SEWARD. ALASKA, THURSDAY. AUGUST 5. 1915.
The idea of Judge Lindsey being found guilty of contempt because he re
fused to testify to something that was given to him in confidence suggests
again the rotteness of politics in some cases.
Lindsey is a man who a few years ago enjoyed a nation wide respect on
account of his work in the juvenile court of Denver. Recently an attack was
made against him by politicians whom he had, no doubt, not pandered to but
the attack failed. The present ease may or may not be the result of the same
political game but the possibility that it is so is strongly suggested by the
circumstances. Politicians of a certain brand consider anything justifiable
that supplies them with an advantage over an opponent. They hardly seem
to be conscious of the dishonor entailed. Some day the people of the United
States will change all this, anil the sooner the better.
There is a man at present in this town who has mined successfully in
other camps in Alaska and elsewhere and who expresses the belief that the
country adjacent to and on this peninsula contains the most extensive and
promising mining lands in the whole territory. There may be no ' lastineau
discovered here, he says, but there are greater numbers of good paying
ledges than any other district could boast of while the placers, in his opinion,
are all but limitless. This opinion is shared by many of the most expert
mining men who have visited this section, but there seems to be some dif
iiculty in securing capital in the quantity required for the work of develop
ment. The men who own quartz which they are unable to develope with
their own financial resources seem to be slow in taking steps to have the dis
trict properly advertised. If all the men who are trying to secure capital
would only get together anti put up a tew dollars each they might do some
thing. but they never seem to remember that fact.

HAINES RAILROAD
FORFEITS RIGHT OF WAY.
JUNEAU.—The local land office
has received notice of the forfeiture
of the right of way applied for by
the Alaska Midland Railroad com
pany, running from Haines to the
boundary line. The company'forfeit
ed its rights for failure to file the re
quired maps of the definite location
of the road within the time required
by law.
John Rosene, of Seattle, was the
promoter and head* of the Alaska
Midland Railroad, which was propos
ed to run from Haines up the valley
of the Chilkat and through the Por
cupine country, crossing the head
waters of the White river and down
the Tanana to Fairbanks.
The road was first promoted shortly
after the Fairbanks strike ami a
great deal of surveying along the
route has been done. The road ran
, part of the way through Canada and
was said to have the best route and
easiest grade from the coast to the
interior.
EQUALIZATION board
ADJOURNS MEETING.
JUNEAU.—The members of the
city council who have been sitting as
a board of equalization for the past
week, adjourned yesterday afternoon
at 4 o’clock. No more protests will
be heard, although the board has a
little more work to clean up, which
will be finished today.
The boa i'll has heard the protests of
over one hundred property owners
and have acted on them. They have
changed the assessed valuations on
nearly 100 pieces of property within
the city limits, and the roll will bring
over $S0,000 in taxes.
Many pieces of property have been
raised in valuation by the board and
many have been lowered, one about
equalizing the other. The exact
amount of the assessed valuation is
not known at present. It will be as
certained today and the tax levy foi
this year will be fixed.—Dispatch.
