Seward Gateway: From Mile 41 to Mile g on the Alaska Northern railroad about fifty prospectors are now busy following up several veins and lodges that have recently been discovered Some of the lodges are said to be very good. One party is prospecting on the north side of the track, and about half mile from it, near Mile 40 About half a dozen locations have recently been made about one mile south east of the track about opposite Mile 41 or half a mile beyond. A ledge has also been discovered on the east side of the track at Mile A. and a half.
 The first discovery around Mile 40 was made last summer. Quite camp of prospectors is located on the flats about Mile 51. These men are prospecting at the head of Bartlett Glacier at the. foot of which they found rich float On Placer river, about Mile 56, more prospect ors are working. The people out there think they have the continual tion of the Port Wells formation.

for whole year and part of another he played around that district.
 The next year he was with the southern League and it was at Nashville that he came to the prom inent notice of the scouts. At the end of the first season there were five major league clubs fighting for hs services and Cleveland got him.
 He joined Cleveland in the spring training trip. He was too modest and retiring to advertise himself and although he looked good he was sent back after a brief trial
 Three years in succession he was beyond doubt the greatest first baseman in the Southern-and each year he joined the big show and was declared a failure.
 Down in Nashville there was a veteran ball player Cleveland had grown to believe Daubert would nev- CT do. but Brooklyn stepped in and procured him.
 This time Daubert determined to make good. The first day he step ped on the base he started the rush ing attack. Rather to his own sur prise he discovered that the differ ence between the major and minor leaeue Dlayin0 was chiefly in the imagination. He commenced hitting and found that he could bat the pitching of the big league stars al most as well as he could those les ser ones who shine in the smaller lea agues

Want Antimony Mine.

NOME, June 21-Sliscovitch has now a deal pending for his antimony mine at the hands of outside parties who have offered $150,000 for the property. This is pending a suit which will be disposed of in the circuit court of appeals this month or next It seems that antimony is needed badly since the war started, being used extensively in war sup plies, and for this reason there is a bright lookout being kept for prop erty of the kind that indicates eX- tensive deposits.

Broad Pass Strike.

The information was brought on the last boat from Anchorage by a man who does not wish to give his name for publication that placer strike has been made in the Broad Pass country and that about hun dred people have stampeded from Anchorage and the vicinity to the scene of the reported discovery. Very little news has come direct from the Pass for some time. Mining Engineer Dunkle, who, as represen- tative of the Guggenheims went into Broad Pass several months ago, is still there. As he went in February it is assumed that he found the country worth an exhaustive exam nation.-Seward Gateway.

Winter Output Good.


 NOME, June 6.-The output of gold for the winter will be approximately the same as last year, maybe a lit tie more or a little less. All of the banks are now ahead of the amount they had received at this time last year with still considerable quan- tity to come in Mr Bachelder, of the Miners and Merchants Bank es- inmates the winter output as in the neighborhood of $300000 or so. It would be hard to say, it may be considerably more and it may be somewhat less, the full amount de pending entirely upon the quantity of gold yet to be received.
 J. V. Sheldon, of the Alaska Bank and Safe Deposit Co.,, believes that the amount this year will be greater than last year. His bank has also received a much larger amount than they had at this time last year with still further amount to be receiv- tu Tie uoupls Il lhe luli alloulll will be received in time for ship ment on the first fleet. He estimates that the winters output will at least not be less than S300,000, but will in all probability be nearer $350 900 than that. At the time of speaking he was then receiving a | large quantity of gold from miners who brought their cleanup to town

Cobb's Long Record.

From the way he has started out it looks very much as though Ty Cobb planned to make his reputa- tion stick for nine years in row. Until Cobb's day the longest record for continuous position at the bat was held by Hans Wagner, who led his league for four years.
 Beginning his rush the year af- ter-19O7-Cobb has led the bat ting order eight years without a break, doubling Wagner's record, and for a ninth year he is some thing over .450. Beat him? Not with an army corps once he gets in mo- tion.
 From 1900 to 1914 three ball clubs controlled the destiny of the Nation al League-New York, Pittsburgh and Chicago.
 They not only carried away all 13 pennants for that epoch, but were nearly always one, two, three.
 But, as affairs now look, a sable cloud has come across the day of their glory The under dogs have developed a bite Boston broke the spell last July, and there's a strik- 1 ing possibility now ahead that not over one of the oldtime triple rul- CTS will finish in the first division. 1 All this is logical enough. Weak ness and general decay nearly al ways follow in the path of success. The greatest trainer for the future is the hard luck that develops a capacity for fortitude against fate. | The air that one breathes at the top is generally too rich for the system in the way of further devel- opment.
 According to the late MT. Newton practically everything that goes up ! has to come down.
 l On what scientific plateau, then, does he array Ty Cobb, who went up nine years ago, and has never come down since?

Jap Good Player.

NEW YORK.-Baseball and golf do not mix, say some. Some opine that they do. The question has to do with whether or not a batter's eye is benefited or injured by play ing golf The majority opinion however, has been favorable to the Scottish game. Now comes another angle to this same question. Koj Yamada. the noted Japanese billiard ist declares that his "cue' eye is materially benefited by playing golf
 What other athletic diversions do you engage in to keep your health during your strenuous days on the green-clothed table," was the purport of a question put to Yamada by an interviewer.
 Golf" was the answer. q play the game of golf whenever can so arrange my affairs" added the Japanese whose reputation as cueist ranks him with the most prominent billiard players in the United States
 Yamada went on to explain that when he once started on golf he was loath to give it up. and he had frequently played 36 to 54 holes a day. He added that after a 54-hOlc day he has gone into an important billiard battle in the evening
 And the keenness of my eyes on the table game was much improved by these rounds of golf he assured the interviewer.
 One is tempted to think that Va mada must have remarkable amount of stamina if he can play three rounds of golf and then take part in a nerve-racking test of skill with the cue and ivories His eX- planation that he has much sue cess on the putting greens" is a statement not difficult of apprecia- tion by the average golfer.

FEDERAL INDUSTRIAL

The recent investigation of the

extremes of society and has given the
public an opportunity to view the rep.
resentatives of distinct classes, side

parallel columns.
Capital and labor have always been
glaring at each other over CULTS OF
Misunderstanding and If the Federal
Industrial Commission attempts to
bridge the chasm, it will render the
public distinct service.
The farmer has bern sitting on the

The love for justice makes the
whole world kin. Understanding is an
arbiter far more powerful than the
mandates Of government, for there is
no authority quite SO commanding as
an honest conscience; there is no de.
cree quite so binding as that of the
Supreme Court of Common Sense and
no sheriff can keep the peace quite SO
perfect as Understanding.
We suppose the time will never
come when capital and labor will not
be occasionally blinded by the light

by the thunder peals of discomfort.
But Understanding is a Prince of
Peace that ever holds out the olive
branch to men who want to do right.

thing for in it are the hope, ambition
and opportunity of himself. and fam

Why not fight fires before they
