Signs that We gold will be mined with elect , business con- ferences, airplanes and other modern agencles instead of with the shovel pan, pick and gun of 50 years a have begun to appear. Two aviators from Bishop, C: brought i » and selected the m stretch of dese for a landing as a center operations. Stockholders in the company formed by Frank Horton, Weepah discoverer, gathered on the scene for a confer- ence, and the Nei -California Power Co. was making to run lines to the new Eldorado. Road crews by Saturday will have a new road open from Tonopah to ‘Weepah, making the distance 28 miles. Typical Gold Camp. In spite of the appearance of mod ern elements, the prospectors arriving make up a type which gives Weepah the atmosphere of real gold camp. Among them is Kannia, secretary of the Abitibi Mining Co. at La Sarre, Ontario, who admits he broke certain speed records getting here. And there is “Shorty” Kendall, who is known in all the gold camps for his dry humor and his 6 feet 9. Bddie Mead of New York, who sold the Cash Boy Mine here three ve: ago for $750,000, is on the scene, Charles J.

'This article describes the status of commer- Cial” aviation { BY FREDERICK R. NEELY. | Before the public can fly with safe {and profit, there must be airways to fly on, good planes to fly in, good pilots to fly the planes and modern iliti to combat the ever-threaten d treacherous weather problem is just as forceful in ed § is in Europe, Asia, . or South America, 2 people an inducement to travel by air and annihilate time and distance. And this problem has been tackled and grappled with by the aeronautics branch of the Department of Com merce, acting under the provision: the air commerce 2 of 1926, which called upon the Secretary of Com- merce “to encourage and regulate the use of aircraft in commerce and for other purposes.” It has not solved in its entirety in the nine months the branch has been in ex- istence, but the act has contributed to the cause of commercial and pri- vate flying to such a degree that the branch offers the prediction that 000,000 miles will have been flown by the' end of the present calendar year. D As a_res does the svoundmar ecause he has no confidence in either pilot or plane for even a hop around his city. No longer does he have to ir that he will get lost, which prob L will end in disaster, if he goes out érosscountry in the hands of a commercial_pilot who is making his first trip. No longer need he f that weather at the end of his desti nation will preclude a landing or the successful completion of his trip. And i he wants to fly at night it will not | be an expedition into inky darkn: as the ay is lighted and facilitie are available for an emergency land ing. The menace to civilian flying In the | st few years was the honorable and | honest yet reckless and careless | “gypsy” pilot, who brought his war- time built airplane down on the coun- try fairgrounds and took up passen- | gers at $5 or $10 a hop. “That night | he would leave it exposed to the ele- | ments and the next morning the | patched-up craft and the often gres ficulties Overcome. of the act no longer itious but skeptical en | and inexperienced pilot would shove off to the mext city or town and re- peat the operation. Sometimes his plane fell apart or became disabled in the air and crashed, bringing seri- injury or death to himself and | enger. | The accident would be broadc e would shake their heads and ““Oh, those deadly things. Don’t ch you going up in | those death-dealing contraptions.” But aeronautics has been freed of that parasite on its good name, and now, or possibly it would be better to ay after the first of July, the skeptic can board a plane, see a certificate of airworthiness in the cockpit, de- mand the presentation of the pilot’s license, both of which are issued by the Department of Commerce only after rigid examinations, then permit | the pilot to “give ’er the gun” and rush off the ground in peace and hap- piness for an enjoyable first flight. Danger Element Cut. The danger element has been re- duced to the minimum by the drastic regulations. They went into effect December 31, 1926, but that part call- ing for licensing of pilots and registra- tion of planes has been extended to July 1, provided application for the license has been filed with the Secre- tary of Commerce by May 10. That means-that every pilot and plane does not have to produce the necessar dentials until July 1 if they already have been applied for. Granted that public confidence in the safety of civillan flying has mount- ed in leaps and bounds since the pro- t and s covered started feverish activity in the district and a rush from here. Many claims are being staked out. The Rand district had produced mil- Mons of dollars in gold and silver in recent years. It is an area of deep mines. A discovery running $700 in gold and $1,900 in silver to the ton recently was made at one of the deep workings there. _— \ Bouthern Road’s Expansion Plans. DURHAM, N.

"'ADAMS PRINTING IN A HURRY G mulgation of the regulations, and that the public honestly believes the air- plane is safe providing the pilot com- plies with the regulations which are obligatory, then the next task for the department is to make it a profitable vehicle to the operators and to the people. The question of acquiring proper aireraft to fly for all purposes is no longer surmounting. Planes and en- gines, both reliable and dependable, are on the market today, and the only interest the department has in them is to see that they are alrworthy. So to “encourage and regulate the use of aircraft in commerce” the de- partment must provide airways for individuals and companies to fly over. Imagine the task ahead of a company originating in Washington for the purpose of carrying passengers to Georgia on a 24-hour schedule. It would mean the company would have to lease intermediate fields for emer- gency landings and light the airway between the two places. pany did undertake this task, what would prevent another company or | individual from taking advantage of this work and expense and using it without cost. The air is free and noth- ing could prevent encroachment on the airline. Airways Are Opened. Therefore the department has opened airways, leased emergency landing flelds, lighted them, charted them and issued maps for navigation. In addition it has provided radio and telephone facilities for the dissemina- tion of weather information. To date it has charted seventeen airlines, ex- clusive of the Postoffice Department’s transcontinental air mail route. True, most of these routes are be- ing flown over regularly by contract air mail companies, both ~day and night, but_ the invitation is standing to the public to “come on up, the are fine.” At any rate, those s are in existence and the pub- lic would be wise to use them in pref- erence to uncharted wildernesses. The routes and the companies or in- dividuals operating_ over them on schedule include: Boston-New York, by Colonial Air Transport; Chicago- st. Louis, Robertson Aircraft Corpo- ration; Chicago-Dallas, National Alr Transport; Salt Lake City-Los An- zeles, Western Air Express; Pasco- Elko, Walter T. Varney; Detroit- Cleveland, Ford Motor Company; De- troit-Chicago, Ford Motor Company Seattle-Los Angeles, Pacific Air Trans- port; Chicago-Twin Cities, Northwest Airways; Atlanta-Jacksonville-Miami, Florida Airw Cleveland-Pittsburgh, Clifford T Cheyenne-Pueblo, Colo- rado Afrways; Seattle-Victoria, Edward 1; thur E. Cambas; Cleveland-Loulsville, ansas Afreraft Corporation; Detroit- nd Rapids, Stout Air Services. The Philadelphia-Washington-Nor- folk route of the Philadelphia Rapid ransit Company, now inactive, comes under the jurisdictlon of the depart- ment, as does the recently projected New York to Atlanta route, a contract to carry mail and night over which has just been granted by the Postoffice Department to the Plicairn Airplane Company of Philadelphia. The department now is working on plans for lighting this airway, but it suitable landing place for the Pitcairn planes, and also to light the airport.

The airways and the transconti- nental Government line were served by a net of 50 Weather Burean offices on regular status and 26 Weather Bureau and 3 Signal Corps upper air stations. Beginning July 1 the De- partment of Commerce will assume the communication of weather data along the airways. Eventually a “ground” system of communication, by radiophone or by land wires, may connect every station stop of future airways. This_ground-system communication could furnish weather conditions and forecasts from points along the route in advance of a flight, report de partures and arrivals of aircraft and carry on other Government busines involved in the duties of the Depart- ment of Commerce in respect to air navigation and of other departments, in addition to the communication with the pilot. The total appropriations of the department’s aeronautic branch for the fiscal year 1928 are $3,791,500, of which amount $3,091,500 is for “aids to navigation.” REBUILDING OF BRICK SIDEWALKS URGED Northeast Citizens Told Five-year Program Would Replace All An- tiquated Construction. the will 7,737 system of the the main, on ric beacons of | re must 3 wdio heac tele. in | his location | into h t w re was fur: The rebuilding of all brick sid walks in the city with concrete con- struction was adyocated by the North- east Citizens’ Association, which adopted a. resolution proposed by Ros- coe Jenkins, a member of the associa- tion, at its meeting last night in the Ludlow School, Sixth and G streets northeast.

If these higher rate enacted, the American export lum trade would be dealt a serious w. The United States now sells to pan about one billion feet a year. he projected tariff would, our trade authorities declare, fatally curtail, if ¢ wipe out, one of the larg st and hitherto most dependable for- cign markets for the products of American forests. The annual production of lumber in the United States is 38 billlon board feet. About 94 per cent is consumed at home. Roundly two and one-ha billion feet, or 6 per cent of the total, xported annually to markets the world over. Nearly half of the entire export volume is now taken by Japan. American Jumber is generally found superior to foreign-grown timber. The American o, demand for the lumber products now exported is so fully supplied that foreign mar for the enormous surplus have become indispensable. Defensive Plans Evolved, tened with the losa of their » Japanese trade, owr lumber turers have lost no time in evolving defensive plans. They be- ieve the most effective weapon at thelr command is the intensive development of the “rayon” industry, the manu- tacture of the which has been made th st and successful trade in the United States t few years. Silk is the big item in Japan's rich export with this mtry. It is the anchor of 1pane onomic well-being.

Last r when Secretary Hoover and the Department of Commerce sub- mitted to the House committee on In- tate and foreign commerce their arresting report on “Foreign Combina- ns to Control Prices of Raw M rials,” the observations rding * were made: ince w silk indus this country involving (in 1919) in- vested capital between six and seven hundred millions dollars and produc ing in 1923 silk goods valued at some- thing like $800,000,000, from an eco- ilk s dispensable to the maintenance of this indus But in another way it is not. We could get along without a pound of silk if it was absolutely rec- essary, except possibly for one or two war purposes, such as its use in para- chutes and gunpowder bags. Rayon might geplace every pound of silk, if it_were absolutely necessary. The silk mills in this country could be adapted to the use of this fiber.

If the Japanese new tariff becomes law, its rates on American lamber will be practically prohibitive, As contern- plated there will be tariffs of $4 per thousand feet for large 8y res; $8.50 per thousand feet for small squares: $12.50 per thousand feet for boards, and $4 per thousand feet for iogs. Nof. only would these duties shut out American imports, but they would au- tomatically result in glutting the American home market with an unex- able surplus. alker D. Hines, director general of military railroads at home and in Europe during the World War, is the chief executive of the Textilo Insti- tute at New York. He is under. stood to sympathize with the view that wider utilization of American forest products for artificial silk pro- duction will serve a_double purpose. 1t would do away with the necessity of exporting lumber, while simulta- neously removing the need of im- porting silk. ~Already bills have been submitted ‘to Congress providing large funds for the Department of Agriculture, to be expended in in- vestigating new fields of usefulness for American forestry materfal. Among these fields the “rayon” in- dustry 1s ranked as supreme. If an insurmountable Japanese tariff wall s raised against our lumber, the time may not be far off when the United States will erect an equally effective, though ~ different kind of, barrier against Japan's silk.

By the Assoclated Press, HAVANA, March 15.—It f; - mated that fires in sugar cang fl'e”l‘(ti‘s during the past month have stripped the leaves and tops from half a billion pounds of standing stalks.

Tt is thought the fire at central Miranda, Oriente province, was acci- dental. The planters are hoping no rain will fall within a week, so there will be no fermentation of the burned cane and consequent loss of the sugar content of the juice. When a cane- fleld burns only the leaves on the stalks are actually burned. The mois- ture in the stalk prevents the cane itself from being burned. Immediately after the fire, however, the stalks must be cut and hurried to the grinders before rain falls, or before a week passes, in order to pre- vent fermentatjon. Owing to the limitation placed on the amount of the sugar output for the present harvest, every planter will have to leave some of his cane uncut and permit it to grow until the next harvest season.

The Burmese are totally different from the rest of the Indians in racial type—Mongoloid rather than Aryan. They are more docile, much less in- fected with the secession movement, though this has spread and is spread- ing with what the British scornfully call “Babu_infection” from Bengal across the shallow bay. I found temple restrictions in Burma, however, en- forcing on the white man the obliga- tion of taking off his socks as well as his shoes and polluting his sacred white skin with the unparticular tem- ple floors. A host of such small signs in Burma show that the rule of the British carries no more the sacred sanction of Kipling days.
