 The Fairbanks News Miner told re- cent4y of Roy Canning, Olson and another partner having struck good pay on above on Big Eldorado. Why, back in 1904, Dan McCarthy, Sr., (who landed on this island here with E. T. Barnette, on the latters little old steamboat Isabella, and who helped the founder of Fairbanks clear brush and pitch camp about where the big N. C. store now stands) found coarse gold on his discovery claim on B1g Eldorado and it really looked for awhile as if "Old Dan" had just as rich a paystreak there as he had on his discovery claim on Fairbanks

Final ly finding absolutely nothing-not even a color" C"even as you and ID, he quit in utter disgust sold for a song and walked off.
 The prospector who took a desper- ate chance at the wildcat took up the work where the other had left off and--one foot further in he struck it fabuolusly rich. Never again will l sell claim unti. l have gone one foot further!" vowed the seller.
 And how many oldtimers in this camp today, if they haven't similar experiences themselves, know of their own knowledge of many prospectors of this vast Fairbanks camp who just missed" rich paystreaks which have long since been dug out?

Big Eldorado has been prospected, stampeded, boomed, etc., every year since-some prospectors have taken out yearly grubstakes.
 For the past several years Artie Hill and Jimmie Cosgrove, wel,known oldtirsers have been working there with a small plant, taking out small dumps in winter and hoistng right ia,o the sluice boxes Tn summer. These boys, though, never ran across any such pay as Roy Canning and others have just located. And the lucky Canning and his partners only just missed missing their new pay streak. From the bottom of their shaft they drifted fifty feet along a layer of glacial ice and muck on bed-

It's axio- what sort of conclusion a person in an undecided state of mind will jump to and it was in that frame of mind that a point" was driven down in- to the jumbled bedrock, at the end of their tunnel When they took out that little thaw-they found good pay. Back to the mouth they went and drove another point" down into the bedrock again-to find out that it was frost that they'd been running their tunnel along on false bedrock or not. That's just what they'd been doing they found exactly the same pay at the bottom of the shaft. And now the lucky boys have sunk a stump down in- to the real bedrock for their bucket and they are busy developing and blocking out the ground and figuring on a big plant as there is an abun- dance of water for sluicing on Big Eldorado.

 Naturally the present trip of the finance committee has aroused the keen est interest in Birmingham.
 Birmingham realizes that her future is closely interwoven with that of the great companies which have already done so much in the way of develop ment of the mineral section of Ala bama and the concentration of the at tention of six of the leading men of the Steel corporation upon the Ala bama situation encourages the hope that the demands of war may call forth the full potentialities of the great southern mineral field here abouts.
 Chairman Gary some two weeks ago in discussing the Alabama situation in New York wrote:
 "We have not yet fully developed our plans and are not ready to make any public statement If, and when we may, 1t would be only fair to give the same to the public generally. We realize fully our patriotic duty to the government and we also have sim cere desire to accommodate the wishes of the people of Alabama so far as we consistently can"

The rebuttal will continue tomor- row and then the roads will close their case and arguments will begin.
 A table prepared by statlsticians for the carriers puts the average increase of materials used by railroads at 45 per cent

Since the close of the last fiscal year. accord ing to the table, the price of pig iron has advanced 112 per cent bllets of steel, 90 per cent structural steel 5S per cent make an average increase of 26 per cent for all metals used in construction. The road witnesses said the advance in the cost of labor has been very heavy George w. Lamb, assistant comptroller ofe the Louisville and Nashville. told the commis- sion that operation of the Adamson law would cost the road $50 coo in 1917. while increa ses in the cost of other labor would bring the pay roll to B.

 Southern carriers notified the comims- sion that in case the proposed 15 per cent increase with it's preferential provision were granted they would file new tariffs on lumber from Mississippi valley and southeastern points to the Ohio valley making a rate raise on the basis of 1 cent a hundred pounds.
