ISSUES MADE PLAIN
While one appreciates harmony, especially in the Ter
ritorial political family, disclosures as a result of the fight
between Auditor Cash Cole on the one hand and the
Treasurer, Attorney General and the Governor on the
other, carry with them a deep measure of benefit.
This friction has disclosed a broad spread of respon
sibility for the promised deficit in the Treasury, the meth
od of bookkeeping in the Treasurer’s office and the short
sightedness of legislators, such as was shown by the last
Senate, in not giving a sympathetic ear to Mr. Cole’s sug
gestion that steps be taken to balance the budget, and at
the same time create responsibility for his office by ac
cording it certain privileges such as using discrimination
regarding the payment of moneys when an emergency
such as the present exists.
As has been shown in the statement of case by Mr.
Cole, he sought to compile a list of emergency disburse
ments such as that for the schools, pioneers and roads,
giving priority to each in point of its importance. Failure
to make the position plain in the act creating his office
and spreading the responsibility over such a broad scope
that initiative and judgement was nullified, has created
ihe piesent awkward situation, wherein such matters as
the pay ment of pioneer pensions, aid to the needy and
salni les of teachers are held up, while appropriations ex
ceed revenues on hand or which might accrue were passed
oy the Legislature.
The Auditor’s hands were tied and all vestige of ter
ritorial control was shorn from him when the Legislature
as pointed out, handed the Governor discretionary auth
ority over 35.43 per cent of the the money’s appropriated
So clearly is the issue drawn between Auditor Col
and the ‘‘royal family’’that it is easy of understand™
e\en >\ those not lamiliar with such intricate subjects a
linanee. It is a question of whether the office of Auditor
created by the people of Alaska to handle its disburse

SEASON'S ACTIVITIES
CACHE CHEEK AREA
j By special correspondent from
Cache Creek, Yentna District.
Cache Creek had a v/et season,
.. flood waters nearly all summer,
! hut no damage was done to any
j of the hydraulic outfits with the
! exception of John Kimball and Joe
Galasha on Falls Creek, who had
their nenstock washed out, causing
several days loss of time.
Murray and Hoyser shut down
early as there was no ground left
under their pipe line that was suit
j able to hydraulic. They have torn
up their pipe line and are making
| preparations to work the Pineo Bar
next year.
Fred Dassell is ground sluicing
! on Cache and has had some nice
cleanups.
Four new comers from the States
1 worked just below the old dredge
! camp, ground sluicing. They made
wages or a little better for their
time.
A1 Wolf is on Thunder Creek,
and while he is not doing so well
this year,, from all indications, next
' year will be better.
John Kimball and Joe Galasha
I are on Fall Creek working a lease,
; and are supposed to have made
; good money.
Matt Hamburg and Mike Tref
key are on Dollar Creek and have
been working the Canyon; high
water has caused them a little
trouble.
Joe Krumenacher is on Chechako
Creek and has a very nice crop of
boulders. The ground is about 15
feet deep and contains fair values,
i Adolph Tarashi, on upper Cache
1 Creek, is running a small hydraul
ic outfit . The report is that he is
not doing so well.
■ George Anderson, the camp’s
only quartz miner, has been spend
ing the season checking up on the
ledge on the upper end of Nugget
Creek.
Nick Balabonoff came in late in
the season and ground sluiced on
upper Nugget. He lost his sluice
boxes in one of the high water
periods but managed to recover
them about two miles down the

creek.
Two men are working the old
Dick Creek ground on upper Cache
and claim to have done fairly well.
They are moving their plant in
preparation for the next season’s
work.
The Peters Creek Co., who have
been working the Carlson ground
on lower Peters Creek, have report
ed that they have had several very
nice cleanups. They are more than
likely top men on production for
the camp this year.
Henry Peters is ground sluicing j
on his ground about a mile above ;
the lower Canyon on Peters Creek, i
Frank Jenkins is working on Lit- j
tie Willow Creek and is supposed to
have about two years more work!
there.
A man by the name of Wagner
has bought the old Haryer ground
on upper Peters Creek from H. W.
Nagley, also the Gadegon ground
cn Bird Creek and expects to work
next season.
The Alaska Road Commission
lias had a crew working all season
on the road to Cache Creek and
this fall they have been working on
the Peters Creek trail. They are
figuring on improving the road
around Peters Creek Canyon so
that it will be possible to get a cat
in there.
Any person who figures on going
into Cache Creek country, looking
for work, had better line up his
jcb before he goes in there as there 1
are very few men hired any more. '
Murray and Harper have six min- j
ers and a cook and Peters Creek j
Co., have four miners and a cook. I
The men are usually hired over
from 3/ear to year.
