WHAT CONGRESS
OUGHT TO DO
(Continued from page l )
together will increase our general
prosperity immensely.
There should be no difference re
garding the ultimate result. The
old saying that “the Lord helps
him best who helps himself,” is
particularly applicable to this pres
ent crisis and does certainly illus
trate the attitude of our Canadian
brethem, who are making the situ
ation at Prince Rupert as attractive
as possible for those with fish to
sell. If we, Americans, had the
Canadian system of remedying
such emergencies, the situation
>ould be improved very speedily,
for we would have an order in
Council passed, becoming effective
immediately, and the problem would
be solved without further delay. As
it is, we are obliged to look to
Congress, which involves the cus
tomary delays, explanations, argu
ments, etc-, taking a great deal of
time, with our neighbors across the
way reaping the benefits while we
hold the bag in the meantime
It is to be hoped that later ad
vices will bring us the news that i
Congress has finally come to a thor
ough understanding of the needs of
Alaska in this respect, and has de
cided to look at the situation thru
American eyes; with the best good
of American interests at heart
In the light of the present min
ing developments in this locality,
which is not moving as fast as the
mineral showings of this ,vicinity
deserve, we must look to the fish
business for the immediate future,
and, while I am not a pessimist, and
while I firmly believe in the ulti
mate future of Ketchikan and
Southeastern Alaska generally, I
venture to predict that unless the
fish situation is bettered along the
lines indicated, within a reasonable
time, that we shall feel the injury
severely. CHAS. H. COSGROVE,
Pres. Commercial Club

THE MINING WORLD
OF KETCHIKAN
It was reported a few davs age ■
that the Gastineau people were
about to enter the Ketchikan min
ing precinct. The r umor was trac
ed and was found to be accurate
The company is said to have taken
a bond on a group of some twenty
claims adjoining the Sea Level mine,
and that they were now—or would
soon be engaged in taking out 20
tons of ore to be taken at their
plant at Juneau to ascertain the
real value of the ore- If the value
that is claimed for the ore found
to be correct, the claims shall be
worked extensively this summer.
Mr. N. Sweetser, superintendent
of the Granby Consolidated Mining
and Smelting Company, operating
the Mamie and It mines at Hadley
said last Saturday that the com
pany was pushing the development
work at the It mine with unusual
vigor; in that the company was now
using a diamond drill in the mine
The work was given on contract to
the Boyle Brothers, of Spokane,
Wash., under the direct supervision
of Jack Culbert, an experienced dia
mond drill man. The work was be
ing done to increase- the output of
the mine- *

flowers were placed in windows
and corners. The ladies are indebt

An added attraction was the
fountain given by Mr. Foord and
placed in the hall, and is deserving
a vote of thanks to that gentleman

ing themselves at the bountifully
spread tables, after which the dance
continued merrily into the wee
