BIG INCREASE IN
 GOLD PRODUCTION
By HOLLAND


 New York September 20-(SpecialO A little over a year after the Boer war in South Africa was ended there came to the United States four or five min ing engineers who were commissioned to secure here much needed mining ap- paratus. They visited various plants where apparatus of this kind is made, spending several days at Easton, Pa. They made large purchases of mining apparatus. They were enthusiastic in their prediction of what the new out fields would be after needed mining apparatus was secured and installed. They estimated that possibly as much as $2,000,000 in new gold, even more, would be taken each year from these mines, all of which would be absorbed by Great Britain and would enable that country to retain her prestige in the money market and in world com merce
 These engineers professed to believe that it was possible for the United States to take each year from our gold mines, including Alaska, where gold development had just begun, new sup plies of gold aggregating about $100, ,000,- GOO a year. They confessed that they spoke without accurate knowledge, bas- ing their statement only on general in- formation.
 Shortly after the early development of gold mining in Alaska was made and the indications were that from $15,- GOO, 900 to $20,000, 900 of new gold might be received from these mines, the late John P. Jones, who, for 30 years, was United States senator from Nevada and was esteemed one of the best authori- ties upon the production of precious metals, said, when referring to Alaska that he believed that the time was not distant, depending, of course, upon the improvement of transportation facili- ties, when Alaska would become one of the largest gold producing areas in the world.
 The late Maurice L. Muhleman, for many years an executive officer of the subtreasury of New York and recog- nized as one of the highest authorities upon old production, saw no reason why our mines should not yield each year in excess of $100000, 1000 in new gold and maintain that production for a long time. He spoke of the new methods adopted in California whereby deep mining was made available and profitable, making it certain that Cali- fornia would maintain her prestige as a gold producing state, although close 1y pressed by Colorado. In the north west MT. Muhleman expected greatly increased production of gold.
 Now gold as a measure of purchasing power has greatly decreased and at the same time our production of gold is fall ing off alarmngly. Congress has been called upon to recognize the danger which confronts the country by reason of the deplorable situation with respect to gold production. In 1915 the money

 Well. Ty. how about the stories which pictured you as being the cause of considerable internal dissension in the Detroit club-and intimated that you were trying to usurp Hughie Jennings job as manager?' l asked.
 Ty smiled.
 That's a question that l think Hughie Jennings could answer much peter than L. replied Ty. There goes Hughie now. Why don't you put the question to hJm, Jim?"
 Your word is good enough for me, Ty," I said How about those stories-how much truth has there been in them?''
 ''It's true, Jim, that during my long connection with the Tigers l have had quarrels with some of my teammates But there is nothing unusual in that | daresay that there isn't player who was in the big leagues for a long pericd of years who didn't, at some time or other. have a jam with a few of his teammates This is especially true ov a club that is in the thick of a pennant fight and where everybody is keyed up to the highest tension possible. But every quarrel that I ever had was patched up. and no man who ever played on the Detroit team didn't leave it as a friend of mine, no matter how much we may have disagreed at certain times during the days that we played together for the baseball glory of Detroit.
 q never tried to run the Detroit team and Hughie Jennings will tell you that Often I went to Hughie with suggestions that I felt might help the team. That was my right. Every player who has the interest of his club atheart should make suggestions for betterment. But never did try to usurp Hughiet au- rhority nor did I ever have a real quar- rel with him throughout my entire ca reer Hughie Jennings ever Will appeal to me as one of the finest, cleanest and brainieSt paen that l ever knew, and to Hughie's teaching and coaching do | owe much of the success that has come to me in the baseball world

"A few years ago youngster came up from the bushes with the reputation for being quite hitter" related Ty Cobb, He had considerable natural skill as a batter but was possessed of a fault in his stance at the plate a fault that the smart pitchers in the big leagues certainly would discover quickly and use to the discomfi- ture of the kid. Knowing that the sac cess of the youngster depended largely upon correcting that fault, and sizing him up as a rather likable kid, I went to him one day and said:
 You'll get a lot of hits in this league if you just change your position at the plate a little, and without really waiting for the kid to answer my comment, i picked up a bat, walked to the plate, as stunned his usual position, told him where the fault lay and then went into a de- tailed illustration of howfhe could stand to get the best results When I had fin- ished did he thank me? Not at all! This is what he said:
 q Say, Cobb, you may think you are a great hitter yourself, but l guess know enough about this batting business so that don't have to take any instructions from you. You don't need to go around trying to show me up
 AuolutI tune uuIlHS my career, JlIl, a youngster broke in who had great speed and who looked like a conner as a base runner But the kid didn't know much about the art of sliding. Every time he went into bag he did so rather clumsily and always ran the danger of breaking his leg. So one day I went over to him and said;
 Would you mind if I showed you your fault in sliding?'
 '"The kid looked at me and said:
 I've heard that you are something of a swelled head guy, and guess the fel- lows who tipped me off were right. You don't need to come putting into my ar- fairs You may think you are wonderful as base runner, but l guess it won't take me very long to show you up.'
 And there, Jim, you have two instances of many that happened during my career. Very often I have gone out of my way to try to help fellows only to be insulted
