DIPLOMACY FOR THE PEOPLE. A despatch was recently pub- lished this paper concern- ing a flag waving fracas in Saskatoon. An American girl in that city waved an Ameri- can flag in front of one of the members of the bugle band of the 105th Fusiliers. The bandsman snatched the flag out of her hands, broke the staff in two and trampled it under his feet. He was discharged, but reinstated because of a protest! from his comrades. The real cause of all these flag incidents is the failure to recognize that in a democratic country every man and woman is a diplomat, who ought to behave just as the British am- in bassador at Washington or the American ambassador at London would behave; as the British minister or the Ameri- can minister charged with for- eign affairs would behave. There is no mystery about modern diplomacy. Its central idea is to carry on international intercourse upon the same lines as two friendly, courteous families would conduct them- selves, When you travel in a for- eign country you are ils guest, and you ought to behave as a courteous guest would behave. When you meet a foreigner in your own country, you are his host, and you ought to be- have as a courteous host would behave. The American girl at Saska- toon. undoubtedly broke this rule. But the fact that she be- haved discourteously is no rea- son why a Canadian should do likewise, If a young girl, the daugh- ter of one of your friends, vis- ited your home and behaved in a rude, rash maner, you would not box her ears, but would meet her with grave displeas- ure, and a courtesy which would be an example to her. , foreign Always bear in mind, whether your own country or in a country, that under diplomatic institutions you are in a volunteer member of the diplomatic service. You repre- sent your country, and are bound to act exactly as an am- bassador or a minister of for- eign affairs would act. oO England will have no exhibit at the Panama exhibition, neither will Germany.

B. EDWARDS, DAWSON AGENT OF WHITE PASS & YUKON ROUTE—TELLS THE BEST WAY TO THE GOLDFIELDS. suflicient development work has not been done in the Sbushanna district to form an accurate opin- ion as to the extent of the gold deposits, the distribution or the precious metal is said to be gen- eral and’ to warrant the belief that the new diggings indicate an immense placer mining district. Mr. Farr, assistant purchasing agent for the White Pass & Yu- kon Route, has received a report from Mr. G. B. Edwards; general agent for the company at Dawson, which gives some interesting in- formation regarding the recent strike. After a reference to the gold poke, he goes on to say: “T have talked ’with both the discoverers personally and_ find them to be conservative men, not inclined to overestimate their find. However, they are candid in their belief that their find is the foundation of an immense placer mining district. There were but few men in the camp when the discoverers left, and but little real work being done at that time, the new arrivals being anxious to locate ground in preference to prospecting. However, they state that where work had been done on other creeks good pay had been located. “This leads to the distribution of gold is gen- eral on several creeks at least and not in pockets, one of which had merely been found by the discoverers. At the present time sufficient work has not been done in the district to give an accurate opinion of the extent of the gold deposit. “The district is located in the mountains above timber line, but the belief that very shallow ground, being only three feet to bedrock where the discoverers found their pay. The ground is thawed on Discovery claim but quite likely where the deposit of muck and gravel is deeper it would be necessary to thaw. In washing the gravel they stale that about equal quantities of heavy galena has been dis- covered. “T understand, though, quartz lead has been found. The value of the quartz is not yet known. The location of this dis- covery is about thirty-five miles west of the Alaska-Yukon line, between the sixty-second and sixty-third parallels, on the head that a waters of the Tanana River. The streams, however, are rather small and for a distance, esti- mated 80 to 100 miles down these streams, they are not of a suffi- cient size to permit of the use of poling boats or any other means of water navigation. “The Cordova Railroad is built to Copper Mines, approximately 80 miles distant from the new discovery. From the terminus of this railroad to the new strike there is reported to be a continu- ation of muskeg and glaciers to cross. From the head of naviga- tion on the Tanana River the trail is said to be of muskeg for some- thing like 100 miles. On the eastern slope the trail leads through a low divide and strikes the White River at the inter- section of Snag Creek, some 25 miles above the mouth of the Donjek River, and the Donjek is 90 miles from the mouth ‘of the White River. ~ “The discoverers and two or three other men have been in that district for some three months and have prospected in the coun- try more or’ less since 1906, al- ways having had a firm belief that pay existed in that district. It is the belief of these men that the most feasible route to reach the ‘ Vancouver, Aug. 14.—Although THE DAILY NEWS —— new camp is up the White River by poling boat or steamboat navi- gation to the mouth of the Donjek River, thence overland. “Up to the present travel into this country limited to prospectors but very small outfits. the best trails or means of mak- ing the trip to take a heavy out- fit is not yet known, but from the fact that the discoverers have come to Dawson and are taking time the has been carrying Therefore back with them on our steamer Nasutlin, Jeaving Dawson, an GAL TWO—SHUSHANNA outfit of some 30 or 40 tons, In- dicates their belief that the White River route is the proper one to take to land their supplies in the country. “In additionyto the discovery of placer, the head waters of the White River are rich in copper deposits of immense magnitude and covering a large area of country. Native copper nuggets are found filling creek beds for miles, as well as leads of native copper, also immense leads of bornite and other high percent- age copper ores, It is a rich min- eral district and the present in- flux of stampeders will help to prospect the ‘country and bring into prominence the mineral wealth of the entire district lying at the head waters of the White River. “The steamer Vidette left Daw- son July 26th, carrying the first load of stampeders from Dawson. The steamer Nasutlin, with a barge, left Dawson July 28th, carrying a full cargo of stam- and supplies. Most of these people are taking a supply to Jast them the greater part of the winter. A great many horses are in the outfit, as well as poling boats, every one having his own idea of travel from the head of navigation at the mouth of the Donjek River. “The White River is very dif- ficult to navigate, the waters be- ing thick with voleanie ash, from which the river derives its name ‘White.’ These ash deposits form numerous bars along the river, which are continually changing in different channels and filling the creck bed, causing the water to spread over large areas where the current is not ‘sufficient to carry away the sediment. For this reason steamboat navigation on the White River is regarded as not only uncertain but hazard- It is a risky trip we are un- dertaking with the steamer Na- sutlin, and future trips will rest on the report of the officers on their return. “The White River is short and peders ous. fed Jargely by glaciers. There- fore a few days’ hot weather or heavy rains will cause the river to rise several feet, and the water will fall as much within 24 hours, under the effecis of cold weather. However, up to September (ist navigation for small craft should be reasonably safe for 90 miles from the mouth of the river, Af- ter that date the water generally sets very low and no prospects of a rise during the season. “Mr. Fred Wann, an American engineer, is now in the distriet, and in addition to ‘working as a surveyor, he is also, temporarily, mining recorder, Up to the pres- ent time we have heard of no ar- rangement to establish a customs house by either nation at the line, The Canadian customs, Dawson, however, inform me that American goods can be sealed at Dawson and a deposit left here covering the duty, and when goods are taken back into Alaska the deposit, will be refunded,” U, 8.
