Again this spring, on the heels of the rise of told .prices, dreamy-eyed adventurers; lanky, gnarled Tetersns of tbe Klon dike; miners and clerks, gamblers and promoters fro following the eome-blthec look of Lady Lack. Ghost towns dating back to the West's beginnings are stirring new ' after a BlpVan Winkle slumber. - Abandoned mines are suddenly , heaving and raucous, as prospectors thrust down new shafts. The new gold rash, which started last year, ' Is now on in fall fore , . , , - v scalp hungry .Indians are no long er the chief- menace to ' the gold :;. seekers. Agonising death In some son-parched desert 1 a remote peril. Bat much of the old color . and drama has enlivened the Klon dike, tbe wide, open West' nd points South. - Once More Wide Open. .: Casual, goM-ltchy hourls, spirit- : nal descendants of Diamond LU and Lady Loo, are drifting Into the newly staked mining camps. Saloons and gambling nails are . once more wide open, and . while bridge and poker ' are : more fre quently played among the miners, ; an occasional game of faro Is not rare. Men are not so quick on the trigger, bat the professional card sharp, the mine Salter, the i, con man has come back into bis own.. And sudden disappearances aad mysterious deaths are reported rfrom time to time along the Colo rado river and west of the Pecos. Almost since the first -day that President Roosevelt set a premium on newly-mined gold there has been " steady revival, of the old gold - tamps. . , . Carl Dunrnd, . a Klrwln .

In the hills near Baboquivari ' peak, Arl&, the Magma Copper com- r pany Is sinking shafts 1d ancient Spanish mines near' Oasis. In the old days fortunes In ores were cart ed away by Spanish conqaistadores. Indian Oasis has a miniature gold ' rush all Its Own for ' the Magma company has options on 89 claims . which have: not been operated in ' 60 years. More than 600 men are grabbing in old tunnels and aban doned diggings which . haven't . known the echo of pick and spade ' in decades. 1 : Gold In Them Hills. ., t ; Ward , Elmore, eighty-year-old ' soldier of fortune, swears there is t- an El Dorado In the hills of north' 'era California. 1. His story started new hordes of ; I gold seekers rushing from San Francisco. . Placer mining Is widespread to day in California, Nevada and New Mexico. . - One of the most Important de- ' velopments Is the remlnlng of - the Almaden, oldest and most his- torlc mine In the West. v Even In. far-off Alaska the redis covery of pay placer gravel has . been reported In tbe vicinity of Vlnllcbik, which datesback to the v ' time of the ' Russian occupation. ' Students Get All Living , Costs for $3.50 Weekly .: Athens, Ohio. One hundred men 'students of Ohio university here lave been able to live on $3.50 each a week this year, under a co-opera tive plan. - ,V :: The small living expense Includes : both room and board. The plan, first tried experimentally last year, - was worked out by a group of stu ' dents, under direction of. the uni versity.

Plans Aircraft to Garry Berlin. The disaster to the Unit ed States navy's airship Macon has revived speculation here hs to tbe ultimate worth , of Ugbter-than-alr craft and has thrown into sharp re lief the plans of a.

" CREPE-PAPER STRAW - Br CBZJUK NICHOLAS 4t Z,mfls Here are two cunning ; spring cbapeaux, the one a new pill-box model, the other a bonnet, the sort which Is so popular with the young er set this season. Believe it or not these smart millinery types : are crocheted of strips of crepe paper. There is hardly a hat fashion that cannot be copied sucessfully In crocheted crepe paper. You wtll feel a thrill . of satisfaction and pride to be hatted with a brand new chapeau you nave maae yourseu. Then, too, there is the advantage in crocheting - your own ; bat. - of matching it to your costume and ac cessories. , ' . . Battle Will Be CcU.. i a.4. - ' ls Farr.il I . . Monti! al. Sirs. Aide! C on atre is suing her brother and bis wife for $109.99 because they allegedly sent her a valentine. Mrs. Clouatre alleges the val entine bore a picture of a "funny-faced woman, whose features were partially .hidden behind a massive pair of spectacles, 'and at the bottom in writing the cap tion: .'She looks very much like you, ehT She has glasses like yours." On the reverse side were other insults.. ' 1 . Mrs. Clouatre declares the vaW en tint "injured her feelings." a Her brother and his wife deny k sending the valentine.- 170 Persons Equal load distribution Is the second prime. feature of the plane. Engines there are ten, each of 1,000, horse-power passengers and express are all inside the wing, which ' Is high enough ' to accom modate a man standing; and which has a spread of 289 feet The wing is 41 feet from the front to Tear. Doctor Bumpier says be has achieved decentralization. Instead of a cabin in the middle, with other weights such is motors, fuel, pay loads, as in tbe average plane, which puts too much strain on the wings, he has built a wing string enough to . carry the entire load equally distributed. Interior Like Pulman Corridor. The Interior of the wing looks like a pullman corridor. It Is di vided from end to end. On the port side are passenger ' accommo dations much like those of a train. with portholes facing the direction of . flight Behind are the ten (en gines, each with its own attendant and operater independently,' with Its own four-blade propeller. Tbe plane would cost $1,000,000. Tbe second and third would cost approximately $800,000. . Such a plane could reach Hono lulu from : San Francisco ; In 12 hours . with a useful : load of 70 tons, and could .conceivably push on from there ' to Manila in 22- hours. It also would be invaluable to British interests as a link with India and the colonies, a fact which recently has attracted a British syn dicate to inquire about the patents. Coach Wants Musicians S for Football Passers Madison,. Wis. When a coach asks a prospective center . If be 4s a musician, the coach is not as crazy as the candidate might suspect Dr. Clarence W. Spears, bead football coach at the University of Wiscon sin, revealed here.'.'.";'-'-'..!.., A knowledge of music Is valu able asset to a good center, Speas explained. In addition to big bands and ability to pass accurately, a sense of rhythm and timing Is one of the most essential quauncauons of a center, the coach said. .- The center position is the most important on the team, Spears said, because bis pass . initiates '. every play and a bad pass , makes ( the play at least 83 per cent ineffi cient . 'i , . . Strange Bird Threatens Crops on Pacific Coast Yakima, Wash. Agriculturists In the West Coast states are watchful for a strange bird that recently invaded' America.' It is known as the Asiatic xUnah, believed to have found its way here from Honolulu.

The mtnah, about the size of a blackbird, bas yellow beak and feet dark head and brown body, with a large white patch on each wing.
