In the light of recent discoveries.even
the most elementary student of urology
must recognize tiiat minerals and
metals of commercial vaite at , to ho
found near Seward. Heretofore no
legitimate prospecting has been done
near here. All have looked to the 1
green hills far away. Now attention
will be directed nearer home.
You can belie veas much of this war
dojie as suits your taste.
JUST HELPED THEMSELVES
Alaska has so many republican com
mittees anti directors-general that it
cannot be ascertained until tbe call
i is received which one called the ter
! ritorial convention, but it exhibits
| a disregard of simple arithmetic
which is almost admirable. The
assignment of delegates is certainly
not based upon the republican vote or
the total vote cast at the territorial
election a year ago, and representa
tion must therefore have been shov
: eled out according to some notion of
the abstract merits of different lo~
! cal it ies.
Notice these samples: Juneau cast
410 votes. s7 republican, and gets 10
■ delegates; Skagway east 2f»2 votes, 10
republican, and gets t* delegates; \ al
| dez cast 275* votes. 200 republican, and
gets !> delegates; Seward and railroad
precincts cast 202 votes, 102 republi
can, and gets 2 delegates. I he (»ate
1 way tiles do not show the \ote of
Ketchikan but it was less than either
\ aide or Seward polled, yet the town
' gets 0 delegates. Sitka cast h votes,
pi republican. and gets 2 delegates.
Treadwell must have done some
thing personally offensive to the re
publican mandarins as it is cut o!l
■ with 2 delegates, though it polled — 1*
; voUs, 75*republican. Wrangel gets 2
the: gh it is a small place. liampart
n uiveii 2 for 71 votes. 11 republican.1

charge must have acted on the princi
