through Congress. Many things

Hi v.-v :■ ; .rt from then thirgs
the Industrial Worker will Mature
to s' tii.it most urgent need
for this community in the strict tax
ation of unimproved mining land
and the renewal of the compulsory
hundred dollars worth of work for
each twenty acres of mining land so
held.
The repeal of this section of the
Roden mining law was a decidedly
reactionary step, inspired by large
holders of mining properly which
were unimproved, would remain un
improved and were held and are held
for speculative purposes only.
There is not a state in the union
which does not recognize the great
est of its evils has been the policy
of land and resource grabbing which
enabled the few to control the most
vauable lands and resources with
in those states.
Alaska has been one of the sec
tions of America which has Buffered
most in this regard, and Se vre!
t'eninsula does not suffer least in all
Alaska in this way nv any means.
One factor that is retarding the
development of the Peninsula is just
the fact that the policy of spe uia
tiv, holding and land grabbing has
tied up not one or two claims, but
whole tracts of country. Men with
lake ditch work tied up ground
that they never did a stroke ol
work upon, and which lias been no
more developed than a section ot
tile desert ot sanura.
There is lots of ground worth
prospecting in Seward Peninsula.
There is ample ground around Nome
Hut it is all held intact by specula
tive owners and the man who dares
to try to mine thereupon and to
perform legitimate work in connec
tion therewith, hunts only a law
suit.
The man who develops a country
is the individual miner and pros
pector. He does actual work. He
sinks a hole here or there and ascer
tains whether or not there is pay
The tract holder, the association
man, the man who has tied up
creeks and rivers with the aid ot
elastic affidavits, retards all pro
gressiv<* development.
There are thousands of acres
around Nome Mining District which
would pay to work. They will no;
pay to work and to donate a royal
tv. Often the ten per cent or the
twenty per cent or the twenty-five
per cent asked by the owner is the
very amount that would make the
operation of the ground remunera
tive. Under such conditions these
thousands of acres remain year
after year untouched and unproduc
ti ve.
The Roden law in‘that it com
pelled such speculative holders to
get off or mine was a boon to the
country. Hut the influence of the
dredging and other companies was
too great to allow it be retained on
the statute hooks atvd the reaction
ary members of the legislature
tumbled over one another in an ef
fort to repeal it.
Hence it is the tract owners were
enabled to hang on to their great
holdings and they have district after
district in this and other divisions
tied up so that the prospectors can
not touch them and they will not.
You can walk mile after mile
through the creeks of tiiis countP*
and mile after mile of that ground
will look good to you. It
has apparently never been
touched bv shovel and
pick. There is not a cross cut nor a
ditch, nor a hole in miles of it. Yet
the man who attempts to work it
will find with exceedingly great
promptness that the "owner will
materialize quickly enough if pay is
discovered and that the pay that
should reward labor's investigation
would I; claim' d by the man whose
only wot:, upon that ground was the
planting of a stak" and the writing
of a location notice five or six oi
seven or eight years ago.
How therefore can the country
hope to develop when vast tracts art
held by men who will do no work
and intend to do no work upon any
of it? Is it not certain that the mar
who holds ground for speculator
purposes is the mart who is keeping
this camp back?
It is getting tc he now that tin
prospector hasn’t a rod of grounc
whereon he can sink a hole withou
being mulcted of high royalty ant
that by the man or company tha
never did a stroke of work in th'
way of mining upon the whole pro
pertv.
The remedy for this would be t
compel assessment work upon eac'
twenty acres, or some other mean
whereby the holders of these tract
could be compelled to pay for th
privilege of tying up against al
comers who are bona fide prospect
ors, the resources of this country i
a mining way. Certain it is tha
this will have to be done some tim
and the sooner for this reason th
better. The land grabber ought t
be made to pay tor the privilege c
his covetousness.
PATRIOTISM.
A patriotic crowd in Chicago c
noble society sentimentalists, erecl
ed a beautiful monument to th
memory of the Chicago U. S. mai
ines who lost their lives at Ver
Cruz. The monument was es
tremcly costly, and the societ
which erected it had a delightfi
unveiling celebration when it wa
dedicated. Female patriots thrille
with the exquisite fervor or the oc
casion, and it was quite a socia
event.
In the middle of it Edward Mel
senberg, a brother of one of the me
who 16st their lives in Vera Cru:
rushed in and said that he woul
stop the celebration if he had t
fight for it.
They were no patriots at all, 'll
said. His brother’s wife and famil
were starving and no help was give
them whatever. It was “blown-in
on a monument.
’Twas ever thus. He asked fd
bread, said the mother of the poe'
Burns and they gave him a stont
But there is nothing sentimental an
fine and noble and grand and patr!
otic about common bread. Still 1
was Victor Hugo who expressed th
sentiment that one couldn’t liv
without the fatherland, but neithe
could one live without bread.
ARK SAID THIS:
“If a man will stand up and at
sort, and repeat and re-assert tlia
two and two do not make four,
know nothing in the power of argi
ment that can stop him”.
STAR DOPE.
The planets Venus, Jupiter an
Saturn are well situated for obsn
vation during November. Jupiter i
the brightest object in the evenin
sky, being directly east shortl
after dark and due south 9:59 p. n
on Nov. 1C. .Saturn is well abov
the horizon in the north-east at ten t
o’clock in the evening. It is direct- £
ly below and almost in line with
Castor and Pollux in Gemini or teh £
Twins. Venus shines with dazzling t
splendor in the morning sky and is 1
easily visible in the sunlight.
Neptune, the outermost planet oi -
the solar system, is in good position
for observation this year. It is si
tuated south and west of Saturn
quite close to the Beehive cluster c
in Cancer. It is at all times invisible 1
to the naked eye, being of stellar i
magnitude S, and is easily visibly
in a good telescope as a small
planetary nebula. The discovery ot
Neptune in 1846 marks one of the
greatest triumphs of astronomy, since
its discovery w^^ue purely to ma
thematical calc^Btons based on the
law of GravituB. Newton’s law
of gravitation s^Bes that any two
masses in the universe attract each
other with a force which varies di- I
rectly as their ma*ses and indirectly !
as the square of tkeir distance apart j
Every body in Me universe obeys |
the force of gravity, and the ealeu- |
lation of the orbits of planets, com- :
ets, etc., must be based on the law.
The law is simplicity itself, but its
actual workings are highly intri- ]
cate. Each consequence becomes a
cause, and to eacM cause it attached ,
t numberless effect* The problems
jean only be solve# by the infinitesi-j
mal calculus, and Vien not directly,,
but by a series «if approximations
taxing human skilljjlo the utmost.
Uranus, the plai^p next to Nep
tune, was discovered by Sir William
Herschel in 17SI, earning him im
mortal fame. Irregularities in the |
movement of Uranus in its orbit
i caused P.essei in 1840 to suspect the
j existence Of an outer planet whose
| pull disturbed the motion of Uranus
j But illness prevented him from car
| rying out his plans, and Adams, an
1 Englishman, and Leverrier, a French
man, undertook the probiem, earn
with perfect success. To determine
the pull of a known body taxes the
| mathematical resources; to find an
j unknown body through its disturb
1 ing effects is not only more arduous
but was at that time untried. Both
astronomers, unknown to each other,
calculated the actual place of the
unknown planet, but the calcula
tions of Adams, sent to the Royal
Observatory at Greenwich, remained
buried in a drawer. Leverrier sub
mitted his figures to Brof Galle of
1 Berlin, and in half an hour’s time
e had found the new planet, on
eptember 23. 1846.
Other bodies have since been
ound through this method, such as
he dim companions of Sirius and
’rocyon.
