ALASKA'S TIN

Rochester Union-Advertiser)
 The known tin deposits in the United States are few, but Alaska is something of contributor to much tin demand Alaska lode tin was dis covered curiously enough, by geoogst of the Geological Survey Department of the Interior, as he was helping two prospectOrs by crudely smelting in camp cup a piece of peculiar-looking which the prospecors rightly suspected to be tin Speci mems of stream tin also collected by Survey goologists in Alaska in 1800 which before this metal was known to in the Territory. Soon after that time prospecting for stream tin became active and since 1902 nearly 1000 tons of metallic tin has been produced.
 The Survey has given special attention to tin in Alaska Last years output 139 tons, tn increase of 37 tons 1915 but it is the hope of govern ment officials that with the present high prices the as 300 tons In the Seward Peninsula where placer tin was first mined, the of tin been discovered, and lode mining is being carried on In the other known Alaskan tin locay-the Hot Springs placertin region Geological Survey this year searching for the and are also urg ing the miners to all their stream-tin
 Stream tin is rather widely distributed in the Hot springs district but yet few of the gold placer miners make any pretense of saving it. An effort IS Deing made by the government geoogsts on the ground to induce the miners to and shiI this steam tin, which would materially increase the total output from the Territory Placer mining in the Hot Springs district be carried for about there months in the In view of the great need or tin in the United States it is hoped that the Alaska miners will make every effort to increase the output.

WHEN ALASKA WAS GOLD CRAZY
(Haverhill. Mass, Record)

tHaVefnll Mass, Rec0rd)
 There were many crazy stunts done in the early days of gold mining in Aaska-days when fortunes were made in week by the lucky miners.
 The gold easily that they almost threw 1t about. The miners would go with their gold from saloon to saloon treating the crowd and throwing the poke to the bartender to weigh out the amount or each treat They careless than man might take out double the quantity and not be de tected miner might have thousand dollars worth or gold in his bag and spend it all in ing. Now and then one would go into dance hall and taking his seat in the gallery call of the girls to stand under him while he poured gold dust into her hair dance hall girl might thus clean up $50 in single shampoo. There was one miner named Hauser who fell in love with girl and got her to marry nm by paying her what she weighed in gold dust She stepped the scales and weighed 135 pounds avoirdupois-over 2100 ounces, which at SIS an ounce cost him S3SOOO

IRRIGATION IN ARIZONA MAKES
 BASIS OF SOUND PROSPERITY.

A striking incident of benefits con- ferred on a locality by the efforts of the United States Reclamation Service in providing water to irrigate arid land is that of Yuma, Ariz. Before the Reclamation Service went to Yuma and established the Laguna project, damming the Colorado river and pro- viding an irrigation system, Yuma was a dormant little desert town with no claim to fame save that the name ap- peared in capital letters in the weather reports during the summer months as ''the hottest place in the United States" which was purely libel, as everybody knows the ordinary ther- mometer doesn't tell the truth about summer heat.
 Things have changed at Yuma since water has been diverted from the Col orado river. It is one of the busiest towns in the southwest The streets are filled with people, especially on Saturdays when hundreds of farmers families go to town to do their shop ping and to make their bank depos- it's.

claring them destined to become the most independent financially in the southwest. The returns on 31,0OO acres cultivated in the district last year ranged from $50 to $1O0 per acre. Alfalfa was the leading crop in acre age, and the best paying crop, cotton, brought its producers about $1OO per acre. This spring, 12,000 acres more are being brought under cultivation, increasing the total farmed area to 43,00O acres.
 Even so, Yuma is far from having reached the limit Thousands of acres more await the farmer, and there is a mesa of excellent land for the irri- gation of which a project is under way. It is necessary to hoist the wat CT by means of pumps to the mesa and the cost will be prohibitive for or dinary crops, but the Yuma people in. tend to grow oranges there. The mesa is the one spot in that locality where citrus growth would be safe from the frosts.
 All this activity in the farming dis trict has effected a physical change in Yuma. Many new business blocks have been erected within the past year and the demand for stores and offices is still greater than the supply. One new business block now approaching com pletion has been pronounced the finest in the state.
 There has not been an idle carpen- ter in Yuma for months. In fact, many mechanics are working seven days a week in an effort to keep up with the demand for labor. In the residence district, more than a score of houses are now under construction at the present time, good many for a town of no great size, and every house un- der construction is either to he occu- pied by the builder or has already been sold.
 Yumas experience has been that of Phoenix and will be that of towns to be benefited through the Elephant Butte project, though it will be less pronounced in the case of Fl Paso, because the city is already very ac- tive and growing rapidly, and the new growth due to farm development will not afford such striking contrast Fl Paso Herald.
