ALASKA JUNEAU’S DISTINCTION. In a seriously considered and well written article on gold mining appearing in the current number of the Engineering and Mining Journal, 8. D. Strauss, Assistant Editor, again calls attention to the great work being done by the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company in its local property. He points out that it has to handle 24 tons of rock in arder to obtain one ounce of gold, the largest quantity of any gold mine in the world. Its nearest competitor in that line is the Mountain Copper property in Shasta County, Calif., which only handles 800 tons daily as compared to Alaska Juneau, and recovers an ounce of gold from 18 tons of rock. Ashanti Mines, on the African Gold Coast, is at the other end of the line, its recovery -averaging an ounce for every ton of or: mined. It is in its volume and low cost operations that the Alaska Juneau has won distinction. It produces a tonnage of about 4,000,000 annually, which is 25 per cent greater than its nearest competitor—Crown Mines in the Transvaal. The lowest cost per ton, with everything included, is achieved by the Alaska Juneau at $.627 per ton of ore. Mountain Copper ranks second with $.817 per ton. Only two mines in the United States are paying more than $500,000 annually in dividends. The Homestake led in 1930 with $2,009,280, and ‘'nis year the Alaska Juneau will k2 the second vitn about $600,000. On the face of showings so iar, the local company's sur- plus account for 1951 will be aimost twice as large as its dividend dishursemen! OASES BY THE THOUSANDS. In this great American Desert of Volsteadia, the thirsty are not altogether lacking sources of relief. In fact, oases are more marked for abundance than for scarcity. This of common knowledge, but even the best informed on it, are apt to be astonished by the figures compiled by Maj. Muurice Campbell, one-time Fed- eral Prohibition Administrator for the New York district. Since he resign-d from the service of the Dry Bureau he hus become editor of a magazine, Repeal, published in New York City, and, as its name would indicate, is devoted to the cause of re- | pealing the Eighteenth Amendn.ent. Maj. Campbel! placed the number of speakeasies operating in the Uni‘ed Staies, not including Als aska, Hawaii and other outlying parts of the country, at 222225. New York State leads the list with 42,000. Illinois is second with 40,000 and Pennsylvania third with 20,000. California, the home of wine grape juice and wine bricks, has 15,000. Three :uore—Massachusetts, Michigan and New Jersey are credited with 10,000 each. In the Dis- trict of Columbia, within the shadow cast by the buildings housing agencies for eradicating oases, there are 500. Arizc:a has 750 Colorado 1,500, Con- necticut 5,000, Delaware 250, Idaho 500, Indiana 2500, Iowa 3,500, Kansas, 1,000, Louisiana 5,000, Maine 1,000, Maryland 5,000, Minnesota 2,000, Mis- souri 3,000, Montana 5000, Nebraska 1500, New Hampshire 1,000, New Mexico 750, the two Dakotas 1,000, Ohio 5000, Oklahoma 2000, Oregon 3,000, Nevada 500, Rhode Island 2,000, Texas 3,500, Utah 750, Vermont 750, Virginia 1,000, Washington 4,000, West Virginia 1,500, Wisconsin 7,500, and Wyoming 500. Alabama, Florida, Georgla, Mississippl, North and Bouth Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas and Kentucky together have a mere 2500. This, however, doesn't _mean that the supply is limited. Outside of New ‘Orleans, where “everything is wide open,” said Maj. ‘Dlmpbell. there are fewer speakeasies than in - any part of the country. This is because of the ppularity of “cawn likker” which is distribuled by the bootleggers for home consumption. 18 in. x 36 in. 27 in.x 35¢c, 45¢, 65c¢, 75¢ Juneau-Young is more or less a matter ! HONEY IN AUTO RADIATOR Reports by the United States Department of Agriculture of the unusual use of honey in the cool- ing system of motor cars attracted rather wide at- tention and led to many inquiries. The statements iwere based on the experience of a small number of motorists in various parts of the country, particular- ly the West. In this region certain motorists ‘were enthus- |iastic as to the possibilities of this food product as a means of preventing boiling as well as freezing in motor car cooling systems. Some of those who have used it for this purpose have reported sat- |isfactory results. Most motorists, however, are likely |to find other material more suitable. | Tests conducted by the Bureau of Standards on | the freezing point of various honey-water mixtures | disclose that it takes two parts of hon:y to one part of water to prevent freezing at 0° F. Such solutions are too viscous to clrculate readily at low ——— temperatures in automobile radiators. As pointed out in other statements by the | Bureau of Entomology, the use of honey in the cooling system of motor cars necessitates absolutely |tight cylinder head gaskets. Seepage of honey into }\hc cylinders fouls the spark plugs, produces much |carbon and pollutes crank-case ofl, thus destroying |its lubricating qualitizs. | Honey, says the department, is cne of the choicest and most valuable of foods and it is very doubtful if the production will ever reach such proportion as to necessitate the surplus being used in auto- mobile radiators. The way to reduce taxes is through governmental economy, the national tax conference has decided. | Thus, that organization now takes its place in line ‘next to the Liquorsham Commission. Jefferson Speaks. (New York World-Telegram.) Today newspaper men are dedicating to a free| and untrammelled press a writing nook in Thomas Jefferson's lovely hilltop home, Monticello, in Vir- ginia. The ceremonies celebrate the recent Untied States Supreme Court decision against the Minne- sota “gag law,” and commemorates the life of the author of the D:claration of Independence, who won for us the guarantees of freedom of speech, press, assemblage, religion and education. On the eve of a winter of distress this event is timely. Some Americans—disregarding history's| lesson that truth, like dynamite, is dangerous only if confined—will urge repressive measures to pun-| ish discontent. So the eternally wise words of | Jefferson come to us across the years with unusual force today:— i “The liberty of speaking and writing guards our |other liberties.” ! “There are rights which it is useless to surrender to the government, and which governments have yet always been found to evade. (Among) these are the rights of thinking and publishing our thoughts by speaking and writing.” “Truth is the proper and sufficient antagonist to jerror, and has nothing to fear from conflict unless, /by human interposition, disarmed of her natural | weapons, free argument and debate.” | “Differences of opinion, when permitted . . . to ipurfly themselves by free discussion, are but as clouds overspreading our lands transiently and leaving our horizon more bright and serene.” “When the press is free and every man able to read, all is well.” “A little rebellion now thing.” and then is a good | Radio Telephone. | (Prince Rupert News.) The city is planning to arrange with the North- vast Telephone Company to tie up with their sys- {tem in order to give Prince Rupert long distance |connection by telephone with the rest of the world. It is proposed by the company to make Prince |Rupert a center for its operations, something very much to be desired. If Prince Rupert failed to cooperate, some other center would be chosen. The plan of co-operation with the company costs (Prince Rupert nothing and the radio telephone will inot affect the lives of the majority of people here. {1t will be a convenience to some of the business ipeople and possibly a few others, but it will be a |step forward in developing Prince Rupert as a |business center. The proposed rate for using it ats it out of the range of possibility for the 1ordmary person, for the time being at any rate. ‘Later the rates may be reduced, possibly to a point where it may become more generally useful. It may be found that lower rates will bring a larger income. The main thing is to get the new systems installed and started. I | Should the company secure the charter for Alaska, it would be still more valuble to Prince Rupert, for it would tie up this city definitely with the huge adjacent territory. Although some history writing may be bunk, a little wider acquaintance with the true history of the American people would go a long way toward reassuring the faint of heart that the bottom hasn't fallen out of this country yet.—(Detroit Free Press.) France has a wine surplus this year of 200,- 000,000 gallons. Well, as we recall it, didn't we trade Brazil some of our wheat for a bunch of its coffee surplus?

He was one of the little band of patriots who went outside the law and “annexed” Fiume with d'An- nunzio. He left Bologna university at 20 when TItaly entered the war,’ soon became a second lieutenant and ended a colonel in the Alpine corps with a silver medal, a bronze | medal and three crosses for valor.! | Back from the war with the red | peril threatening his country, com- | munists occupying the biggest fac- tories, and politics in a bad fix,! Grandi fought in the streets with his squad companions of the then' embryonic Fascismo. With pistol, knife and fist he aided in one of the biggest policing jobs any country ever has had, done by self-appointed rough and ready patriots. Grandi enjoys good food, but eats moderately. He drinks but little wine, usually only the toast at public Gianers. When the min- ister is very busy he has lunch sent to his office. Usually he has ham and eggs, a bottle of water and plenty of fruit. Grandi and his young wife have| two children, Franco, 6 and Simo-| netta, 4. The family lives a very; imple life in a country home, for, Grandi is not a rich man. | ——————— MRS. SOMMERS TO VISIT SISTER NEAR SEATTLE | Mrs. R. J.

HOTEL REQUIRED FOR CABINET OF HUGE RADIO SET Four Tuning Units Requir- ed with Racks of Amplifiers NEW YORK.—How would you like to run a radio receiver so mas- a large hotel as a cabinet? Eli M. Lourie, young engineer. does and gets a tremendous kick out of his job. So enthusiastic does he become sometimes that he forgets to sleep, particularly when he gets lost in some problem. This particular radio receiver really is in two sections, one close to the roof of the Hotel New York- er and the other on a lower floor. ‘The roof apparatus is the radio re- ceiving equipment while the other is the heart of a public address system. Wires lead from the two radio rooms to loudspeakers in slecping rooms, ball rooms, reception rooms and about every place in the build- ing at which it is desired to pipe music, coming over the air or or- iginating in the hotel itself. Four Tuning Units The main receiver looks more likc a broadcast transmitter than a ra- dio set. In addition to four tuning unit it contains several racks of ampli- fiers using 250 tubes in pushpull parallel so designed tHat the ad- dition or subtraction of half of the speakers in the building would have no effect on the volume level The intricate wiring provides that microphones may be cut in at var- ious points in the hotel as well as the radio room itself so that enter- tainment or speeches may be car- ried from many points in the building. The master receiver—really four of them—will handle four radio programs at once, a switch being provided at each speaker for se- lection. Operates a Magic Box Besides running these twin-out- fits, Young Lourie often is seen hurrying through the hotel with a so-called magic box. It contains a dial and a series of buttons in addition to a cable attached to a plug with a half dozen or more prongs. He goes to the ball room and hurries over to a wall receptacle. He makes a hasty connection and starts operating the controls on the box. 'Suddenly music from a radio station fills the room. His box is a remote control device that oper- ates a separate receiver installed in a desk in the roof radio room. ————————— Quartz and placer locatlon no- tices at The Empire. | New Fur Garments in | New Styles | | Cleaning, Repairing, Remodeling | el | Yurman, the Furrier | | Triangle Building PROFESSIONAL | L] [ Heleme W.
