FIRST MINING CORPORATION
It was with a feeling of pleas
ure last week that the announce
ment was made that a mining
company had been organized to
operate Hnoryo mines in this
vicinity and that Seward people
had taken the intuitive step.
The development of mines, like
the building of railways or the
enlargement of other enterprises,
requires capital. This capital
must be secured, and it cannot
always be raised at home, partic
ularly in the west, as the west
must look to the money centers
for capital. .John D. Kockefeller
owns less than one third of the
stock of tlu* Standard Oil com
pany. The great Pennsylvania
railway is not entirely owned in
i iu* Keystone state. Many of
our great enterprises art* owned
•ntirely or in part by foreign
•apital. lienee to develop latent
resources, it is necessary to com
bine in some manner and derive
revenue by disposing of shares
!o persons who have funds tor
n vestment. It appears that
<ueh a course has been taken by
the incorporators of tlu* Damas
cus Miningand Milling company. I
! no shares art* ottered tor sulci
Seward, or if Seward’s citi- i
•ns do not care to put money |
n this new eiuerprise, they I
- ould. by all means give it their j
• •arty moral support. It means i

ber of the order, read a letter from Dr.
L. S. Keller, i tyor of Skagway, grand
artie chief <»' the order. Dr. Keilei
wrote Mr. White that i» seemed to be
tin* wish of uh< order to hold its annu- ;
al encampment this year in Seattle
the tirst tin. e in the history of t lie order
that an enchampinent has been held
outside of A a>ka and he asked that ,

that the club rooms should be placet;
at the disposal of the Artie brother

Poetry and Prose
Backward, turn backward, oh l ime. [
in your ilight: make me a l»u\ again j
just for tonight. t'ive me the Mi-" el |
that mj»t.irous time when 1 would got
swimming, say half of the time: gi'e,
me the blister that follows the bliss, on j
tin* part of my hack that the sun didn t
miss: give me the pelting that followed
it then: make me a jubilant urenin
again. Backward, turn backward, oh
Time in your light, give me one
chance at the teacher who larruped
me five times a day O. give me one
chance at that teacher I say! And
give me the woodpile a** bigas a hill:
let the pleasure of splitting it cheer
me and thrill, while the boys gaily jeer
me from over the fence. Oh, give me
that pleasure again darn the expense!
The small reservation just overthehill.
where the thougnt of the hoeing would
give me a chill; the cow that caressed
me each eve with her tail as I tried to
draw milk fora twenty-quart pail: the
hens that forever were wanting to set.
the pig with a stomach man never
filled yet; the measles that hit me, the
Colicky pain—Oh give me the bliss of
my boyhood again! If you’d fill me
with rapture and cheerful delight,
backward, turn backward, oh time, in
