Mining in ToIovana District, Alaska.

During 1914 'anG 1915 hundreds of people attracted by the reported find ing of gold in the headwater region of TcloVana River in central Alaska rushed into the district, and system atic mining began there during the summer of 1915. Although consider able prospecting was done only about 10 mines were commercially produc- tive. but these made a gold output to the value of $50, 600. Gold bearing gTavcls occur in the beds of the pres
 ent streams, in buried channels, and
 in bench gravels, but most of the gold has been won from the deep channels on LiVengood Creek, which have proved to pe far richer than either the stream or the bench placers. Some shallow placers have also yielded gold, notably on Olive Creek, but only pros- poets have been found in the benches.
 A report by A II. Brooks entitled ''PreIirninary Report on the Tolovana District, Alaska,'F has been issued re- gently by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, as Bulletin 642-G, in which the facts known about this new district are stated and the general relations are Illustrated ny a map.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Love and Loyalty to Country Urged.
Love and loyalty-love of country
and loyalty to her every interest" was
defined as patriotism by Rev. Lewis ].
O'Hern, c. S. p, of st. PauIs college,
who represents the Catholic Hierarchy
in the appointments of Catholic chap
lains to the army and navy, in an
address which he delivered at the
Thanksgiving exercises, held in the
government printing office, on We'd
nesday, Nov. 29th.
These exercises took place on the
massive marble stairway of the big,
print shop, and were attended by the
four thousand employees.
AS to patriotism, Father O'Hern
said further, Love tender as that of
a son for his mother, strong as an
army set in array; loyalty, generous
and disinterested, shrinking from no
sacrifice, seeking no reward save the
nations honor and the cOuntrys good"
ut is the very essence of unselfish-
ness, for the patrl6t puts aside his
own interest when the welfare of his
country is at stake"
In opening his address Father
O'Hern congratulated the employees of
the place on the magnificent object les
son they were Offering the community
of obedience to the voice of "our chief
executive" in assembling there for the
exercises. For it is in response to
the proclamation of His Excellency,
the President of the United States,
that you are gathered here to render
thanks to God for the manifold bless
ings received during the past year, as
individuals and as a nation" he said
And after all how fitting thing, is
it not, that our President should set
apart one day out of the three hundred
and siXty-five on which to render
thanks to Him from whom all bless
ings flow? And if so, should not each
one of us respond heartily to that
appeal, and Cry out from the bottom
most depths of our hearts, with the
royal psalmist: What shall render
to the Lord for all the things that He
hath rendered unto me?' How fitting,
then, that we should return thanks for
every blessing, great or small.
Last and greatest of alb we should
be thankful that we are at peace, in
the midst of great world war. The
flrebrands of war are now upon the
earth, spreading death and destruction
as never before since brother first
lifted up his hand against brother
These burning brands have not yet
reached our shores. God grant that
they may not! God grant that Amer
lea may yet be permitted to play the
role of peacemaker, and that it may
be said of us Blessed are the peace
makers, for they shall be called the
children of Cod"
The address closed with an appeal
for righteousness in the lives of all
true Americans as the only foundation
of national stability.
Cornelius Ford, the public printer,
presided at the exercises, and this is
said to be the first time that a Catholic
priest delivered a Thanksgiving ad-
dress in government building at

property OF any Protestant children at
any time, nor ever destroyed any. I
wish to say that never, while princi-
pal of any school, had l anything
whatever to say in regard to the flu
ture life of children dying in infancy"
But this story, in regard to which
Miss Lovett was officially exonerated,
published in the Jeffersonian, caused
such a furore as to compel her resig-
nation in the school where she was
teaching. She had been there for over
eight years, having built up the school
from the beginning. in June" she
says, "the condition grew so ihtoler-
able. and the agitation through the
Jeffersonian had SO famed the people
that couldn't stand it any longer and
asked to be removed. l was sent to
another section OF the country to an
other school-a Presbyterian section
and they refused to have me. I.
was then transferred to another sec
ton Of the country, to take still an
other school. The community was
made up of Methodists and Baptists"
Here Methodist minister aroused the
community and they refused to accept
her.
And thus things went on until she
was obliged to accept position as a
supernumerary, working only here and
there, to fill in where there is a va
cancy or need for extra work. The fact
that she and her sister are obliged
to teach in order to help widowed
mother and another sister does not
make the situation brighter for her.
And all of this came through Mr.. Wat
sons insane delusions. which unhap
PLY are shared by many in the state
of Georgia., and to aid the candidacy
OF his camp followers in the late cleo
tons!
This shows very distinctly the blind
injustice which bigotry produces. 1t
should serve to warn those who are
inclined to allow this dangerous form
of mania to disturb them to hasten,
in consideration for their fellows, to
shake it off. Such propaganda will
not aid in raising the life and happi-
ness of the people. 1t will only lead
to fresh hatred and fresh injustices.
1t is to be hoped that the American
people. whose heart after all is in
the right place, will not permit this
canker to spread among them, but
will see it's evil effects and will pluck
it out. Even someday, it is to be
fondly trusted, Mr. Watson's delusions
will be comprehended by his still more
deluded followers. Stone throwing
after all in any case never pays in the
long run.

James Cardinal Gibbons,

Archbishop of Baltimore.
NY Lord Cardinal: Profound COM
passion of father has again moved
our heart, when we read an important
letter recently sent to us by the dis
tinguished chairman of the praise
worthy Commission for Relief in Bel
gium," describing in few words, yet
showing proof Of most terrible reality,
the pitiable situation of numerous Bel
gian children who, during two sad
years, have been suffering from the
lack of that proper nourishment nee
essary to sustain the tender existence
of budding childhood.
In most moving terms the Chairman
has described how so many desolate
families, after having given every
thing humanity possible to give, now
find themselves with nothing left with
which to appease the hunger Of their
little ones.
He has made us see, almost as il
they were passing before these very
eyes, dimmed with tears, the long
file, continuously increasing, OF Bel
gian infants waiting for their daily
distribution of bread; unhappy little
ones whose bodies, emaciated by lack
of proper nutrition, bear not infre-
quently the impress OF some deadly
sickness brought about by their fail
ure to receive the food which children
of their age require.
In his letter the chairman has told
illness, his commission, displaying the
very best of good will and stopping at
no sacrifice, has arranged for the dis
tribution to the children of a daily
supplementary meal. He sorroWfully
adds, however, that unhappily owing
to insufficient means, the commission
has found itself unable to prepare and
supply such extra food to all the
babies who have need of it.
In this emergency the worthy chair
man has turned his thought and his

words to you, My Lord Cardinal, and
through you, to the illustrious men,
bers of the American Episcopate, to
the Clergy and to every generous
heart; but particularly to those chill
dren of America upon whom is based
every hope of success for the plan
devised by this benefcent institution.
Neither do we doubt, in truth, but
that the happy children of America,
without distinction OF faith or Of
class, at this approach of another win
ter which it is announced will be even
more severe and painful than the two
preceding years, will vie, in their in
nocent pride, with each other to be
able to extend to their little brothers
and sisters of the Belgian nation, even
though across the immense ocean, the
helping hand and the offerings of that
charity which knows no distance. Z.
The words of our Divine Redeemer:
LAS long as you did it to one of these
my least brethren, you did it to Me"
Matthew, XIV, 400, SO appropriately
brought to mind in these circum-
stances, are Il sure pledge of heavenly
pleasure and reward; while we feel
likewise, how greatly, in this period
of atrocious fratricidal carnage, even
in the eyes Of the world, are en-
nObled the people of more fortunate
lands by the performance of true and
loving deeds and by the pouring of a
little balm upon the wounds Of those
less fortunate.
In the full faith that Your Emil
hence, eflicaciously aided by all, ac-
cordng to their means and strength,
will do as much as may be in your
power to favor this initiative, in proof
of the loving interest which we have
for it's successful outcome, we send to
you enclosed our contribution of ten
thousand lire, which gift, il it be in
adequate to the needs of the occasion
and appears slight in itself, is not
however such, when one considers the
condition of this Apostolic See in the
present unhappy moment.
At the same time, while being par
ticularly happy to represent upon this
earth that Jesus who was the Divine
Friend of little children, we invoke
from our heart upon all those who
shall second and aid this noble and
delicate undertaking an abundance of
blessings and heavenly rewards, of
which is a pledge the Apostolic Bene
diction which, with very special affec
ton we impart to you, My Lord Car.
