GOLD DEVELOPMENT
 FOLLOWS CROWD


 Tho history of Alaska and of nearly an parts of Alaska shows us that min. Ing development follows the crowd, rather chan that people follow the de. yelopment. Dawson, of course. is an example that would go Co prove the rule to be nonresident and the first discoveries al Nome and some other places would aid it. but even in those camps are found circumstances that prove the rule to be general
 The fndng of the first gold ot Dawson was a simple matter The ground where it was found was shat. low. and the same is true at Anvil at Nome. but in both places since have been found rich placers that would never have been seen were it not for the crows brought in by the original discoveries 4 stampede occurred to Fairbanks before pay was found. Hun. dreds of people quit the place in dis. gust but enough remained to work until thc pay was uncovered. A stam. pede to Ruby started on the strength of a few colors found on Long creek. Again people quit and again enough remained to look further and deeper and the result is that Ruby is a pros porous camp today For more than @ quarter of century people have lived around Juneau but it it only now that some rich mines are being open ed up right at the city itself. Nome's really rich ground on the Third Beach line was not found until years after the people had stampeded there This shows what riches might be lying yet in the countless parts of the Terri tory which never had people enticed into them by the easier sort of dis coveres.
 Along the right of way of the gov ernment railroad there are many such places. Within hundred miles of Seward city is territory which has more gold bearing creeks than men, lt is a fact well known to those who have followed the Alaska camps that the smaller the size of claims the greater will be the number of strikes on any creek because of more men win be prospecting In a general sense the facts are about the same Many creeks and camps have been abandoned because not sufficient peo- pie were there to prospect them thor. oughly. Let us say there are thou. sand men in new territory The past has shown us that if they pros pect for months in difficult ground only very few of them will find pay in the beginning but the first strikes win be followed fast by other strikes because each strike gives an idea oi tho best place in whichto sink holes Prospecting is very much like finding and following a poorly defined trail or 8 blazed trail It might take a few months to find the trail but following it when found is comparatively easy The more that are looking for the
 trail the better. and 1t is so with the paystreak.
 Let the railroad bring crowds and the crowds will bring resources Seward Gatcway)

The others were the Connecticut the dread naught Florida, and the superdread- naugh, New York. at present one of largest. swiftest and.most powerful oi American fighting craft. Against the New York's displacement, of 2IO0O tons, however. the Arizona will dis. place 3L40o tons. and will measure 500 feet iu length and 97 feet 6 inch es in width. She will mount twelve gourteen.inch guns Go the ten four. teens carried by the Texas. and they will be carried three to a turret as aboard the Pennsylvania.
 Immediately upon the launching of the Arizona. the keel ot Che navy departments greatest experiment in naval construction. the electrically. driven super-dreadnaught California. will be laid at the New York yard. She will be nearly a thousand tons heag. fer than the Arizona. although carry ing the same equipment and arrange, ment of guns. but is expected to de- velop a great speed than the twenty one knots desired of Che Arizona
 Mechanical Improvements
 Comparing tine most recen, govern ment-built battleship to the first turn. ed out. navy officials point to the fact that although the Arizona has twelve guns 70 the Conuecticuts four and displaces 15.400 tons more water, being nearly twice as large. she will carry only 915 men, as against the l.0l2 needed to handle the smaller ship. This is due to the improvement in mechanical appliances for battle. ships in the last decade. and also to the fact that oil has been substituted for coal as muel decreasing the nee. essary fire-room force. and that only two sizes of guns composes her arm ameni. against the four sizes aboard the Connecticut The result is a re- duction of the ammunition handling forces.

 "A cynical friend told me the oth- CT day that the secret of success was to get name for incorrupdbility and then SO ahead and corrupt it for much gold. I'm sure there's 8 weak spot some where, but judging from good many, both of writers and politicians perhaps there's something in it.

 The appointment of Robert Lans- ing. counselor of the State Depart ment to the position of Secretary of State. ad interim, brings to the im- portant position of premier of the American government man who possesses many interesting quplifica- tons Not only is he a great inter national lawyer but he is probably a more versatile citizen than any other man who has preceded him in that position.
 TO begin with, Mir Lansing has had long experience in international af- fairs. He has represented the United States in more international arbitra- ions than any living American He has appeared more frequently before international tribunals. than any liv- ing lawyer He is writer of books, and is an editor Of the American Jour nal of international Law, to which he has contributed many editorials. arti- cles and book reviews. He is an inde- fatigable worker
 Paints and Writes Poetry
 outside of office hourse. MT. Lans- ing is a painter. a draughtsman. of great ability, a writer of exquisite verse. an ardent fisherman, good golf player and an enthusiastic base ball fan.
 All of these thinks keep Mir Lansing very busy, but it is one of the charac teristics of the new secretary that he is never too busy to smile, never too busy to be courteous and affable There have been in public life men whose smiles have made them fo- nous. but 1t is doubtful if there ever has been one who had more engag ing smile than Robert Lansing The new secretary smiles with his eyes as well as his lipe. He may smile with his eyes and not his lips, but nc neV- CT reverses the process.
 Always self-eOsseseed
 Another thing about the new secre- tary which is conspicuous in these strenuous times is his remarkable self possession. He is always cool and un- ruffled. almost to the point of imper- durability
 The new secretary is handsome man. He is of good height and car riage. with neat graying hair and small gray mustache. always perfect. ly trimmed Furthermore he is one of the best dressed men in public life.
 It is one of the things about Mr. Lansing however. that he never ap-l pears dressed up' The sight of the new secretary in full afternoon garb. ! seated at his desk, working on dip| lomatic document and putting com.E fortably at rich black pipe, is not Washington Star)
