TOLOVANA MINING CLAIMS
ARK CHANGING HANDS.
Two important transfers in Tolo
vana mining ground were made a few
days ago, according to Jack Allman,
who reached town from Brooks early
last week. Mr. Allman himself sold
his half interest in the lease on the
Sunnyside and Aetna bench claims,
opposite No. 9 above on Livingood
creek, to Tony Zuber, while 'Harry
Buhro disposed of an interest on
Moose Creek to J. W. McCord. It is
understood that the consideration in
the first deal was in the neighbor
hood of $2500, while McCord is said
to have paid $1000 for the ground
he purchased from Buhro.—Fair

ANCHORAGE TO HAVE
FINE LABOR TEMPLE
The newly organized labor union
at Anchorage is now erecting a labor
temple which will be the largest in
Alaska and is preparing to make an
active campaign for members among
all classes of workers in the Cook
Inlet district. In addition to the
tracklaying crews quitting _ the gov
ernment the piledriver gang struck
for an increase in the wage scale to
50 cents per hour. The teamsters,
however, remained on the job and
the freight is now being moved with
out interruption. The Engineering
commission is advertising in the Sew
ard Gateway for ten experienced
teamsters, with pay pf $75 per month
and board.
ANCHORAGE REPUBLICANS
MAKE STRENUOUS KICK
The Republicans of Anchorage are
reported as being dissatisfied be
cause of the small delegation allotted
to them by the Republican committ
tee at the Seward meeting. They de
clare that they should have double
the number of delegates to the ter
ritorial convention alloted to Seward
or Cordova as Anchorage has twice
the population of either of the other
towns. The Seward Gateway rises to
remark that while Anchorage has a
large population that most of them
are new comers and not entitled to
vote at the coming election.

MANY PEOPLE ARE
INTERESTED IN TIDES
Judging from the number of in
quiries received daily regarding the
tides the Prospector is led to believe
that nearly every person in the dis
trict is interested in the stage of the
water at certain hours of the day or
night. During the past year the
Prospector has published the tide ta
bles but with the beginning of the
new year found itself without data
from • which to compile the tables.
In the last mail a copy of the Pacific
Coast Tide Tables was received and
beginning with next Sunday our read
ers will be supplied with reliable in
formation concerning the tides and
that will form one of the features of
each issue.
