ADMINISTRATION SILENCES (’lllTIES
flit- capacity of President Wilson and his Secretary of
State to handle big things in a broad and statesmanlike
manner has been demonstrated again. The delivery of the
President's Mexican message and the publicity that has been
.vixen to the administration policy to what Wilson and
[b'van have been striving to accomplish have silenced the
opposition to the administration .just as its supporters pre
dicted that it would. All through the complicated and
ha massing negotiations they have adhered to American
ideals of government: they have discriminated between
rich! and wrong clearly: they have ret used to permit their
country's diplomacy to be stained with chicanery in the
slightest maimer: they have been fair and unselfish, patri
otic and generous. At the same time they have been digni
fied, linn and strong. They have not quailed or flinched
on the one hand nor bullied or t hreatened on the gther.
They have done all that was honorable to avoid war, and
have frankly shown that it is tln-ir purpose to continue
doing so. yet none can consider the tone of the notes that
have"been*sent to Huerta without understanding that they
know what t m United States maintains its army and navy
tor, and that it will be used before principle will be sacri
ficed or harm permitted to American citizens.- Alaska Em

DOING THINGS RIGHT
jgj 0 do things right, with all your might —that is a goodly
motto; I've pasted that inside my hat, and if you don't
you'd ought to. To do things right, as leads your light,
with faith and hope abiding; to do your best and let the rest to
Jericho go ■■sliding! With such an aim you'll win the game and
see your fortune founded: and goodly deeds beats any creed that
overman expounded. To do things right, to bravely light,
v. . n fate cuts up unFaTIy, to pay your way from day to day,
and treat your neighbor squarely! That doctrine fills all wants
and stills the doubter's qua'ms and terrors, and gardes him
straight at goodly gait through all the field of errors. To do
your best, within your breast a cheerful heart undaunted—that
is the plan that brings a man all things lie ever wanted. At
finding snares and nests of mares I am not very handy; but
when it comes to finding plums folks say I am a dandy; and
my receipt is short and sweet, an easy one to follow, just do
things right, with all your might —it beats all others hollow! —
Walt Mason.

The following letter, d-P d September '2’2, wa ; re* rived 1 y thej
; [d it a rod Pioneer last Saturday morning, and. among other thing-.
! snohe of the reported new plac r strike on the lower ^ ukon:
Rhodes, King and K.lgar, of !• airbun'-s, went up P ar creek'.
I which empties into the i ukon about !•> msies ir. lew the Russian1
j Mission, on the right bank, or rather a branch of the Yukon called j
| Lngrahagamute slough. About live miles up they made a di-cov
■ cry. A man named Powers panned about one hour and.got $±50
1 hie depth at this point, discovery claim, was about five feet. S :v
j oral others panned and tested the ground with about the same re
sult. On the 8th of September there were ±1 locations. Today
there are at least dOO. About 75 people are there at the present
time. Much of the ground has been ‘'blanketed” because few of;
those who staked were provided with powers of attorney from
those for whom they pretended to locate.
Volney Richmond went down on the same boat I did —the Her
i man —and went over the ground and thought so well of it he lo
'cited a trading post at the mouth of Bear creek, and has ordered ,
and made arrangements to have provisions sufficient to supply i
; 1,000 men for the winter. Hence you see there is something to the
i strike, or he believes there is. Of course I got in but will be co.ua
I polled to have a man on the ground to protect my interests.
Richmond believes there will be another camp here, so do
many others. On the other band, I have talked with several ex
I perieneed prospectors who, while believing good wages may be
sluiced or even rocked on Hear creek, are inclined to believe the
| deposit local and not extensive, although they admit the formation
is tine and inviting. It is well worth watching, and for the reason
'you are proximate thereto, and it may be advantageous to you is
i why I write.
New Strike on Wilson Creek
The Pioneer by the same mail received a communication dated |
j September 8, from Pilot Station, Lower Yukon, containing the fol- j
j lowing:
‘'Reliable information to the effect that A1 Rhodes and Andy
Edgar, prospecting on Wilson creek, a tributary of the Yukon, be j
| tween the Andraeofsky river and Russion Mission, 85 miles above!
| Pilot Station, have found good pay. Discovery has about five feet'
1 of gravel exposed carrying from 3 to 15 cents to the pan. The pay
is lined on three claims. Bedrock has not been reached on account ■
of wet ground Wilson creek is about 16 miles long with several
j feeders. Pay has been located on one feeder. Coarse gold is
within five feet of the surface in one place, 24 claims have been lo- \
| cated.”
