Mcefsteak is worth £1 per pound, and none

of merchandise to an individual under any j
circumstance-' or for any price, so you can j
see what a monopoly they have. Neither |
can you ship a pound of stuff out of here !
unless it is sold to them. They have the j
biggest monopoly on earth, and know how .
to use it; but taking everything into con- i
sidf ration, it is the greatest country in the \
world today. Gold is med in exchange for !
everything, and you never see any cur
rency. There were four million dollars in
gold shipped out of hero this summer,
against less than ¥100,000 last summer.
Next year we expect to turn out over $10,
000,000. This district is in the disputed
territory, 160 miles from Circle Cty, and j
the Canadian government has established a ]
custom house'here and collects duty on all ,
goods shipped from the States. There are
forty mounted police stationed along the
posts. All other mining camps are de- !
sorted. This is the greatest excitement you
over saw, uul new strikes are being made ;
every day. Some come from the whaling
and sealing grounds, walking all the way
from 500 to 1.000 miles. People have j
started to dig here without a cent and in
two weeks find dirt that promises ¥2,000,
000 or more. It is impossible to state at
! -i-sent how long the mines will last, but
j eld miner.- from California, South Africa
ml Australia think that they arc good for
twenty years. What new discoveries will
bring forth is, of course, mere conjecture,
but they may extend the time to fifty or
. n one hundred years. Be this a- it may.
these mines are certainly a wonder, end
the outside world will hardly believe it.

is to come to I>yca and then over the Chit :

PROVINCIAL NEW YORK
Remote places like Chicago anil Phila
delphia still cling with pitiful provincialism
to the concept of a presidential election as a
more or less national event, participated in
by some '5.000,000 or 20.000,000 voters.
Poor nuts, they cannot live in New York.
On Manhattan island only and alone is
glimpsed the fundamental truth that a presi
dential election consists of nothing more or
less than “coming down to Harlem river.' j
One candidate comes clown to Harlem river |
and (he other goes up to Harlem river. That j
i- all there is t-> it. Strange that otherwise 1
fairly intelligent persons fail to grasp so i
simple and concrete a fact.
Accordingly, when it tran-pired that
Hughes had came down to Harlem riverj
with some perfectly goad hundreds of thou- 1
sands majority. New A ork knew that the J
election was over. A mere matter of detail !
to send up bombs, “Hashes” and extras. The |
country had spoken. All the big-headed .
metropolitan Wilson papers gave it up. The .
stuff was off. Hughes wins.
Long editorials, explaining how it hap- |
poned. No need of a telegraph editor local |
bureau the whole cheese. Ineffable sadness
to find next day that a part presumed to
be greater than the whole. Can there be
other ball players than the Giants? Could
human beings survive west of the Jersey !
Highlands? Indianapolis Star.

LETTER FROM THE ANIAK
TELLS OF LAST DAYS
of duncan McDonnell
A letter from Duke E. Stubbs, dated
Aniak, January 24, gives details of the
pathetic end of Duncan McDonnell, the news
of whose death was published in last week’s
Pioneer, and of the terrible experiences of
the unfortunate man which led to his de
mise. The letter iw as follows:
“Duncan McDonne’l died at 2d minutes
to 1 o’clock on the morning of January 24.
after suffering terribly for seventeen days.
!Is mind wandered considerably up to
within twenty-four hours of the end, after
which he made no further signs that he
recognized anyone about Ins bedside.
A Terrible Journey
"On the morning of January 7 Mr. Mc
Donnell left Discovery cabin, on Bear crock,
! where Guy Groat and Oscar Henderson are
- -topping temporarily, to go to Ophir creek.
I The mil leads some eight miles up Bear
| creek, all of which is above timber line,
i to the pass between Bear and Ophir creeks,
[ which is a somewhat steep and narrow pass,
in which the wind blows at times with
great violence.
"lie was blinded by the violence of the
wind and particles of snow hurled along
with it, and turned back to return to DO
eovery cabin. On the journey back, which
ie made with great difficulty because ot bis
blindness, he got his feet and legs wet in
overtimes' or by breaking through the thin
ice on Bear creek. Because of this, to- ■
wards the last he coi Id only travel on his |
hands and knees.
"It was while thus traveling, on the sec- j
nil night, having been two days and one :
night in arriving at this point, that the
Jogs began barking violently, which drew j
;hc attention of the boy=, and he was found I
crawling on part the cabin, and frozen in u j
most horrible manner.
"The temperature during this time was |
extremely low, as recorded by a government
thermometer. On January 7 it reached 30 j
degrees below zero; on January S, 39 be- ;
low. and on January 9, 43 below.
"Guy Groat, Mike McDermott end J. A. ;!
Davidson brought McDonnell from L"ar to j
Henry Howard’s cabin, on Ophir creek.
Charles Castleman and William C ribby ;
started for the Kuskokwim river at Ohaga- j
mute with him. and were caught by a storm
at Whitefish lake, and were compelled to
camp two er three nights, and suffered great
hardships. Fred Webster and William Me- j
Lean then traveled with him from Ohaga- j
mute to Kolmakotl, where Mrs. Stubb- [
nursed him until death relieved his suffer- ■
ings.
Physician's Fast Trip to Render Aid
“The miners arrived at K lmakoff witu
McDonnell on the 17th. ten day- after he
had had his awful experience. Arthur \\d
fis undertook the trip to Ioitarod to secure
nerticsl aid. He reached Flat late in the
afternoon, and an hour later the services
«f Dr. H. R. Moore were secured. Tin
doctor started on the long journey behind
one of the fastest dog teams, which was
volunteered for his use, anil arrived at
Louis Nelson's Bonanza roadhouse in less
than two hours, making an average of about
seven miles an hour, despite the loss of a
brake en route.
“At the roadhouse Louis Nelson was wait
ing with his large, fast team of dogs, and
left in a few minutes for Stevens & Ko
nechney's camp, on Crooked. This part of
the tra'l is the worst on the whole trip,
being the part where the trail crosses the
mountains, and all of it is through timber,
where the snow is very deep. Besides, the
most of the trip was made in the dark.
“At Stevens & Konechney’s camp A. A.
Burglin was waiting with his team, and
took Dr. Moore to the mouth of Crooked,
where Dennis Parent piloted the doctor the
balance of his journey, stopping twice to
hitch in fresh dogs, arriving at his destina
tion just after midnight, making a record
trip for the entire distance, and hours ahead
of expectations. The entire trip was the
fastest that has ever been made, even when
the trails were at their best, which was not
‘he ease just after the Dig storm.
“Dr. Moore found his patient still alive, '
-,-nd conscious part of the time, but iu the j
most serious condition, and still be alive, !
of any case of freezing, probably, that has |
ever occurred in this section. Dr. Moore j
used every effort at the command of his i
medical skill to relieve the intense sufferings ;
of the patient, but the case was beyond j
human help.
"Only the highest praise can be expressed j
for the sacrifices and hardship Dr. Moore
vent through to answer the eaii for medical j
".id, which he did cheerfully, and with en- j
tire disregard of his personal affairs.
"McDonnell’s home was three miles be- i
low Kolmakoff. He owned interests in
quartz claims about eighteen miles back of I
the Russian Mission mountains, besides some ;
placer claims on Bear creek, which he had j
gone to look after when he met with his
mishap. f j
"Burial will take place on the bluffs on ;
the right limit of the Kuskokwim river,
across from his old home.’’
A Good Samaritan
Dr. Moore returned to Flat late on the
evening of Friday, January 2ti. He spoke
in deep appreciation of "that Good Samari
tan of the Kuskokwim.” Mrs. Duke L
Stubbs, who, he says, gave all she had for
the relief of the sufferer.

TUNGSTEN
High-speed tool steel contains from 5 to !
17 per cent of tungsten, according to its |
quality. If 'you put a shrapnel round in a j
lathe and start to work it down with a tool i
of ordinary steel, you cannot exceed from I
eight to ten feet a minute in your cutting ;
speed, because the ordinary steel tool wiii j
I fail at high speeds. But if you substitute a )
| tool of high-speed tungsten steel the work j
j can be run ninety feet per minute. The!
tool will get hot, showing dull red in day- j
light, but it will stand up and cut.; and, as !
machine-shop output- and costs are based I
on such speeds, the enormous demand for
machine tools and war material made high
speed steel almost priceless.
Just when we needed tungsten most, how
ever, the supply from Germany was stopped,
and there was a scurry through the West to
increase our home production, which had
been only a fewr hundred pounds of ore a
year. Today a carload of tungsten ore—
forty tons—is worth at least a hundred
thousand dollars; and mines are not only
being developed but people in some sections
of the Rocky mountain country are scouring
the hills, picking up stray pieces of the ore.

| SKETCH OF LLOYD GEORGE,
THE ENERGETIC WELSHMAN
AT THE HELM IN BRITAIN
The new British premier, David Lloyd
1 George, is the idol of the British democracy.
| His extreme radicalism had made him at
1 limes “one r,f the most bated men in Eng
j land," particularly among the aristocracy,
i but on more numerous occasions he loomed
j up as “the man of the hour." and his per
I souclity sometimes overshadowed the wiio.c
! Asquith ministry with which he was idem
| lilied.
He was pre-eminently the British gov
' ernment’s “man of push and go,” energetic,
determined end fearless. Tliough a little
: utan, almost frail in physique, lie was such
a successful fighter that he scarcely knew
j ,he meaning of defeat.
As chancellor of the exchequer he wh
i lie author of the budget reforms which
j opened a new era in the fiscal history of the :
j United Kingdom, amt which, by putting i
j new levies of taxation on the propertied |
classes, ted to the great constitutional con- j
| diet between the commons and the lords,
and the curbing of the legislative veto
power of the peers. This political revolu
tion, and other great causes in which he
1 figured as the popular leader, notably his
successful figid for the insurance act tor
protecting the working classes sgainst ill
ness and unemployment, and his old age |
pension scheme, made him a dominant figure
n the Libera! government.
When, with the sudden outbreak of ihe
European war in ID!4. internal politics was
eclipsed by England's entrance into the war,
Chancellor Lloyd George was shouldered)
with the chief responsibility of financing j
the empire's part in the greit conflict, I
though he had been one of the chief oh- !
structionists to great military expendi
tures on the part of Great Britain, in peace
times, face to face with the war he tackled
he problem of raising money with his whole
trength, and set. in motion the first of the
great loans which were floated to meet Brit
■in’s war cost estimated at ten billion dol
lars a year.
In the midst of these financial problems
Lloyd George was called to assume a new
le. as minister of munitions, when, in May,
1915, a coalition cabinet was formed and
en it was charged that Lord Kitchener,
he secretary ot state for war, had failed to
supply the army with sufficient guns and
ammunition. It was agreed that the occa
sion called for one of the strongest men in
England to awaken the country to the para j
j mount necessity of providing war materials j
! on a huge scale. “The battle of Neuve ;
j Chapelle,’’ as Lloyd George said, “had con- j
j -umed more ammunition than was used in I
' '.he whole Boer war."
i The manner in which Lloyd George
1 tackled this new problem was typical of his j
I nergetic career. He hurried the passage j
I 'hrough parliament of a special munitions
| bill which gave the government broad pow
ers of control over all factories that were
I making or capable of making war muni
tions. The bill made strikes and lockouts
illegal, gave power to line “-lacker,-.’1; lim
ited the profits of employers, and provided
lor a volunteer army of workers who should
ledge themselves to go wherever the gov
ernment required them to work in the fac
tories.
Exasperated by the slowness with which
workers rallied to the factories. Lloyd
George gave the labor leaders just seven
days in which to make good their promise
of getting sufficient men to man the plants
for maximum production. During the week
the newspapers all over the United King
dom were flooded with full page advertise
ments. and the labor leaders turned town
halls throughout the country into recruit
ing offices, with the result that women as
well as men workers enlisted in even greater
numbers than were necessary, and the mu
nitions problem was soon solved.
Lloyd George was one of those who found
intoxication to be a serious handicap in
maintaining efficiency at the munitions
plants, and it was through his vigorous han
dling of the situation that new legislative
restrictions on liquor sales were put into
effect.
In strange contrast to Lloyd George's lead
ership in the prosecution of the European
war is the fact that his first political promi
nence came through his attacks on the pro
war party during the South African cam
paign of 1899-1900. He carried his opposi
tion to that war so far that he even re
fused to vote for the supplies necessary to
maintain the army. His disparagement of |
the British cause was so unpopular, how- i
ever, that he put his life in jeopardy by
expounding his views.
At Birmingham, for one instance, his- life j
was sought by a riotous mob which the |
police were unable to handle, and Lloyd j
George was able to escape from their hands
only by disguising himself in a policeman's
uniform. In later years he was the object
of physical violence on the part of the suf- .
fragettes, who hurled missiles at him on j
several occasions, and who, in February, j
1913, destroyed his country house with dv- j
narnite.
Lloyd George was born in Manchester,
England, January 17, 1863, but his parents i
were Welsh, and throughout his life Lloyd I
George, whose bringing up was in Wales, j
was a champion of Welsh nationalism, and j
had such a grip on the affections of his ad
mirers in that country that they called him j
sometimes “the prince of Males.’ The son j
of a schoolmaster, who died while Lloyd j
George was an infant, the future chancellor |
knew the extremes of poverty as a youth, i
He hardly tasted fresh meat, and his great- j
est luxury in those days, he said once in a I
public speech, was an egg which he had to
halve with his brother on Sundays. He
received only a limited education, but ob
tained an apprenticeship with a firm of law
yers, and finally succeeded in establishing
his own little practice in Wales.
He gained his local reputation by defend
ing the right of non-conformists—-he him
self was a Baptist—to burial in the Anglican
parish churchyards without the usual rites
of the Church of England. A law- estab
lishing this right had been passed, but an
irreconcilable vicar of a little church in
Wales, outraged by the passage of the law,
| had refused to allow the burial of a non
I conformist quarryman beside the body of a
daughter. He forced the burial of the body
in a plot set aside for the burial of suicides.
Lloyd George’s leadership was enlisted by
the indignant non-conformists of the village,
and he led them in a raid on the graveyard,
where they removed the body from the sui
cide plot and placed it, as they wished, be
ride the grave of the quarryman’s daughter.
The enraged vicar instituted trespass pro
ceedings, in which he was sustained by
court "after court to which Lloyd George
carried an appeal, until teh court of last
resort upheld Lloyd George and the non
conformists.
This fight against clerical arrogance, and
j especially (he vigorous way in which ihe
i oung lawyer carried it on. made Lloyd
j George famous throughout Wales, and at
! the nejct bye-election in the district of Cav
| narvon Burgs, he was elected to parliament,
| in his 27th year. It was this district which
j returned him regularly to parliament at
every election thereafter,
j In the house of commons the young
I VVel.-himm soon became one of the mo.-t
I prominent guerrilla fighters, conspicuous fur
| mdscity and pungency of his utterances
nd for ins capacity for obstruction, while
• die Conservatives were in office.
With the overthrow of the.Conservatives
; nd the beginning of (lie Liberal regime un
j ber Sir 11. Campbe 1 Bonnerniaii, in 1905,
! Lloyd George entered tire cabinet at a
; Vend. lie was made president of the
i joard of trdac, where he justified his ap
! ointment by the successful baubling of a
. hreateued railway j.trikt which would have
arclvzcd the whole kingdom. Lloyd George
exercised such vigorous tactics that he
forced the railway magnates into arbitra
te n.
When Mr. Asquith became premier, iu
■908, he appointed Lloyd George to the
chancellorship of the exchequer, which was
mplauded generally in financial circles.
However, when ihe time came for the pres
entation of the budget in 1909-10, when the
p vernment faced a deficit of some 475,- 1
100,000, Lloyd George convulsed the coun
y by introducing drastic reforms in taxa
ion which put new burdens on the moneyed ,
classes. He celled it a “war budget again, t
overly, which, he hope'!, “w'-ul.l b'-comc
> remote to the people of the country as
de wolves which once infested the forest.'' ■
it was this remarkable finance bill, with its
heavy super-taxes and with its forfeiture of [
part of the unearned increment of land, that j
precipitated the war cn tiro v»to powers of
he house of lords—an institution which
! hiyd George declared should be thrown "in
the scrap heap.”
Among other battles which made Lloyd
George stand out as a supreme advocate of
die people was his struggle for the estab
lishment of state insurance and old :g' |kti
sions, modeled after the German systems, j
1'hese great social benefits called forth much ■
hostile criticism, and predictions that they j
would prove a failure. The organization of
the insurance scheme had barriy been per
feeted when the unusual conditions brought ■
about by the European war caused a partial
break down of the system, and critics then
again came to the fo/e with the assertion
that it would never work satisfactorily. ;
However, it stood as the chief item in the
program of the Liberal Asquith ministry,
and was distinctly a Lloyd George cause. ■
The force of Lloyd George’s personality l
is particularly remarkable because he is a
little man. not only short, but slim, with a
small mustache and white face, though his j
eyes are as eloquent as his voice. His man- !
tier is cheerful, frank and democratic, and j
se is one of the most approachable men
who ever held public office in England. Al- I
hough little in favor among the aristocracy, i
it is said he is one of King George's favor- |
ites, liked by the sovereign more than any I
ether minister.
REMAPKABLE TUNNEL TAKEN
BY THE FRENCH TROOPS
The taking of Chilly by the French early
in October discovered one of the most re- j
markable underground works of the Ger :
mans on the Somme line.
After the first French wave had cleared
the German front, killing or capturing all
Germans in sight, and as the second wave
was advancing, from somewhere under- {
ground a large body of Germans came be- [
tween with machine guns and grenades. The j
French second wave bayonet ted some of
the Germans and the rest disappeared into
a tunnel.
The first wave got into Chilly and the
other end of the tunnel began to disgorge
German troops. Their exit was brought to
an end by a French detachment. Those
inside were summoned to surrender, but
hey hdd out for eighteen hours. Then
more than 400 men were captured.
The tunnel is nearly 1,000 yards in length, j
with an eighteen inch railroad track run- j
ning through it. At a depth of twelve yards I
were sleeping quarters, munitions depots, an i
infirmary, fresh water wells, tons of equip
ment, electric lights and ventilatnn pipes.
The sides and roof were boarded up and
it was possible- to walk nearly upright. Many
parts we re inundated.
The commandant's apartment had sever;!
rooms, with printed walls, solid doors,
chairs, tables, beds and telephone system.
At a depth of forty feet was an excavation
sufficiently large to hold a whole company
of soldiers, with hoists for njEchinc pun..
