' GOLD OUTPUT 01
* 9
This year's production of place
gold In Fairbanks, Hot Springs am
m Tenderfoot districts, will be abou
$.1,150,000, according to a careful!;
prepared estimate. This is abou
the same as the amount taken oui
last year, and therefore It Is not ex
pected that there will be a falling of
in production this year.
The amount of gold expected to b«
taken out by the quartz mines In thf
same districts is estimated at $400,000
_ bringing the estimate for the tota.
| production up to $1,550,000.
] According to this estimate, a tota
of $500,000 has been taken out in the
winter dumps. This is a little less
than was taken out the previous win
ter. The yield of the Hot Spring!
district is estimated at $600,000, whilt
that of the Tenderfoot, Democrat
Bonnifleld, Kantlshna and Tolovana
localities Is estimated at $150,000.
The c-stimate is considered encour
aging inasmuch as last fall there was
a promised lull In placer mining in
f that district. The total, however,
may far exceed the estimate, pro
; vided tlie weather conditions prove
satisfactory.
Sluicing started earlier this year
than last on account of the early;
thawing of the snow, but the recent
cold nights have put a stop to it.
It was reported from Chatanlka that
the sluicing had come to a stop there
on account of the shortage of water.
I he fact that thf- snow went away
slowly and that it did not run off In
Hoods, is looked upon as an assur
, surance of a good water supply for
| much of the season.
! Tll(‘ new Tolovana camp will hardly
, make a showing this season in the
output of gold, as there are few plants
there, and it will not be possible to
transport more until good roads are
provided, or snow falls to allow sleigh
ing.
If the Tolovana camp comes up to
the present expectations, its output
next year will probably overshadow
b> far that of the other interior camps.
It will take about a year to put the
camp on a good producing basis.
From present indications there will
be considerable quartz development
this season and In the future the
quartz yield will probably be an Im
portant feature in the gold produc
tion of the interior.

IMPORTANT WAR
PART TAKEN
BT MINERS
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, May 19—According to
trade union officials more than 130
000 miners have been recruited in the
British army since the beginning of
the war. Most of these have been
enrolled as engineers and sappers,
thus providing trained men for this
work, which is proving of the high
est importance in the trench warfare
on the western front.
The capture of Hill 60 near Ypres,
is a case in point, where the spade
played a vital part in the operations.
Tunneling and mine laying of a
swift and certain nature was essen
sential to the operations and the sap
pers employed were skilled miners
from Wales and the North of England.
Accustomed to working under
ground, with a complete mastery of
the pick and prop, and an instinctive
understanding of all the difficulties to
be encountered in the way of caveins
and falls of earth, these skilled min
ers were able to drive saps and tun
nels with a speed and accuracy not
to be attained in the case of ordinary
infantrymen, although every infan
tryman is given a thorough course of
Instruction in spade work during his
training.
Part of the miners’ usefulness, es
pecially In night work between the
lines, lies in his almost uncanny abil
ity to see clearly In what to ordinary
persons is almost absolute darkness.
This special ability comes, of course,
from long working In the half lights
of the underground world. It is of
the greatest value, not only in sap
ping and tunneling, but also In the
work of “listening patrol” in night at-1
tacks and In reconnaissances.

(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, May 19 -The efforts
being made by both the major leagues
and the Federal league to speed up
the daily games, is already beginning
to show results. Complaints from
the cities represented in all three cir
cuits first called tlie attention of the
league executives to the fans' objec
tions to long drawn out contests, and
there was immediate action on the
part of the baseball authorities.
President Ban Johnson, of the Amer
ica! league, notified the junior organ
ization club managers that less time
must be consumed in playing games,
and that several time-killing prac
tices must be discontinued. Presi
dent Gilmore, of the Fed era is, took a
similar stand, and intimated that he
might offer prizes in order to shorten
the average playing session. In the
National league the matter was also
given careful study and several plans
considered to improve conditions.
A study of the playing time figures
of the three leagues discloses some
interesting details. Using the April
contests as a basis, it is shown that
the average of the American league for
from ten to thirteen contests is two
hours five and one-half minutes. The
Federal league clubs under similar
conditions required two hours two
and one-quarter minutes to play nine
Innings, while the National league
made the best showing with an aver
age of one hour fifty-two and one
half minutes.
Of the individual clubs of the Amer
led the organization with an average
of one hour and fifty-one minutes.
Boston and New York followed with
averages of five and seven minutes
slower respectively. St. Louis con
sumed the most time, the Browns re
quiring two hours nineteen and one
half minutes, with Chicago but one
minute faster. The Philadelphia Na
tionals were the hustlers of the Tener
circuit, averaging one hour forty
four minutes for ten games, with the
New York Giants but one-half a min
ute slower. Chicago required two
hours elevien and ono-half minutes
and Pittsburg also crossed the two
hour mark. In the Federal league
the Pittsburg club showed the best
time, averaging but one hour fifty
minuteB for thirteen games. Buffalo
allowed the other extreme, requiring
two hours twentyseven minutes for
twelve games. 4
