FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July 24.- Alaska's golden heart is throbbing again, it's beat quickened by mo chanical giants which are displac- ing the hardy prospector of the adventurous gold rush days 30 years ago.
 Modern marvels of the gold in- dustry, huge hydraulic dredges supplemented with novel methods, have attracted new life to this vast district in the very heart oi Alaska Streams where the sour dough iabored with pick and shov. ei will be mined again.
 Ice and frozen earth, long the enemy of the Alaskan placer min. CT. have been conquered by ex- tansive systems of cold water thawing, and gold which the early fortune seeker failed to get will be taken by machines from the gravel of many creeks.
 Large scale operations, made possible by the expenditure of more than $10,000,000, were start ed this summer after two years of preparation. During this time the Fairbanks Exploration con- pany, a subsidiary of the United States Smelling and Refining Co.,. constructed an S5-mile canal and an electrical power plant to de- velop 5,0C0 horsepower
 A network of pipes was built to make possible the thawing of ice and frozen ground by the pres sure of cold water, thus loosenins the gold-bearing gravel for two dredges. This methol of thaw- ing was adopted after earlier eX- periences with steam and build ing of fires on the surface of the ground mad proved too costly. The company also erected here the farthest north fireproof office in North America.
 Five more dredges will be add ed to the operations within the next two years. It will take from 25 to 30 years, it is believed, to wash the known gold-bearing gray el beds near here, with exten- sions to adjacent territory assur-

Attractions At Theatres
HARRY CAREY AT
 PALACE, TONIGHT

One of the most realistic fist fights ever pictured on the silver sheet is that in which Harry Carey star. and Lee Shumway, villain engage aboard Sacramento river steamboat, in scene of Carey's latest star photoplay, "The Mar From Red Gulch," which will be displayed.-at the Palace for two days, starting tonight.
 In this dramatic photoplay, bas- ed on Bret Harte's famous story "The Idyl of Red Gulch," the scenes of which are laid in the California Sierras in the golden days of '49, Sandy is genial whole-souled gold miner whd swears to avenge the murder of . his partner by Lasham, portrayed by Mir. Shumway. Lasham .5 . gambler and all round bad man for whom Sandy is searching. Un- der fictitious name, Lasham meets Betsey, the girl whom San dy loves, and on the pretext of taking her to her long-lost sister the wife of Sandy's partner, en- tices her to accompany him on a steamboat ride to Sandy Bar , where he attempts to force his love upon her
 When Sandy learns of this, he follows the steamboat on horse- back and swimming to the vessel boards it in time to save Betsey Then follows a fierce battle in which Sandy is victorious and the sequel of which is Lasham's death beneath the stern wheel of the steamer. The various stages of the battle are admirably pictured and prove quite thrilling.
 In the supporting cast are in cluded Frank Campeau, Mark Hamilton. Doris Lloyd, Frank Nor cross, Mickey Moore and Virginia Davis. as s H4

,ng years Of additional production. More than 1,c00 person were em- ployed during the preliminary work, out with the start Of actual mining this number was cut te 500.
 Government officials in Alaska predict that the hundreds of min- ing claims purchased by the ex- ploration firm alorg the interior streams will yield from $10G.000,. 900 to s150,000.000 in gold. Con- pany oifisers, however, make a much lower estimate of about $50,000,0 GOO.
 Introduction of the giganti placer operations has sent tho population of Fairbanks upward, but the. mushroom growth that foi- lowed the first discovery of gold, is lacking. At the time of the great rush the town boasted 10000 inhabitants. Within few years the number dwindled to less than 1000, but the revival of mining has sent the total to near 4,000.
