Money For Roads
I Lieutenant Samuel Orchard, of the
Road commission, is in receipt of ad
vices that cause him to be quite hope
ful that the requisition for $400.Otto for
earning on tin* work of road building
in Alaska will be allowed by congress.
'Hie estimates for t he work contemplat
ed by the commission at the time it j
was made up and before Major Rich- i
urdson left for Washington was
(>00. The increase to $400,000, Lieu
tenant Orchard believes, is merely the
result of an enlargement of plans as
worked out by the department tit
Washington, and is. of course, very
gratifying to him. It means the push
ing of the work. he believes, on the
great trail to the western extremity of ;
the peninsula Rampart to Nome, j
’Phis is. of course, a very necessary j
work, and it cannot, in bis opinion, be
undertaken too early to meet the needs
of the district and the mail service. ;
When Majot Richardson left it was
not deemed possible to get the needful
' sum through this w inter. The idea at
the time was to send a man over the
route this winter and mark the best
course for fut tire work.
It is expected to shorten tie* run
from Kaltag to Nome by at least 00
mUe>. Alaskan.
Copper Ore Prospects
Pine copper prospects have been
| found over on M inin river, and it is
said that n<’Xi spring will witness the
beginning of extensive quart/, develop
meats in that region. 15 sides copper
ore, gold quart/, and some silver have
been discovered, which it is alleged,
gave promising assays. Ou the other
side of the mountain range, facing Ka
talla, toward the sea, there is said to
be a highly mineralized region which
l a> yet has hardly known the prospect
tor's pick,and it is not a ditlicult section
in which to prospect.—Katalla Herald.

Tenderfoot \N’ill Yield $500,000

the Tatiana river north of Fairbanks i
will be worth $.*>00,000," said A L.

Alaska Has Vast Coal Area
Of the 600,000 square miles forming j
the territory of Alaska, it is estimated .
that 12,044 square miles are underlaid
by coal bearing rocks—that is. rocks
that probably contain coal seams—and
that 1,280 square miles contain work
able coal, ranging in age from carbon
iferous to tertiary, and in composition j
from ant hraciteof good quality t hrough
high grade semi-bituminous coal to
lignites of various characters. Many
of the known coal deposits are of great
thickness, especially where the coal j
carries large carbon content.
Law North of 53
No longer can it be said “that ;
there’s no law of God nor man runs
north of *>d." Laws are as rigorously
enforced close to the Arctic circle as
the\ are in the most densely populated
center*, and it is probable that, aside
from any law enforcement, men respect
the rights of others hero more than
in any other commonwealth under the
stars and stripes. The trickster will
of course, continue to take advantage
of the nnwary. but no man who comes
here and attends strictly to his own
business and does not become too con
fidential with strangers, need have
fear that his rights are going to be j
trampled upon. The dance hulls are i
running, but the gambling is only con
ducted secretly in darkened rooms ai;d
in places to which the innocent are not
easily lured.—Nome Nugget.

Far-Reaching Law
Three colored soldiers have sued
the president, in his official capacity,
for restoration of rights of which they
claim they have been unjustly bereft.
This means the recital of the famous J
Brownsville story in the courts. It is i
said that one of these eases will be j
carried to the supreme court, and foi
the first time in the history of the
country a soldier from the ranks
will be a litigant against the highest
official in the land.
When it is within the power of a
private soldier to go into court against
his commander-in-chief, and there re
ceive a fair hearing on the merits of
the controversy, without reference to
the station of the litigants, we have a
practical demonstration of democratic
regard for justice that will serve the
world as a model.—Portland Telegram.
