LlTuNA GOLD CAN BE

That the sold contained in the ruby sands Of Iituya Bay is highly oxidiaed and will not stick to blanket or riff. fie plate. is the belief Of Frank F, Cook. well known mining man of Spokane and Juneau. who has just returned from 8 trip to mining prop erty there in which he is interested.
 T think about half Of the gold is going over the plates and is lost" said Mir. Cook this morning. The gold is very fine and believe it is heavily oxidiaed which accounts for it's flowing over the plates made tests of number of places where Sluice boxes were being used In nearly every instance. by banning the tailings. We could get extremely good results
 T have been Investigating the sand of Iituya Bay for number Of years. and have samples of the sands from there with me now and l will ship N4-C4AA RNANN ACA SSStS RCAtCfC NAsAe to recover the fine gold it will be necessary to use machinery. l have an idea that by using eoncentrator tables of certain make and then treating the concentrates. much gold can be recovered which is now being wasted.

 For more than half century, save for the respite afforded by one dicta- torship of DiaK, we have been subject to alarms about Mexico. The people of that country have destroyed the property and lives of Americans with. in its borders to whom they owed pro tection. they have made forays across the border and slain our citizens and our soldiers on our own soil. We went to war to end the hell on earth that prevailed in Cuba. with immeasurable benefit to the people on that island . The time has come to consider wheth- ] CT we ought not for our own peace and tranquility to take like measures with the Mexieans. They are incap- able of setting up government that can enforce the laws and maintain or. der, The adventurers who came to the fore as a result of their outbreaks and revolutions are weak and worth, less We have learned to our cost that there is not one among them who can be trusted.

much space to discussion OF the

Many Changes in the
Russian Council Of
Ministers Since War

Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)
Petrograd, Aug. 15.-The recent
resignation of S. D. Sazonoff, for six
years minister of foreign affairs in
Russia, and the resignation Of A. N.
Naumoff as minister of agriculture, to
be succeeded by Count Bobrinsky,
makes the nineteenth change in the
council of ministers since the begin
ming OF the war, and leaves P. L. Bark,
minister Of finance, and L. K. Gregor-
ovitch, minister of marine, the sole
survivors OF the original thirteen
members of the cabinet who held Of
flee in August, 1914.
This record is remarkable in coun-
try where constitutional government
has never developed beyond the en-
bryo, where ministerial responsibility,
general elections, votes of confidence
and other parliamentary procedures,
which lead to the overthrow of entire
ministries, are unknown. Before the
war the average tenure of office was
long, but during the last two years it
mas pccil llCdsuICu W iiOulilo aiu
sometimes by weeks. 1t is also in
teresting that the frequent resigna-
tons and dismissals have in the main
borne no relation to party politics and
that men have been replaced by Others
of the same party affiliations and
without any conspicuous difference in
political views. !
In the case OF each dismissal there
has been a complete change in the
personnel OF the department and the
ministry of finance lis the only one
which has not been upset by an almost
continuous series Of appointments,
dismissals and reappointments.
During the period of the war there
have been two prime ministers. two
foreign ministers, three war ministers
and five ministers of the interior.
The ephemeral character of min
isterial post in Russia has provoked
considerable comment, for the most
part facetious or satarical, in the Rus
sian press. in the morning, when
they wake up" says writer in the
Russky Sloys, "all our ministers do
the same thing. Each one exclaims
Thank God! am still minister"

the concept that labor was commod-

ers have tried to repress efforts OF
workers for progress and for larger
liberty by furnishing these efforts un-
der antitrust legislation and by at
tempting to restrain them through
the injunctive process. II was to pro-
tect the workers against these abuses
and to establish recognition Of the
concept that the workers and all Of
their attributes were human, that the
labor sections Of the Clayton act were
enacted. In addition to these big
achievements many other important
humanitarian laws have been enacted
by congress, increasing in number
with every session Of congress since
