Without making any groat blus

our sister town of Haines has been
going ahead, and as shown by the
following articles, taken from the
: Haines Pioneer Proas, It will be

: Ing permanent operators to her al
I ready large list of producing plac

H. G. Knight, mining engineer,
acting In the capacity as goneral
ti'tinagei for tho Glacier Creek Mln
liitf company, togethor with Mrs.
Knight arrived in Haines today on
thi Mariposa, when that big ship
called lu cn her way to the west
ward.
Mr. Knight was vory onthusiastic
in his talk rogardlng tho coming
summer's work, and from his ro
iin.rka to a roportor for tho Pioneer
Press, it Is evident that his company
Intends pressing tho work of devel
opment of tholr property up the
Chllcat valley.
On the Mariposa was a largo a
inount of froight for tho company,
auth as supplies and construction
m.->torial for the permanent camp
which is to bo built at onco, end al
so a llg'ut Rco automobile express
to be used for rapid transportation
from here to tho property.
"Col. Hnrvln, who has pros: est
*i> the property wo intend working
nip summer" said Mr. ICnlght, "ho!
beiu in this section of Alaska fo:
the past ten or eleven yo r*. Dur
ing the past winter lio h.:s disposed

In addition to iliis group o." claims.

cupine creek, and Sen. Dick has con
veyed his porsonal claim, tho "Earl
V. Lewis" placer claim also at the
?nouth of Porcuplno creek to the
<ompany.
By the reorganization of the
Glacier Creek Gold Mining Co.,"
continued Mr. Knight, "Charles Dick
Is made tho prosldont, while a num
ber of prominent Washington, DC.,
and Ohio people are In tho company.
During the post winter we havo
had over 400.000 fe?t of logs cut
aid Bklddod up on tho property,
and we will havo a saw mill arrive
on the next trip of tho City of Soat
tlo. This we will take at onco to
tl? property and It Is our Intention
to get It in operation na soon as
possible, for wo will push tho work
with the utmost dispatch*. Tho re
sults of tho prospoctlng done by Col.
Harvln for tho past fow yoars, which
has been done w'th tho help of a
Kcystono drill, has proved to us
that wo havo a rich proposition, nnd
v will endoavor to take out tho
gold that has been demonstrated bo
y nd a doubt Is there."
Owing to the foot that the Mar
iposa did not stop In on her way
noil*" bouud, she was compelled to
s:op in south bound and was In port
?o some time.
A deed, dated November 20, 1912
bag been placed on fllo In the record
era offlco In Skagway, by which H.
D. Gardner has convoyed to N. H.
Wlxon the "Belle of Juneau" and
tin* "Northern Belle" placer claims
In the Porcupine district.
On March 24, 1913, a deed trans
ferring a half interest In tho same
claims to Chris. P. Hanson of Sher
lock, Wash., tho consideration bo- ,
ing $500.00. was executed, tho same i
bo!ng recorded In tho Recordors Of
fiCO on April 2, 1913.
Mr. Wlxon Is already on the pro
pi-'ty, and It Is his intention to work
thero with a crew of men thin sum- 1
roer.
This ground is believed to be
rich In placer gold, and ovory lndlca- -
tiou shows that paying ground Is

that tho yellow metal will bo recov

FINDING 1 PLANET
The Discovery of Neptune and a
Curious Coincidence.
A PROBLEM TWO MEN SOLVED
Unaware of Each Other"* Efforts, John
Coueh Adam* and Lo Verrler Simul
taneously Attained th? Same End ? A
Wonderful Feat In Mathematics.
Tbo discovery of tbe plnnet Neptuno
-that in I Kiit.v world swinging tn tbo
(Trent deeps of npneo nearly 8,000,000,
300 miles away from our owd earth?
wns tbe cause of a singular controver
sy between two great astronomers,
one English, tho other French. This
controversy raged for years In jour
nals. papers, boobs and In learned so
cieties. Hero are tbe facta:
Tbo distant plauot Uranus bad been
discovered by Sir John Ilerscbel on
Mnrch 13. 1781. It Is 1.7S1.CS0.000
miles from the sun.
When a new pin net or comet Is dis
covered mathematicians of the highest
rank at onco compute Its orbit or path
In spaco and publish Its epbemerls,
giving Its exact position for tbe future.
A number of astronomers mnde
epheinerldes for Uranus; but. unlike
the other planets. It kept "running off
the track," nlways out a little further
than computed. Again astronomers
soon made new and neenrnte as pos
slble tables, yet Uranus would not
otiey. Then they all knew that there
was n world far and away beyond that
by Its attraction made tbo disturbance.
None was free to begin tbe glgnnUc
work of computing where It was. In
wbnt direction. Its distance and Its
orbit.
John Conch Adams, a young mathe
matician In Cambridge, Englnnd. at
tacked this problem, the greatest yet
undertaken by the human mind Ad
ams wns aged twent.v-four years when
he began tbe memorable research This
was In IS-13
The labors of Hercules were surpass
ed by Ibis Intellectual giant. nud to
September. IMS. ho dent bis results to
tbe Greenwich observatory. But they
were oot published to the world. In
October lie called at tbe observatory
and left another paper giving full elo
merit* of the planet. And the astron
omers of England did not senreb for
tbe new world with their telescopes.
(tut meanwhile the great French as
tronomer. 0 J J I a- Verrler. older by
several years than Adams, began h so
'.utlau of the huge problem He pub
llshed his part one of researches on
Nov. 10. 18-lfi. and pnrt two June 1. 1840
Adams and l.e Verrler were not aware
of their mutual labors.
On Sept I l.e Verrler. In France, not
hnvlng n telescope, wrote to Or (Jalle
In Iterlln to look for the new planet
Tbls letter wns received In Berlin on
Sept 23. 1840 When night came oo

designated point In space. aud soon the
eye of man saw the hitherto unknown
world at the mighty distance of 2.781),
831.1X10 miles from the sun. making
one circuit In about 105 of our year*.
The apparent angular d'ameter of
tho moon and sun Is very nearly half
of one degree, but Neptune was dis
covered within one decree of the com
puted iiosltion. or the average of both
of these Illustrious mathematicians.
The solution of this cupltal problem
has ever been considered the highest
achievement of pure mathematical as
tronumy At once controversy began
between France and England for hon
ors It was tlnnlly settled that both
men were worthy of et|ual praise nnd
exalted honors so long as men shall In
habit the earth
