* HEAR ELOQUENCE •>
* - ♦
Two hundred people attended at A.
B. Hall last night to hear the forensic!
fire of C. W. Winstedt, candidate for
mayor. Seldom in the history of
statesmanship has a man been able
to hold an audience so long. For
more than two hours he drove home
some of the most vital facts concern
ing our daily life and conduct. His
satin' on occasions was mordant to
the scorching point, his higher periods
were Olympian in their grandeur, his
ideas were never limited by the paltry
requirements of the possibilities. He .
attacked the old council in a manner,
that might give the impression that
he is on the Gateway ticket, but, for
tunately, he also attacked the Gate
way itself.
He also attacked the granting of1
the right of way on First avenue but
here he ran right up against an enemy
battery in the shape of Judge Fin
negan. Mr. Winstedt said the build
ers of the dock had a certain purpose
in having the street cleared and the
words used by Mr Finnegan were that
anyone who said so was a “D
liar/' Mr. Finnegan is attorney for
the men attacked. The judge also
spoke of the idea of bonding the city
for half a million as nothing more or
less than an absurdity.

Granby, ant! his bride.
Bob Barber, the mate of the Far

photographic likeness of himself. At
least the rest of the officers say so.
Sam Cappers has arrived from
Mile Seventy-one, or Kern creek,
I where he conducts a fine roadhouse.
He says the travel over the trail
j comes in bunches and sometimes t
roadhouses are taxed to the limit.
Speaking about roadhouses, it i.>
interesting, perhaps, to quote the
words of a pro pert ior of one who is
! now in town who says that Americans
| mushing over the road are found
' oftener to be broke than the foreign
ers.
C, B. Hill, foremrly operator in the
cable office here, arrived on the Aro
line in Seward, accompanied by Mrs.

CENTRAL ALASKA MAY HAVE
ITS DIAMOND FIELDS
Frederick Zorn know,n to old-timers
of the Seward Peninsula country as
the “Dynamiter,” and who now signs
himself “Mineral Prospector,” writ
ing from Lake Creek, “nearly near
Mr. McKinley,” under the date of
Feb. 16th, says that he has diamonds
on his property located in that region
several years ago, and which he has
been prospecting since June, 1015. He
says he has secured three diamonds
of 3, G and 10 grains respectively in
weight.
Mr. Zorn says that he is confident
that his ground and the region in his
vicinity contains a great many dia
monds, and that they will eventually
add to the product of Alaska.—Juneau
