LAKEV|EW MINE

BIG VEIN PROVED UP FOR LONG DISTANCE MAY ALSO CARRY
 PLATINUM VALUES

With free gold showing in vein that varies from IS inches to four and five feet and with a mill ready for operation, the Lakeyiew Mining O.. at Lakeview, Mile 20, on the Alaska Railroad will soon be creat- ing mining history, according to w. F. Mencenbach, superintendent of the operations who is now in Seward.
 Although I have been working out thene for the past four years, test ing out the ore with a small test mill, I am not in position to give complete report at this time, because We are waiting for results from the actual production milling. We know wa have the gold in much bette than paying quantities, but We have another ore that We suspect strongly of containing platinum and reports on which we are awaiting from sey- erat assayers in Alaska and on tho Outside If the assay reports verify oa- convictions you can confidently !oos for a lot of excitement in these parts" said Mencenbach
 There has ofter been expressed great hopes for the Lakeview dis tric- by prospectors who have looked over the country, the idea being that i constitutes a part of a great miner al belt which extends across Kenai Peninsula with remarkable showings in several places. The operations of the Lakeview Mining Co.,, are being financed by a group of Spokane cap italists who ana very optimistic over the results achieved and completely satisfied with prospects for the future after having investigated their vein with a drift tunnel for a distance sufficient to show strong continuity and deep-seated character

The World and All
A WORLD
ny Charles r. Driseoll

We ought to have perpetual peace. We ought to
have equable distribution Of wealth. Men ought to be
born equal TO one another in every way. There ought
to be equal opportunity for everybody. Justice ought
always to proceed from courts Of justice. There ought
to be no prisons. We ought to be able to tell what
kind Of sickness afflicts a man who shoots his neigh
Dor for his ~neighbOrs money. We ought to take the
sick man and, without rebuking him at all, quickly
cure him Of his illness, so that he might never do II
again.
Well, surely. So many things ought to be that are
not. 1t is n fine thing to have ideals TO work toward.
Ideals Of perpetual peace, universal brotherhood. per-
feet understanding, and so on.
But the sane and sensible man realizes full well
that We are living in a certain world and time. Utopia
is glorious-but it isn't here!
Now. ! have known many ideaIists who worked upon
the foolish sumption that Utopia is here if We only
knew it. They we're for perpetual peace, so they IA
vored refusal to fight. under any circumstances, here
and now. They wanted the United States, as a grand
gesture Of Righteousness, to sink her navy deep in the
ocean. right now, this afternoon.
! love these idealists. Some Of them are among my
best friends. They are delightful companions, and
their conversation is inspiring. But thank God for the
practical men! Practical people sometimes become
very irksome. insisting upon dollars. bread and type
writers and guns. But II it weren't for the hard head
ed practical ones, what would happen TO Utopia? I
fear it would vanish in smoke.
I love to speculate in fourth dimensional philoso-
ply. ! love to sit in a half-dark restaurant, in a quiet
corner with a phisolosphical person across the table
from me. and plunge off into the ~uncharted regions of
thought, where a table is not a table. but only the re-
Election Of some fourth dimensional object, and a very
imperfect reflection. at that. We agree that there is
no such thing as absolute time, and that space. As We
commonly sense it. is a delusion.
But presently ! look at my watch. Well, time is
passing in the practical world. One must traverse
some pretieal space and get back to practical work, to
earn practical bread for the most practical children in
the world! It's fine to philosophize, provided we al
ways reeur to the sane realization Of the fact that ~.
live now in a practical world.

Third Party Formed

A third party will not be formed by boilers from
che Kansas City and Houston conventions, according
to New York dispatches, which announce that a third
party has already been formed, and that zhe aforesiI
boilers must be content with a fourth or fifth party
General James A. COxey, Of "Caxeys army fame
has the distinction Of having organized the third party
which is expected TO receive the vote Of the "colored
brethren" Of the south who have heretofore been cast
ig their ballots for the republican candidates
The new party is Of the most pronounced BLACK
and tan" type, and bears the name Of the "lnterracial
Dependent Political Party In addition to receiving
the support Of the negro voters it Is designed to cap
ture the support Of the communist and radical socialist
voters Of the east and north.
General Coxcy, with his usual modesty, nominated
himself as the presidential candidate Of the third
party, and Simon r. W. Drew, a New York negro pas
tor. was selected as his running mate. The third party
convention passed resolutions thanking Mayor William
Thompson Of Chicago for the support rendered Oscar
De Priest, negro candidate for congress on the repub-
lican ticket in a Chicago district.
To southern voters the move started by General
coxey has much the appearance Of comedy, but to the
radical elements Of the north and east and the negro
voters of the south 1t will have considerable appeal,
and his ticket will probably poll as large a vote as any
"boiter' ticket that may be placed in the field after
the Kansas City and Houston conventions.

WILL RI RELIEF COME AS TARIFF RELIEF.
dallas News).

dallas NeWsl.
Senator Smoot il said to promise farm relief Ia
the form Of an Adjustment of the tariff which will
place agriculture and industry on a level. Il is an IN
common statement. ID amounts to an official sdmis-
sion that agriculture is not on a level with industry
now. And it admits that the tariff is to blame. But
it is consistently republican in that it still breaches
that the cure for tariff ills is more tariff.
At least that is one Interpretation OF the promis-
sorry side Of the senator's hints. Free trade would, It
is true, be an adjustment Of the tariff which would
put farming and manufacturing on the same footing.
But Mr.. Shoots whole life in politics is a rejection Of
that solution. We need waste no time supposing that
he is willing to consider il now. 1t may be that he
proposes to raise the tariff on farm products in order
to keep importations down. II is almost certain that
something OF the sort will be urged at Kansas City.
But IL is by no means certain that this will be suffi-
GENTLY convincing to quiet the disgruntled farmers IL
