WILL SEAL GLORY HOLE
AT THE TREADWELL MINE
JUNEAU, May 2S.— Regardless of
vthat may be done in reclaiming the
main workings of the Treadwell mine
which was flooded recently following
a cavein. the fate of the •‘Glory Hole”
is sealed. This famous open work of
the second largest gold mine in the
world is to become a tailing pit.
The glory hole is 500 feet across
and some 1500 feet long. Ore from
this chasm was crushed years ago and
tons of gold extracted. At one time,
it yawned open to a depth of 900 feet.
Then the sides caved in and it tilled
to within 300 feet of, the surface.
This plug of rock was the safety
•atch which prevented the flooding of
the lower workings and enabled the
men below to escape when one of the
big slopes on the 1400 foot level gave
way under the edge of the Gastineau
channel, allowing .the water to pour
into tlie upper drifts and tunnels. The
water soaked through This plug in less
han two hours and thundered down
into the mine.
Many of the stopes in the lower lev
els went great caverns from 200 to
300 feet wide and twice as high and
long. Air imprisoned in these cham
bers 2000 feet below the surface was
compressed until it forced its way
through crevices to the surface under
the long tailing dump and the mud
boiled up in hundreds of places like
so many little craters for hours after

tlie collapse.
The glory hole, while always an at
traction to visitors and tourists, has
long been a menace, and one of the
tirst decisions of the mine chiefs was
to turn the tailings from the mill still
in operation into the chasm, which
will he filled, but it will take years
to complete the job. .

A GREAT SOCIAL PROBLEM.
T* Cat Man Rightly to Adjust Thaos*
solvss to All Othor Mon.
Our great social problem la bow to
make the man at tl:e Isittom loom ao
large ami seem so Important that a'.i
other men will cease to think of him aa
a thing and treat him as a person.
The real so- in I problem out of which
other minor problems grow and of
which they ure really only aggravated
symptom* I* the world old problem of
the right relation between person*.
This i* a fundamental issue and to
solve it would solve all these minor
manifestations. The friendly relation
of men is therefore not alone the gist
of the race problem, hut it I* the gist
of ail sis-hil problem*.
The age long struggle has been how
to get men rightly to adjust themselves
to all other men.
Might adjustment to other men would
mean In the economic realm that no
capitalist would want to heat down
below a living wage the laborer who
made production possible, it would
mean that no laborer would want more
wages and shorter In-urn than the con
dition uf production would stand.
Might adjustment In-tween men would
mean that no landlord would l>e will
ing to live eH*y off rents of houses
which made health and bap-pines* Im
possible to the occupant. It would
mean lu return that no tenant would '
demand more than that for which he
ga.ve a Just returu, and he would pro
tect the Interest of lit* landlord a* he ,
would protect his own interest.
Might adjustment would mean in all j
walks of life the rule of right, not the
rule of might.—Southern Workman.
BIRDLAND DANCE HALLS.
Playhouses and Gardens of tha Austra
lian Bower Birds.
There ore several species of bower
birds, chief aiming them the Satin ami
the Xewton. The Satin liower bird Is
the best known. When the bowers
were first discovered it was supi>osed
dial they were playhouses built by the
native children, but as a matter of fact ■
they tire the dance hails of birdland.
Tin* nests are built In tbe trees and
have no connection with tbe play
houses. The male birds build these lat
ter ami gather every bright ami shin
ing object they can find to adorn tbe
entrance to tbe bower. When il Is com
pleted, according to one who has
watched them, little ‘‘Ht homes” are
given daily, at which the males meet
and pay their court to their ladyloves,
now liowing and scraping, now playing
hide utid seek through the ltower and
now doing an absurdly 0'guitied dance
for their edification.
Newton's bower bird decorates its
bower with fresh flowers every day,
and If a visiting male bird wants to
tight all lie lias to do is to disturb one
of these flowers. The master of the
liower proceeds with the painful duty
of teaching him how to4>ehave in com
pany, wlille the remainder of the party
raise a great racket, but never Inter
fere. A naturalist studying them dis- ;
arranged one of their flowers, but each :
time he did it the liower master rear- :
ranged it with great care.*—National
ideographic Magazine.
Impeachment Cases.
Although one president of the United
States i.lohusoni, one cabinet officer
(Belknap), six United States Judges
and eight governors of states have ;
been impeached since the foundation
of the republic, only one senator, Wil
liam Blount of Tennessee, lias been ar
raigned before tlie bar of the house of
congress to which lie was elected. Of
theeight governors impeached «newa<
acquitted, in three cases the charges .
were dropped, one was permitted to
resign, and fliree were removed. Three
nf the impeached judges were removed,
and three were acquitted. Both Presi
dent Johnson and Secretary Belknap
were acquitted. Politically the last
named impeachment cases were the
most important the United States lias
experienced.—Argonaut.

Leftover Sandwiches.
Sometimes after a party there are
sandwiches left over. Here is an excel
lent way of using them iip: Make a
hatter exactly like you use for pan
cakes and add to it either sugar or
salt, according to whether the sand
wiches are sweet or saroiy. Then
each sandwich is dipped in the hatter
and fried till a golden brown in fa!
from which a faint bluish smoke is ris
ing. Xo matter how dry they are they
are delicious done in tills way.
Tailtale Tommy.
Tommy—1»<> you go to bed very early.
Mrs. Peek?
Mrs. Peck—Yes, Tommy; sometimes '
-when I feel tired.
“You wouldn't go so early if you were :
married to my father, would you?"
“Oh. Tommy, you funny boy! Why
not?”
“ ’Cause my father told mother that
if he were your husband he'd make you 1
sit uu!"—Exchange.

Guard Your Habits.

. Sound Advice.
“Is there no way of stopping these
cyclones?” asked a man of the traveler !
who was recounting his experiences in (
fur countries.
“No.” replied the narrator. “The |
best way is to go right along with ;
