NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 18, 1916.
Probably Captain Koenig of the
Deutschland Knows very little about
baseball but he is going to try to steal
home again just the same.
The Dion's share of the war ex
penses seems to belong to England.
In the second year of the war the
casualties were only half as great as
In the first year, according to General
Scott.
So Teddy is off to the wilds again.
VV'e know how he feels. When things
don't seem to go right In the world
of men the silent places of th»
aie where the mind regains its bal
tliee aga.n and all things appear in
their true proportions.
President Wilson's Thanksgiving
pioclamation calls attention to the dire
need of many people in Europe and
urges contributions. Americans have
given much directly and indirectly.
Every one in the country who pays
fcr any commodity Is flaying for the
stupendous blunder that brought on
the war. And as people do not like to
pay for another's blunder so It would
seem that few in this country can re
gard the war as anything but an addi
tion to life's burdens. But Americans
are not as a rule so sordid ub this.
A blunder has been made, and all the
world Is paying, those in the theaters
of war the most, the home population
next and the remainder of the world
a little from each person. And It Is
a noble Instinct in man that President
Wilson appeals to when he asks those
whose burdens are light to help thoso
that are heavy laden. Out of our
plenty in material things we can sure
ly give much more. In another way,
too, we can give and that Is of our
compassion for the wounded and for
those who are in sorrow because of
bereavement but that higher under
standing which feels the passions
of those whose countries at war and
tries to replace hatred with kindliness.
Roosevelt's trip to the South Sea
Islands on a hunting and exploring
trip is reminiscent of his departure
for South Africa after the election of
Mr. Taft as president. Then of course
his candidate had won, this time he
has been defeated. There Is a differ
ence at first sight but hardly so on
•xamlnation. Mr. Roosevelt is a politi
cian and a keen Judge of human na
ture. He has been a prominent na
tional figure a3 a critic of the ad
ministration. He has written much
and spoken often especially In the
three months preceding the election.
It cannot be expected that his personal
ambition for the presidency has been
put aside permanently. It has merely
been held In abeyance until the hour
strikes. The colonel knows the dan
ger of becoming an old story with the
people of being too much In the pub
lic eye. So while his proposed trip
may be undertaken by him for a rest
and for the sport and pleasure to be
found In roaming the strange lands of
the southern Pacific there is probably
underlying his departure a well cal
Mlatsd plan to betake himself from
tho public gaze tor uwhilc and to re- 1
appear after a time full of freshness j
and personal Interest to the people of 1
the country. Roosevelt is far-sight
ed In spue of an ocular weakness and
he surely has a plan laid that may or
may not come to full fruition four
years hence.
MINES ARE MADE, NOT FOUND.
Mines are made, not found. It Is
trae that practically every' gold camp
In the world had, as Its Initial dis
covery, on outcrop of such promise
that the mnkmg of a mine was com
paratively an easy matter. That’s
how gold camps are found. The orig
inal discovery is revealed by nature
through outcroppings of' the vein,
ledge or deposit.
The point we wish to emphasize is
that too many prospectors apparent
ly go on the theory that an outcrop
of mineral is a mine, and when a pos
sible investor happens along, the price
askid is tor a developed mine rather
than for a prospect that another
suck of powder may put on the "bum,"
to use the ligure of speech. If such
u policy is pursued by the prospector,
the camp's development will be slow
Indeed. It takes the cxpedlture of
much money to develop a gold quartz
prospect Into a mine. It takes the ap
plication of energy and downright
hard work, it requires unbounded
faith and preserverencc, in the face
of disappointments that are sure to
be met with in the making of a mine.
The prospectors’ work in finding the
prospect, hurd and trying In Itself, is
not to be compared with the effort put
forth by the mine operator in making
that prospect a mine.
Hence it is that possible investors
in a mining camp will not undertake
to develop a prospect that the discov
erer holes on too harsh terms. The
investor must be assured that he will
have an opportunity of doing some
dei f lopment work before he will pay
any c m iderable money. In o’bei
•voids, t.'.e prospector must take a
chance w.Ui the mine operator. If
the prospect turns out to be a mine
•ooUi will i, i. ke money.—Anchorage

LOWER CALIFORNIA.
There Is one part of Mexico which
has kept out of all of the troubles and
revolutionary movements which have
anlicced all of the rest of that much
be-uevilcd country. Lower Caifornia
has apparently been free from factious
and from t'netionu.1 disturbance. Qov.
Cantu, of Lower California, has re
fused to take sides in any of the dis
turbances, b>.giiin.ng with the Madero
uprising against Diaz, and continuing
down to the present time. He has,
as he puls it, remained neutral. The
relations between the Alexicuns along
the northern border of Lower Cali
fornia and the Americana on our side
of the line have always remained
friendly.
It haa been somewhat of a mystery
why our government should have
sent so many of the national guards
men to the border of southern Cali
fornia. where there was practically no
probability of any raids on our terri
toyr or any disturbance of the friendly
relations between the two countries, or
why it should continue to retain them
there in considerabel numbers.
The governor of Lower California
hn3 kept the wheels of industry mov
ing in that section. The Los Angeles
Times record that ,in pursuance of his
constructive policy, ho has now In
hand a project for the construction
of a railroad from the border of Im
perial country, California, where the
American troops are now stationed,
to tide water on the Gulf of Cali
fornia, thus giving an ocean outlet for
of the products of the Imperial val
ley on both sides of the line. This
would be of inestimable benefit to
tho Americans In the Imperial valley
us well as to the Mexicans themselves.
The Times sce3 no reason why the
project should not be carried through,
it would be a paying line and so en
tirely under control of the local au
thorities and there is no probability
of Interference with It by any of the
contending factions in Mexico proper.

THE WEARINESS OF WEALTH.
Interviewed for the American Maga
zine, Charles M. Schwab remarks that
there Is no enjoyment In great wealth

to $12,000 a year 13 getting enough to I
satisfy all his needs, and that to get j
more is to be invite unhappiness.
“One soon wearies," he says, "of rid
ing about for pleasure in private
yachts and private cars.”
This 13 the sort of thing which
everybody hears at one time or an
other and which nobody wholly be
lieves. Mr. Schwab happens to pre
fer power to other things that money
can buy. Dominance In big business
takes the place with him which the
pursuit of pleasure holds with some
other man.
Mr. Morgan went In for world pow
er in finance, but did not despise hi3
yacht or his art collections. He did
not prate of a lack of enjoyment in
.he smaller personal satisfaction pos
sible through his groat wealth..
To men of ordlnanry means the
luxuries born of wealth are most con
spicuous, most appealing. Private
yachts and private trains and motor
cars and palatial homes are visible,
tangible things. Men fortunately,
can be content without them, but the
conviction that they are altogether a
weariness will be difficult to carry.
