FOUR OUTFITS NOW DEVELOP ING GROUND; TAKING OUT GOLD BY PIONEER MErHoD: IS IDEAL DREDGING COUNTRY
JACK LINcKE's NARROW ESCAPE
All operators badly handicapped by continual drought; Frank Erwin, Matt Hugger, Lincke, Pat Collins in field.

 FAIRvIEW DISTRICT, Aug. 13 (P, Developments conducted this season have proven the larger creeks of this district ideal dredge- propositions, and with the introduction of this method of mining or hydraulic, a large and commercially important placer field will eventually be added to the wealth of the territory
 Four outfits are now developing ground, and taking out some gold by the crude method of shoveling in. Frank Erwin, who owns fourteen claims on Pass creek, took out a pit of approximately two thousand feet, and is now cleaning up his bedrock. Gauged by pannings, his ground will go about twenty cents per foot. Owing to the lack of grade much difficulty has been experienced in handling tailings, the creek being obstructed by numerous beaver dams. Erwin's work this season is being conducted claim length from the point where he struck pay two seasons ago, and is being carried on with a view to proving the lower portion of the creek. the upper portion having been sampled extensively by sinking holes to bed rock
 c. J. Lincke has found pay on three of his eight claims on Cottonwood creek by running bedrock drains. Pan- nings indicate that the ground will run approximately fifty cents per yard for the entire length of the creek, with the width of the pay streak un- determined. After doing assessment work and sampling at various points on Cottonwood, Lincke took out a pit of two thousand square feet on Chica- go gulch, set boxes and is cleaning up his bedrock.
 Matt Hugger, who last season struck his pay at depth of twelve feet, this season ground sluiced out a pit of approximately eighteen hundred feet and began shoveling in on July first. The high value encountered last season, when he took from bedrock pannings running as high as $1.6O, have continued. The heaviest pieces found thus far weigh eighty-five cents. Hugger's' workings are for ground test purposes, and he will take steps to put on machinery next season. He controls eight claims running from Wagner gulch down Mills to the hold ings of Ben Grier.

A Special Thanksgiving Day Paean.

On this day of national ThanksgiV-
ing a special Thanksgiving note will
be sounded by recent American Wis
itors to Europe.
Such visitors record certain distinct
and vivid Impressions:
First, the shock to Uncle Sam, who
knows that in intent and is confident
that in fact he has played the Good
Samaritan to Europe, when bitterly
and ungratefully assailed as merce-
nary and murderous Uncle Shylock.
Next, admiration for the fine fight
which some of the European peoples
are making to eXtricate themselves
from the financial and Industrial bog
in which the World War has mired
them.
Next, sympathetic appreciation Of
the difference between conditions
which curse Europe and which bless
the United States.
And finally fervent Thanksgiving for
this vital difference in conditions, ex.
pressed not in a boastful pharisaic
er-than-thou spirit, but in spirit
of profound, devout and humbly CRATE
full thankfulness.

Approaches to Arlington.

1t is proposed that at the meeting
of the Commission of Fine Arts TO be
held on the I'd of December con-
sideration will be given to the ques-
ton of the treatment of the Airing
ton end of the Memorial Bridge and
the area between that point and the
Rosslyn end Of the Key Bridge. This
is an Opportune time to discuss the
question and to formulate a plan for
a development which is inevitable.
The situation at the Virginia end Of
the Key Bridge is deplorable. The
route to Arlington by that way Is
marred by unsightly structures. The
highway follows a crooked course. 1t
has long been contemplated that this
would be corrected, but no steps have
been taken to that end. Now it Is
proposed to link the two bridge heads
by riverside drive and there is hope
that in this development a general
clearing of the disfiguring environ
ment Of the Key Bridge will be ef-
fected.
The entire area from the Key Bridge
to the Highway Bridge should be
public park with all unsightly struc
lures and uses eliminated. Approach
to Arlington by the two available
bridges Is now undignifled and un-
pleasant. Memorial Bridge will give

have flourished for cons on the Pa
cific Coast, and which have, fortunate
ly, been saved from extinction through
commercial exploitation. The director
Of the Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks has stated that he has
made arrangements with the super
intendent of SeQuoia National Park to
send about five specimens here for
the experiment.

THIS AND THAT
by CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

If one were asked to name the hap
piest night in the life Of any public
man who ever lived he might well
choose the triumphal return of Cicero
through the streets Of Rome follow
ing the thwarting of the conspiracy
of Catiline.
Here Is the picture, as set forth
by Plutarch, and it's recital has power
today to move the heart Of any one
who Is not unmindful of the praise
of his fellow men. Plutarch says:
ut was now evening when he re-
turned from the market place to his
own home. the citizens no longer at
tending him with silence nor in order
but receiving him as he passed with
acclamations and applauSeS and salut-
ing him as the saviour and founder
Of his country.
"A bright light shone through the
streets from the lamps and torches
set up at the doors, and the women
showed lights from the tops of the
houses, to honor Cicero, and to behold
him returning home With splendid
train of the most principal citizens,
among whom We're many who had con-
Quoted great wars, celebrated triumphs
and added to the possessions of the
roman Empire. both by sea and land.
These, as they passed along with
him, acknowledged to one another
that though the Roman people were
indebted to several officers and com.
manders Of that age for riches, spoils
and power, yet to Cicero alone they
owed the safety and security Of all
these, for delivering them from so
great and imminent q danger"

There you have the immemorial ap-
peal of politics.
All this happened 1000 years ago,
but there is. no American who cannot
thrill to 1t, reading in 1926, it is so
real, so human.
This same Marcus Tullius Cicero
was one OF the most human individu-
ais who ever lived. perhaps that is
why one Is irresistibly drawn to like
the man, and to glory in his triumphs,
ana to sorrow over his defects and

the unfortunate sense that the word
has acquired through the centuries.

ers the world has ever seen. In his
efforts to stand in" with all parties,
especially eminent men in power. he
lost prestige and finally his life.
But what a time he had Of it!
The peak Of his career undoubtedly
came that night after the execution
Of Lentulus. Catiline's lieutenant. and
others of the conspirators.
Imagine the way he felt as he
walked through the lighted streets Of
Rome, his name on every tongue.
Lighted streets were rare in those
days. To Cicero. away back there, the
streets he trod that night looked
brighter than Broadway can ever look
to us.
After all. electric light is only a
matter of contrast.
Torches and lamps made a great
snow in the first century before
Christ.

no more kick" out of floodlights than
Cicero undoubtedly got from those
lamps and torches set up by the
