LOOKIN'!! F01! MINES
The different mining sections of tlie Territory are full
of mining men, il is said, who are looking for investments
in gold and copper mines. It is a hopeful sign and is in
dicative of the revival of interest on a broad scale. Alaska
lias been under a cloud for some time, due in part to crass
governmental policies, and the bottling up of the country
in the cause of so-called conservation. Some sections of
the Territory are going through the process of evolution:
placer mining is being replaced by quartz mining and
necessarilv the development is somewhat slow. But for
all that substantial progress is being made and there is a
spirit of hopefulness abroad in the land.
But while this is undoubtedly true it does not lessen
the fact that railroad transportation is a prime necessity
to the development, growth and permanent prosperity ol
Alaska. The opening of the interior regions by railroads
would bring certain prosperity to a rich and fertile portion
of Alaska and would incidentally benefit the entire '1 erri
torv. And railroads will be constructed, rJ he develop
ment of Alaska may be delayed for a brief season but if
cannot be stayed indefinitely.—Juneau Empire.
A TUIBl/TE TO THE PBOSHElTOU
Every mail who lias sought to wrest nature’s mineral
wealth from the vaults of the western mountains knows the
prospector, the real pioneer'iu the development of the great
western empire, llis courage and hopeful persistanjce can
not he seen without being admired. In an address before
the U. S. Senate, Senator Borah of Idaho recently paid this
passing character the following fitting tribute:
“The prospector is one of the unique, one of the most
exceptional and most worthy of all those remarkable charac
ters who have exploited and led the way for the develop
ment of the west. The west owes him a debt of gratitude
which the west can never pay. Always poor, often home
less. self-reliant, hopeful, generous and brave, he has been
the solitary explorer of desert and mountain fastness: the
mail who has unlocked from its imprisoned silence the
countless millions of what is now the world’s wealth, lit
penetrates the most remote and most inaccessible regions,
defies hunger and storms alike, sleeps upon the mountain
side or in improvised cabins, restlessly wanders and searches
through weeks and months and years for Nature’s hidden
and hoarded treasures. Oftentimes his search ends in
poverty, distress and failure, sometimes in success. With
out the prospector—this poor isolated wanderer- the great
mining centers of the west would not exist. Without his
uneasy, never tiring efforts millions of dollars now on their
way to minister to the happiness and comfort of the race
would never have been poured into the channels of business
and commerce."—Ex. _
AIK. KKVAN CANNOT PLEASE THEM.
The stand pat "papers simply refuse to be pleased with
Mr. Bryan, no matter what he does. For sixteen years
they threw spasms every time he showed a desire or a dis
position to get into social life at Washington. They pro
fessed to believe that if he were to secure any commanding
position at the national capital the Ship of State would
certainly dash on the rocks and national disaster would
follow. Now all is changed.
Air. Bryan has been in a Federal position of importance

The funeral of Mrs. Frank E. Snyder
! at A. B. Hall, this city, last Saturday
j afternoon was a most impressive one.
The ritualistic ceremony as conducted
! by members of the Arctic Brotherhood
| was exceptionally well performed, and
1 the floral pieces, made almost wholly
of native blooms, were most beautifully
garnered and arranged.
Mr. A. E. Maltbv read the burial
service, and Mrs. Sollibakke rendered
a solo.
The services were largely at
tended, people coming long distances
to attend the sad ceremony.
MAIDEN BROUGHT
INTO HOSPITAL
Fairbanks News-Miner, August 18:
Suffering from paralysis, which affects
the whole of his left side, A. J. Maiden,
the weil-known old sourdough prospec
tor, was brought to St. Matthew’s hos
pital last night, having been brought
down from the Big C’hena in a motor
boat by F. W. Carr. As Mr. Maiden j
is a member of the local igloo of the
Pioneers of Alaska, he is being cared
for under their supervision.
The men who were sent up the Big
Chena to bring down the afflicted pros
pector, report a very hard trip. They
left here on July 2nd, and since then
have been endeavoring most of the
time to reach the cabin in which the
old man was lying helpless.
Mr. Maiden is bearing his affliction
bravely. He is over 80 years of age
and has probably sunk more holes in
search of gold than any other prospec
tor in Alaska. He is being attended by
Dr. McCall urn.

Nome News, July 19: William
G. Butler and Owen Nidym, two
soldiers, were sentenced to two
years and three months each in
McNiel Island for assault with in
tent to commit rape on native
women at St. Michael.
The men were found guilty by a
jury some days ago but leniency
was asked for. The penalty for
the offence is from one to fifteen
years in the penitentiary but the
court evidently took into account
the recommendation of the jury. It
is said that the jury did not find
them guilty of the greater offence
because they believed sufficient
punishment could be inflicted bv
finding them guilty of assault with
intent.

Iii a late issue of tbe Dawson
Daily News is a story concerning
Mrs. Anna Nee, formerly very well
known in Fairbanks and Iditarod.
The story itself is as follows:
Two well known Dawson peo
p'e figured lecently in an action in
the Tacoma courts which is of
added interest because o! the fact
that the matter was settled by a
jttiy comprising women as well a
men. The three women were
aske-d by the court if they might
not be pit iudiced in favor of the
women in the case. They stood
out after the tiial for the man, and
the men on the jury for the wo
man. The Tacoma News says:
Antra M. Nee obtained judg
ment for $200 against Willard
Jones in Judge Iiasterday’s court
yesterday afternoon. Three years
ago, the plaintiff, who was in the
restaurant business in Dawson, be
came acquainted with Jones and,
according to the testimony, lent
$200 to him. Jones denied getting
the money.
There were only two witnesses.
The plaintiff said she lent the
money and the defendant denied.
The jury was composed of three
women and nine men. Tire wo
men members were asked collec
tively if they would be prejudiced
in favor of the plaintiff because she
was a women. Glancing at the
plaintiff, who bad been endowed
by nature with more than ordinary
attractive features, one of the wo
men replied:
“I don’t think the women on
the jury will be prejudiced, but I
am afraid some of the men may be. ”
The case went to the jury about
3 o’clock. The first ballot stood
nine to three, the men voting in
favor of the handsome plaintiff and
the women for the defendant. Bal
lot after ballot was taken without
changing the results until about 6
o’clock tbe three women went
over to tbe side of the plaintiff.
Of late years the Swedish govern
ment has granted “cultivation loans’’
very extensively and this has made it
easier for the farmers to obtain credit.
