IN FAIRBANKS
Tanana Strike Is Peaceful-New
Men Arriving* Every Day But
• Little Work Is Done.
Fairbanks, Feb. 20—Nothing in the
appearance of this town indicates that
there is a strike on. Everything is
quiet and there is no change in the
general situation. The striking mi
ers are holding out stubbornly and the
operators are standing pat. A few
men are coming in almost every day
with the intention of going to work
but very little mining is in progress.
There are rumors that the strike is
about to be settled.

Lawson Is It
Robert Barr says the greatest writer
of ancient or modern times is Klbert
Hubbard. Klbert may come it over
the classic masters and have the
strangle hold on Addison, Carlyle,
Hugo. Walter Peter and Augusta
Kvans, but the master writer of
Knglish is Thomas W. Lawson late of
Kvery body ’s.
Read Lawson’s goodby e to the dear J
public in the February magazine and
disagree or agree.
He is the ginger laureate of the
world.
Law>on says plainly he has given up
the tight and that he will immediately ;
return to stock gambling to reas
semble some of tin* several million
dollars he has spent upon the educa
tion of the American people.
The summing of the whole matter
seems to be that the people is punk.
Most leaders, reformers, world boosters
and martyrs have found it so. We
build beautiful marble monuments for
our liberators when they are a long
time dead, and concoct marble faces
for them as long as they can blow a
feather with their last breath.—Gar
ret Philosopher.
Land and Mineral Decisions
Publi>hed by Woodford I). Harlan,
land attorney, Washington, 1). C.

tenant is not the maintenance or estab
lislunent of t'i sidenco requisite under
the public land law.
Settleni' iit —The failure of a settler
to as>crt hi> right within the Statutory
period, and consequently loss of prior
ity against an intervening entry,
does not preclude the assertion of his
right as against a subsequent entry
man, where saitl settler remains on
the land and the intervening entry is
cancled.
Relinquishment A relinquishment j
when tiled operates eo instanti to re-'
lease the land from the entry.
Practice- Papers presented for filing
hut refused by the local office on ac
count of press of business, should he
held as tiled of the date when present
ed.
Mining Claim—The right to pur
chase mineral land is restricted to
citizens of the United States, or those
who have declared their intention to
become such.
Mineral Land—The mineral value of
a vein is not established by an ordi
nary assay certificate.
Coal Land—An entry of coal land at
tacked by subsequent homestead
claimant, may be canceled as to the
legal subdivisions that are not val
uable for coal.
