Announcement by the Australian :
government that it will pay a
bounty of $5 on every ounce of
I gold produced next year in ex-1
cess of the 1920 output is expected
to attract the attention of capital
land provide work for 50.000 men.
Like all mining regions, Austra
lia’s output of the precious metals
has diminished to a notable de- j
gree and where mining was first1
in the industries as late as 30;
years ago. today it- ranks fifth.'
j Once in Australia, more than,
100,000 men were directly engag-1
ed in it, while now there are j
9000.
Australians cannot believe that
a land which in 1903 reached its j
peak in gold production with an
output valued at $81,000,000, is
doing itself justice with an out
put of only a trifle more than $10,
000,000, which was the total pro
duction last year, according to
the Denver Mining Record. The
world is short of gold. The op
eration of new mines will increase
employment and develop industry.
The government believes the
bounty of $5 an ounce on in
creased production will pay the
country in the end.
Some of those engaged in min
ing in this country have within
the last year advocated a similar
step in the United States and it i
has been very seriously discussed |
by different economists.

Operators of the Juneau Tele
phone Exchange are having hec- !
tic times these days, according to ;
the uJneau Empire.
The new telephone directory j
has been distributed to the sub- j
scribers and these contain the;
new numbers of practically all
government offices in the new j
Federal and Territorial building.;
The offices have not moved yet !
—and there’s the rug. The old j
numbers must be used and sub
scribers are requested to hang
onto the old directories and use
the old numbers.
With several new operators on
the switchboard and a confusion
arising as the result of govern
ment offices using old numbers
for several weeks, subscribers are
asked to keep their peeves sub
dued.

TOWARDS SUCCESS
JUST ADRIFT— OR A STEADY PULL?
THERE is a certain school of thought which
says, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomor
row we die”. But when the hapless morrow
comes, the insouciant philosopher, money
spent, rather wishes he had been a little less
“merry” and a little more saving.
The hand-to-mouth life is mere drifting. It
is only consistent saving that pulls you to
ward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars”
by opening an account with us.
