Kntered at the Valdes |ioetnffice ns second class matter.
Officials of the United State*
treasury department who are di
rectly interested in the output of
precious metals believe that this
years production of gold in Alaska
will not only break all records, hut
that it will exceed the total output
of the Klondike and-the entire Yu
kon territory. This if a condition
whioh has been freely predicted for
several years by the Alaska min
ing interests. The gold output of
the Klondike has fallen off largely
since 1900, while the development
of new fields in Alaska has grad
ually increased the production of
that territory.
Director Rolierts, of the United
States mint, who has made a per
sonal ins|H'ction o some of the
principal mining properties in
'Alaska, believes that the 1905 out
put of gold will exceed $10,(WO,000.
This is a conservative statement,
Well within the l>oundsof orobabil
ity, and the prospect is that the
total output will be not less than
'$1,000,000 in excess of the safe es
timate informally put forth by Di
lector Roberts.
The Mining and Scientifiic Press
suggests that the wholesale location
of claims in Alaska can he con
trolled by the miners organizing
districts and making local regula
tions. If the Press was a trifle bet
ter informld it would know that
this has been tried here, but the
judicial department in Alaska does
not recognize the right of the min
ers to have anything to say regard
ing local laws. They are allowed
to make regulations which are
binding only so long as the camp
concerned is unanimous in observ
ing them.
Speaking of a convention in
'Alaska an exchange says: “The
convention is the practical solution
of the problem. Petty grievances
are luid aside, and the all import
ant questions of our welfare arise.”
We are from Missouri, and must
be shown where or when a conven
'tion or political meeting was ever
held in Alaska without the little
•petty grievances and petty aspira
tions of men who would like to sit
uuderthe plum tree dominating it.
'And we don’t think, from our ob
servation of Alaska affairs, that
the petty politicians are working
solely from patriotic motives any
more than they have in the past.
Favor Help For Railroads.
, Those senators and represen ta
tives who visited Alaska this sum
mer, including Speaker Cannon,
were not favorably impressed with
‘giving that territory a delegate in
congress, but have outlined a sub
stitute plan which they will bring
forward at the next session. They
•propose treating Alaska as congress
treats the District of Columbia—
appoint a special committee in the
Senate and house to consider and
handle all legislation relating to
'Alaska. This will place Alaskan
matters in the hands of men di
rectly interested interested in the
territory, and it is belived produce
better results than could be attained
'by a delegate.
Tha congressional party also re
turned from Alaska convinced
that congress should do as much to
aid railroad building in Alaska as
it has done for railroads in the
Philippines, and a movement will
be pat on foot to pass a bill next
session under which the govern
ment will guarantee 3 per ceut. on
the bonds issued for the construc
-tion of Alaskan railroads. There
i» special pressure at present for a
railroad from Valdez to Fairbanks.
There has been a large increase
in the amount of gold shipped from
Nome this year over previous years.
•Up to Aug. 29th the shipments
were $1,121,000 in excess of last
year.
L. Vanslyke has been appointed
■commissioner of the new district
created at the new diggings on the
#antisbna.

“What is probably the greatest
copper country in the world is that
section where the White river, Cop
per river and Nabesna head to
gether in Sosti pass. There is coj>
per enough there to warrant the
building of a railroad” says Henry
Bratnober in an interview at Nome.
“I have seen slabs of pure cop
per there four feet wide, two feet
long and an inch or so thick.
“That section undoubtedly has
a great copper future. Bands cf
greenstone run through the coun
try, and where the greenstone!
crops out the native copper is
found.
“I have seen tons of pure copper
in the White river section, lying in
the streams, where it had been
sluiced down by high water. When
I was there in 1898 the water was
low, and the copper could be easily
picked out of the streams and
placed in sacks. Yes, that coun
tiy has a wonderful copper future.”
The Nome-Arctic railroad will be
extended into the Kougarok dis
trict. Ten miles will be completed
this fall to the head of Nome river.
It is intended to ultimately run ‘
the line to some point on Kotzebue
sound.
A life saving crew has been or
ganized at Nome.
Deputy Marshal Bates took an
insane prisoner named Johnson
from Nushagak to Seattle on the
cannery bark America.
The schooner Mary Ann, the
first to attempt a cod fishing trip
in winter to these waters, is now
on her way north.
