 This has been done. Prosperity is now at hand for the. gold mining in dustry and, as consequence, for this community. To what heights it will soar it is difficult to visualize. A new horizon looms, staggering in it's po- tentialities. Of this be assured, that it means the improvement of the con- dition of our courageous and hard working prospectors, miners and busi- ness men; the continued operation of the gold properties now being mined, and stimulus and incentive to pros pecting and mining that will result in new discoveries and rentwed develop ments-

EARLY MAN.
Detroit Free Press.)

Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, a British anthropolgist, gives a new new twist to the perennial .specula- ton about mans origin when he stat ed to the International Geological Congress at Washington a few days ago his belief that the original Gar den of Eden lay in Africa. The basis for Sir Arthur,s conversion from the standard supposition that mankind developed somewhere north or west of the Himalayas was the evidence turned up by Dr. l.. s. B. Leakey in East Africa within the past decade.
 Dr. Leakey has found relics of Homo Sapiens in the Ric valley of Africa lying in earth and mock de- posits much older than the geological formations in which specimens of creatures similar to man had been found previously in Java, China, Eng and and Germany. Although the Af- rican mhabitant lived long before these other ancestors of mankind, he appears to be related much more closely to man as we know him today.
 Sir Arthur explains this by suppos- ing that all the early forms of man. kind successively developed in a par ticular locality, and spread out from that lcality in series of migrations. At any one period, the highest devel- opment of man-ike creatures would have been found at the home, or head quarters, of mankind, and earlier and ruder examples of that type at vari- 0us distances.
 One weakness of this theory is that the age of the African Homo Sapiens remains has been determined from fossils of extinct animals with which they were mixed. 1t is possible that these animals may have fingered longer in Africa than had been sup posed, instead of man appearing there earlier than elsewhere.
 Assuming that not to be true, as Sir Arthur does, the conclusion is fauned that man as we know him

 President Roosevelt's order liting the embargo against the shipment of newly mined gold marks a definite epoch in the gold mining industry
 When the President placed an ena- bargo on gold shipments last April it forced the miner to sell his gold to the United States Mint at the price of $20.67, and this in a depreciated currency, although prior to that time he was entitled to gold if he SC de- sired.
 This order was followed by another, which required all newly mined gold to be sold at the Mint, although the world market paid far higher price The gold mining industry was being penalized the difference between per ounce paid by the United States and the price of approximately $50 per ounce paid in the world market.
 The existence and prosperity of the gold mining industry depends upon the margin between cost of produc- tion and the price received for the gold. Because of the rising cost of food and supplies generally, brought about by the imitation of the gold dol lar and the employment codes, the mining industry was fast approach ing the position it occupied during the years immediately following the World War, when high cost of produc- tion caused shutdown of many gold producing properties in the States and Alaska, and the discontinuance of mining development from which Interior Alaska has been but slowly emerging during the last few years.
 In the face of rising prices, shart- ened hours, and the announced deter nination of the President to restore 1926 prices, it was inevitable that, if the mining industry was not tod le

For an instant the noiseless

against him the more savagely.

On the other side of the door,
in the shabby living room OF

hopes in a single evening, the
collapse of the brilliant, excit-
ing future she had pictured,
was too much for her to bear.
She hated Julian Haverholt.
How she hated him!
It did not occur to her that
she might still accept the bridge
experts glittering offer. His
action, followed by his meaning
less, insincere apology had made
acceptance impossible to her.
Many times she had heard
scandalouS rumorS concerning
various of his secretaries. She
had hoped those rumors to be
untrue. But at the first avail
able opportunity Julian Haver-
holt had shown her just what
her position with him would
be. To live III mis- house with
