AH ls a
 Juneau, Alaska EY1 HAVE just returned from a lWI trip through what promises k to be one of the most famous vSeHS&l gold mines of the world
 have ridden through its miles of tunnels behind an electric engine, and have walked through the mighty caverns. called stopes, where they are blasting down the ore and dropping it into the cars for the mills. I have gone through the new crushing and reduction works, the latest of their kind, and have seen, as it were the mechanical triumph of the twentieth century in saving the riches hidden in the bowels of the earth
 The greatest mines of today are those which deal with low grade ores. This is so of the gold mines of the Rand in South Africa. It is so of the largest copper mines of the Rockies and of the Treadwell mines. which lie within a rifle shot of where I am writing l have told you how the Treadwell prop critics have already produced $600OO 900 of pure gold. They have repaid the purchase price of Alaska many times over. All of that gold came from ore that ran from g to $3 ton. The mine l visited today has mighty ore body whose gold contents average about $1.5O per ton and still the machinery for mining and milling is such that fully half of that amount is clear profit. The actual cost of mining the gold is now about 50 cents a ton, and 1t may be cut to 50 cents or even low CT than that.
 Have you any idea of what gold ore carrying only $1.50 ton means? Gold is worth about $20 an ounce, and at that rate s1.5O worth of gold would equal only about thirteenth of an ounce. Divide s20 gold piece into 13 parts and each part will not be as big as a pea. Nevertheless, that pea of gold is all that is to be found in one whole ton of this ore.
 A ton of ore is a cartload for two horses. Now grind your pea into the finest of powder and put one of the grains of that powder in every pebble or broken piece of cartload of gravel and you have some idea of how the gold isscatteredS through the rock and how difficult it is to get it all out.
 Or suppose the gold to be salt, and the ore to be water I went to a drug store today and weighed out enough salt to just equal the weight of the gold in tone of this ore. The salt did not fill the smallest teaspoon. But
