ALASKAN GOLD-L0DE MINING
Already Profitable, the Completion OF
the Government Railroad Will Aid
in Its Development.

Twenty five gOld-lOde mines were Op-
Grated in Alaska in 1918. according
to the United States geological sur

was also a production from seven
prOSpects-abandOne mines or small
mines that we're not in regular Oper
alton. The value of the lOde-gOld out
put decreased from S4.5S1 .453 in 1917
to $3.473.317 in 1918. owing partly to
the disaster at the Treadwell mine in
April, 1917, and partly to curtailment
of operations. especially in the Juneau
district, because of shortage of labor
Southeastern Alaska. especially the

production in the Fairbanks district
decreased materially, as the lode-mine

especially of fuel. which is expected
on the completion of the government
railroad. In 1918 the average value Of
the gold and silver contents for all
siliceOus ores mined was S1.70 a ton I;
the average for 1917 was S1.37 a ton.
These averages reflect the dominance
in the total lode production of the
large tonnage produced from the low
grade ores of the Juneau district.

Absence Sometimes Evidence of Tact

Absence Sometimes Evidence of Tact.
Sometimes it's an evidence Of tact
when people absent themselves. Only
big people can do it. Children and
childish adults have to hang around
with open mouths and staring eyes
lest something escape them. They are
the omnipresent nuiSances that make
you want to tell them things. Really
big people can afford to let others do
few things without permission.
What others do ought not to detract
vitaIly from what you do unless what
you attempt is so small that it takes
little to OvershadOw 1t. Besides it's
only fair that others should have an
opportunity of showing what they can
do The world will think more of you

mere obstruction won't stop things
anyway. The best way to make things
popular is to furnish sufficient unjust
opposition. The persecution occasion

the gentleman took a notion to sit
down, and down he went, and he had
quite a time getting to his feet again.
He did so much kicking and scram-
