DECLINE OF CHAMBERLAIN.
J
British Statesman Nat Now So Much
in the Public Eye,
London, Aug. 12. Englishmen who
have been away for a few months ex
press amasement on their return at
the smaller place Joseph Chamberlain
holds In the public eye. A years ago
he was the dominating figure in Eng
land, and almost in Europe. Today
Europe has almost forgotten him and
In England he is regarded as hopeless
ly sidetracked from the big current of
affairs.
His coming out for protection made a
tremendous sensation, but, though he
captured the conservative party ma
chinery, he could not get the voters.
There was no real sentiment In favor
of a change. Then at the critical mo
ment Chamberlain's health broke down.
Without a single lieutenant of first
class ability his campaign went to
pieces. Since his return from Egypt
he has been unsuccessfully trying to
mend the breaks. But In recent bye
elections the conservative candidates
would have none of him. Chertsey di
vision was fought on the issue of Chi
nese labor In South Africa and hardly
a word was said about tariff.
At last, in the Oswestry division.
Chamberlain got the conservative can
didate to stand fair and square for
protection. All the circumstances were
In his favor. The normal conserva
tive majority was a thousand, and the
majority of the voters were country
squires and farmers, who are natural
torys and whose opinions change slow
ly. Only a few times in recent years
did the liberals take the trouble to con
test this division at all. They regard
ed It as hopeless. Even in the present
canvass the voters did not dare to
gather around the carts of the liberal
speakers until after dark, for fear they
would be seen and arouse the anger of
th. squirsa, Email farmers were afraid
to lead earriafst te the liberal candl

JUNEAU GOLD BELT, ALASKA
E laminations of the known gold
prospect In the belt trlbutar to Ju
neau, Alaska, Indicate that they are
of sufficient promise to warrant all
the work now in progress and the ex
penditure of still more capital In de
velopment work. Such 1. the conclu
sion of Mr. Arthur C Spencer of the
United States geological survey, who
with Mr. Charles W. Wright spent
the summer of 1803 making a de
tailed study of the geology and, mineral
resources of a limited area Including
the Alaska-Tread well and associated
mine, near Juneau. Mr. Spencer has
written a short paper on the geology
of the Juneau gold belt, Alaska, which
Is published by the survey in bulletin
225, entitled "Contribution. o Econom
ic "Geology, M0J."
The Juneau gold belt resembles the
gold belt of California in several ways,
The various rock that occur In this
part of southeastern Alaska are simi
lar In character and partly equivalent
in age to thoee forming the country
rock of the Mother Lode district, and
there Is also a definite linear distribu
tion of some of tb gold-bearing veins
parallel with the general strike of the
bed rock formation A. in the Cali
fornia gold belt, however, there are
many Independent deposits lying out
side the main complex of lodes.
Prospecting has been In progress in
different parts of this belt since 1S76,
but the main Incentive to vigorous
exploration came with the discovery
of the Gold Creek placer and the
founding of Juneau to 1880. The first
mine to be put upon a productive
basis was the Alaaka-Treadwell, on
Douglas island, about two miles south
west of Juneau. This property was
opened in 1881, and it continued to
grow in importance for several years.
so that by 188$ it had reached practi
cally its present rating as one of the
great mines of the world. The dis
covery of the Klondike, however, in
1896, gave a great Impetus to pros
pecting In the interior of British
Columbia and Alaska and caused the
mineral region tributary to Juneau to
be temporarily abandoned as a field
for Investment It may be said that
only now, after seven years, has the
district regained the position which it
appears to have held in 1896.
Several circumstances would now
seem to indicate a growing interest lrr
the Juneau gold belt A large num
ber of properties have recently
changed hands, a number of well
known engineers have been making
examinations in the field with a view
to acquiring property for their clients,
and there appears to be a steady de
mand for experienced miners. It is
estimated that 1440 miners and la
borers are now engaged in this region.
About 30 per cent of them were doing
development work during 1903, and
Indications are that the exploration
of properties recently purchased by
outside parties will soon materially In
crease the proportion of men engaged
In work not Immediately productive.
In 1903 there were seven productive
mines In the district In addition to
the placers of Porcupine and adjacent
creeks. These were the Alaska-Tread-well,
Alaska-Mexican, and Ready Bul
lion, on Dougles island; the Silver
Sumdum Chief, 60 miles to the south,
now worked out and abandoned; and
the Alaska-Juneau and Ebner mines,
in Gold Creek, both of which will
soon be opened up on a large scale.
The product of these mines for the
year Is estimated at $2,400,000. while
the total output of the belt to the end
of 1903 has been more than $20,000,000.

death. Thus a mere scratch, insignifi
cant cuts or puny bolls have paid the
death penalty. It Is wise to have
