Is,*. there is going to be something
whirring in this Skarway district.
l"p lit the vicinity of Whitehorse
there are some mlnn that are mak
ing people tARp notice. Here la a
part or an editorial from the Daw
son News which ahows the trend of
coining events.
The Yukon must regard White
horse In a new light. Heretofore
the White Pans counted Dawson the
goal of all it* heavy traffic, and it
wa* Now Whitehorse is the cen
ter of the road-* big business. Daw
son'* placer gold output is increas
ing and will continue to increase a
long time Put Whitehorse with its
copper and iron shipment*, is mak
ing the tonnage record. The White
Pass road will handle a greater ton
nage this year than any one year in
Its history. The mining and the
shipments from Whitehorse will not
stop for cold weather Kxport* will
be made every day of the year
With the success of the White
horse mine* many other copper pro
perties In Yukon look up. Experts
already are visiting them More
railway* are in prospect. They may
come soon The coal properties of
the territory likewise draw attention
The Atlaa people, working at White
horse. with W D. Close, of London,]
Rnglaifl. and Chicago, F. 8 , at the<
head, are thinking seriously of
building a smelter near Whitehorse
It so. other Yukon products will be
needed
Why Matais Rust.
Gold does not tarulsh like other
metal because It Is not acted upon by
oxygen or ? ater. It la the moisture In
the atmosphere which causes other
Bteta's to tarnish, owing to their oxi
dation. Water contains a large pro
portion of oxygen. and It Is the oxygen,
of course. Ill the moist air combining
nith the surface of the metals that
covers them with tarnish. Plaftwam,
like gol?l. rwWs the Influence o< oxy
gen and moisture ami when pore nei
ther rusts nor tarnishes. Aluminium
also .iocs not rust, neither hot nor cold
water having any action upon It The
sulphureted hydrogen of the atmos
phere. which so readily tarnishes sil
ver. has no effect upon aluminium,
ahlch under oedlnary circumstancea
preserves Its appearance a* perfectly
as gold does. Silver tarnishes on ex
posnre to the air, the agent producing
this cffect being the sulphur. Iron Is
the metal which tsmlshes and mats
mo?t osslly. Its oxidisation proceeding
until the metal is completely eaten or
burnt away with the rwst.
