Salt Lake City, Utah.—Commercial production of gold has declined tre mendously in recent years in this sec- tion of the mineralized West, but the old-time prospector, working on his own, Is taking wealth from its hidden recesses in ever-increasing sums, The Salt Lake City assay office, a branch of the United States mint, is a clearing house for much of the inter mountain gold. Similar offices are lo- cated at Boise, Idaho; Helena, Mont. ; and Carson City, Nev. Production Drops in Year, According to C. N. Gerry, in charge of the local office, gold production in Utah dropped almost one-half in a year. The figure for 1931 was $4,108. 823 and in 1932 it was S2.046832, Gold, most valuable of the metals, is largely a by-product In this state, where the production of copper and that of lead rank as major industries. Recovery of the yellow metal from copper ore has declined to almost nothing, due to curtailed copper min ing operations. The true figure of com. mercial in this regard, probably is around 25 per cent of the 1931 mark. Offsetting It are operations of the men who roam the desert and e¢limb the mountains, believing implicitly in the old prospector’s slogan that “gold is where you find It" production, Small Operator Produces Most. Of the almost three million dollars turned in during last year, a vast majority came from the small opera New West Point Chief Lieut. Col. Simon B Buckner, Jr, of Kentucky, executive officer of the Ariny War college, who has been ap pointed new commandant of the Unit. ed States Military academy at West Point. Lieutenant Colonel Buckner was a member of the army's training staff during the World war and has been an executive officer in Washing ton for several years, who was forced back into mineral seeking because of the depression, bringing In its wake a lack of employment In the commer. cial mines, Exact records distinguishing produe- tion of the lone prospector from that of corporations are not available, but the best guess Is that the prospector now. turns In more than twice as much gold as was the case hefore current hard times, while the corporations, de. pending In the main on copper, silver or other metals, lack customary gold recovery because of curtailed produce tion, The best guess now, Gerry said, Is $28.070974 per year for all metals mined In the state. In 1031 it totaled $48,653,464, and that Is far less than the record of a decade ago.

Barnes has just completed a “stretch” of six and a half years straight in the Arctic, most of this in the employ of the Hudson's Bay company at Fort Hearne, at the mouth of the Coppermine river. Barnes has seen the Eskimos dwindle and de cay through the ravages of tuberen- losis—the scourge of both savage and civilized races. He is puzzled why the Eskimos should succumb so easily to the white plague, for the snowhouse is about as healthy a dwell. ing as you could find, he explains. Medical authorities say that the Es kimo contracted tuberculosis from the white man, but Barnes believes that the Eskimos got it from the Indians, who also’ are ravaged by the disease. time Rooster Kills Judge Palestine, Texas poisoning, which developed after an infuriated rooster spurred him In the knee, caused the death of County Judge Ben J.

Few of us realize, I am sure, to what extent the falth and confidence of those who are behind us, who be- lieve In us, who are depending upon our carrying on, has upon our ac- tions, Inspiration of one sort or an- other is at the bot- tom of most suc cess, It was at a foot: ball game years ago when [llinols was playing Chi cago, and Hersh: berger was captain of the University of Chicago team, and It was upon him and his leader- ship apparently that the success of Chicago depended, when the incident happened which fllustrates my point, The game had hardly begun when the brilliant captain's ankle was broken and he was carried helpless to the sidelines. It was the most serious ac cident which could have happened. Without Hershberger the game seemed lost and the team went back into the scrimmage despondent and al- most hopeless. But all the time there was Hershberger lying on the side lines and he became at once the in spiration of the erippled team. As they lined up for play some one ealled out, “Remember Hershey, fellows,” and that was the slogan which throughout the game urged them on to victory. For Hershberger, erippled and out of the game as he was, was the Inspiration which brought his team to victory, Few of us work for ourselves alone. jehind us there is some one urging us on, putting faith in our accomplish. ments, believing that we will do some thing worthy of praise, It was Felton's wife was his Inspiration. Naturally he was shy, unaggressive, and kept himself in the background. It was she who brought him out, who recognized his strong points and urged him on to make the most of them. He was clevérest and brightest when she was sitting near. He pushed himself ahead because {t pleased her to have him receive rec ognition. She really made a new man out of him. He followed her to the grave very quickly, for they had no children and when she was gone there seemed nothing to work for.

When It is 80 much that regufir work has to suffer, or a strain be put upon health, It is a mis. take to emphasize the sewing so much, There are two ways to solve such a problem. One is to plan the ward robe so that there is ample time to do the necessary alterations before a sen. son's garment Is needed, and without taxing energy nor encroaching on time needed for routine tasks. For example, now, one should see to spring clothes, and summer ones, too. It is not ton early to go over summer clothes one has, and fix them up. Then see what else is essential, The other solution Is to eliminate from one’s wardrobe, This may mean the recutting of garments to fit a child, thus increasing another's ward cost of eCD robe while relleving ones’ own of things which could not be used.
