PIacers Mined as Heavy Rains Fall

Arrivals from Stanton, report that placer country as swarming with activity, and since daily rains had at work in groups of two at dozens of places. Some are banning, others had improvised rockers, while along Weaver gulch several are sluicing Wherever pool had been formed from the heavy rains, men could be seen washing the gravel, and the scene was a very interesting one as very many years when the ground could be worked by this method.
 The road leading out of Congress Junction and near Stanton, seemed to be the favOrite locality, and one of the advantages was the surface gave good returns. The summit of Rich Hill was again the point where the yellow metal were reported as gratifying. One Mexican picked up a s55 nugget, and several hundred dol lars in coarse gold was washed out from that point, where in early days half a million was to it's credit The fifty or more Mexicans along Weaver gulch continue to make a living by placering and since the big rains have fallen all seem to be prospering. The influx to the Stanton country is attributed to many miners being out of work since quartz mines had cur tailed their forces.

Alaska's Brighter Day

Congress, in an incredibly short space of tiu,e, has passed the bill for the construction of a government rail- road in Alaska.
 This means che opening of Alaska the placing of the vast resources of the territory within reach of development. It is to be taken for granted, of course, that the supplemental legislation, still pending, will, when enacted, be in keep ing with the policy and purpose of the chief measure and thus make sure the fullest possible measure of construc tive development.
 Of secondary importance only to Alaska has been the educational cam paigu coiucident with the work for needed legislation. lts value cannot be overestimated. Without it Alaska would still be waiting and its hopes deferred TO the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, which, through it's Alaska bureau. has conducted an unceasing campaign of enlightenment for three years past, credit is largely, if not wholly due. That body, by unremit ting effort, finally drove home the truth about Alaska, and thus made remedial measures irresistible. The sue cossful campaign at Washington in recent months, in which the admins tratiou has cooperated so heartily and helpfully is but the culminatiou of ed ucational efforts ably initiated before congress two years ago by a chamber delegation headed by the late Senator John l.. Wilson.
 Alaska will now quickly witness a transformation. Honest capital will find a field for profitable investment; the sturdy pioneer reward for hardship and industry; and Alaska, at last, known to the world, will establish proud place on the worlds map. This is what it all means.-P.L

Panama Plant for Alaska

When the work of actual construc- tion commences on the Alaska railroad the popular anticipation is that the plant which has been assemb bled at Panama will be largely used in the work, and also tbat the equipment for the new railroad will be, to large ex. tent, that for which there will be no longer use at Panama after the canal is opened.
 There are about 250 large sized loco- motives at Panama, with rolling stock proportioned. Only a few of these will be needed for the Panama railroad itself after construction work ceases on the canal. Naturally it is thought that those locomotives could readily be transferred Q Alaska.
 The trouble is that the Panama rail road was originally built before the standard gauge had beeu adopted for the railroads of this country. The road was therefore built of Ave foot gauge, while the standard gauge, later adopt ed, is feet 81a inches When the rail- road was reconstructed as one of the preliminaries for digging the canal, for some reason, not clearly understood, the old gauge was retained, thus neces- sitating the construction work, and certainly it would have added but little to the cost to have made it a standard road
 None of this equipment will be avail able for use in Alaska, unless it may be considered advisable to make it of the same gauge as tbe Panama road.

Great Virtue.

There is no greater everyday virtue
than cheerfulness. This quality in
woman is like sunshine to the day, or
gentle renewing moisture to parched
herbs. The light of a cheerful face
diffuses itself and communicates the
happy spirit that inspires it.
The sourest temper must sweeten
in the atmosphere of continuous good
humor. AS well might fog and cloud
and vapor hope to cling to sun-illum-
ined landscape as "the blues" and
moroseness to combat jovial speech
and exhilarating laughter.
There is no path but will be easier
travelled, no load but will be lighter.
no shadow on heart or brain but will
lift sooner in the presence of a de-
termined cheerfulness. 1t may at
times seem difficult for the happiest
tempered to keep the countenance of
peace and content, but difficulty will
vanish when we truly consider that
sullen gloom and passionate despair
do nothing but multiply thorns and
thicken sorrows.

by an ever-growing circle of friends
and near friends, and to his panied
surprise, the Watermelon was the ad-
on him much as the general did, not
so much as a man but as a character
out of the Sunday supplement. Bored
to exhaustion, he shook hands Imply
Imply with a score or more whom he
did not know and did not want to
know.
1t was getting late and he would
have to return the clothes and be-
come once more merely the Water
melon. He had forgotten the beauty
show and had no heart for it now
When he left Billy nothing more
counted, nothing mattered. Old
clothes or good, hobo or millionaire,
without Billy, one was as desirable as
the other. He would return the clothes
and beat it up the line that evening.
James and Mike could go to grass.
Meanwhile, instead of getting the
most out of the short space of time
allotted to him and having Billy alone
somewhere, here he was shaking
hands with a frowsy bunch of high
brows
The Watermelon looked around, des-
perately, miserably. Billy was gazing
at him from the edge Of the crowd,
awe fighting with admiration and
amusement on her small face. Henri
eta had presented him gaily, to this
one and that, and the general, thor
oughly in his element, stood by and
showed him off as though he were a
new horse or the latest model motor
car.
How could you tear yourself away
from the Street," asked one impress
sionable young thing
Il don't know" said the Water
melon. wall Street is practically my
home" And he gozed languidly over
their heads into the trees across the
road.
"Oh, Mr.. Bachelor, do you think the

inquired one of his new friends. $50

Henrietta laughed. Poor Mr.. Bat

He glanced again at Billy. The
clock in the garage struck two and
he hesitated no longer. my car" he
muttered vaguely, and made for the
steps. He ran down them and started
around the hotel toward the stables.
AS he passed near the place where
Billy stood, he looked up straight into
her eyes.
Aren't you coming to see my car
Billy?" he asked, the odd little name
below his breath, so that even she did
not hear
''Oh, yes, indeed" said Billy.
He caught her hands and swung her
down to the lawn beside him.
At the garage they did not stop.
The Watermelon heard the general
painting behind in the distance, but
he did not pause. Ungratefully he
led the way down a narrow path
around the stable, into the deep, cool
shade of the woods. 1t was two. He
would give himself until the clock
struck three, before he skunk away

asked, leaning toward him, one hand
resting on the log between them, her
steady eyes on his face.

presented it to her with flourish.
