reinforcements appear to have been

to form new army north of Warsaw

To do so they would have TO draw

 A good story is told on Frank Wiseman. former chief of police at Fairbanks, who is now in the Iditar- cd district. Frank is a good Republi- can and was keen for bet on the late election. He was finally ap- preached by a friend who offered to bet that Grigsby would ,'arry .cita- rod. Frank was sure that Sutherland would win in a walk in that, as we'll as other sections of Alaska, and he grasped the opportunity to wager $500 on the result of the election. There were only about % votes altogether and the man who put up the money of Grigsby made a per sonal canvass among his Republican friends, explaining that it would only take few votes to win Wiseman's $500, and suggested that each take part of the wager and cast their votes for the Democratic candidate for delegate. The scheme is said to have worked like charm. At any rate, Grigsby carried Iditarod and the reports state that Wiseman is out $500.

Gold Mining and Profit

Gold mining pays according to the
location of the mine and the facili-
ties at hand for extracting the ore.
The famous Homestake Mines paid
so per cent month for many years
on 81 ore; that is, ore that contained
one-tenth Of an ounce of gold q
ton. Other mines will not pay on
anything less than $50 ore-ore that
carries one ounce of gold ton.
There must be wood and water con-
veNiently at hand, a mill on the
property for crushing and concen-
trating low grade ores with the gold
in combination, not too long a haul
to the railroad, not too long a haul
by rail and enough iron. lead and
silica in the ore so that the smelter
charges will not eat up all the profit
Gold mining is not an absolutely
simple proposition. There are not
many places on the desert where
gold mining will pay with s. ore.
But radium mining will pay big in
the middle of the desert, with a
fifty -seven-mile haul to the railroad
over treacherous roads deep N sand,
and ore that runs one one-hun-
dredth part of an ounce Of radium
TO the ton is sacked and shipped
without pretense of concentration.
Pocket hunting for gold is losing
proposition on the desert. There are
places in the high Sierra Nevadas
and in the Coast Range and some
spots in the mountains of Oregon
where pocket hunting, besides being
an enhancing game, pays the lone
prospector rather well, with fair
proportion of luck on his side. But

than his rivals in being provided
with a campaign song, of his own
composition. 1t runs as follows:
The politicians are in power, the people
in the soup;
To politics as she is run no longer will
we stoop.
Then on the job we all will go to clean
the stables out,
Corruption put upon the dump and poll
ticians rout.
The concentratum we will have, the
preferendum, too,
And legislation most direct, recall for
the untrue.
Then will we have democracy in truth
as we'll as name,
The people then will be in power, laws
all for all shall frame.
Mr.. Haskins sums up his concep-
tion of government by the graphic
method of a diagram. In the center
of the diagram is the inspiring
phrase: "The Foundation OF the
Temple of Liberty" AS supports of
this foundation he lists the concen-
tratum, wall of resistance to de-
structive anarchy, direct legislation,
wall of resistance to autocracy and
dictatorship, wall Of resistance to
ignorance and indifference, the pref
erendum, wall of resistance to privi-
lege and corruption, and the recall.

horts every one to Buy, Read and

New-York tribune., 1920-08-01
Without Taxes

Far be it from any ordinary mind
even to attempt to analyze Mr..
Beach's startling scheme for the re-
adjustment of the nations currency
system. 1t boldly promises to pour
unlimited wealth into the Treasury
without imposing cent of taxation.
Just how this most desirable object
is to be achieved is explained, down
to the most minute details, in long
tables where Mr.. Beach plays with
millions and billions to his hearts
content and secures some amazing
results in addition and subtraction.
Mr.. Beach possesses an eminently
single-track mind. A delegate who
was interested in his candidacy said
to him:
"Mr. Beach, in the event of your
election, what will be your Russian
policy?"
IL shall offer the Russian people
my plan, the greatest plan ever de-
vised by the mind of man, replied
the candidate.
"But supposing they refuse to ac-
cept it," said the delegate.
"But they can't refuse it," OBJ
served Mr.. Beach. eff they put up
a hundred men to argue with me
they couldn't get better plan"
But what if they still reject it?'
persisted the delegate.
"Then," declared Mr.. Beach, with
the evident idea of casting the OBJ
stinate Russians into outer dark
ness, "then / will just leave them
to shift for themselves"
One of Mr.. Beach's closest rivals
was Samuel G. Priddle, who set
forth his claims for the nomination
in a little booklet filled with Scrip
tural texts. Apparently Mr.. Prid-
die was inclined to revive the theory
of the divine right Of kings. On the
New-York tribune., 1920-08-01

cover of his booklet appeared the
words:
Effected by the king Of presi-
dents. The elect prophetic Bible
movement. kilograms from heaven.
Bible evidence. 935 W. Van Buren,
St."
Mr.. Priddle declares that "twelvc
United Abiding Sane Saints will
soon convert the world. This is ac-
cording to very strong evidence {;
and also as soon as twelve become
of one mind we shall receive power
from the king of kings to rule U. S.,
and then some"
The Imperium of Democracy
Another dark horse at the conven-
tion was Charles N. Haskins,
author of pamphlet entitled
"Chart of the Imperium Of Democ-
racy: A Chart and Compass for
the Ship of State" Mr.. Beach was
inclined to consider currency the
vital issue of the campaign, while
Mr.. Priddle laid stress upon re-
ligion. Mr.. Haskins displayed a
more political bias. He gives the
following lucid definition of his ideal
of government:
"The preferendum, initiative, ref
erendum and recall vitalized and
made practical for full and absolute
expression of a freeman's will by
means of the concentratum."
Mr.. Haskins is more fortunate

This Rare Element Is Valued at More
Than $3,000,0O0 an
Ounce
By Fred B. Pitney

\IlC uiaihSt quotation 1Or a
gram of radium is $12O,000.
Il So in getting two and one
quarter grams for $250,000
and thus becoming the largest indi-
vidual purchaser of radium in the
world the State of New York got
bargain, as at the market price
the cost would have been S270,000.
New York will use the radium in the
treatment Of cancer.
So few people are in the habit of
measuring in grams that the fore
going statement in regard to the
price Of that much radium does not
mean much to the ordinary man.
The atom is as hard to visualize as
infnity. Let us try to make a COM
parison that will mean something to
a man up tree.
Gold is worth S20.57 an ounce at
the mint. There are 1886 grams in
an ounce. Radium is worth at the
market quotation $3,4O2,o an
ounce.
