SEWARD
IS THE
GATEWAY
TO THE BEST PORTION OF
CENTRAL ALASKA
Through this harbor passes nearly all the traffic
of the vast region lying north of Cook inlet and
between the two mountain ranges which bound
the Susitna valley, an area as large as one of the
great states of the Middle West.
In the Near Future
Through the extension of the Alaska Central
railroad, now building northward from Seward,
the territory tributary to the town as the chief
seaport of the southern coast will gradually ex
pand until it embraces the Tanana and upper
Kuskokwim, each a region of imperial extent and
resources.
Seward Already
controls the trade of the Yentna gold mining dis
trict, which old Alaska miners pronounce one
of the coming bonanza camps of the territory.
It controls the trade of the numerous mining
camps along Cook inlet and its arms. From it
start the prospectors who are constantly pene
trating and exploring the interior between Cook
inlet and the Tanana in the search for rich depos
its of the metals which abound in all its hills and
streams.
Seward Outfits Miners
For all this territory. From this town leads the
best route to the new bonanza fields. They are
more accessible than any other great district of
Alaska, an important factor in their development.
Limitless Coal Deposits
lie at Seward’s back door. They have been ex
amined and analyzed by the best experts and
rated by them with the best bituminous coal of
the Atlantic coast. In another year this coal will
be hauled to tide water over the Alaska Central
railroad and can be mined in quantity to furnish
steam to all the ships that sail the North Pacific.
In a few years it will furnish coke to smelters
which will be erected at Seward to reduce the
copper ores of that bonanza field. Prince William
sound, whose richest deposits are within a few
hours sailing.
The Longest Railroad
in operation in Alaska has Seward for its ocean
terminus and its track lengthens each month.
On the finest townsite in Alaska, at the head of
the best harbor on the Alaska coast, ice-free every
day in every year, Seward is building. The town
has water works, electric lighting, sewerage; and
its development is based upon exhaustless re
sources.

COURT EXCLUDES
MUCH EVIDENCE
Both Sides In Haywood Case Lose
Testimony by Ruling of
Jud^e Wood.
By Cable to Tbe Dally Gateway.
Boise, July 20—The tesimonv intro
duced by the Haywood defense and
temporarily admitted by Judge Wood,
intended to show that the deportation of
union miners from Colorado in .the
mining' war there, the demolition of
union stores and various unlawful acts
charged to the union miners, were all
caused by Pinkerton detectives and
werepart of the mine owners’ conspir
acy to destroy the Western Federat ion of
Miners, was all ruled out today by the
court as irrelevant. The court also
ruled out Orchard’s testimony as to al
leged statements of Pettibone concern
ing Steve Adams and Northern Idaho
murders.
Judge Ilawlev began the opening
argument ,for the state this morning
and will speak all day. The arguments
will occupy a large part of next week.
Testimony all in
Boise, July 18— Unexpectedly this
forenoon the defense in the Haywood
trial suddenly rested its case and
attorneys on both sides immediately
plunged into extensive arguments con
cerning the instructions to be given to
the jury by the court. Both sides will
a>k for numerous special instructions.
It is quite evident from rulings
made by Judge Wood and his state
ments made in temporarily admitting
testimony not directly bearing upon
the main issue that he will practically
' eliminate the entire Colorado trouble
and limit the jury absolutely to the
question of Haywood's responsibility
for Steunenberg’s death.
James II. Hawley will open for the
prosecution tomorrow morning and
speak at least a day. He will be fol
lowed by K. F. Richardson and C. S.
Harrow for the defense and Senator
W. K. Borah will conclude for the
state. The arguments will be very
. lengthy. _

morning and adjourned until 2 o'clock
this afternoon. Judge Wood had not
•completed his examination of authori
ties submitted and was not ready to

ity of testimony concerning the deport
ations from Colorado in the mining
troubles there.

Will Soon Ship From Hogan Bay
It is reported from Knight island
that Julius Singer will probably be
shipping orC from the Happy Jack
property on Hogan bay. Thirty-six men
are employed in running a tunnel and
building a wharf. Necessary buildings
are under construction for a permanent
camp and a large quantity of lumber is
on the ground to complete them.
Development work has shown that the
ore body is extensive and as it lies ad
jacent to the water, the entrance to the
tunnel being only 300 feet from the
wharf, the output will be obtained at
very low cost. The company has six
claims on Mummy bay, w’hich are con
sidered to be among the best in that
bonanza belt. On this property a tun
nel is in 140 feet.
