THE GOLD KING.
The story of the arrival of the
first gold bricks from the Gold
King mine will make pleasant
reading to every person in Val
dez, and especially to (hose who
are fortunate enough to be finan
cially interested in the company.
Their arrival marks another ep
och in the history of mining in
this district and is an indication
of what the future* has in store
for Valdez when the mines around
it have been developed.
For more than three years the
Cliff has been the only producer
and it now has been joined by the
Gold Kiig. Of her mills have been
installed, or are now in course of
erection, and when they get to
working they too will be sending
in gold bricks to the banks here.
JVext season will see a great
increase in Ihe number of pro
ducing properties as many are
under development but have not
yet reached the 'stage where they
will warrant the erection of
mills. It is only a question of de
velopment as few of the proper
ties in this district have failed
to respond to work in a most
gratifying manner. The lack of
capital with which lo carry on the
development of the properties
has been a crying need.
One feature of the story of the
Gold King Mine that is refresh
ing i,8 to heard hose who are most
concerned speak in Ihe highest
terms of the management of I In*
property. Mr. Crawford seems
to have accomplished wonders in
transporting supplies to the mine'
under the circumstances. The
fact that he has been able to lake
in tlx* mill and supplies, creel
(he mill and send down gold
bricks in tin* space of a few
inonfhs surely entitles him to a
place a I Ihe head of Ihe classes
a “husHer.”
WAGES AND EFFICIENCY.
An explanation of I lie reason
why British Workingmen receive
much lower wages than those of
the United States is furnished by
J. Ellis Barber in an article in
the Eorlnighlly Review entitled,
“(treat Britain’s Poverty and lls
Causes.” lie shows that the av
erage weekly wages of the i,
656,915 adult workmen in (treat
Britain are only thirty shillings,
or about $7.30. lie quotes fig
ures from the British Board of
Trade report showing that in 1909
one person in twenty-one receiv
ed aid under Urn poor law, and
he says that thirty per cent of
the British population lives “on
the verge of hunger.” The ma
jority of Ibis thirty per cent he
says, consists, not of "idlers,
loafers, shirkers, tramps and
professional beggars, lint of
workers engaged in wealth-pro
ducing industries.”
Mr, Barber’s explanation of
this poverty is that, because la
bor i$ cheap, British industries
rely largely on hand labor. The
population of the United Kingdoni
is about half that of lhe*,|Jrii1ed
States, but a much larger propor-.
(ion is employed in factories, yet,
the total horsepower • usfed in
manufacturing in (Jf^at- Britain
is only 8,083,341; while in the
United States it is 18,675,376. He,
therefore, attributes low wages
and a consequent low standard
of living in Great Britain to in
efficiency of production. As al
most all industry in China and
India is moved by hand, so are
wages much lower in those coun
tries than in England. The great
wealth and high wages of the Un-j
iled States are attributed by Mr.
Barker to the unceasing improve
ment and to the superior pro
ductive capacity of our labor
saving machinery. The high
wages prevailing in the United
States have prompted manufac
turers to substitute! machinery
for hand labor. They have there
by been enabled to increase pro
duction per man enormously arid
consequently to continue paying
high swages and to make large
profits. ,The British manufac
turer lives down to his low wage
scale and holds down his work
men by so doing. The American
manufacturer lives up to his high
wage scale and holds his work
men up to the standard which he
sets. High wages are a spur to,
low wages are a drag on, efficien
cy in both employer and work
man.—Portland Oregonian.
THE GOOD NOW PROSPER.
The commercial value of good
ness has been strangely over
looked by all our upiifters who
will Jean toward the belief that
virtue has a disposition to be its
own reward. There was a time,
it is true, when it was expected
that the wicked should prosper in
this world, while the virtuous
should make a hundred or more
per cent on all goodness in the
next. But that condition has
vanished, even if tin* transition
has not been generally recogniz
ed.
In Denver Judge Ben Lindsey,
long the recipient of all praises
for goodness, is being assailed by
“the beast,” or some collateral
relative. Whether the motive of
the attack is good or bad is not
material in the present discus
sion. But one fact that Judge
Lindsey’s enemies have brought
out shows that, il pays handsome
ly lo be good. That fact is his
judicial record, which shows that
during the year 1912 Judge Lind
sey was in his famous juvenile
court but 153 days, the remainder
of the 305 being devoted to Chau
tauqua lectures and other income
producing activities. From whal
we Know oi (.nauiauipia salaries
it is evident that only foolish
persons will consent to he the
Biol of the “interests” and other
nefarious businesses. Wicked
ness is the poorest paid of all the
vocations; its usufructs are
dwindling and bankruptcy is star
ing its employes in the face with
a menacing and expensive stare.
One might touch on Billy Sun
day, Mr. Bryan and numberless
other good persons to whom
goodness is paying dividends that
must make the various- octopi
gnaw their tentacles with envy.‘
Never were the good so securely j
in the high places as at presrint
and able to dictate the terms of
their lecturing contracts. And it
is a pleasing situation, speaking
much for the advancement of the
world. One can cheerfully look
forward to the time when our
multi-millionaires will be candi
dates for national canonization
and poverty will be the distin
guishing mark of those who lived
in sin. “Be good, tell about it
and lie rich” should henceforth
lie the advice to all young men
starting out in life.—Seattle
Post-Intelligencer.
CONTRACTORS RACK
FROM PORI WELLS
Ohas. I.arson, Ted •Johnson and
Nels dander, who have been
working on the Tatum property
at Port Wells for Ool. Millard,
have finished their contract and
returned to town last night on
the Brighton. The property is
said to have responded to devel
opment in a ‘wonderful manner
and it is estimated that fully
$100,000 worth of ore has been
blocked out.
Jack Irwin, one of the locators
of the properly which is now
owned by Ool. Millard and asso
ciates, was also a passenger on
the Brighton. 'He has speint the
summer prospecting in the Port
W'ells-district and is delighted
vtfith the -manner in which the
ground is showing up, for al
though he has disposed of it no
thing would please him better
than to see Col. Millard make mil
lions from the property.
