MINING SHOULD INSPIRE NATIONS YOUTH
With mining men from all over the northwest crowding
” the Silver Grill, the 33d annual banquet of the North
west Mining congress was held in Spokane recently.
Grizzled hard-rock men nibbed elbows with mine
promoters, lawyers and others whose only mine partici
pation has been buying and selling stock. But there were
many there of the old school who had grown up in the
mining business, who had risen from the lower level as
muckers or miners to their present executive position.
Among this type was P. A. O’Farrell of Butte- the princi
pal speaker, and the dean of the mining industry of the
northwest. Mr. O’Farrell regretted there were not more
young men present.
“We make the mistake today in that we do not inspire
our young men with the spirit of adventure and of ex
ploration that embodies the men of 35 years ago,” he
said. “Greater opportunities exist today than did them
but our young men are not so eager to seek them out.
“I wish you knew Europe/Australia, the Orient and
South America as I do.,If you did, perhaps then you would
more appreciate my saying you are living in the grandest
place on earth.” ,
Mr. O’Farrell said he believed the Sherman act was
retarding the progress of the United States and that this
country would come to learn a lesson from Canada, which
has recently pooled its wheat, and from Germany, which
has set the price for Europe on 32 articles.
“You are selling your zinc, copper, silver lead* lum
ber and grain for half what you can get for it. The Sher
man act prevents the organization which would make this
possible.” >
Not only in young men but men of all ages have
been lacking in Alaska for many years back who have
been willing to spend their time prospecting. Naturally
there has been a reason, that of financing their ground
after location. But mining in Alaska is again on the up
ward trend as is seen by the entrance of larger compan
nes.
As far as the youth of the nation is concerned they
are the same as always. When again they hear the gold
call from the Northland they will stampede once more as
they did in the days of 1898.
It won’t be long now until we shall have our daily
Congressional Record with which to start the morning#
fire.

ARMY WINS CLOSE
TILT WITH THE CITY
TEAM LAST NIGHT
The Army captured last night’s
game from the renovated City boys
to the tune of 9 to 8. It was worth
anyone’s money to have witnessed
this knock-down and drag-out rum
page for the game was marked by
rough-house' tactics. Players were
hitting the floor, and even the walls,
with clock-like regularity. For the
spectators it was a great game to
watch but not so the players.
The Army used the five-man de
fense to good advantage against the
City chaps who seemed, at times, to
be up against it as far as endeavor
| ing to penetrate the line. The shoot
| ing on both sides was off-color, de
| cidedly so, which accounts for the
low score.
Osbakkan and Baker were each
automatically suspended from play
ing on acount of reaching the limit
of fouls but were permitted to play
on due to lack of subsltutes.
All the boys were, in the game,
head over heels, all the time but the
biggest improvement of any was in
the work of Jack Osbakkan. He bit
the dust on several occasions but he
also threw a crimp into numerous
Army plays which .might, have devel
oped into a larger score for the
stiff opposition.
Three black eyes adorned three of
the players; two Army men and one
of the City. Me Ewen did a loop-the
loop stunt over Galloway and Len
hart, who is almost tall enough
for the Signal Corps as an antenna,
got a terrific wallop on the ankle.
Andresen also took one' some-place
but aside from these there were no
other serious casualties.
One of the bright spots in this
game was the superb refereeing of
Coach Smith of the Anchorage five.
Nothing better has ever been seen in
any game.
The fans can always look forward
to a fine game, even tho rough, when
these two outfits sign up.
