the count of two when his
manager motioned him to do so. but one
of his seconds yelled for him to take the
count of nine before getting up. as he
thought his man had been daZed by the
blow. Gordon remained down for what
he thought was the count OF nine, but
evidently he missed one stroke OF Ref
cree Stouts arm. for the latter waved
him to his corner when he did arise, stat
ing that he had been counted out. 1T
was a clear case of missing the count
said Manager Evans after the contest.
although l do not think that the ref
cree intended to give us any the worst
Of it. Gordon was just as bright when
he arose to renew the battle as when he
started, but in staying down after his
second yelled for him to do so, he must
have missed the count and arose just one
second too late. To prove that it was
fiuke. We would like to meet Mr.. Ham
mer again on winner-take-all basis.
From the easy manner III which Mr..
Hammer won. it is very probable that he
will be glad to renew the acquaintance
OF Mr.. Gordon. II they should meet it IS
a good bet that there Will be an extra
man on hand to watch for knockdowns
and see that the count is not misunder-
stood.

XII.-Efforts for Economy.

By Frederic J. Haskin.

Economy and efficiency are the tradi-
tional watchwords of the American po-
utical party that does not happen to be
in control of the government Happily
blessed with Increasing revenues, no adj
ninistration for great period has been
compelled to retrench. All representatives
and senators are under constant pressure
to obtain generous appropriations for
their constituencies, and fatal cohSe-
auences sometimes are visited upon the
legislator who fails to prove himse1 q
good "getter'' He who seeks Il posi-
office building for his own district is NIUE
disposed to oppose the granting OF an
other to his colleague or to antagofilze
the leaders who might thwart this pur-
pose The appropriations, therefore
steadily increase. and all the lnliueiices
exerted in behalf Of economy seldom 90
more than bring the expenditures Jus'
within the revenues.
But while they vote larger ana lalset
annual grants from the pnbnc pun
practically all legislators agree that the
advancing cost of government is the most
serious problem before the halloh. opo
