Oils Go to Waste.

"They are pumping three wells and
making $4,000 gallons of gasoline a
month, while about 10000 gallons of
kerosene and other Illuminating oils
are allowed to go to waste. because
they have no means of conserving 1t.
The plant is small two-by-four af-
fair that cost about $4,000. The para
fine and lubricating oil around the
plant is a foot thick on the ground.
The little plant manufactures all the
gasoline used in that part of the
country. There is only one man and
boy drilling. They are without
money to buy proper equipment, but
are getting along as best they can.
II never saw a sadder sight in my
life than the former camp of the So
called English Coal Company. The
company put up fine, comfortable
buildings, built miles and miles of
trails and roads, but the whole thing
is deserted and going to wreck and
ruin. Ten or twelve miles of railroad
track has become two streaks of
rust.
"All of this waste was wrought by
the withdrawal of the coal lands and
the fight put up by the conservation
lists against the granting of patents.
There are still few people at Ka-
talla-hanging on in the hope that
the dreams of riches which they once
saw in the magnificent resources
around them will come true. But
they are pretty badly discouraged,
and in the meantime officials of the
general land office are going through
the travesty of 'adjudicating' the
Alaska coal claims. The conserva-
tiopists caused the confiscation of
those claims years ago, but the Of
ficials are still going through the
mummery of trying the cases."
Joslin says that despite the handi-
caps placed in the way of develop
ment by the government, Alaska is
prospecting as a whole, but there are
a few places like Katalla, where the
people have become broken hearted
and discouraged while waiting for
action.

MEXICAN POLICY
UNCLE SAM IS
DEFENDED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4. - The ad-
ministration's reply to those who
criticise the recognition of the Car
rama government in Mexico because
of charges of outrages upon priests
and nuns of the Catholic Church, was
made public in letter by Secretary
Tumulty to DR.. James J. Mcclure,
of Trenton, N. j., who recently wrote
to the White House, asking an ex-
PLANTATION of what he characterized
as widespread criticism"
Secretary Tumulty advised DR.. Nc
CURE that the files of the State De-
partment failed to disclose any Off
cial record of single proven case
of outrages upon nuns and he in
cluded in his letter a statement by
the Catholic vicar-general at Mexico
City, which, while disclosing the
shooting of priests and the expulsion
and Imprisonment of others, declared
there had been no violations of nuns
in that district. ....
Counsel and sympathy are needful
and would be merciful now, because
they would be of wonderful efficacy
in uniting the people of Mexico in
the work of reconstruction" wrote
Mr.. Tumulty. efforts to arouse ran
corous feelings among them will have
the effect of opening anew the
wounds which should be healed, and
of creating an open sore to torture
that poor people as long as their
minds are kept inflamed against
their brethren"
Emphasis was laid on the recogni.
ton of Carranza by the Latin Amer
lean countries, which Joined in the
Pan-American peace conferences. All
of these Latin American countries,
Mr.. Tumulty pointed out, were Cath.
olic' nations.
Finally a statement was repro.
duced, which was given the State
Department by Eliseo .Arredondo, the
Washington representative of Gem
eral Carranza, last October, pledging
the Carranza government to respect
everybody's "life property and reli.
gious beliefs"

[ACK|NAW MINE
SOON READY To
SHIP ORE

J. E. Mcfarland, who is connected
with the Lakinaw Copper Mines, near
Long Lake, is in town, and will take
the first steamer on a short business
trip to the States.
He reports that recent work on
their copper claims has disclosed, in
two new cuts ON one of the groups
of the properties. high grade bornite
and chalcocite copper ore from two
to five feet in width, not heretofore
exposed. The vein is of from 600 to
800 feet in known length. with a
"gouge" line of demarkation. Work
has progressed so satisfactorily that
the shipment of ore will begin with
in thirty days, or as soon as a good
winter trail can be built from the
mine to the Copper River railroad.
This interior property is being de-
veloped on a rather unique plan, ORR
ginated by J. L: Harper, a mining
man of Washington state. There is
no company. no corporation, no stock
and in fact nothin gto sell. The plan:

was prepared after members Of the
committee had held conference with
Secretaries McAdoo and Redfield, IN
which the whole matter was gone
over, and certain Objectionable fea-
lures in the measure which failed of
passage at the previous Congress, ELI
minated. The new measure has sew
eral radical provisions, differing from
the previous bill, one of which is an
appropriation of fifty million dollars
to be used for the building Of mer-
chant ships, which would be available
as naval auxiliaries in time of war.
The bill also creates federal board,
with jurisdiction over deep water
traffic similar to that exercised by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
over the railroads of the country. The
measure will be made party one,
and the administration will bring all
its influence to bear to wipe out the
opposition which the measure met
with in the Senate last year. Secre-
tary Redfield is confident that the
proposed bill will go a long way in
relieving the extraordinary conditions
that have almost paralyzed the ex-
port Of American goods, as evidenced
by the tremendous amount of freight
piled up in the Atlantic terminals of
the railroads, where bottoms cannot
be secured to take the stuff to Eu-
rope.

THE MEMORY OF
FLEETING DAYS
Written for THE EVENING JOUR
NAL by James I. Crozier.

That l have gone past the mark four
score
Seems hardly like truth to me.
1t appears only just few years; no
more,
Since I knelt at my mothers knee.
And repeated that sweet little child
like prayer
While her hand was upon my head,
Her face and her form; l can see as
it were.
Though year after year has since
fled
Yes. tbs many years since she said
goodbye.
/ can still see her face so plain,
But the promise is mine, if faithful,
Some day shall meet mother again.
Then memory goes back to my youth
full days,
And how short does it seem to be
Since l played Il spy" and other
boys played.
All gone except One-besde me-
Then another dear one, now under
the sod,
When first saw her but ten years
old,
Said goodbye to me, and went home
to her Cod
Her memory more precious than
gold.
l. does not seem long. though years
have gone by
Since begged her to just press my
hand;
1t could not be done could not even
try;
She had gone to that heavenly land.
How thankful l am that I'm trusting
in Him
As the years are swift passing away.
Who shed His own blood to cleanse
me from sin.
I shall see His dear face some day.
7 am safe in His keeping. though
nearing the end.
And my prayer is that | shall retain
That sweet blessed hope till I meet
with that friend
And see my own loved ones again.

grand duke are within forty-nve

Apparently this situation developed
