WOULD CHANGE
MINING LAWS
M. J. O’Connor, Mayor (ol
I> :u.glas and candidate lor Ter
ritorial Senator on Hie Non
Partisan lick el in this city yes
terday, in response to inquir
ies from prospect tors had 1 he
following to say on mining leg
islation as il pertains to the
assessment work ion quartz
properties;
“The mining law passed by
the last legislature was
forced through l»y the
members from title placer
regions of the Interior and
Seward Peninsula. J! may fu
iheir conditions but il was
rank imposition on the pros
pector who is looking for gold
hearing rock. IIis lot at best is
a hard one, and the almost ini
possible extetioiis imposed on
him by the Session laws o'
19 Id almost eliminates him a.~
a factor in his chosen field.
The absurdity of the exac
tions are so uwvu'in i>> me
average citizen that one can
hardly conceive how this mens
lire was adopted by a legisla
ture located in the very heart
of the greatest mining country j
on earth. How any body ol
men with common sense
should demand that a poor
prospector should sink a shaft
ten feet on the ore body with
in one year from date of loca
tion, necessitating the expen
diture of considerable money
i for powder and drills, when
an open e.nl requiring no out
lay except arlii;d labor may be
much more advisable au.^ show
' up his claim to much better ed
vantage. The chances are
)] vpry g orl that his discovery
ij nia> jbe some distance from the
] beach, . ud if such he the cast
Ihe first obstacles to be over
come would 'he tlie .building ol
a trail, the nex1 would be thi
building of a cabin. This work

IS THE UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT HONEST?
ll is hard to believe that the
United States Government
would enter into a specific a
greoment to do certain things
u| m the performance of cer
tain conditions and the pay
ment of certain fees, and when
I he mtoney was safely tucked
away in its vaults after the
other parly ‘had performed its
part of the agreement in good
faith, not only utterly refuse to
abide by the compact, but de
cline to return the money or
allow ,-ils deluded victim an op

Maska coal’ claimants have per

SHUSHANNA IS
HALF WORKED
That the greater part of the
Shushanna country which is
known to carry pay has been
worked out is the statement of
A. W. Balaimer who 'is the
last man fo arrive in Seward
from that camp. Some men,
according to Mr. Balzimcr,
have made a little money but
the royalty asked was ridicu
lously high for/ tbe quality of
the ground. In one place where
Hamshaw was paying fifty per
cent, his ground went only 05
cents to the foot. Fred Best
who had No. 3 the same
creek had two dollars 'to the
foot and took out $17,000. Bob
Wiley who 'had the fraction be
tween 3 and 4 took out $23,
000. Hamshaw took out $115
000 on 4 and 5 and on 1, Little
Eldorado, which last named
produced about half the total
of his cleanup. Bryce brothers
took out $5,000 on 7 above on
Bonanza. Other laymen on 7
took out $1,500. Jim Hagen on
3 took out only $000. On a
fraction between 3 andO Dud
McKinley and Lem Gates took
out $6,000 and‘out of 11 they
look $5,000. On 2 on Little
Eldorado, Gar) Whitman took
out $16,000. Johansen and
Wagner took out $5,000 on 3
above. Johansen and company
took out between $12,000 and
$11,000 on 2 Bonanza, Charles
Stone mid his partner who had
Ihe richest pay took $21,000
and each made $5,300 clear
money. Big Eldorado produc
ed $5,000. Mike O’Malley got
$2,000 of lit and another party
got an equal amount. Morgan
and company produced about
$1,500 on Gold Bun. Williams
on 3 Bonanza took out $2,000
and quit $6,000 in the hole;
The pay streak on llamshaw’s
ground was only six feet in
width.—Ex.
