knowledqe and Culture.

A great memory does not make a philosopher any more than a dietion ary can be called grammar. There are men who embrace in their minds a vast multitude of ideas, but with little sensibility about their real relations to ward each other. These may be anti quarians, annalists. naturalists; they may be learned in the law; they may be versed in statistics; they are most useful in their own place. should shrink from speaking disrespectfully of them. Still, there is nothing in such attainments to guarantee the absence of narrowness of mind. If they are nothing more than well read men or men of information they have not what specially deserves the name of culture of mind or fulfills the type Of liberal education.-Newman.

GOLD FOUND N
 VEINS oF GOAL
GRAVEL LAYERS ARE RICH
Surveyors in Nenana Field Discover Gravels Lying Between the Layers of Coal Contain Gold in Paying Quantities.

Some of the federal surveyors now in Juneau who ran survey lines for the Nenana and other coal fields in the interior last summer discovered the fact that the layers of gravel con- tain gold. This led to speculation whether these gravel beds might not be worked for the gold in them by hydraulicing them and expecting the coal at the same time.
 So far as known the combination of gold and coal mine would be opened for the first time, in case this could be done with profit.
 The coal at the head of the Nenana and along some of the other streams which head in the Alaska range where it has been crosscut lies in blankets or veins sometimes 30 feet in thickness with layers between of gravel and white sand. Miners in washing the gravels on these streams and sidestreams have made practice of using the' coal for thawing the ground. Moreover, if is known that immense deposits of gold-bearing gravel line along the foothills of the Alaska. range. On the table lands at a higher altitude are miles and miles of fine gravel which have never been even prospected and where white men have seldom visited.
 With the building of the railroad to the Panama and lower rate for transporting heavy mining, machinery and supplies it is believed that great quantities of these goldbearing grav- els may be worked profitably. In the layers between the coal the gold. so far found, is mostly fine or flour gold, but in other adjoining gravel beds where prospecting has been car ried on, the gold is found to be uni form from the surface to bedrock. Therefore, the working of many of the immense deposits would resolve itself into a simple mathematical problem.
 The possibility of gold-bearing lay CTS of gravel between coal veins again suggests what a wonderful country Alaska really is and how little resi- dents themselves may know about the great natural resources that have not even been touched.

Cameens, Who Wrote "The Lusiad,"
 Died In Abject Poverty.
 "The Lusiad" is one of the noblest records ever written of national glory and success.
 Camoens, its gifted author. determin. ed to do for Portugal what Homer had done for Greece. The great poem was written in the sixteenth century, which has been called the heroic age of Por tugal. and its main feature is the rounding of the Cape of Good Hope by Vasco da Cana. while most interest ing episode is the crowning after death of Inez de Castro as queen of Portugal
 "The Lusiad" took it's name from Lusius. who was said to have founded Lisbon. Its author was born about l52O. and his career. which began bril-. liantly. was blighted by the death of a broken heart of the lady of his love, for whose sake he was banished from the land
 Camoens wrote 'The Lusiad" in his banishment and was recalled in 1571. losing on the way all his property ex, cept his poem. Pensioned at first by the king. this great epic poet of Portu. gal died in great poverty and misery in 1870. when his patron was also dead.

FUEL AND HEAT.
And Why . elacksnsd Stow Will Give tho Best Rssults. ~

.. tho Best Rssults. ~,
 The typical household operates on the Init or miss rule of thumb. Effec- tjgemess Is secured either through hap py chance or the coincidence of that rule with some sound principle.
 Why is the stove in the kitchen kept bsack? The United States bureau of standards asserts that not one woman ia ten knows. It says that the reason Is that a blackened stove is the hottest of stoves. A nickel plated stove loses half of its capacity for hotness.
 Do you want your hot water pipes to transfer heat without loss? Black them bright and shining" says the bu- neau. A bright pipe loses less heat than cue insulated in thin asbestos. Pans and pots kept bright stay hot longer than those not so. An ideal kettle is black on the bottom to take heat easily and bright on the sides to keep heat long,
 Fuels are too frequently used with. out understanding of their special fit. nesses for specific purposes. A coal fire takes half an hour of coaxing to proper enthusiasm for frying eggs.
 Many furnaces work better on small than on large coal. which also is more expensive. The heating surfaces and the fues of furnaces should be kept clean. Scot insulates the source of warmth. as if an asbestos mat were put between the stove and the pot of coffee.

CLUB NOTES


Immigrant This subject is especially
timely now in view of the grave situa-
ton that must follow the European
war. when millions of widows and or
thans, as well US of weakened, dis
eascd and crippled men, will doubtless
turn their faces towards our shores.
What is to be done with these people
is a question calling for earnest con-
sidoration on the part of all club
women.
!. Individual Responsibility. The
lcneral federation and state fedora
tions are made up of individual wo.
men. each Of whom owes something to
these organizations. By doing ever
the duty nearest in her home and in
her club, she uncensciously builds
character, and character is the finest
possible foundation for the superstruc-
ture of federation. But she should
take a particular interest in some one
line of federation activity, and be pre-
pared to render service along that line.

Tennessee, through its chief consult

yer, ordered five large centrifugal tur-
bine deep well pumps from the Layro
and Bowler Corporation, for the pur-
pose of dewatering it's largest mine
in Tennessee, Mr.. Mcintosh said:
These pumps are capable of rails
ing 10000 gallons of water per min
ute. Owing to the great demand and
high price of zinc. due to the war,
The mining concern was in urgent
need of the pumps and had them ship
ped to Tennessee from California by
fast express: three entire baggage
cars being necessary to transfer the
pumps and other apparatus
The express charges alone on these
pumps amounted to $13,000.00, but
speed in shipping was of vital impor-
lance as the zinc company lost $4,000
every day the order was delayed.
Work began on the pumps on receipt
of the telephone order and the pumps
we're shipped in the specified time.
Three of the best installing engineers
on the staff of the Layne and Bow
Ter Corporation went to Tennessee
to install these large pumps.

Hayden Happenings

The oldest settler of Winkelman
town as that of last week Hayden
is overcome with sympathy at the
afflictiOn which has overcome her
sister town. At three thirty on We'd
nesday morning many were called out
to assist in rescuing many persons
VINO had been surrounded by the mad
and muddy waters. Among those who
responded to the call for help was
Charles johnson, who haulS ore from
the Copper Creek mines to this place
He brought a load of people to land,
and had nearly reached a place OF
safety when his team took fright and
the wagon upset. Johnson jumped
out and cut the traces, and had the
horses almost loosened when the
wagon and all that was left of it was
swept aWav, carrying johnson with it.
A few of the passengers We're dragged
out almost dead, and four were swept
against fence posts and wires where
they chung for nearly forty minutes,
begging for help. Several attempts
were made to rescue the sufferers, and
one or two men who tried it We're car
ried down the stream way. Finally
two Of the women and two of the men
were swept away. and were never
seen again
During the day reports came in
stating that a large number of per-
sons had been drowned, but later
these We're proven false, although sev-
eral thrilling rescues were made. The
flat was covered with the belongings
Of many homes which had been swept
away. Roofs of houses, fences, ma
chinery, clothing. toys, etc. were all
heaped together in ruined piles. Many
people are left destitute and many
have lost their savings. Business men
have also lost heavily on their stocks
Of goods The calamity would have
teen much greater if the San Pedro
river, which empties into the ella at
Winkelman, had been as high as it
was last year.
Much of the material used in the
construction of the new bridge at
Wirkelrnan was carried off. and the
engine used there also disappeared.
All of the old trees along the ella
above US are gone. Three hundred
feet Of track at Cochran was de-
stroyed and many days will pass DC
fore trains can be run there frora
Phoenix.
The mill was shut down from Tues
Gay until Saturday. Ore trains be-
gan to come in from Ray on Monday
morning, and it is hoped that the

the vicinity of Florence will be re-
raired before all Of the coal and other
supplies are exhausted, Fortunately

waters, and strange looking bottles
floated away, and were swallowed by
the flood or something else.
