MINING RIGHT AT HOME
Seward will soon h:*\< a mining
camp i-ijfht at home. The develoj*
metits on Kails ereek indicate tin* pres
ence of a honan/a there, ami for miles
the croppings are^v «ible. hnotijfh has
been dime to demonstrate the fact that
several rich mines are already insight.
The only uncertain feature is the ex
tent of the mineral-ln arinir area.
In just such a truich as 'bat i>f l*a!!s
creek lie quart/ camps all over the
west, jrivinir employment toUirjje nuni*
hers of miners, and many <>f them eon-j
taininjr populations rmminif up in the
thousands. Should Kaf ' creek prove
to he one of the l*Ur eatnps its activ- ■
ities will add largely to the growth o ,
Seward. Should it employ only a few j
hundred men it will be a factor for!
Seward, as a supply point, to count on. i
The interesting feature about the
Kails creek discovery ;s t he demonstra
tion that valuable quartz dejmsits exist
on Kenai peninsula, and it is especially
jfrnti'yinsr that it is >o close to Seward
, Other localities, w hich ^ot in their ad.
vertisim: a little earlier than Seward,
have been wont to point the timrer of
scorn at this infant city and to reiter
ate the assertion that Seward has no
mines. Kven the » *><*k Inlet hydraulic
and dredcinjr areas have been nun
t ioned slight iimly.
Seward has conn* into its own.
Within two weeks an eastern syndi
cate has bought the best-known hy
draulic property on the Inlet, paying a
fortune for it. and on the heels of that
sale is announced ?h** detertr.ination of
one of the foremost ntininy in n of the
t 'oitsl and his a.ssiK* at* s to invest im
mense sums m quart mines whose ex
istence was unknown live months a fro.
Wit'n the advanced * tit of the Alaska
< entral railroad into the interior the
transit of mineral w* alth through Sew
ard. and supplies n»t he mines, will
make all other minp'tf cities ol Alaska
second-rate, hut it will always hi* a
source of pride to have hi# mines at the
buck door.

WHERE BURTON WAS WEAK
Senator Hurton of Kansas has been ;
airain convicted of accepting fees for j
his services before a national depart-1
meat in behalf of a elient. In tin'
case involved the elient was a corp
oration of doubtful standing.
The trouble with Hurton was not |
that he is worse than other politicians,
but that he is no better than the ace-I
rajre. For t hat reason be was vulner
able to the vengeance of as crooked a
! iranyf of jK)litieal bladders ais ca«n be
found any where outside ot New \ ork j
land Philadelphia, as .every Kansan
; knows.
From Mine to time this outlit has
1 been turned down by the decent people
| of Kansas, and Hurton had helped to
■do it. If Hurton had been honest he
would be t lie foremost man in Kansas
today, for he is the ablest man who has

THANKSGIVING DAY
Ke>- L. H. Pedersen Tells of Its
Significance and Duties.
The ehild who never says “thank
you” is generally disliked, anil the
adult with no sen»e of gratitude is de
N!,Aed. He might pitied. for the
■ absence of this quality will finally
make him misname.
Our president and our governors
have asked the people of this nation to
assemble today in their respective
plan s of worship ahd return thanks to
Coo for the blessings we enjoy. As
patriots we should honor the request,
and give at least a small part of the
day to serious meditation.
The Christian's Goilis impartial, for1
he maketh hi> sun to rise on the evil j
and the good, and sendeth rain on the (
just and the injtist.
“Here, in this solemn’hour, I raise
My heart to thee
In grateful praise
For all the good that erownod my days
Through the old year gone !”
We are indebted to our relatives,
and fri*mis and strangers as well, and
even trials, failures, and sorrows may
Ik* cause for p -esent gratitude-they
have made us stronger.
Hut if gratitmb* is due bom man to
man. bow much more from man to his
Maker. “Kvei'v blessing we enjoy, by
what means soever it may he derived j
uj>on us. is »he gift of Him who is the ;
author of good and the father of,
mercies,” wrote Addison. However,
"thank you” is not always a complete
payment for gratitude, more is required.
**The Vw'st thing that hearts that are
thankful can do
Is this to make thankful some other
heart, too.”
And many will speakof such as one who:
•Wore upon his face the smile’of peace
As it lie held communion close with
God
And loved the world and all who on it
trod;
And those w ho met him smiled* and
thought ho*r fait'
The world must he to him, anil straight- j
way there
Ko<w* in their hearts a glad thanks
giving hymn.” L. H. 1*.

By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Nvw York- Nov. 21) At a dinner
here last night to celebrate the victory
of reform forces in New N ork, Phila
delphia and t ’levelamL District Attoi
1 ney Jerome attacked the judiciary of
: the country. He said the people had
always been taught to Jtuld the bench
in reverence. but iluit in this country
! it bad almost ceased to command ordi
nary respect. Kven tin* supreme court,
he said, was in the same category with J
lesser tribunals because of many ot itsj
decisions.
Jerome said that a New York man I
who raises his voice against thej
practices of the bench today is called a i
crank, but for himself he intended j
nevertheless to continue to denounce
many existing judicial methods as dis- j
graceful to the courts and the country.1

Society Leader of New York Says
Men Line Up Like Sheep
Mrs. Stuyvesant Kish, wife of the
president of the Illinois Central Rail
road C ompany, and a leader of New ;
York fashionable society , recently got
into print the following roast on the
sheep-like devotion of men to prevuil
; ing styles without regard to taste:
•‘Talk about slaves of fashion, we
women arc not iu it with i he men. 1 hey
: wear straw or felt hats, according to a
certain date, and pay uo attention to
1 the weather or to their own comfort.
I but that is no all. For years they've
| dung to the derby fashion, because it is
: the style, and if there’s an ugiler, more
j uncomfortable or more unhealthful hat
then a derb\. 1 don't know wlutt it is.
•‘There’s not one man in a thousand
to whom sueh a lias is becoming. Ilut
tall men and short big-headed men and
small-bended men, fair men and dark
; men. all stick them on and walk around
i with a self-satisfied air.
i ”lf fashion decrees a narrow brim
derby, all men wear narrow brim der
! hie.». regardless of the fact that the
j narrow brim makes the. round face look
' like a full moon. If broad brims are
the fashion, every man wears a broad
brim, although it makes the thin-fea
tured man look like a searcrow. If
| fashion says brims shall roll sharply at
! the sides, even the man with large ears
; wears asharp, rolling brim, although
he must know that it makes him look
; like a 'yellow kid.'
•‘Women will mind Fashion so long
i as she dictates something becoming,
but they will refuse to look like frights
to please her. But the men follow her
j blindly and devotedly no matter at
what sacrifice to their looks. And
every fall I wonder what has become
of the handsome men. until 1 remember
that the ugly hat season has come upon
them."
Starts a Whale Dairy
A genius up at the Halena whale!
fisheries has. according to various re
jx)rt>. succeeded in domesticating the
cow whale. The whales are not ex
actly household pets yet, but accord
ing to Professor Mueller, their owner,
they are very useful. Fifty of the
whales come daily to a little inlet
and art- milked, each of them giving
five to seven hogsheads a day of milk.
When the adventurous Professor Muel-1
Ur began to experiment with cow
whales he found great difficulty in
persuading them to keep still while
being milked. The whales could not
understand the professor. Hut they j
like good things to eat, particularly
sweets. They .'ere lured, a few at a
time, into an inlet where they were
fed with choice whale food. At last
they were taught that no milk meant
no food. And they submitted. They
now stand without hitching and have
never been known to put ft foot in a
pail while stamping to keep off the
tliv>. New York Tribune.
The steamship companies which con
trol the Nome traffic estimate that 15)00

weeks ago that Cook Inlet was frozen
