CANADIAN WINTER
IN BIG GOLD RUSH

Continued from First Page.)
| fore this new region is all prospected
! 1t is a big gold field. We had values
running up to 5000 a ton and the
mineral-bearing formation runs right
| across to the Manitoba boundary
There is plenty ef good stuff at Red
Lake yet that has not been staked.'
Red Lake is not difficult to locate
If you lay your hand on a map OF
| Ontario with tho thumb along that
! portion of the Manitoba border which
| intersectS the TranScontinental Rail
way the new field will be found some
where beneath. 1t Is roughly SO
miles from the provincial boundary
and IS miles north of the railway.
The lake itself is in direct line with
, Lac Seul, the frozen Recovered sur
face Of which forms part of the trai
out from Hudson.
1t was just last July that the first
| discovery on which the present rush
| is based was made. A party of -four
men. Lorne Howey, George McNeely
H. =. HOWE and William Morgan
who had gone into the territory on
the strength of a casual geological
report sturck gold after prospecting
for solid month. and proceeded tc
stake out two large groups of claims
Considerable time elapsed before the
! news began to leak out, first to the
ears of the big interests, whose scouts
always are on the alert. Dome and
MacIntyre were the first of the large
mining companies to get wind of the
strike, and Immediately they sent their
engineering experts into the district
After that the news spread rapidly
and even though Winter had set in
hundreds of persons fell to the lure
deserted other workings, office Jobs
and many walks of life, and the rush
was on.
Real Stampede to Come.
The general impression Is that the
real stampede will not start until
Spring breaks and water transporta
ton is possible, but there are plenty
not willing to wait that long. Already
Red Lake Is said to have a population
Of 500, and behind and ahead of our
little party the trail Is dotted by other
seekers after riches.
Word came by courier from Lac
Seul the day before we left that
Lorne Howey was on his way out
| from Red Lake. Pretty soon the
weatherbeaten discoverer of Red
Lake hove into view. clad like ar
| Eskimo in parka and moccaSins
Late that night in the glow of the
red-hot beehive stove in Joe Ken
neally's stopping house, while out
| side a score of huskies chained tC
trees made the darkness ghostly
with their eerie cries, Howey gave
his opinion of the new field and TOLD
something of the discoveries to date
He freely expressed the view thai
Red Lake will prove of even greater
value than Porcupine and Kirkland
Considerable surface work already
has been done in the form of trench
ing. Gold is showing, he says, ovel

BUS SCHEDULE CHANGES.
New Routing During Rush Hours
Effective Today.

officials of the Washington Rapid
Transit Company yesterday an
nounced changes in the schedule Of
busses operating in the District, to be-
come effective today.
The new schedule separates the
Petworth and Sixteenth street routes
to adjust the service on these routes
and to permit of, more frequent head
way on Sixteenth street between
Buchanan and Kennedy streets.
The Lincoln Memorial and Poto-
mac Park routes are consolidated dur
ing the non-rush hours and will ,oper-
ate from Park road. Service to Pc
tomac Park during rush hours will
remain the same as heretofore eX-
cept that an effort has been made to
prov ide more seats during the peak
of the rush through more efficient as
signment of the available equipment.
The same also will be true of the re-
mainder of the rush hour service.
Officials OF the company stated that
traffic will continue to be chacked in
the hope of effectng still further i'm
provements in rush hour service. Be
cause CT traffic concentration during
q short period OF time this presents
a serious problem.

LINCOLN, Nebr.. February IL
University circles are greatly stirred
by n sharp criticism printed in the
current number of the Nebraska
Alumnus. organ of the graduate stu
dents. over the signature of Emmett
V. Maun, who gained an A. b. at
the commencement last June, and who
now, after months tackling of the
world, tells his alma mater right to
her face that she wasted four years
of his life by teaching him things of
no earthly use to him out in the
world.
The editors printed the letter rather
alphabetically, saying they did so for
the purpose of inviting a discussion
of the usefulness of the education the
state university gives to its gradu
ateS.
Many Land on Faces.
Maun says that some graduates
land in nice job kept for them in
the family business circle, and others
land. on their face when they take a
running broad jump into the world.

Maun tells about his several unsuc
cessful efforts to find himself, and
that he Is now confronted by choice
between two jobs, neither of which
provides more than living wage. IT
makes it impossible for him to carry
out his desire to establish a home
He is without credit. He declares his

BANK CALL SHOWS
GAINS IN DEPOSITS
Upward Trend Revealed De-

awaited bank call this morning askin-
,or condition reports at the close Co.
business on April 10.
reports from representative Wash
ington banks, both national and say
ihes, reveal an upward trend in de
p1slls since the last Treasury call.
"nlch was dated December 81.
Losses had been expected by seVera
bankers in total deposits during the
past thfee months, as the period covers
me income tax payments made on o.
DeIofe March -. and these with
draWals in many instances were very
heavy.
Some of the larger accounts are
also reported to have been less active
during the past three months than
lhey were previous to the December
81 call. as business here and all over
the country suffered q lull after
Christmas which lasted we'll into the
present year. although recent bank
clearings reports have shown i'm
proVement.
Figures gathered from Washington
banks today IN the very limited time
