FAIR HARB GERS. The country is passing through anxious days but on every hand the rebirth of confidence is evident. Pessimism giving place that ratio tion of unimp: is departing, o] d fath. In a word, our people have set themselves, under trusted leadership, to win for d and upward from the material glooms and paralyzing stagnation of the past several years They envisage the dawn of a new period, forgetting hardship, inconvenience and tragedy in their urge people. | The present season and the mood and spirit of, the people are in harmony. It is the season of Nature's awakening. the windows of stores glow with spirited hyacinth nodding daffodils and many others of beauty’s tribes. The Easter lilies join and keep They tell us that their innumerable and lovely kinfolk of the hills and meadows will soon be here with a beauty to gladden 4 world that has had its folly driven home to every citizen by adversity and tribulation. They tell ‘'of hope and faith eternal, these fair harbingers of Spring. They shame us for our follies, our sordid complexities, our little faith in the ulti- mate success of the divine scheme of life. It is time that we should “consider the lilies” and ponder, once more, the wisdom of that great declaration, “Man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of things he posszsseth.” the PRAISE FOR ALASKA JUNEAU METHODS. In the March issue of the Engineering and Mining Journal, the leading editorial cites the Alaska Juneau for its efficiency in low-grade gold- ore treatment. It cites the developments made in treatment of low-grade copper ores and the lack of scientific study of low-grade gold-ore deposits generally, with the great local company as an out-\ standing exception. The article, which residents, follows: In comment on an editorial in our es- teemed antipodean contemporary, Chemical Engineering and Mining Review, of Mel- bourne, Australia, that complimented us on the Alaska Juneau issue of last September, Mr. B. Du Faur writes in a subsequent issue of that publication to urge more courage in meeting the expense for determin- ing the reserves in potential deposits of low- grade ore, in the hope that favorable indica- tions would justify large-scale exploitation and plant equipment. Referring to the low- grade coppér enterprises on the American continent, Mr. Du Faur points out that metallurgists, not mining engineers, first recognized the opportunities for successful exploitation, but that persuasive appeal was made for several years before the atten- tion of financiers could be attracted. On one property, Mr. Du Fau adds, about three- quarters of a million dollars was spent to prove grade and extent of ore. “Our Am- erican cousins,” he avers, “had to take a chance in the initial prospecting stage,” but “they won through.” He inquires when British or Australian financiers will show similar courage with some of the low-grade deposits in Australia. The Alaska Juneau enterprise, however, indicates the exception rather than the rule governing gold-mining development in the Americas. Mr. Du Faur is correct in stating that the metallurgist had much to do with the development of America’s low-grade copper properties, but no similar parallel can be drawn in respect to gold mining. A center of financial activity in which could be found a dozen or more busy copper metal- lurgists of the highest rank a decade or two ago failed to provide sustenance for a single consultant in the metallurgy of gold. Devel- opment of copper recovery techniques well suited to each particular ore resulted; but with gold the situation was entirely differ- ent, except in rare instances, of which Alaska Juneau is a conspicuous example. The metallurgist’s plea that a low-grade gold ore could be treated at a profit if the problem were handled by an experienced specialist usually - fell on deaf ears. Little interest could be stimulated in a gold mine ' ‘unless high-grade reserves in quantity were blocked out. “Kich gold deposits are usually of small extent, and no encouragement was therefore given to the suggestion that a large expenditure be made to develop enough ore to justify the devising of a special treatment technique. The difference in force of- influence be- twen the gold metallurgist and the copper metallurgist has been marked, Whereas the base-metal technican was encouraged to per- fect special methods that would be efficient and economical, the directors of most gold- mining enterprises usually decided that a is of interest to all local GENERAL MANAGER | to faith and aism which rests upon the founda- | |also an earnest of much more wholesome results to to hasten the coming of a better day for all the !come.

Much of the success of low-grade copper ore treatment, particularly in regard to bulk leaching, was the result of the bold adapta- | tion of methods developed by the cyanide metallurgist, who can now turn to the work of his colleagues. in the base-metal indus- tries, particularly those responsible for large- { scale concentration by flotation, for inspira- tion and courage to recommend adequate expenditures to determine tonnage and to | predict with confidence the profitable treat- ment of ores of low-grade gold content. The gold metallurgist and ore dresser pioneer- ed in the development of efficient and econ- | omical crushing and classification practices, in the mechanical thickening or dewatering of ore pulp and concentrate, in continuous vacuum filtration, in the development of simple and efficient techniques for the ex- traction of a Soluble metal from an insoluble gangue. If his knowledge and experience were utilized to the same extent tnat the qualifications of the copper metallurgist have been utilized in the last two decades, a new chapter would soon be added to the history of the gold-mining industry. Just when the five days a week, six hours a |day work bill seems assured of enactment by Con- | gress, the announcement is made that it will not cover newspapers, That's the way it always happens to members of the Fourth Estate who probably will have to work another hour or so a day to tell how the 30-hour week is working out. | “Dig Up Gold or You May Get Pinched.” Head- {line in The Empire.

This simplification is in itself its own argu- ment, as a prelude to approach toward the major problem of farm mortgage readjustment on some sound and equitable basis, if all its difficulties of varying conditions shall permit.

(New York World-Telegram.) In the West men to the extent of 200,000 have shaken off the lethargy of unemployment in the cities and on farms lacking markets for their produce and have taken to the hills with picks and pans, hunting gold. A dispatch from Culver City, Cal, yesterday told of a feverish local rush starting there after eight gold nuggets, evidently “solid gold,” were taken from a quartz “pocket” in the side of a ditch four feet benath the surface. Thousands of placer miners scouring the Western country are sald to be earnning from $2 to $10 a day. They are earning something besides that. | They are earning the exhilaration that comes of the honest pursuit of unknown reward. Now the Western gold hunting has reached the stage where there is some talk of introducing bills in Congress to authorize grub staking to widen the hunt and build up the nation’s gold basis for an expanding currency. The spirit of the placer miners trying to convert futility into gold and succeeding recommends itself to the leaders of the nation’s Government and business. The Roosevelt Style. (New York Times.) President Roosevelt’s literary style, as revealed in his State papers so far, impresses one as being more unstudied, more simple than that of any of his predecessors, to go back only to the beginning of the present century. His messages to Congress have been brief, but it does not necessarily follow that they have been terse because of an existing emergency with not a moment to lose. Other Presi- dents have sent urgent mesages to Congress; but have not found it imperative to be sparing in words or to lay aside their accustomed official style. Mr. Roosevelt’s economical and undecorated ut- terances is not to be confounded with the gnomic economy of Calvin Coolidge. The latter's style was not “mannered,” because it was a manner natural to the man, Yet it did have a distinct cachet that drew attention to itself. It was not designedly homespun and epigrammatic, but it turned out to be that, just the same. Except for the reference in Mr. Roosevelt’s inaugural to the fear of fear, one does nob recall any calculated crispness in his statements in the White House. Woodrow Wilson was a conscious stylist. The others — Theodore Roosevelt, Taft, Harding and Hoover — did not strive for literary effect, but nevertheless assumed the official mantle in vari- ous degree. One was aware that the President of the United States was speaking. Mr. Roosevelt's manner today is no different from what it was as Governor of New York. Added to the ever-mounting currency soon will be beer chips.—(St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) and the overlapping of this lay-out was pretty @ she had hammered on the door of El Isa Beth el Ain's room. he | “T t'ink he have sore head and dry mouth this morning.

I am |sorty to know it, because it make |you angry that I know it.” | | To this Margaret made no reply. “Perhaps you know one or two things that I know not, and can tell me. Perhaps I know one or two you know not—ver’ useful to you— and can tell you.” “Thank you,” said Margaret. “Is that the way out?” and pointed «down the passage. , ' “Yes. No. May I spik to you?” \repl‘ied Herr Schlacht. (“Well, you are speaking to me, aren’t you?” “I haf the bleasure of liddle con- verzation, but I mean, could I spik to you about some matters. . . Like friends. Like business friends, mean. I tlink ‘you and I could be ver’ goot friends, and help each other.

Herr Schlacht smiled disarming- - into each other's hands, #What do you mean?” “I tlink I can help you in your effairs, and I t'ink you can help me in my affairs.” “I don't see how I could be of carvice to you,” replied Margaret |coldly, “and I certainly don’t see Low you could help me in any way.
