NOME. ALASKA, FEB 11, 1916.
The imminent prospect of a rtgh
over the confirmation of Louis Bran
deis as an associate justice of the su
preme bench seems about the mos
conclusive evidence that could be pro
uuced to show that he is Just the mai
ior the place. Tiie opposition to th
learned Juror is evidently mspirec
solely by the belief that he ,Y incllj cu
to what is termed "radicalism" -which
means, when employed by the astute
mouthpieces of the corporate Interests
in congress or elsewhere, that he Is
liule too liberal minded in his view
to be acceptable to Big Business
L ' and els has long ago earned a reputa
tlon for broadness of vision and a wil
‘Snets to v,e" “‘inss from the stand
po.tu of justice rather than the ofte.
doubtful premises furnished by the
common interpretations .of the law
and in so doing, he has naturally ! i
cuned the distrust of those to whotr
the law is simply a vehicle for tin
attainment o personal ends. His bit
ter opposition to the monopoly 01
"f transportation by the New Haver
was quite enougii to make him per
sona nan grata with every railroad
Interest in America-to say nothing o
the other corporations, to whom suet
m- ton as opposing the vested Interests
is the rankest kind of heresy ant
hardly to be condoned under any cir
cumstances.
The corporations have little use for
a man who vvlil not accept the view
that all things should be subordinate!
to tin- Interests of those who, throug'
wealth and powerful Influence, contro'
the mainsprings of Industry and they
have less use for the one who will
oppose his knowledge and strength tr
the grasping greed of those who are
dully grinding the life blood out of
the totltng masses of humanity. Bran
dels has done all of those things, dur
ing his long and useful life and lias
oven gone so far as to voluntarily
propose methods whereby the trusts
could be controlled. In addition to
tlrs unholy las majestle, he has dis
played signs of a tendency to social
isilc thought which alone was bound
to earn him the condemnation of the
classes who control the strings of com
mence and Industry. Brandies has not
been what may be termed an active
champion of the people but he has
come so close to It in hts efforts to be
Just to both sides, where capital and
labor were in opposition, that he has
long ago been marked as a natural
opponent of those who seek the ex
pi Itation of others for their own sel
fish ends
Such a one could not be acceptable
to the money overlords or the captains
of industry even though he possessed
the wisdom of a Solomon, unless he
was willing to lend It to their Interests
and as the whole tendency of such of
Brnndeis’ acts as have come to public
notice have been toward granting an
equal Justice to all, It Is not to be
wondered at that he Is viewed with
doubting and distrust. The whol'
trouble with him. In the view of th
interests, is that he Is too much given
to looking at both sides of the case
and to making his decisions in accord
ance with tht facts and not with thej
-—-1 -
letter of the law. A man of this ehpr
acter in altoirether too unsafe to be
allowed a hand In forming the decis
ions of a court of last resort wherein
j the principal litigants are those "'ho
care not for Justice or right hut only
| for that which will lend to their own
i interests.
WHEN FIGHTING
MEN GET HOME
Nothing about the great war Is quite
?o Interesting as Its final effect on the
nternal affairs of the nations so bus
.vlth It. When finally peace between
hem Is accomplished and the common
lunger that has coerced all tnterna
ional factions to co-operate has pass
’d, what sentiments will those factions
lave for one another, and how w’lll
hey express them?
In 19H England was on the verge
)f civil war. France, governmentally
tpeaking, was pretty rotten; Italy had
inprecedented strikes. In all these
ountries there are interestong read
justments coming, bur not In any of
hem does one look or revolution. All
hree are democratic countries, and not
ikely to change their form of govern
nent, whatever changes may come in
octal policies.
But in Germany and Russia, who can
ee the limit of what may come , of
he sifting out of what has been tried
,nd found wanting, of the Inrush of
r
new authority overwhelming the old?
In Germany there is due the set
telment w 1th Prussia and the Prussian
dynasty; in Russia a great settlement
with a corrupt and tyrannous bureauc
racy. No good that can come out of
the war is too good for the Russian
people. They have been magnificently
devoted and heroic. Rut what propor
tion of their dues they will get and
by what process they will
get them we must wait to see. War
is the opportunity of the oppressed
The management and responsibility of
war ftil’ on those in authority. When |
the n . Pagers are hard beset, then is;
the pc pie' chance. Russian rascals
had a hard crack in the war with Japan,
they have had another hard crack now.
Japan gave Russia the duma. What
Germany will give her Is yet to be
seen, but It will be something good—
as good, no doubt, as great a help to
liberty, as what the Germans will get
from Russia.—Life.
ALASKA NOTE’S
High prices are always to be ex
yected in new camps lor tne reasor
.i.ut it is always bard to transport tbi
•ecessities of life to such a place, an.
.ue Toiovana camp is no exceptior
xowever, the news received in Fair
idnks from the r.ew camp indicate
i.ut in some lines the price is highei
.nan was ever known before any
where. For instances, tbe market price
» Brooks for empty kerosene or gaso
me cans are 11.50 each. They are
used for water buckets.
Treadwell: In drifting Its new tun
nel crosscut at the 2,300 feet level oi
.he mine the Alaska Treadwell Com
pany cut the ore in the Treadwell
.nine. The point at which the ore was
,truck is directly beneath the Gastln
,au channel and la about 2,200 feet be
.ow the bed.
The Treadwell company is preparing
.o extend its development work, by
urlving drifts and erecting chutes at
me 2,100 level of the Mexican and

Master Signal Electrician Robert
uoghrey, officer in the charge of the
Fairbanks signal corps and radio sta
.ion, has opened a school of electricity
.n order to fit tbe men for promotion
us soon as they are returned to the
itates. He has ten students from the
men of the service and a number of
young men of Fairbanks have applied
for admission to the school. Signal
_orps men who have a knowledge of
-•lectrlcity are much in demand in that
oranch of the service, and have a bet
.er chance for promotion.
The development of the Nevada
creek mine at Douglas will add another
jig producer to the long list of Gas
tineau channel mines. The tunnel which
is to tap the ore at a great depth Is
now In 800 feet. Considerable outside
development work will be done to
hasten the opening of the mine. About
forty men will be employed all winter
The company has ample funds and It
is believed the property will prove Its
value and soon take Its place among
the big producers of southeastern Al
asks.
A special act of congress may be
necessary before the people residing
In Anchorage for vote for delegate or
jn other territorial affairs.

| Under the government railroad act
the president reserved certain town
cites along the line of the government
railway of which the land at the
mouth of Ship creek, Including An
chorage as platted, and considerable
other ground Is one.
An agreement has been reached be
tween the litigants li^ the Can mine
case whereby H. E. Ellis will continue
to operate the mine and will pay into
the registry of the federal court 6 per
cent of the gross amount of gold taken
out, pending the decision of the appeal
case as to the ownership of the one
fifth interest.
During the trial it was shown that
approximate $26,000 In gold has been
recovered from the ores treated since
the mine was reopened last summer
This includes the output from H. E.
Ellis' operations as well as John
Hughes, the layman.

The large bodies of high grads ore
which have lately been "struck" ln^
the Orafter mine, cause that property
I to rank among the very best copper
mines known. On the 150 foot level
recently a ledge was broken Into which
is known to be IS feet wide and still
i
widening. At the present price of
copper something like $15,000 per week
Is the output of the Orafter and should
the weather remain as It has been

or even wlthn twenty five degrees sf
what It has been, operations there will
continue right along during the winter

Valdes Miner: It Is reported from
Seward that a number of accidents,
one of which proved fatal, have occur
red at Datouche during the past few
days. The names of the victims have]
not been reported but it is said that j
one man was killed by falling over a I
cliff near the Beetson mine.
Another man, who had been employed i
with the company, lost a leg by its
being badly crushed in the machinery.
It appears that his overalls had caught]
between two cogs and his leg was I
drawn in and crushed, requiring that
it be amputated to save his life.
Two men are also reported to have
suffered broken limbs by a cave-ln
while working in the mine. One of
the men. it Is reported, had both legs
broken above the knees while the other
suffered a broken leg and crushed foct.
