BLANKET MINING LOCATIONS.
A letter to the (lateway from Sun
rise states that there is much com
plaint amon;? the prospectors of the
Yentna district because so many men
have placed blanket locations upon
IHO-ac.rc tracts. The correspomlent
iirifes that the newspapers should try
o stop it. Newspapers can do nothing
alnml the habit except to warn loca
tors that they mti't keep within t he
law. The federal minim? statutes
|N*rn>:t the location of ItW-acre tracts
hv companies ot eij?lit. I'hesc loca-1
iions must hr ma le in j?ood faith hy ,
I mi, a tide locators. comply imr with all I
fond it ions as to d.-covery and as-ess
nent work. If the locator- fail to!
comply wit i ’ lav* tin* aid oi the;
federal courts cm he invoked to
•■-top'' them.
Tin* (Jalewav correspondent calls
iti option tot: a tha' e -* 'very is

adds that discovery tinder the condit

'In fonipla et ot the prospector- is

locations are invalid and many of them

NOT FOR JUNEAU THIS TIME
.luneau is makiny a tiyht for the
emior.al ca| ul ami somebody Im
. worked a lot of senators and represen
atives to help 5us -t the fame. Sena
tor Piles has introduced a bill making
in appropriation for the purpose and
in the last mail the Gateway received
,i letter from t.\>nyres$man Sul/.er en
elosiny a copy i>f a bill to appropri
ate Kino,ooo fi»r the same purpose. and
asking support ‘or it.
Senator Piles ;tnd Mr. Sul/.er are
staunch friends of Vlaska whose efforts
in liehalf of Ih»* whole territory can
not Ik: too w :u inly praised Gut in this
.luneau project the Gateway asks to he
excused anti !>••’ ■ ve- that nearly all of
Vlasta except .luneau will assume the
-ante attitude. The reasons why Ju
neau should not he chosen as the per
manent capita! are forcibly stated in a
letter by the Sitka chamber os com
merce which he Gateway prints to
bay. The yrmvth of Alaska is nearly
all to the westward and northward
uid in a few years the Southeastern
panhandle will be of no more relative
importance than the sail of a do,:', inas
much as a doir can yet alomr very well
without a tail it is not yood form for
the tail to try to way the doy.
Tne capital should come westward.
Seward is not uskiny fo*‘ it and if the
town is w -e she never w 111 ask for it.
A state capital is nearly always an in
cubus. It we yht-down the city upon
which it is imposed with an atmos
phere of professional politics and en*
yraft- upon t- municipal affairs a
string of tinhorn and steam beer poli
ticians who are a nuisance to any
community. The >ocietv and business
of a state capita! are sometimes almost
as petty, narrow and parasitic as the
human tlow ami ebb of the national
capital. Seward does not need the
capital but if the fates inflict it upon
the town the will of the Lord In* done.
It makes little difference to the
main body of the territory whether
the temporal! capital be at Sitka or
Juneau, but everybody outside of
Juneau ouyht to howl ayainst the
erection of any valuable buildinys at
either place which would inevitably
influence the retention of the capital j
awa! from the reyion where it should!
*
