’ FAIRBANKS DREDGES HEAVE
FOUR TONS GOLD MONTHLY
FROM OLD PLACER GROUND
NINETEEN WATER BUCKETS OF PRECIOUS
METAL CLEANED UP EACH WEEK FROM
FIVE SHIPS WHICH MEANS ABOUT TEN MIL
LION DOLLARS FOR SEASON IN GREAT
INTERIOR CAMP.
Although the Fairbanks Exploration Company has
1 carefully guarded leakage of any information concern
ing cleanups from the five dredges working in the Fair
banks district, it is stated on good authority that the
weekly harvest during the past summer has been 19
full galvanized water buckets of gold or about a ton of
gold or more than half a million dollars.
This golden stream has been pouring out since the
first of June, it was said, and is still continuing, and
will continue until the ice in the ponds gets too trouble
some for further work. With steampoints it appears
probable that operations may be continued until the end
* of this month, giving approximately five months of
production, or an output of 20 tons of gold for the sea
son.
1 TANKER EXPLODES
TROY. New York. Oct., 20, (fP)
—An oil tanker exploded in the
Hudson River with a detonation
*elt miles away. Several men
were killed and injured.
Two tugs, nearby, caught fire.
The tanker Craig was being
towed at the time of the explo
« sion.
A charred body of one of the
crew was seen on the deck but
the fire was too hot for the res
cuers.
Hundreds of windows were
blown out along the water-front.
A 500-pound fire hydrant was
thrown three blocks.
Rescue efforts were hampered
by burning gasoline on the wat
* er which endangered boats.
OREGON UNIVERSITY
DEFEATS WASHINGTON
flnCOIE 1 TO I)
PORTLAND, Oct., 20, <£>) —
Plucking a 25-yard pass out of
the heavens under full speed
ahead, John Kitzmiller, halfback,
gave the University of Oregon
h victory over the University of
Washington in a hard fought
game.
Hafford, star Washington back, l
played a part of the game with j
an infected leg; he is recently j
out of a hospital.
Washington tossed caution to
the winds during the last quar
ter and passed in every direc
tion and from every position |
but failed.
The first half was a see-saw; j
Washington only had one chance j
to score and held Oregon twice J
when within within striking dis-1
tance.
AUSTRALIAN ACE HOME
PORT DARWIN, Australia, Oct.
20, (/P)—Kingsford Smith landed
at 2:26 p. m. Sunday from his
M flight from England breaking
Bert Hinklers record by five
days.
I
The Gateway’s information
comes from sources that are
considered reliable but no at
tempt was made to fix the val
ue of the weekly output in dol
lars. Roughly estimating a pail
ful of gold at 100 pounds which
is probably less than greater,
the combined cleanups of the
five dredges in opera tion
amounts to more than half a
million dollars a week or two
million per month.
Figuring five months as the
season’s operating period, the F.
E. Co., will therefore have $10.
000.000 to show for its work
this summer.
If the company originally in
vested $15,000,000 in the Fair
banks district, they probably
took that out during the first
season of 1928 and the second
season of 1929. Outside of oper
ating expenses, the present sea
son’s cleanups therefore. can
more or less be listed under the
title of “velvet.”
TWO MINERS DIE
JOHNSTOWN, Penns., Oct., 20. |
UP)—Two men were killed and a !
score injured when cars carry
ing miners in the Sonman shaft i
coal mine at Sonman, ran away, j
The bodies of the two unidenti- i
fied white men have been re- j
covered. Officials said they had
not learned the cause.

SPOKANE, Oct., 20, UP)—Wash
ington State College, winners J
against Southern California and1
Stanford, dallied with Gonzaga j
one quarter, then rushed in
with bone-crushers and smash
ed over for three touchdowns.
The regulars then retired giv
ing way to the second string
which played the remainder of
the game.
Swartz, Ellingsen and Lenhart!
did all the ball packing for the
scores.

Mil CABINET HIT
IlLEO to discuss
Pfii \
WASHINGTON, Oct., 20, (/P)—
A special cabinet meeting on the
unemployment s i t u a tion has
been called to meet with Sec
retary Lamont, chairman.
Views on the outlook will be
sought and attempts made to
estimate the relief necessary.
Some data has already been as
sembled by the Commerce De
partment and it is believed that
some unprecedented proposals
will emerge from the meeting.
The committee is expected to
bring in a report before the
end of the week and the Pres
ident will probably transmit the
findings to Congress during the
short session.
ill CONTROL HOUSE
WASHINGTON. Oct.. 20, UP)—
For the first time Jouett Shouse,
Chairman of the Democratic Na
tional Executive Committee, pre
dicted that Democrats would
control the next House.
Shouse predicted a minimum
gain of 60 seate arid s id he be
lieved the total would be near
er 70 as only 54 seats are now
held by Republicans.
He said the party will make
gains in the Senate and might
eten gain a slight margin over
Republicans.
PORTA ALEGRE, Brazil, Oct..
20. (TP)—The rebel siege of Flor
ianapolis, the sole Federal
stronghold in the south pressed
the Federals so hard that they'
withdrew from the mainland,
across the bridge to the island,;
and on which the city is situat- :
ed.
The revolutionists, on Sunday. |
occupied Esteito, on the main- j
land opposite Florianapolis, ob
tained control of the power lines
which feed the city with power
and which has- been shut off.
Attempts are being made to
mine the channel between the
island and mainland to bottle
up Federal warships which are
using the city as a base.

COOLIDGE READS AMERICA’S
HOROSCOPE ~ NEXT 50 YEARS
TO ECLIPSE PRESENT ERA
FORMER PRESIDENT CALVIN COOLIDGE HAS
WRITTEN FOR THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY
EDITION OF THE BUFFALO (N. Y.) EVEN
ING NEWS, A COPYRIGHTED ARTICLE ON
AMERICA’S FUTURE, FROM WHICH THE
FOLLOWING ARE EXCERPTS.
BY CALVIN COOLIDGE
While we shall always look upon this period (the
last 50 years) as one of the most interesting and im
portant, and marked with events which will ever be of
merited acclaim in world history, it will propably be
eclipsed in many ways in the next half century.
What changes are to take place
cannot be foretold with anything
like detail- But there appear to be
certain tendencies of an irresistible
working that we can confidently
expect will be more and more
pronounced.
The foremost of these is the
movement toward unification. This
is based on better organized effort.
It is not always popular, for it of- 1
ten seems at first to limit indivi- j
dual freedom of action.
m • •
We are entering a period of j
mergers in nearly all kinds of bus
iness which will dwarf anything:
with which we before had experi
ence. Such combinations will have j
power to perform services for the
nation greater than any we have ;
yet seen.
• • •
I
The necessaries and luxuries of
life will be more abundant and the
resources with which to secure
them better distributed. Tills de- 1
velopment will bring large wealth ;
to some, perhaps a disproportion
ate wealth, but under our system
of government that will take care of
itself.
* • •
1
Our difficulty in this country has
not been with wealth itself, but
with the newly rich who lacked
the character to use it wisely. But, I
on the whole, we shall have a more j
even distribution of wealth and (
give the ordinary man new powers
and new resources which he has not
before enjoyed.
* • •
Life will not be easy for those!
who try to live by the old methods. |
.With the increased use of ma- !
chinery. with the growing complex- j
ity of existence, more and more j
training, skill and education will!
become necessary.General ed
ucation will be greatly increased
* *
We can expect much progress in j
air navigation and in distribution j
of electric current. . . Improvement j
of roads has probably only begun j
. . . Grade crosisngs will be elimin
ated and the main thoroughfares
will be lighted at night The country
will be dotted with great airports
we shall have a combination of
motor vehicle, railroad and air
transportation that will reach to
every important point.
• • •
We shall see electric power used
in the home and in all kinds of
business and even more widely dis
tributed than the telephone is at
the present time . . .
Distant sights and sounds will be
brought within range of our eye
and ear so that a conference be
tween two persons in Northampton
and Buffalo wil be almost like a
conference around a table.
Very little change is to be ex
pected in the fundamentals of our
government • . .
It is hoped that election methods
will be improved. While they are
good on the whole, there are lo
calities that are greatly in need
of purification.
While great progress has been
made, our municipal governments
in many instances are not a credit
to us . . . The growing burden of
taxation and the increasing com
plexity of municipal affairs will
force greater activity in securing
better administration of our city
governments.
• • •
Primarily the crime question is a
question of the attitude of mayors
of our cities. Merely in self-de
fense, the citizens of the future
will require the best type of public
administrator to control our muni
cipal governments.
The society of the future will re
quire speedy trials, a procedure
stripped of technicalities, and all
possible certainty that those known
to be guilty of the crime shall be
punished. Security is so important
and justice is so necessary to the
public, the danger of government
oppression is so remote in a re
public, that the old methods wTill
be discarded for a procedure that
will be more effective in the pro
tection of rights of the honest and
law-abiding citizens.
* • •
While some of the most skilled
practitioners think surgery has
about reached its limits, medicine
will make great strides in the fu
ture, especially on the preventive
and mental side eliminating dis
ease and prolonging life.
• • •
What science and invention have
in store for us we cannot even es
timate, but we know it will be stu
pendous.
• • •
Ignorance, superstition and pre
judice are going to play less and
less part in our national life and
intelligence; faith and toleration
will be more and more prevalent
m m m
Our material views must not be
permitted to displace our spiritual
values. - . . Their citadel is in the
home. Their source is in religion.
Our progress will finally depend
on the faith of our people.
I believe that the indications
point to deepening of our national
faith, an increasing reverence for
holy things, and a more thorough,
loyal devotion to God. Therein lie
all our hopes. Without such a mani
festation of the public conscience
all else would be in vain.
