_ _^^—i i
m wAK»> uas ueeii so iiu.niai.My associated in the mnitls of outsiders '
veeeut i y wit a the question of the government railroad that the outlook for
the mining industry here has been to a very great extent overlooked or for- i
gotten, although the fact really is that Seward and it> ■
MIMMi \K\K neighborhood give as much promise as any district in
SKNN \RI> Alaska of tremendous de\elopment in the futuie in a i
mining way. The output for this year of gold alone
comparatively small territory around this city will be a quarter of i
th. output of Seward penins ila or the Tanana. and, while their chief industry ■
,s placer mining, ours is quartz, and, therefore, an industry which will in
iTease constantly instead of diminishing.
Thu recent strides taken in the mining game around Juneau serve as a
l«*s>on to show what immense latent possibilities a district might possess
without being able to take advantage of them because or lack of the proper
advertising or capital.. There is no reason at all why the mines around Sew
ar,i d not he as well worth developing as those around Juneau, or an\
, - , . and nothing should be left undone to have that fact published to
the world.
I
III j i\{ KST10N in political quarters today along the coast towns ot .
,;t s to whether the-e will be a combination of Republicans and Dem
,, to defeat delegate Wickersham at the coming election. A represen
tative of the Gateway recently made it his business to in
1*01.1 ill S quire at ti e various towns touched at on the way to Seward
whether there is any movement on the part of the Republi
, ;lM. v» n.it for ard a mat next November, but as far as could be learned
there i' not a name mentioned as a likely candidate on that ticket.
St air bitter opponents ot Wickersham who have always voted the lepub
bean - hot have expressed the opinion that it no republican candidate is put
:\>i-wa d many members of their party will vote for the democrat. They
seem to believe that such v combination will result in a stiff fight, and that
the present delegate will have the hardest struggle of his career. Wicker
sham people, however, gave expression to the opinion that no such combina
tion could beat their man. but all seem to believe that the coming election j
will be the most interesting that has taken place since Alaska was given a
delegate to congress.
As the delegate election will not take place until the time at which the j
election for the territorial legislature occurs this year, there is quite a lot of
time vet for many surprises, and from this time forward it will be interesting
.
to watch the maneuvering.
__
\ ; r w, but rcLrr*'t vi! be felt at the announcement that Franklin K.
I ane. Secretary of the Interior, may not be able to visit Alaska this sum
mer, for Alaskans have come to regard the
KUAN KLIN K. LANK secretary as one of the best friends of the ter
ritory and one of the most able and progres
sive men that sat in the cabinet for many years.
lYoa ,• who have met M Kane seem to have been immediately impressed
with l'is strength of character and abilities, from the vor\ beginning ot
i;is t**! m of office he has manifested the desire to accomplish big things for
this u*rrit ry and that he has succeeded already in doing infinitely more for
u.- than a his predecessors combined is a fact which earns the giatitude and
admiration of every Alaskan worth his salt.
