to view the new wall decorations on

unconventional, so out of the common

should by all means see these new

AN ENIGMA TO
PHILADELPHIA, March 7.—The
enigma of the baseball world is Con
nie Mack’s team of Athletics.. Wheth
er it will begin to show something of
the form predicted for it by 1917 by
Mack when he began his historic dis
memberment of the famous old Ath
letics is a puzzle that many baseball
followers are trying to fathom today.
Mack has the basis of a good base
ball club. Unless he deliberately
wrecks what he has accomplished
since Eddie Collins and his collaborat
ors departed from Philadelphia he
undoubtedly will have a better chance
to finish out the eighth place this
year than was the case in 1916.
Mack has pieced together a very
fair team of college baseball players.
He has tinkered here and there, add
ing some minor leaguers and retain
ing some cogs in the old machine un
til he has a club that cannot be count
ed the easy victim of every other club
by any means. <
The feat of the Athletics in twice
humbling the Yankees in a single day
last summer was considered a huge
joke by a great many, but there is
more than one critic of the game who
saw in that a foreboding of things to
come, a return to power that once
rested in the silent brain of Mack.
Mack has an infield that lacks a
great deal of being a flivver. Almost
any manager would be willing to part
with many dollars to have Stuffy Mc
Innis holding down first base. At
second base a youngster, Grover, is
destined to perform and he has built
up something of a reputation.
In young Lawton Witt, the 20-year
old youth picked up more than a year
ago by Mack, the elongated leader
has one of the most promising infield
ers who has broken into the American
league in years. He is aggressive,
can hit and field like a fiend and uses
his head.
Op. third base Mack promises to
place a minor league recruit named
Bates. Advance notices speak very
highly of him.
The outfield will be composed of
Bodie, Thrasher and Strunk, who are
holdouts, and while Mack has prom
ised the veteran Strunk a raise, he has
promised llodie a long vacation unless
he signs. Thrasher is a recruit, but
is said to be a powerful hitter and a
clean, fast fielder. It is a hard-hit
ting trio, with experience in two of
the gardens.
The pitching staff undoubtedly will
see new faces. Joe Bush and Elmer
Myers undoubtedly will bear the brunt
of the burden, with several promis
ing colts to fall back upon. Two more
pitchers who could perform consist
ently would make the Athletics a j
greatly feared club. Johnson and Na
bors are the most promising other
members of the staff.
Wally Schang, Meyers, Picinich and
Haley will fight for catching berths.
The Athletics present one of the
strongest hitting aggregations in
baseball. They’ll score plenty of
runs against almost any kind of a
baseball club. If they can get rea
sonable pitching it is fair to assume
they will not finish in last place.
“Crad" Williams Dies At Snohomish.
(Seward Gateway)
Craddock Williams, former partner
of George Mitchell, of the Seward
Grill, died a short time ago at the
home of his sister in Snohomish,
I
Washington. Crad’s many Seward
friends will regret to hear of the sad
news.
Through an error it was reported in
Anchorage some time back that Crad
was ill there.
Crad was born at Carborundum,
Pa., and came to Snohomish 158 years
ago. He is survived by five brothers,
Owen and James, of Marshland,
Thomas, of Alaska, Phil, of Seattle,
and John, of Everett.

(Dawson News)
The adage that “the world do,
move” applies in the realm of the \
prospector as in all others. It must
be recognized that this is an era in
which many minerals which for a
long time were looked on as novelties
are being used in the industries, and
that with their use there comes a
widespread demand for the discovery
in quantity of those ores which hith
erto were little known but which can
be found in quantities when sought, i
For years the happy-go-lucky pros
pector who had a smattering knowl
edge of placer gold and galena or,
perchance, rock carrying gold values,
was about the only stamp of adven
turer among the distant hills and
vales of this continent. He was a
character of romance and chance. In
his time were struck the fabulous
riches of California in ’4!l, followed
by the great strikes in Australia,
Montana, Colorado, Black Hills, Fra
ser River, Idaho, Klondike and Alas
ka.
in the last decade a new school or
prospectors has developed, i-'vom this
school goes forth the man skilled in
knowledge of rocks and minerals lit
tle known to the old-time gold seeker.
The new prospector brings to his aid
a knowledge gained in mining insti
tutes, schools of mines, chemical 'lab
oratories and even smelters and refin
eries. To have a full expert technical
education, however, is not altogether
essential for success in seeking out
the minerals in the hills. Many of
the universities and other schools of
tin- west are adding classes for pros
pectors, in which men who have not
the technical education can be effect
ive scouts. But such scouts must ap
ply themselves sufficiently to have
the general knowledge of the appear
ance of rock, gravel, sands and vari
ous ledges and deposits, so as to know
when they have stumbled on some
thing of possible value. It is along
these lines that the governments are
turning their geologists to account in
winter time in lecturing in the mining
branches of the schools and universi
ties to prospectors.
Ill various milling branches when'
such schools do not exist geologists
and mining experts are beginning to
give lectures and instructions to men
of the stamp anxious and willing to
learn the new style of prospecting.
It is on just such lines as this that
Yukon wants her prospectors school
ed. The prospectors are willing. The
instruction gets results. It brings
new wealth to the nation, and if ev
er Canada and Britain wanted its
mineral wealth uncovered it is now.
Yukon is seeking aid on development
in this line, it is looking anxiously to
the federal government to help mobil
ize the Yukon mineral wealth.
The fact that Yukon is not the only
northern locality in which the advent
of the new prospector and new meth
ods of prospecting are recognized is
made clear in the following from
page 8 of the annual report of Gover
nor Strong, of Alaska, for 11)16, a
copy of which has just been received:
“It is frequently asserted that the
old-time prospector who was always |
in the advance guard of civilization in
mining countries, and whom no ad
verse fortune could completely dis
courage, is almost extinct. This is
not strictly true, so far as Alaska is
concerned; but it is a fact that, in
recent years, prospectors hunt for the
uncommon minerals. Tungsten, anti
mony, molybdenum, radium and the
other rare metals now receive their
attention. In place of the old-timer
who hunted for gold and silver, and
the more recent prospector who added
lead, copper, and zinc to his list of
worth-while metals, there is now the
more or less scientific prospector who
hunts for the rarer compounds. The
picturesque individual who carried /his
bean pot and bacon and cooked his
frugal fare in the hills, far from hu
man sounds, and saw his fellow men
