Welcome. Governor Strong! Welcome, .Mrs. Strong!
To be a governor of a territory ami still to be one of the most democratic
citizens; to occup\ the chief place in the country and yet to occupy the place
of a friend in the general mind of the people; to have an enviable position as
the tirst resident of an immense territory and yet to be envied by none; to
have occupied such a place for years and still to have retained the friend
ships secured in private life; to be a real Alaskan, typifying the truest
characteristics of Alaskans; to be proud of Alaska and to be a man whom
Alaskans are really glad to hail as one of themselves in every sense of the
phrase. That is Governor J. 1. A. Strong.
Welcome!
McCauley once said that the Italians were so refined that they were un
able to wage war ami were compel lev i to call in the Swiss, the Germans and
others to tight their battle* as those peoples had not reached at that time the
degree of culture which would render them contemptible in physical strife.
This is hardly borne out today in the records of the war in Europe. The
most civilized of the nations of the world, the most cultured, the most retin
al. the most artistic have not only stepped down from the forum, the easel
ami the pulpit and the gallery to the arena of physical strife but they are
waging war a- savages never waged it, and because, no doubt, savages did
not have wits. The refinement in the arts and sciences has become the re
finement of cruelty and the perversion shows that it you scratch the skin
from any human being you find the Tartar. Some day refinement may be
developed to such a stage that man will really revolt from the indignity of
hostile physical contact. Already men can be found who feel that physical
combat steal- all that is worth living for from those who indulge in it, but
this feeling is far from being universal.
BANNER YKAR FOR
Wll.LOVN (REEK MINES
(From Cook Inlet Pioneer.)
Several important gold quart*
strikes are reported from the Willow
creek gold camp, which already en
joys. and deserves the reputation of
being Alaska’s banner free gold
camp.
The Gold Bullion Company has re
cently uncovered large bodies of ore
higher grade than heretofore milled.
The management is loath to discuss
the matter for publication, hut it is
positively known that such is the
fact. Manager Harris, of the com
pany. reached Anchorage one day this
week, bringing some $16,500 in gold
for shipment to the States. This
makes the second substantial cleanup
this year.
William Martin, of the Alaska Free
(’.old Milling Company, will have, in
the opinion of well-informed mining
men. the biggest gold yield since he
took over the property. It should
reach well over the $200,000 mark. A
considerable part of this amount will
come from yarded tailings treated by
a cyanide plant. Last year he
cleaned up better than $150,000.
The Independence Mining Company
starts the season under auspicious cir
cumstances. considering the limited
capacity of its mill. This property is
showing up exceedingly well, ami
gives evidence of developing into a
very rich mine when more develop
ment shall be done. Until more work
is done, the manegement will not in
crease the mill capacity.
A strike has been made on the
Mabel group, revealing rich ore much
lower down on the vein than at the
point of discovery. William Bartholf
is the leading spirit in the company
which has taken the group over from
Byron and John Bartholf and Thomas
Caveny.
The Jap boys, who discovered a
rich surface prospect, are working by
crude methods and are recovering
from $25 to $35 per day. The ore is
very rich.
They tell us that at Anchorage it
takes 12 hours after the mail is de
livered to the postofllce before the'
people commence to get their letters.

FAIRBANKS. —There has been'
very little Tolovana gold dust so far
| to assay, but the few samples
brought to the American Bank of
Alaska in this city and melted have
returned $18 an ounce to the miners.;
One very small lot returned a little
more, but the average is $18, as
stated.

Prospectors on Flat creek, in the ]
Wild creek district of the Koyukuk;
country, a section where some good;
money has been taken out in the past,
sunk a hole 225 feet and ran into
clear olue ice. They put in a steam
pipe and ran it down for many feet,
but found no bottom to the ice and!
were compelled to abandon the hole.
It is believed that they ran into what
at one time was a subterranean lake,1
which has become frozen into a solid
piece of ice.
A report from the Chisana says
that there are about 250 men in the
camp, and that encouraging new pay
has been located on several of the
creeks. Grub is scarce.
The copper plant of the Alaska In
vestment Company at Sulzer, which
was closed down last August, reopen
i ed recently, giving employment to
fifty men.
