SEWARD, ALASKA. TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1916.
%
The Juneau Empire takes exception to a remark made in the Gateway
some time ago to the effect that the outlook at Juneau is not so promising
as it was owing to the decrease in the value of the mining stock of the
Alaska Gastineau, and the Empire points out that the stock is far above par.
It also says the decrease is temporary and is only due to encountering what
they call a “horse” in placer mining.
The Gateway at that time quoted some people who had just arrived on
i steamboat. What they told was true but it hus been found since that what
the Empire says now is also true. The decrease in the value of the stock is
:. mere nothing; Just one of those fluctuations which are inevitable almost.
A eit of a barren intrusion, if one might speak that way, was encountered,
some men were laid off, the output was cut down and then followed a little
scare.
It would be a bad blow to all Alaska’s mining interests if anything seri
ous happened to Juneau’s mines, but nothing has happened. They are the
same vast properties with the same tremendous possibilities which promise
to make Juneau one of the greatest mining centers in the world.
Delegate Wickersham Says he has been able to find no opposition to the
railroad appropriation. He must be asleep. We have J)een told that the
Guggenheims and all their cohorts have been going about like roaring lions
seeking to devour Seward and everything connected with it. Even the names
of prominent people have been mentioned who are supposed to have gone
back to Washington to tight every appropriation for the continuance of rail
road construction. How funny it is that the delegate from the territory has
been unable to find them out. And he knows them ail intimately and he
has been present at committee meetings and has had every opportunity in
the world to see and hear their diatribes. Now, Delegate Wickersham, this
will never do. There are people in Alaska who depend for a living and
political standing on their supposed connection with yourself. They drag
you into their tights because they want you and your supporters. They want
to be with the majority. All along the coast are newspapers, so called, which
are kiting the hem of your garment, declare their adherence to your cause
and your adherence to theirs. When you bark ut the Guggenheims they bark
just like our musical malamutes imitating the whistle of incoming steam
boats, only, like the malamutes, they keep up the barking long after you have
become silent. Like unto the steamboat whistle, there may be some utility
in your voice but theirs is nothing but the vociferous expression of their
canine faithfulness, their dog-like fidelity, their malamutian mimicry and
mummery, their servile salaams. Oh, Sahib! Say not there is no opposi
t:on to the appropriation. Be merciful to your lowly slave agitators.
THEY VOTED “NIXY
At a special election held last Mon
day in Juneau to determine as to
whether the inhabitants living . ad
jacent to the town limits should be
included in the city of Juneau proper,
the voters of Nelson Park addition
and the Gold Belt-Seatter addition
voted in the affirmative while the
Tideflat addition voted “nixy.”
It is claimed by officials that street
and other improvements will be car
ried forward in the additions which
were annexed and the school tuition
will be removed, while it will remain
in force against the Tideflat addition.

FAIRBANKS LINE
FAIRBANKS, Dec. 14.—The fol
lowing message was received today
from Delegate Wickersham:
“Secretary' of the Interior Lane’s
estimates contain an item of $225,000
for the purpose of clearing and grad
ing twenty-four miles from Nenana
south. On Monday, December 6, I
strorlfrly urged that the work north of
Nenana be undertaken. I am now
awaiting the arrival of Chairman
Edes of the engineering commission,
when l will again urge the proposi
tion. Secretary’ Lane told me to as
sure the people that the government
railroad will be built to Fairbanks.”
The dispatch further says that
United States Marshal Erwin of Fair
banks had an interview with Secre-;
tary I^ane last Friday and was
“knocking,” but that he exerted no in-1
fluence. Wickersham urges the peo-1
pie of Fairbanks to put a stop to the
“knocking.”—Iditarod Pioneer.
