THE BIG PLACET
AL WHITE
Candidate for Alaska Legislature
PLACER LAW.
I favor a repeal of the existing placer
law passed by the last legislature and be
lieve the legislature should get as much
information as possible from the prospect
ors of Alaska relative to mining legislation.
ELECTION LAW.
I favor the enactment of a lawful and
proper election law; one that will meet
with the approval of the people of this
district.
LABOR.
I favor the passage of proper legisla
tion conducive to the prosperity and hap
piness of the laboring man, and, therefore,
I favor a repeal of the present eight-hour
law. I believe laboring men have a legal
and moral right to form trades unions for
the purpose of peaceably assuring concert
ed action in behalf of those things to which
they are entitled and which, without or
ganization, individuals cannot obtain.
I advocate and defend the right of work
ers of every branch of activity to organize
for the purpose of securing shorter hours
and increased wages.
I favor the enactment of a law making
it a felony to participate in any combina
tion or conspiracy to blacklist employees.
I also favor an employer’s liability act,
as well as safety appliance legislation to
protect the limbs, lives and health of the
workers.
CANNERIES.
I believe a law should be enacted and a
tax levied on the canneries and their pro
duction—a law that would compel the can
nery Interests te pay.
DEVELOPMENT.
I favor the Immediate development of
all the resources of Alaska and especially
this district, and believe the control should
be left to the people of Alaska and demand
that our coal, timber, oil and all other re
sources be opened for entry.
UNJUST LEGISLATION.
I am opposed to unjust and oppressive
sumptuary legislation which intereferes
with the personal rights of citizens.
To all of which I am pledged,

GRANITE GLEANS
UP $1,000 PER DAY
Concrete Foundation Had Become
Cracked, Permitting the Gold To
Escape—Repairs Made.
Senator B. F. Millard and W. R.
Millard returned yesterday afternoon
from the Granite Gold Mining com
panys’ mine at Port Wells, bringing
gold bricks valued at $14,000. Dur
ing the month of August the mill
was closed down for nineteen days
while repairs were made to the con
crete foundation.
Senator Millard, when seen by a
representative of the Prospector, stat
ed that the mill was now turning
out approximately $1,000 per day.
The plates have averaged better than
$500 per day since operations have
been resumed.
The gold brought to Valdez yes
terday was not entirely the product
of the mill during the few days since
resuming operations, as a consid
erable quantity of the amalgam was
recovered when the foundation was
taken up. The concrete had become
cracked, permitting the gold to es
cape, so that it could not be recov
ered in the regular clean-ups.
It is announced that in the near
future a power plant will be install
ed, capable of doing the work at
a reduced cost. Work will also soon
begin on the cross-cut into the lower
vein on the lower level. The sump
has been put down to drain the
workings and the vein will be en
countered at a depth of 250 feet be
low the surface. The Granite prom
ises to develop into a big proposi
tion, and its prosperity will hasten
the development of other properties
in the Port Wells district.

WORLD POWERS
Tells Congressmen U. S. Has Right
To Buy German Ships and Use
Them for Neutral Purposes.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2—“We have
a perfect right and no power can
dispute the authority of the Ameri
can congress to purchase and operate
the vessels of the German merchant
marine and use them for neutral pur
poses,” said Secretary of Treasury
McAdoo, son-in-law of President Wil
son, to the members of the House
committee, to which, had been re
ferred the bill to purchase the Ger
man merchant vessels and operate
them under the American flag to take
American products to Europe and re
lieve the business depression in the
United States.
The statement caused much sur
prise among the congressmen, who
were fearful that the United States
could not carry out its purpose to
establish a merchant marine by buy
ing the German ships because of the
opposition of the British and French
governments to the safe to the Ameri
can government of the big German
liners now in America.
It is also reported here that Japan
has objected to the sale of the ships,
but the State department refuses to
make any satement regarding the en
trance of Japan into the controversy
now on between the ^United States
on one side and France' and England
on the other.
