Arriving in Washington at Z 30
In the morning, having lost but
one whole day in his trip to New
York, Smith left the sleeping car
aud went straight to his apart
ment. The fervor of triumph was
still upon him.
1T is settled" he said to him
sell. as he took a7seat in the street

He gazed with new interest at
the great dome of the capital
glistening under the white sun
light.

done beneath you," he said, adj
dressing the big pile mentally.
$50 many great things, SO many
little things, have cast their echoes

r%everberate to something new,
something entirely aud utterly
new"
He hurried through his break
fast and went to the Office build
ing ncar the capitol. The one
room he had occupied st first had
grown now into three, and he had
found it necessary to employ two
stenographcrs III order to keep up
with the correspondence that
poured in upon him from every
state in the union. His mail had
been stacked on his desk. The
first letter he picked up was on
Senate stationery. It was signed
by Thomas T.. Mallon, and it said:

tween cur views on q certain public

He looked at his watch and saw
that he had only an hour in which
to dispose of the remainder of his
mail. He turned directly to the
task, going to a door and calling
IN n of the stenographers.

Jelitfe," he said quietly. GIVE an

Not once had it occurred to him
that Edith Mallon could have had
the slightest thing to do with his
Punishment from her home. Sena-
tor Mallon's attitude did not dis
turb him except that it struck him
as an unnecessary insolence-and
an inconvenience. IF it did not
worry her, he was satisfied. He
would be able to deal with the SEN
atcr. He had dealt with senators
before. The lobby was attacking
him in his social relations at last.
Obviously, such a motive had in
spired Mallon. And his experience
had taught him the ease Of fight
ing people whose tactics are the
fruits of mean motives. AS he
worked, his serenity was un-
rufled.
Miss Mallon was not SO fortu-
nate. She was neither serene nor
nnruffled. Bowling down Massa-
chusetts avenue in her electric q
few minutes before noon, she
looked at the golden brown and
russell red of the trees which
stretched, like two big folds of
fairy embroidery, on both sides of
the street. 1t was a day when the
world seemed awash with gold. A
touring car, crowded with girls
and young men, overlook and
sped past her. On the sidewalk.
at a corner, an Italian ground his
organ while golden haired, freshly
dressed children danced to the
music.
"In the aggregate" she
thought, ION the whole, the world
is always lovely, always beautiful,
as 1T is today. But, to make up
that whole, how much Of pain
there is, how much Of suffering!"
Her fathers words at the
breakfast table that morning still
rang in her ears:

EXEMPTION
May GO TO
INDUSTRIES

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-Oaicials
/ in the war department are seriously
considering applying the draft exemp-
ton plan to certain industries as a
whole instead of individual men i'm the
next call.
! Shortage Of labor so serious as to
hamper the government in rapid prep
aration for the war is the spring be
hind this intended action. The entire
industrial structure is overloaded since
the huge material and cont 'ructiOn
contract have been given out by the
government In some sections men
simply cannot be secured to perform
the necessary tasks.
Shipyards are searching the coun-
try over FOR men who can do their
work Even without the operation Of
the draft it is thought that difficulty
would be encountered in getting
enough competent men, but under
present conditions it looks almost
hopeless.
The railroads are swamped with
freight which they cannot handle and
munitions plants are also handicapped
by labor scarcity
Deep concern is felt over the stu
alton here and all methods of miti-
eating conditions are being gone over
for action must not be delayed that
will enable important branches of war
work to speed up. The United States
cannot throw her whole strength into
the fray until the labor problem is
solved, according to war department
authorities. Some sections Of the coun-
try even now have conditions which
threaten the production of essential
materials.
The original order on draft ex-
emptions was that every mans case
must be considered separately, regard
, less of his work and if it was found
that the lack Of his service would
( cause serious inconvenience to his en-
| ployers, he was to be exempted. This
was done to prevent persons hiring
out, for instance, as coal miners, just
/ long enough to procure exemption
which it was at first believed would
be given all miners. Now it may be
necessary to take the chance that some
slackers will escape this way.

CLAIM OF
PLACER IN GREAT
CAMP WORKED OUT

is thought that a dredge can make
money on any kind of ground which
has once paid for the operations con-
Quoted on it by the more crude meth
DDS Of mining, but dredge experts have
been heard to make the statement that
it is difficult for dredge to extract
enough gold to pay for its operation
from the residue Of gravel, bed rock
and taiIings, after a scraper such as
the Hanots are using has once been
operated For this reason there is a
divergence Of opinion as to whether
or not dredge operations in the future
will pay on Discovery Pedro.
1t was the news of the discovery of
gold ON this claim in the summer of
1902 that caused the stampede to the
Fairbanks district from Dawson, from
Yukon river camps all the way down
and from Nome. Anxious for new
fields to explore, prospectors came to
the Fairbanks district from every
where, and as a result discoveries were
made on all of the other creeks which
have been or are still producers.
Mining operations on Discovery Pc
dro, however, did not start until the
summer Of 1908. AT that time the
discoverer of the ground and Of the
camp, Felix Pedro, was in partnership
with the present-day Hanoi brothers
father from which partnership the
Hanots derive their ownership of the
ground.
Many sets Of Iaymen have operated
on the old claim, some to make big
money and others to go broke. No
great fortunes have been made out of
it. but il has, when worked under eff
cicnt management, been a steady pro-
Queer The ground is what is cOnsid-
cred shallow at the present time, but
in the early days it was considered too
deep for opencutting, consequently all
operations on it were conducted by
drifting. AT various times since then,
however, opencut operations have been
conducted on it.
And it is opencut work that is be-
ing done now by the Hanoi boys, but
it is being done with a scraper instead
of the antiquated hand methods. The
ground being worked in this manner
was first drifted in 1904 and 1905 and,
although it at that time made good
money, Hanoi Brothers are taking out
a large amount of gold by going four
feet deeper into bedrock than did their
predecessors. They will finish up their
work on the old claim this fall and will
then move to Discovery Goldstream,
in which they hold a three-Qumtcrs'
interest, where they will prepare TO
operate extensively next year.
