stead of having an engine in the forward projecting portion, with an air screw in front of it, the front part of the Gotha is occupied by a gunner-observer, who is armed with a machine gun.
 There are two engines which are placed one on each side of the cen tral body, in little cabins or nacel- les, of their own. Each engine is a Mercedes of 250-horsepower.
 The pilot sits behind the gunner observer, practically in between the wings. Behind the pilot is third compartment, occupied by a third gunner This man has gun that is mounted on the top of the fuse- lage, which covers all the area dead aft, where the tail and rudder gets in the way. The area this cut off has hitherto been the one blind spot" in all airplanes, and to ob vite this the designer of the Gotha has introduced the ingenious idea of building the fuselage in the form of bottomless tunnel, so that a gun placed on the floor of the after gunners compartment can fire straight aft under the tail and abol. ish any attacking machine which adopts the usual method of hiding in the blind spot.
 Thus the machine is able to bring two guns to bear in a broadside or on an enemy approaching from above. One gun can defend against a forward attack And in an attack from behind the forward gunner can come aft and operate one of the after guns while the regular gunner operates the other. So it is considered to be the best defended machine of the moment.
 Despite it's bad construction the Gotha has a very good performance With it's full load it can reach a height of 12,000 to 15,000 feet, and when it has dropped it's bombs and has used part of it's fuel it can get up to 1S,000 feet or so with ease.
 The span of the wings, from top to tip is about eighty feet and the rest of the machine is in proportion which is why so many people who saw the machines over London i'm agined they were low down. When one is used to our average machines of only forty feet span, an eighty footer at 12,000 feet looks the same size as a forty-footer at 5000, and though it may be travelling at eigh- ty or ninety miles an hour, it is so high that it appears to be travelling at forty or fifty.

ANOTHER ALASKAN TREASURE
(New York Times)

(New York Tmes)
 Alaska has already returned many times the r,onev which when paid for it, declared to have been much than wasted, and now it dcloses the possession of another treasure equahs if not surpassing in value all of those previously taken from the frozen wilds once called worthless by all the Wise Ones For platinum has been found there-platinum the royal metai, to which even gold bows in humility and silver dares not even ap proach
 The extent of the discovery is not yet deter mined but it known to be large, and the deposits are so rich that the chemist to whom the first samples were submitted for anlysis didn't have the courage report them lest he be thought guilty of d wild exaggeration. And the platinum now Tn sight is only beginning, as was the gold In Call fornia rivers that caused the epochdating rush o '49 The real mines are back in the mountains nobody knows just where There the serious ex- poitaton of the future will be done, but meanwhile the river sands will pay again Aaskas many times cancelled debt
 It must be remembered that platinum is useful as well as beautiful and that it's enormous price is fixed by the practical ends it serves in several or the important industries not by its availability for the purpose of decoration and luxury

LATEST RAIDING
 MACHINE IS BIG,
 POWERFUL CRAFT

LONDON, Sept. 21. Considered as a bombing machine, the Gotha biplane, which has formed the squadrons which have raided Eng land of late, is success, writes c. c. Grey, editor of the Airplane in the Chronicle. Viewed as an example of airplane construction the machine is perfect horror. Never theless, it does it's job, and does it only too we'll.
 As seen by the inexperienced at I distance the Gotha looks like an ordinary biplane of the type famil far to everybody. That is to say there are two pairs of wings, with q long solidlooking body, or fuse lage, as it is called, projecting in front of and behind them. But, in

TIN IN ALASKA
(Wallace, Idaho, Miner)


 The known tin deposits in the United States few but Alaska is something of a contributor to much needed tin demand. Alaska lode tin dis covered, curiously enough, by geologist of the Geological Survey Department of the Interior he helping two prospectors by crudely smetng in camp piece of peculiar looking which the prOspectors rightly suspected to be tin. Speci- of stream tin also collected by survey geoogsts in Alaska in 1900, which before this metal known to occur in the Territory. Soon af- that time prospecting for stream tin became tive. 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, increase of 37 tons 1915, but it is the hope of govern ment officials that with the present high prices the production for the present year may total much 300 tons. In the Seward Peninsula, where placer tin was first mined the of this stream tin has been discovered and lode mining is being ried In the other known Alaskan tin locality the Hot Springs placer tin region-Geologica Sur vey this year searching for the and urging the miners all their stream tin.
 Stream tin is rather widely distributed in the Hot Springs district but yet few of the gold effort is being made by the government geologists now on the ground to induce the miners to and ship this stream tin. which would materially in crease the total output from the Territory Placer mining in the Hot Springs district can be carried on for about three months in summer. In view of the great need of tin in the United States it Is hoped that the Alaska miners will make effort to in crease their output.
