If the United States government will detail one of its expert mining engineers to come to Fairbanks and make a survey of the area of placer lands now lying idle in this vicinity he will discover that there is not less than one billion dollars worth of gold on creeks that have been yros- peCted and values determined. These deposits are of too low q grade tu be prOfitably worked by present meth ods. If power were made available at as low a cost as $1OO per horse power year this gold could all be re- covered and profitably produced. The resulting income from these reopcncd mines will be subject to income taxes per cent only would produce for the United States d revenue of $10000,- 900. From this source alone. then. the United Staes could and would recover more than the total cost of a power plant such as the Mining Congress and the Commercial clubs Of Fair banks and Nenana are agitating.

GRUB STAKE FIGURES
IN BIG FORTUNE

Albuquerque. n. NJ, Oct. 2S.-
grub-stake and murder figured in
the fortune of Damian Gardener,
whose estate recently came before
the United States circuit court of
appeals of California. 1t meant a
million to Cordoner because Harry
Orchard was convicted of murder in
the famous Moyer-Haywood Petit
bone case which arose over the kill
ing of Governor Frank Stueenberg.
of Idaho. And Gardener had nothing
to do with the murder case either.
1t started back in 1898, when Or
chard "pawned" his interest in the
Hercules mine for grub-stake. Car
doner advanced Orchard about ST.
600 worth of food. tools and cloth
ing, When Orchard was unable to
make payment, Gardener received
his sixteenth interest in the mine
and from its dividends was unable
to forsake the little country store
he owned at Burke, Idaho, and got
to Spain where he brought flour
spar mill and made million. He
died in the Canary Islands in Febru-
airy, 1915.
Mrs. Gardener, who died at Albu-
querque in October, 1918, sold the
interest in the Hercules mine for
s350.000. In December, 1917, she
brought suit at Coeur d'Alene, Ida
no, against the. purchasers, alleging
that her share in the mine was worth
$1,5OO,000. The court of appeals
held that the $3.50, 900 sale was bind
ing.
The money from the Gardener es-
tate goes to Mrs, Julio G. Pauchet
Mrs. Gardeners only daughter and
wife of a director in the Banca Ar
nus, Barcelona, Spain, and of Pier
rier ct Gle PAS. A million on the
grub-stake.

RHEIMS CATHEDRAL IS NOT DAMAGED
BY GERMAN SHELLS BEYOND REPAIR

Paris, Oct. 2S.-After all, the
Rheims cathedral has not suffered
from German bombardments and
fire so much ais was at first sup
posed, Cardinal LIcon has told a
representative of the Paris Intransi-
geant. The cardinal announced that
divine service would be resumed in
the cathedral from November 1 but
the holy office will be restricted to
the altar Of the Virgin and the am
5ulatory around 1t. These will ac-
commodate only about 1900 persons.
The interviewer describes how he
met the cardinal at Rheims in a
simply furnished apartment of the
archiepiscopal palace, with shell
hole in the wall. Cardinal Lucon,
despite his n years, is still hale and
alert. and he is an optimist.
Destroyed, my cathedral? Why,
no." he said. "The damage is much
more easily repairable than is gen.
orally believed. "A few ancient parts,
1t is true, cannot be replaced, but
the beauty OF the cathedral lay,
first, in its stained glass; secondly,
in its sculptures, and thirdly, in its
statuary.
