SEWARD, ALASKA. THURSDAY, MAY It, 1916. __
Most of us thought, no doubt, that the days of chivalry and lighting
and all that sort of thing had ended and that the world for the greater pait
had settled down to a sale-counter existence, but it is now becoming clear
that the human race has not changed a jot. The wars by the great powers are
not matters to wonder at as they were engineered by men who take no part,
and the actual fighters were compelled tJ do so for the greater part, but it
is seen by watching the disturbances in the smaller nations that the ago of
adventure and gallantry is just as much alive as ever. Ages to come will
read of this period ami of it the greatest incidents will appear to have been
great wars and bloodshed, ami how can it be otherwise than that the begin
ning of the twentieth century will seem to them worse than the so-called
horrors of the dark ages. Some who would alter the conditions of industrial
and social life write volumes to prove that environment or something else
could change human nature, but does not the history of our own day pnne
that human nature is the same human nature as that which existed in the
days of Alexander.
Was a government, supposed to be at peace with the world, c\« i in siuh
a peculiar position as the United States finds itself in at this moment.
On each side its citizens are being killed and it is constantly on the brink
of war but apparently doing its best to avoid actual hostilities. Some oi its
citizens are fighting against each other on European battlefields and its own
resident population is split up in its sympathies. Each side says the other
is only hyphenated American because its sympathies go to one foreign coun
trv or another. How silly it all is to think that because a man is an American
citizen he must have no opinions about international atTairs in which the
United States is not concerned.
THE LICK OF A CUEKCHACO j
Fairbanks Citizen:—Some people
would call it luck; others would say it
was a matter of perseverance, while]
still others, those who believe that;
“what is to be, will be," might think
it would come anyhow. But at any
rate w al*n>> TVumv<**-*''*U a ,
big antimony lead on the right limit
of Vault creek, directly across the
creek from the Friedricks mine. And
it is believed to be the same lead
which is being worked on th^ Fried
ricks ground and on Eagle creek. The
ore is of a very high grade, ami where
it was struck, the lead is about four
feet in width.
Thompson is a eheechaco. Which
accounts for the fact that some people
may call his strike “cheechaco’s luck."
For most oldtimers of the north be
lieve that cheechacos arc lucky and
therefore always try to get one for a
partner when a prospecting trip is
contemplated.
Mr. Thompson, is a relative of E.
p. Walters, the well known Dome
creek mining man. He came north
last summer and worked for a while
' f •-(, • — v';c* *“•* "* *V.rt
mouth of Dome creek. He soon got
tired of that, however, and decided to
go Outside again, but was finally in
duced bv a number of his friends to
try quartz prospecting.
And his antimony strike is the re
sult.
