Trites, substantial, active| mining operator, of the Kensington and Comet gold | mining properties yesterday, is stimulating news not only to everyone interested in mining in this area but to the general public as well, because it is another specific example, of which ther have been several during the past year, of the revival of mining activity in Southeast Alaska. A well known Alaskan, T. J. Donohoe, said shortly | before his death, “The real wealth of Alaska is in the hills, rather than the sea; we have scarcely touched the enormous mineral wealth that awaits development throughout Alaska.” A statement that every Alaskan knows is true, and yet through lack of adequate financing, and former high cost of development work in relation to the price of gold, mining development in the Territory has lagged since the World War. Several hundreds of thousands of dollars were put into the Comet and Kensington properties by D. C. Jackling, Charles Hayden and their associates in 1913-14. The values in the Kensington, particu- larly, were high and substantial recoveries were made. However, the high cost of operating in rela- | tion to the price of gold, caused the shutting down of the properties during the war. The acquisition of these properties by exper\enced.‘ active gold mining operators at the time when the price of gold is up, is definite insurance that the properties will de developed, and put into operation expeditiously. This work will not only help Juneau almost immediately but it will be a stimulus for other properties in this area to become active. Juneau is indeed, in the “heart of the gold belt” and should not forget that much wealth is still waiting in the hills for development. Each time an old property is re-opened or development started on a new one renewed impetus is given to seeking | for and the development of gold mines. Of all cities in the Territory, Juneau should be especially gold conscious and cognizant of what an operating gold mine means to a town, with the | constant example of the Alaska Juneau operation | and its vital importance to the economic welfare of this community. Social Reform Slow. (New York Times.) When President Roosevelt told the Security Con- ference at Washington that there could be no such a thing as hurricane social reform, he seems to have both surprised and piqued some of his own aldes and advisers. They did not like his program of “one step enough for me.” They wanted to go all the way to the goal in a single stretch. Secre- tary Perkins, in fact, let it be known that detailed plans had been drawn for legislation which the President had said must be put aside for the time being. This is doubtless the case. Mr. Roosevelt's characteristic way is to encourage his multitude of counselors to go on with some comprehensive plan, all the time reserving to himself the right| |genial smile will continue to irradiate to decide which should be adopted and which dropped from the schedule for the present. Very likely the elaborate bills of which Miss Perkins and others speak will be duly introduced in Congress, but it is certain that they will not be pressed to enactment in the next session against the Presi- dent’s recommendation. He is known to desire a short session of Congress. It could be congested by worthy projects of social betterment just as easily as by doubtful bills affecting the currency, or by a drive for the bonus, or laws for other special groups. His deliberate choice is to unite on one useful measure and let the rest wait. It must always be borne in mind that the great social changes, such as those proposed, are neces- |sarily slow in reaching the statute book. Who re- |members now that President Hoover also had large ‘and well-studied plans for the security and well- \belnx of the people? He too had his voluminous | reports, his succession of conferences at the White House, all filled with projects designed to be of the |widest benefit. But few of them ever got as far BS Congress, and none of them which had any importance were given the force of law. It is a process which cannot greatly be speeded up. As President Roosevelt said, it is necessary carefully to study the mistakes made by other countries, and then to seek to avoid them. He also emphatically laid down the principle that the financial set-up for all such agencies must not be “unsound.” If this means delay, it also means waiting until the business is well in hand and entirely mastered be-| President’s whom thing not be Doubtless the those fore going ahead with it. jat a time, but they will soon find out that what they think but what he determines will |the order of the day in Congress. New Paralysis Serum. (New York World-Telegram.) Said Dr. William H. Park, Director of the city's | medical research laboratory, announcing what he| thinks is immunization of infantile paralysis, “We wanted to be able to say we had tried it on our-| selves before we asked others to submit to our experiments.” Therefore he and his associates applied the virus of a dreaded and ravaging disease to their own bodies. When they got immunity and no bad effects they tried it on children. Other children will be inoculated as fast as monkeys can yield up their | spinal columns for the serum. The treated children will be examined from time to time during the years to check on the effect of the immunizations. All over the nation are the twisted bodies of victims of infantile paralysis. By the affliction of these can the great new developments of Dr. Maurice Brodie and Dr. Park be measured. To those who hold that only money urge “makes the mare go" and advances civilization this ought to be noted:—Dr. Park, who in the '90s developed diphtheria anti-toxin and since has produced many other gifts to health and medicine, receives from | New York City $7,000 a year. Chairman Biddle. (New York World-Telegram.) Appointment of Francis Biddle as Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board adds another interesting personality to the Administration’s of- ficial family. Like the President, W. Averell Harriman, and other New Dealers, Mr. Biddle is the son of a wealthy and famous American family. As a Philadelphia attorney and civic leader | he has been active in education, child labor re- form, civil liberties and other human welfare causes. He has the warm endorsement of former Chairman | Garrison and the other members of this able board. |If he makes as good a chairman as his predecessor he will live up to the highest hopes of his friends. Mr. Biddle is landing in no bed of roses. He |will be in the center of bitter industrial struggles. |The law is clearly written, but the head of the | judicial board should be a man of ability, courage, Iy |and human understanding. There is said to be a more rapid movement of currency, but we guess it must be in the opposite | direction—(The Boston Herald.) An Australian can stand on his head and drink 12 glasses of beer. No one interferes, as long as it is his own head—(Exchange.) A New York robot can drink whiskey and beer, smoke a cigarette and put its arms around a woman. Huh, any common man can do that—(Florida Times Union.) Here's to the streamline train and the stream- line auto.

I, - ——— 20 YEARS AGO From The Erpire ! s o ——— DECEMBER 1, 1914 That the German army in Po- land, which had been entirely sur- rounded by the Russians, only es- caped annihiliation by dint of great bravery and fighting against over- whelming odds, was the gist of a report received by the Petrograd correspondent of the Pall Mall |Gazett. The results of the te: rific ha'ile were still indefin te and the world awaited the news. The Juneau Library Board an- nounced that the Juneau Public | Library, sponsored by the Draper Club, but managed by an inde- |pendent Loard, would be equipped and open for the public at the end o the present week. Mrs D. Z. McClellan, newly appointed Librarian, had arrived from the south and was busy cataloging the books, which numbered about 1,000 volumes. Those serving on the board were Mrs. P. J. Mahone hairman; Mrs. H. J. Fisher, Mrs les, Goldstein, Mrs. W. E. owell, Mrs. A. P. Kashevaroff, E. W. Pettit and Mrs. H. C. aniels. Plans continued for the “Sour- dough FPestival” and Gus Bakke, Frank Roberts, Sam Harris and Sam Kohn, all old-time sourdoughs & and well known knights of the green cloth of twenty years prev- |iously, were to preside at the rou- |lette, faro, crap and blackjack |tables. A taffy-joint was to be |taken over by a group of Juneau young ladies, the Draper Club had | charge of the children’s prize booth |and Cashiers Harold Post and Guy |McNaughton were to he in charge of the “First Sourdough Bank’ where t{;oy would exchange cur- rency fresh from the Juneau print- ing presses for coin of the realm.
