It is to he hoped that the coun
eilmcn in their desire to reduce the
running expenses of the town will
not cut ont the street lights during
the summer. Anyone who has
ever attempted to travel through
the residence portion of town on a
rainy night, before the lights were
installed, will have » vivid recol
lection of what a disagreeable task
it was. While there will undoubt
edly l»e times when the lights will
he unnecessary, there is never a
month at a tin>e when such is the
ewe. The cost of these lights is
very nominal. They are worth
more than t5C> per month to give
strangers an impression of an up
to-date town, when their boat ar
rives on a rainy evening. Let an
intending investor stumble up from
the wharf through a rain storm in
the dark, and if it don’t give him
an overpowering desire to take
the same boat out of a place that
ean^ afford street lights, he is con
stituted differently from most men.
For the convenience of the citizens,
and the best intersts of the town in
general, the idea of cutting out the
lights during the summer should
be dismissed from the minds of the
city fathers.
« •
A bill for the suppression or mod
ification of the nee of the powers of
attorney lias been introduced into
congress for several seasons past,
and has never met with favor bv
our legislators. It is up again this
season but will more than likely
die a natural death.
The right to use the power of at
torney in locating mining property
has lieen taken advantage *i by
prospectors for many years in the
states, hut the privilege was never
abused to the extent it is in Alaska,
therefore the mining men in the
states or in congress who have seen
the privilege judiciously used see
no reason to legislate against itr
while here in Alaska, where one
man will take up 50, 60 or even
100 claims by power of attorney,
there is a constant kick registered
against its use although many can
be found who favor it; the latter
claiming that it is the only induce
ment a poor prospector can offer
in return for a grubstake.
1 hose who ot^ect to the use of
the power of attorney should re
member that even though it were
prohibited by law, the hog who is
making his privilege obnoxious,
could still go in on a creek or any
number of creeks, and in his own
name stake all the claims he desir
ed. and do it legally, as there is
no law limiting the number of
claims a man may stake in
Alaska. While this is an unfor
tanate allowance on rich ground,
•till it is accessary where low grade
gold hearing gravels exist, a* one
claim would offer no indncement
far the introduction of hydraulic
machinery, it therefore becomes
aeessary for a man to take a group
of claim* in order to work the same
profitably.
When the situation is studied
over carefully it may be found that
the trouble does not exist so mu b
in the method of taking up the
gronnd as in the manner of hold
ing it.
Under the present law if claim*
are staked in the early spring the
locator may hold the same against
all trespass for nearly two year*
without doing assessment work or
proving up on them in any man
ner, thus giving ample time for
speculative purposes.
If a law were passed compelling
a locator to do a certain amonnt of
work on his ground before record
ing the same, it would prohibit a
man from taking up more than he
. could do the work on within a rea
sonable time, and thus give an op
portunity toothers. This method
has been adopted in some of the
mining camps and has given satis
faction to all. But outside a min
ing district, or before a mining dis
trict is organized, the lead pencil
prospector gets in his tine work,
and shuts everyone else out.
