REPUBLICANS WILL PUT i TICKET IN THE FIELD
WILL SUPPORT DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE
—. . " ———
The Miner was in receipt of
a wire from the north this morn
'ing stating that the Republican!
territorial committee had de
cided after obtaining the ojpin
; ion of the leading members of
the party throughout the Ter
ritory, that it will not ore-e^
a candidate " TTir"' "Delegate b
Congress, nor will it hold a
| convention this year. The Ter
ritorial Committeeman sug
gests that the members of the
District Central Committee^
pursue such course is they may
deem best with reference to a
party ticket for members of the
legislature.
The above meets with the ap
proval of the Republicans of
this neighborhood, who believe
that the fight for Congress
man sould tie made between
the Straight-Hue Democrats,
representing the Wilson Ad
ministration. a; t the present
incumbent of the office. The
smarted "Progressive Demo
crats” are not apparently taken
with any great degree of ser
usness by anybody but them
selves, especially when one
takes into consideration the
tact that The. lore Roosevelt,
the exponent of Progrcssive
>m i- the m s; vigorous oppon
cut of the Demooracacy of today
and the two will mix with about
the same degree of ease as oil
and water.
Mayor Harris was recently in
receipt of a communication
from the Mayor of Douglas ask
ing if he would join in with the
other mayors of Southeastern
Alaska in issuing a rail for a
non-partisan convention at Ju
neau for the purpose of nomin
ating candidates for the ter
ritorial legislature. It is alto
gether probable that this will be
done and a ticket represent
ative of the different towns of
the division placed in nomin
ation. just as was that of two
years ago which swept aside all
opposition and won a straight
victory by electing every one of
its candidates.

UNTOLD POSSIBILITIES
That we know very little of
the mineral resources of the
Ketchikan Di-trict is evidenced
bv an article published in thi
i:-sue of The Miner over the
signature of Edw. Brown, the
assayer. In addition to the
platinum mentioned therein,
tin has been detected at Georg
es Inlet and tungsten and
chrome-iron on Cleveland Pen
insula. With the rapid improve
ments being made in luxivat
ing processes our low grade
copper ores will be treated on
the ground at small expense,
while our low grade gold-bear
ing shists extend in a broad
belt completely across the dis
trict. Their economic impor
tance is being recognized by
American and English capital,
which has bonded all proper
ties offered and are now either
spending or preparing to spend
large amounts of money devlop
