where and Ketchikan has already
taken steps to observe Alaska Day.
in the Ketchikan Mining Journal the
fact is noted, ami Cecil If. Clegg of
beware, who made the suggestion in
hs Fourth of July address. is given
credit for the original idea.
SHOULD GET SOUND TRADE
Seward merchants should go after
the trade of Prince William sound,
t specially I-a touche, Knight and Mon
tague shimis. Capt. Blodgett offers to
t*at the steamer Tv on ie on the run if'
be can get enough business to pay ex
i ;nsi s. He >;iys Seward sells cheaper
fan Valdez.
A regular local -teatner would also
be 02 great advantage to Seward in .
< Turing a „;>ob aval passenger service.
Tany Seward n are interested in ,
Sou mi copper property and make fro-'
» ie; • tt -s to !•;•■ islands. Seward ,
c in ge t ids trade if it will hustle for .
it and even spend a little money to |
make the start.

'tar. Kdr.umd S. Stevens of Wash- 1
. .ton. D. C.. predicts a succession of *
dangerous earthquakes all over the ^
world unti 11**2. when a shakedown
will level all the cities of the earth. ^
The only chance for safety in that
year will be to live in a tent. The c
earth w iit then get a rest until 203o, j
when it will star: in on a string of
bumps which will make things rattle j.
until 3144. The folks w ho live through
all this trouble will lind the world to
their liking afterward, according to c
the learned professor.
Now comes the cynical Chicago '
chronicle and observes. "Somehow the ^
impression tteopens that William
Travers Jerome is a good deal of a
humbug." Did the Chronicle ever no
tice a man who persuaded the news
papers t spell out his name in full all
the time who was much of anything
rise but : hum bug? Besides Jerome (
thereat ■ William Randolph Hearst.
James Ramilt n Lew is and lot of other
paper wan siap-sti '*n. i
Cuba wi 1 soon b< surrounded by
United; States c a - s but maybe tin*
island polio- will follow the example 1
of Portland. Maine, and refuse the
marines admission to places of amuse
ment. That would keep them away
troru Cuban battle fields.
The president bus extended the
« ight hour day to all classes of govern
ment work. This will go pretty hard
with the department clerks, who have
been doing about eight hours actual ;
work a week._
The Mongolia. >ister ship of the
Manchuria, went on a reef near Ha
waii the same day the Manchuria was
hauled off one. It was kind of the
Mongolia not to crowd her sister.
Mark Twain has come out for "re
formed” spelling. Many years ago
Mark said it was a dull man who
couldn't spell a word more than one j
way.
The press news says that republican
politicians are tilling up Seattle. It is
a safe bet that Seattle is filling the
politicians just as fast as they come.
It is getting to be pretty close lines
for Russian Jews when those who sur
vive a massacre are threatened with '
the death penalty by process of law.
If anybody knows of any more loose
boats just tell the administration and
they will be sent to Cuba to refrain
from intervention.
Murphy says he isn't ready to an
nounce what Tammany will do in this
campaign, which means that the deal
isn’t quite fixed up.
The decease of 5000 Chinese in a ty
phoon will not raise the price of cool
ies. That does make a visible diminu
tion of the supply.
And so Dowie is dying again. This
is about his fourth attempt to shuffle
off in the past year.
I’alma refuses to make any conces
sion. Instead he may run for it.
BUSY POLITICS IN NEW YORK
All indications |>oint to one of the
hottest political fights this year in New
York that the empire state has ever
known. Both parties are broken into
factions which hate each other more
bitterly than the opposing political
organization. The contest may be
three-cornered but in any case it will
discount a Donnybrook fair.
William li. Hearst is running for
governor as the candidate of the In
dependence league and he is going to
keep on running until election dav
close* whether he gets the democratic
nomination or not. Two or three
, democratic faction* want to give it to
him. whil. the silk-stocking element
i* violent in it* opposition. Tammany
i* *aid 10 b>■ for him although bo was
nearly elected mayor of Greater New
York last fall over the regular candi
date. In that contest he showed his
value a* a vote-getter and Tammany is
i always out to win.
Whatever opinion may be enter
tained of Hear*; personally, or of hi*
yellow newspapers and political de
mand*. no room for dispute remain* as
to hi* importance as a political factor.
Hi* remarkable race for mayor last
tail established that beyond question.
If he fail* to receive the democratic
nomination for governor ho will proba
bly have an even chance with the
nominee* of the old parties, running
a* the candidate of the Independence
League. If he receives the democratic
nomination also it i* hard to see how
lie can be beaten. The only possibility
ot hi* defeat seems to lie in the nomi
nation of Charles K. Hughes by the
repvblieans.
Hughes i* the noted lawyer who I
acted a* chief counsel for the Arm-j
strong legislative committee w hich in-j
vestigated the life insurance frauds, j
Hughe* might beat Hearst by draw ing
a heavy democratic vote, but that is [
not certain because Hear*t w ill draw a
large republican vote a* against any
opponent. The semi-socialistic vote ^
will be all his. and it i* considerable
imong republican workingmen. It ;
l\a> been assorted that Hearst received I
more republican than democratic votes
for mayor last fall, but that seems im
probable.
If the republicans renominate Gov.
Higgins, who is backed by President I
Boosevelt and opposed by Odell anu
I Matt, he would not stand a ghost of a
•banco against Hearst, if the latter
jet* the democratic indorsement.
Higgins is an amiable man of common*
.dace ability, hut he cannot poll the
ull republican vote again*t Hearst.
The blue blooded wing of the demo
cracy talks of nominating District
\ttorney Jerome, but Jerome's utter
“a i lure to push the prosecutions against
he insurance grafters and his tender
ie** toward all big corporate offenders
iave K *sened bis potentiality a* a
ot e-getter. The belief is growing
bat Jerome is principally a “poseur."
If the ambulance-chasing attorneys!
>f Seattle had known the other night :
hat a woman had fallen through a j
midge into the tide Hat mud a regi- j
nent of rescuers would have been on
he ground in a few minutes, to get j
ne damage case.

We have everything for those desir
ing outfits for the gold fields.
If you do not believe this ask A. F.
Rice, J. G. Jones, G. Anderson, C. M.
Coutts, W. G. Tickner and* E. Van
Buren. These miners have just out
fitted and are going to ship on the
Portland.
Why do they buy from the P. C. T.
Co. when we have other firms in town
who have had longer experience in
Alaska outfitting? This probably is
explained with a very few words:
We outfitted these men last year.

600 Feet Wide on Middle
Fork of Susitna.

I j
Copper, gold and silver assaying $3.)
•! a ton in a ledge filM) feet wide and
>i traced on the strike for tin* length of
i j ten claims, are the features of a recent
(discover; by Chris Hanson on the
> middle fork of the Susitna, above the
falls. The assay was made in San
- Franci-eo of surface ore sent Mown to
. obtain an exhaustive test of its eompo
' sit ion in every particular.
Mr. Hanson is now in Seward. He
says he is a placer miner and does not
• | claim to know much about quartz but
■ while in pursuit of placer gold he j
• found this copper lode, which he says I
j sticks out so visibly that he who runs!
across it could not fail to notice some
thing of the mineral it contains.
vVhile the ore is not high grade the
deposit is of such enormous extent
that Hanson believes he has a bonan
! za. lie located ten claims and went no
1 farther.
So confident is Hanson of the value
of his discovery that he came to Sew
ard to offer it to Charles 1). Lane, who
was here in the spring and early sum
mer. not knowing that Mr. Lane had
[ gone back to tne states. Mr. Hanson’s :
home is in San Francisco and when he I
returns there next month he will in-1
\ terview Mr. Lane upon the subject of
obtaining capital to develop the
j property. <
Specimens of the ore which Mr.
Hanson has brought to Seward show
I plainly to any man having a casual
knowledge of minerals that they pos-j
soss good value. Additional value is , .
! given to the deposit, if it proves ex-]
, tensive enough to work on a large
scale, by the proximity of large lime
beds. The ore is a sulphide, which
requires silicious ores to flux it. If
the deposit should prove to be of i
enormous extent, requiring years to
work it out. a smelting plant could be (
erected near the mine to avoid hauling
the ore a long distance for reduction, c
The property lies within ten miles of j
the proposed route of the Alaska -
Central. t
Mr. Hanson spent the summer of 1
1005 around Knik arm, and with three
partners located a large number of ,
claims on dredging land near the ,
mouth of Knik river, which he ex
pects to work with a dredger next
year. This summer he spent consider
able time in the Yentna district with
Paul Buckley and he entertains a
highly favorable opinion of the possi
bilities of that region
SCHOOL ELECTION HELD
L. h. Pedersen, E.R. (iray and F. (J.

nue. At a caucus of citizens held in
the tire hall Thursday night Uev. L. !L
Pedersen was nominated for director, ]
K. R. Gray for clerk and F. G. Hale
for treasurer. The latter two are now
j members of the board. Mr. Pedersen
was nominated to succeed F. K.
Youngs, who had announced that he
did not wish to be re-elected. The
caucus ticket was elected without op
position.
Mr. Hale made a verbal report of
i the financial condition of the local
j school treasury, and stated that Gov.
Hoggatt on his recent visit here had
advised the board to make a requisi
tion for whatever amount they wished
for school purposes and he would try
to get it. The board will ask for
$5000 for all purposes, including a new
building, and the governor said he had
,no doubt of getting it.
