COMPRESSOR TAKEN
ACROSS THE DESERT

Saturday afternoon the new ten
drill air compressor for the Tonopah
Divide reached the end of its journey
across the desert from the Merger in
Goldfeld, after nearly a week had
been devoted to hauling the massive
piece of machinery up the eastern
slope of Gold Mountain to the big
bonanza. This event marks the be-
ginning of another stage in the his
tory of the Divide, as the compressor,
having a capacity practically three
times as great as the one formerly
used, will permit the management to
start development on the greatly en-
larged scale which has been planned.
Workings on all levels will be ex-
tended, sinking of the shaft will be
resumed, and driving of the fifth level
crosscut will be started. The extern

Paper From Alaska.

From juneau. Alaska, to Rock Island, is q
long distance to ship news print, but the paper
situation in this country may coms to that in
time. Obviously there will be no decrease in
prices with such freight bills to pay.
F. H. Flory, supervisor of the forest ser
vice of Alaska. says that country has forests
capable Of supplying half the news print pa
per demand of the United States for all time.
The growth Of new timber, in other words. will
DO rapid enough to equal the rate of consump-
ton.
Eastern forests suitable for pulp making are
rapidly disappearing and even now plans are
being made to transfer part of the paper max
ing business to supply this country to the
Alaskan fields. To that end certain federal
restrictions upon the use Of the timber are
being sought
News print may in time become the most
valuable product of this far northern posses
sion Of the United States, the commercial pos.
sibilities Of which we are only just beginning
to realize.

thereby laying the foundation for future bust

Unfortunately similar tendencies are not

try. There 10 too much Of disposition here

The Salvation Army Drive.

Failure of the Salvation army drive is to
be regretted, but it may as well be taken philo-
sophically. The business Of raising money by
subscription has been overdone in the last few
years and reaction is upon US. The grip
people are keeping upon their dollars is due
to state of mind, rather than a state Of A.
nances, but it might as well be the latter. so
far as results in money raising campaigns are
concerned. The man who won't give has to be
figured in at about the same rate as the ,man
who is willing to but isn't able.
The Salvation army at least has the conso-
lation of knowing that no other organization
is likely to do any better than 1t has done.
