WEALTH IN THE DEPTHS
Mother Earth has given generously of her treasures
for the benefit of mankind, but it appears that she still
holds in her bosom riches even greater than those already
yielded up.
Recent news from the Cripple Creek gold district of
Colorado tells of the successful operation of mines to a
depth of 22,700 feet, whereas the older workings rarely
exceeded 1,000 feet in depth.
A new well in Texas is 8,520 feet deep and has yielded
more than GOO barrels of oil a day.
Numerous instances can be pointed out in which
new and greater oil deposits have been found at lower
levels, after the wells drilled to ordinary depths have
been exhausted.
The same thing is true of other mineral wealth dis
covered at ever increasing depths, where modern mach
inery makes it possible to work with profit.
These facts, together with the desire of scientists
for greater knowledge of the earth’s interior, have led to
the serious suggestion that a great hole be dug to a depth
of several miles into the earth’s crust, in the combined in
terests of science and industry.
It has been proposed that such an enterprise be un
dertaken as a government project, it being pointed out
that it could be done for the cost of a modern battleship.
Here lies a limitless unexplored field for adventure, with
possibilities for astonishing results.
Ben Williams, shoemaker of Tahlequah, Okla., must
have gotten hold of a potent brand of hooch, if a press
report is true. He came to after his spree, bloody and in
jail. Officers said he had killed a deer with his pen knife.
Williams said all he remembered was that he “had a
fight with something.”
Juneau man, thought dead, was restored by liquor.
If it had been the other way around it wouldn’t have
been news.
Our ability to point out the defects of the church to
the world may confirm us as critics, but it does not aid in
the conquest.

THE PROPER SPIRIT
F. E. Leslie received a telegram
today from members of the Seward
cage team which “bit the dust” in
Fairbanks, to the eEffect the team
was not disheartened abit by their
defeat last night and are going in
and win tonight.
A couple of carloads of gravel
was dumped at the dock approach
this morning by a railroad crew,
which greatly enhances the ap
pearance of the avenue as well as
making the going easier for man
and mechanical “beasts.”
