Discoveries of mineral are being made all around tins
citv constantly. To the north and south and east and west
and right in the city limits themselves there is gold bta
in- rock. To properly explore just one ot these mountain
ramparts for mineral is a huge task for a crew o Pros
pectors. The proper prospecting ot the district foi, let us
saw a hundred miles radius is a task tor hundreds, even
thousands, of people for years. It is not at all a dream
suggest the possibility that in a hundred years profitable,
new ledges might be opened within a few gunshots ot
Fourth avenue. Even immense ore bodies like those o
the Alaska Juneau and Alaska Gastineau have lain latent
close to Juneau city for more than a quarter of a century
during w hich the town has been in existence.
There would be nothing at all outlandish in a cam
paign to get the government interested in developing tlu
mineral lands along the railroad. Of course, the govern
ment could not be asked to go into the mining game alto
gether but it could be asked to offer inducements to pros
pectors and to those engaged in th« work of development. |
Often it seems we waste a lot of time in asking for hand
outs instead of asking for a substantial meal.
The statements of Mr. \\ iekersham and Mr. Edes be
fore tiie committee of the senate, as given in jesteidaj s
Gateway, rather suggests the Delegate lias that natural
suspicion which attaches usually to government officials
of the appointive order. It is a peculiar fact that most of
us feel that when men are appointed to government offices
thev are prone to assume a sort ot license to diiect the af
fairs of less fortunate mankind. Is it a fact or is it not
that even in democracies the sovereign people fear their
importance. We here in Alaska have learned this very
often. Sometimes we have fought strenuously to have
Alaskans appointed to positions and we have succeeded,
only to find that when those gentlemen got the jobs they
became elevated in their own estimation to a pre-eminence
above the men who worked for them. There is a story of
one man who suddenly and very unexpectedly got elevated
to the bench in Alaska; One day after his appointment
an oltl and close friend who had striven to secure him the
place met him in a strange town and enthusiastically
gieeted him b\ his first name, whatever it was. Let us
suppose it was Sam.
"How are you anyhow, Sam, old man,” cried the
friend as he slapped the judge on the back. The judge
tinned around with all his dignity and glared at tiie or
dinary wretch.
"i wish you to understand, sir, that you are speaking
to Judge Blankety, was his greeting.
It can be said, however, with positive certainty that if
Delegate \\ iekersham ever believed that the chairman of
tiie Engineering ( ommission desired to secure arbitrary
power he had William C. Edes sized up wrong. Edes is
the \erv antithesis ot the kind illustrated bv the story of
Judge Blankety. ‘ v j
CHARLES V St’LZER
Charles A. Sulzer, operator of one
of the largest copper mines of South
eastern Alaska, Territorial senator,
and leading citizen of the First Divi
sion, came to Alaska in 1902, to take
charge of the copper mine at Sulzer,
40 miles west of Ketchikan where he
has since resided. He is a brother of
former Congressman William Sulzer,
of New \ork, who was regarded a*
Alaska s best friend in the National
Congress, and since his arrival in this
territory he has taken a prominent
part in its public affairs.
As superintendent, manager and
operator of the mining properties at
Sulzer he has made good. His mine
has produced copper to the value of
several millions, and its capacity for
production is being largely increased.
Mr. Sulzer was elected to represent
the First division of Alaska in the i
Territorial Senate, being the only suc
cessful nominee of the Democratic
iDvisional Legislative ticket. In the;
first session of his term, he demon-'
strated that he is ojie of the strong
and forceful characters of Alaska.;
He took great interest in all phases I
of legislation that came to the front I
during his first session, which con-;
tinued from March 1st to April 30 of
the past year. He devoted long hours I

The Beautiful Suburb
Of Seward
WOODROW is located 6% miles from Seward.
The Govt. Railroad runs through this beautiful tract.
Woodrow lies near Bear Lake the famous fishing
ground of Seward.
Woodrow may be said to be in the warm belt as the
hills are so situated as to shelter this tract from the winter
winds.
Woodrow is situated just this side of the Bungalow
and plotted on the most desirable portion of the Johnson
Homestead.
A tract in Woodrow is equivalent to more than 12 lots
in Seward.
The price is so low that no one can complain.
You can buy a tract of about one third the size of a
block in Seward for $125. — Some fractional tracts are
selling as low as $25—$50 and $75.
The title is clear—A warranty deed, first handed.
Woodrow is plotted in tracts situated each on a street
and corner on an alley. Lach plot is easy to access.
Woodrow is a beautifully wooded tract and a veri
table park.
ROMIG & ROMIG are handling this property and
will be pleased to interest you in the best offer for a suber
ban home ever made in Seward.
