TEMPLEMAN THINKS DAWSON
HAS QUARTZ WORTH WORKING
Hon. William Templeman, Minister
of Mines nnd of Inland Revenue for
the Dominion of Canada, accompanied
by Mrs. Temploman and Mr. Nicholas
his private secretary, arrived in Ska*
;vay last night and Balled for .Victoria
on tho Princess May. Mr. Templema
has just returned from a trip to Atlln,
Whitchorse and Dawson.
"My trip north was purely for pleas
ore and recreation," said Mr. Tern
pieman yesterday. "I wanted to see
the country and as I am minister of
mines I naturally looked into the
mining Industry of the country. My
trip, however, has 110 official signifi
cance."
Mr. Templeman Raid that tho de
velopment work at Dawson wan not
sufficient to demonstrate whether
there was paying quartz prospects
there, but that development work
now under way would probably de
cide the question. He personally,
was of the opinion that Dawson will
have a future as a quartz camp. Mr.
Templeman also referred to the great
Increase in the number of quartx
claims being staked.
Jack Carr, who sailed south last
night on the City of Seattle with his
twin baby moose. has prospected Al
aska perhaps as thoroughly as any
man in the territory. He Is one of
the best informed men in Alaska and
his optnion is bound to carry weight.
Mr. Carr, in an interview to The
Alaskan yesterday, stated that he was
firmly convinced that quartz would be
found in sufficient quantity and rich
ness around Fairbanks to Insure the
permanency of that camp.
"There Is certainly quartz in the
Fairbanks district," said Mr. Carr.
"Until the last year or two every
body was wiid about placer and no
one cared for quartz. But prospecting
bas shown the presence of quartz
and the development work done so
far has shown it to carry rich values.
"A man named Marsh who was
grubstaked by Congressman Sulxer of
New York has located a quartz claim
on the Chandalar that la the richest
quartz I have ever seen. He lias a
four foot ledge of free milling gold
ore and if it doesn't pinch out it will
be a mint.
"I wouldn't dare tell how high sonxi
of the assays have run.
"In time I look to Bee the gradual d?
velopment of the whole Tauana val
ley and the tributary valleys. The
country is too rich not to progress.
What is noeded most is a railroad
to the interior that will open up the
country."
OUNCE TONIGHT HI W. P. CLUB
There will be an Informal dance
given tonight at the White Pass Ath
letic club. All members of the club
p.nd their friends are cordially invited

paperman who loft last night for Cor
dova states that ho total cloamip fror

"This season was 0110 of tho bost
ever known In tho Tanana valley
from a climatic standpoint," said
Mr. Steol. "There was plenty of rain I
and on account of tho many tin wash* J
dumps left over from last year tho
cleanup will bo exceptionally large."

RAGE SUICIDE A REAL MENACE
WINNIPEG, Aug. 26? "The most
disquieting feature of the times Is the
revolt of women against, their woman
hood and their claim to be on an
equality with men In every way."
This statement was one of the sal
lent feature* In the address made by
Professor M. E. Armstrong. Pfi. D.,
LL. D., F.R.S., president of the chem i
leal section of the British Associa
tion for the Advancement of Science,!
which began Its sessions here today.
Professor Armstrong also expressed I
regret at what he called thi g.rowlng
tendency toward premature announce
ment of Incipient or aliened scien
tific discoveries.
"Wo have been living in a tine of1
sensational discovery," he said, "In a!
period when advertisement Is favored
and the desire for notoriety rampant.
Unhappily that caution that appeared
to be regarded as a priceless pre
logatlve of the scientific worker In
the earlier part of the last century Is
no longer our recognized watchword."'
Dr. Armatrong declared hi*. faith In
the progrew* of chemlatry toward aolv
In* tho problem* of life and no*. He
found fault with preaent condition* of
aoclety, whlrh, he uld. placed no hin
drance In the way of the unflL
"Thoae who presumably are the fit
teat," he Mid, "arc failing to con
tribute In proper proportion to the
perpetuation of their race, The condi
tion of affair* today afford* a most
striking exemplification of the glow
no** with which civilized nation* are
learning to appreciate the |e*?on*
of aclence.
"No problem can compare In Im
portance with that of the future of
our race. Not only do we dlacourag"
deterioration at the lower end of the
acale of Intelligence, but we now are.
through our system of education,
courting failure at tho upper end. It
ha* been stated hat In the United
State* of America tho higher educa
