FACTS ABOUT MARSHAL

A Keystone drill has lately been taken in which is at present drilling on No. 2 below, right in town, with what result 1s unknown.
 Disappointment creek, on the Wilson creek side, was a failure. although on Elephant creek, the next tributary, a man named Pill cher is taking in a hydraulic outfit. At the head of Willow Tom Plur- kett has some good-looking quartz.
 In many ways Willow resembles the typical mining camp of early days where life is free and easy, where everybody is as good as everybody else, and "a dlm sight better. as an Irishman expressed it, and where if- runs high and conventions are thrown to the winds when money is plentiful. There is no saloon at Willow, but one is located about half ways to The Landing right close to num- Der of mineral springs. The water is strongly charged with iron, mag nesia and perhaps lithia, and hither one may see any number vending their way with jugs and pails to partake of the rejuvenating waters, which is guaranteed to cure shovel its in few applications, and other kinds of Elixirs of Life may be had at the saloon and roadhouse.
 The latest arrivals, Mrs. A. G. Oliver and Wm. Mullan, are getting acciimated, although the mosquitos and gnats came nearly finishing the chechacoes at first. I can still see Vim. Mullan sitting eating breakfast at the Pioneer with a smudge pot between his feet and an expression on his face, "Why did l leave Nome?"
 In talking with men on the trails and on the boats from the koyukuk the Iditarod, Dawson, Ruby and other places, one feels that a spirit of pessimism has overtaken the prospectors and miners. Nearly all the interior camps are on the de- cline and everybody is foot loose and waiting to stampede to the next reported strike.

\ REAL QUESTION.

A correspondent in a recent is sue of our brilliant exchange, the British Columbia Federationist, one of the most untramelled, fearless and unquestionably one of the .clearest and ablest of labor papers in the western world, asks the per- finent question as to the Asiatic somewhat this wise: if Australians insist upon a white Australia, bar ring all the orientals, if America and Canada does likewise, what k to become of the surplus from ike teemingly pregnant nations of tthe east-Japan, China, India.
 And it is a question which the correspondent intimates must be an swered even if the solution can only be brought about eventually by a war.
 This is surely fact. It is mo- montous question and one that must be considered sooner or later. It is impossible to avoid it, for al though at the present time it is not pressing very sternly for solution, the time is not far distant when it -will.
 1t is certain also that the peace fHl settlement is not to be found in the program provided by so- aso-called labor leaders which de- anands Asiatic exclusion in the var seps countries that the jobs may be raenopolized by them. That view Is only worthy being held by men wkose narrow vision sees this a world of jobs and wherein protec- sion against foreign competition in the labor market is required where Iabor is etcrnally commodity.
 The solution is found we believe in wider principles of live and let live, and in cooperation for that end between the workers fo the world, regardless of their race, their creed,

ation seem to be of igneous origin, greensboro, basalt and porphyry predominating, and there is no wash. Rich ground it is, but diffi- cult of working, as most of it is rock. Some of the pits resemble quarries rather than placer mines. The work is 8 hours per day, and $500 per day, but there is no lack of worlsingmen, and there are about 50 idle men at Willow. No rain had fallen for some time, and some of the mines would have to close down for lack of water. Work was late getting under way owing to the deep frost, and even yet there has been no cleanup to speak of. Lit tie money is in circulation, and everybody uses the 'slap-her-down" system Expressive phrase, that) and everybody stands everybody else off.

 At present the pay is confined to Willow creek. and if no more pay is found, the camp will be short lived. However, as there are 6 or : other creeks he ading in the same range of hills and cutting the same formation, it seems likely that gold will be found on some of them. The ground is wet and is difficult to prospect. A story is told of men who sunk a shaft last winter using two windlasses, two men hoisting water and two dirt. It is no poor mans camp, as there is only about months work in sum- mer time at the best and no winter work, and living expenses are high, meals being one dollar, and it costs at least two dollars day to board yourself. Reindeer meat is about the cheapest article, being 25c. per pound. A man named Jack Shu- wart has a herd of about 100 deer.

or their color.
 To imagine that it is impossible for the white workingman to make common cause with any other is to hold a view 0f their position which is at once incorrect and impossible.
 The world is now in the making. It is absurd to think that principles of democracy, industrial freedom and political emancipation are only for one race, and not for all. There is nothing to prevent the idea that all races can freely intermix and carry on their different activities in every land upon the broad plane of human brotherhood.
 These antagonisms of race which arise from jealousies of an econom- ic, a sexual or class caste, have no place in the labor movement. The oriental workers like his Aryan brethren have nothing to lose but their industrial chains and a world
 
 Not a single section of the world has as yet been put to the full test of it's productivity. Because the | rich and powerful in all lands mon- opolize wide sections uncultivated for any useful purpose, the rest are compelled to travel afar.
 The same reason that made the peoples of the European nations come to the Americas arc driving the Japanese. the Chinese and the Hindus to seek an outlet also. The land where wealth accumulates and mon decay is not confined to any one section of the globe, and the land where the earth is monopol- izcd and peons rather than endure their peonage depart for thc fires land countries, is not confined to Europe by long shot.
 Hence, it is, we have to recognize the rights of every man, regard less of his creed, his race, his color to make a living for himself. Too many idlers live upon the activitie: of their fathers. and hold tha' theirs is the right to exclude be cause their fathers before then went into the wilderness and made it blossom. They forget that the same momentum which drove theil fathers from their native lands, i: precisely the same social force tha is driving those whom they would exclude from access to the soil il their countries.

THE APPROPRIATIONS.

For a democracy Arizona is do- ing very we'll in providing us with side lights on the elements of free dom. The expulsion of the workers from Bisbee at the behest of the copper barons, through the armed violence of the thugs of the copper barons whose anxiety to get out copper at 33 cents pound during this Holy War for democracy against autocracy leads our national plutocrats eto a policy which goes the Kaiser one better.
 Here are men, according to the census taking by the United States army officers, officers of the regular army, whose tradition forbids playing with the truth and whose duty compels them to do as they are ordered, without fear and with out favor, showing us that the men who gave of their little savings to liberty loans to the red cross. who willingly registered that they might even sacrifice their lives for the nation, are driven out by these copper barons whose lust for profits overcomes every other sense and who deliberately tear the constitu- tuition into a mess of tatters with out as much as word of protest from any official whose duty it is to enforce the laws.
 This may be all very we'll for a time But it is practically certain that for all these things there is coming a day of reckoning, just as surely as the rape of Belgium and other insamies of militarism will be paid for ounce by ounce and pound for pound in the scales of a rigid and unyielding Justice as time goes on.

TAX LODGING.

It is quite apparent that while 1he rich are most enthusiastic for tbis war, and have shouted with the foadest voice on all patriotic occa- siens it is the poor man who will do fhe fighting and it is the relatively poor man who VII do the tax pay ing.
 While the wealthy have flags in evidence about their mansions, on their autos, in their offices and upon their persons, they are just the same going to let the other fellow do the fighting and the other fellow to a great extent do the tax paying.
 MT. Gilson Gardner for example made public a private circular sent broadcast to the richer clients of well known brokerage house, part of which read as follows:
 Has it occurred to you as man of large income how very favorable present conditions are for invest ments in vacant lands? For some years to come you may expect in- creasingly high income taxes, and while the present revenue bill only provides 33 1-3 per cent tax on ali incomes over $5OO,O00, yet it may be confidently predicted this per H,-;1I hn ara n creased, and some go so far as to predict confiscation of all incomes s1f over $100.000.
 It would therefore appear good 2susiness for those having such in comes to switch their investments Srom revenue producing securities or trade such securities for vacant lands. Vacant lands will produce no immediate income and vii therefore bear no federal tax. State county or municipal taxes that may be paid upon vacant lands are al lowed to set off in making up in come tax returns.
 Furthermore, it is declared or positive authority that the very ricf are now buying vacant lands a: they never did before.
 Apparently the win the war loan: are merely for the masses, while the we'll to do acquire more of tho soil and entrench themselves il Ghe property of the nation.

PRESIDENT WILL PUT IN OPERATION
 EXPORT CONTROL
Plan of Carrying Out Law Already Passed by Con- gress Will Be Arranged
 at Once

Washinston June 19.-Presiden! Wilson is expected to sign tomorrow an executive order putting into oper- ation the export control act just passed by Congress. A plan of organization and general export programme drawn up by Secretaries Lansing and Red field was taken up at todays cabinet meeting.
 The act will be administered by all export council made up of represen- tatives of the state, war, navy and commerce departments, the food ad ministration and others to be select ed by the state and commerce depart ments. Administrative details will be handled by the bureau of foreign anu domestic commerce, which will be en- larged by the addition of an export licensing division.
 Matters of international consequence will be decided by the state depart ment, Food questions will be left to the food administration. Coal and wheat will be first two commodities to cong under operation of the act ana a Ikesidential proclamation specify ing these two probably will accompany the executive order.
 Heavy grain purchases by European neutrals. it was said tonight, in fluenced the government to hasten putting the export control act into operation.
 Alarmed at prospects that the United States was preparing to exercise the strictest supervision over food ship ments the neutrals it is declared, hay Ve gone into the American wheat mar ket and obtained contracts for enox- nous quantities of the cereal. Much of this now probably will leave the country and if the food bills pass the purchasers can be forced to disgorge their holdings under the embargo clause.
 The allies, who have discontinued grain purchases for the time being awaiting the outcome of the food eN- port and control Legislation have grown more and more impa tient it is declared, at the continued neutral buy ing. The heavy allied buying in the spring has been blamed in large measure for the high price to which May wheat went.
 Under programme that probably will be adopted by the government America will be supplied first out of American products; the allies will be taken care of next and the neutrals will be considered last.

MRS. LYMAN TELLS OF DOUbLE-CROSS
 BY HER OWN PALS
Fifty Per-Cent-a-Month" Banker Involves Many Who Aided in Swind-
 ling Scheme

New York June 19-Attempted mur. der robbery and blackmail were inter- woven in a confession made to United States Commissioner Gilchrist today by Mrs. Ray Hyman, the "Fifty-per- -cent-s month banker who is charged with ap- propriating money intrusted to her for investment without security and which is said to exceed $500000. The woman's rev. elations brought about the arrest of nine persons who were held in S2500 bail each, and warrants were issued for five others.
 Mrs. Hyman appeared before the com- missioner in bankruptcy proceedings. After five days in the Tombs prison she decided to involve all who participated in her get rich quick scheme,' she declared. She told of those who worked with her to fleece the public, how they advanced her money to further the scheme and how hundreds of persons had been brought to her with their savings through tales of high interest spread by those cooperating with her.
 Mrs. Hyman charged that certain per sons who obtained large sums of money from her and were expecting an expo- sure of the swindle, tried to drown her in Oyster Bay by overturning a boat. After she had been rescued by life-savers and had recovered, she alleged, $S000 had b cen taken from her pocketbook by her companions.
 Mrs. Hyman stated that investments" totalling approximately $500,000 were to have been swiped out by going into bank ruptcy. She admitted that not a dollar of the money she received from her clients had been invested, the scheme simply being to pay occasional dividends from what came in as Investments and to keep clients coming so fast that the income would exceed payments.
