FINDS NEW GOLD LODE
IN SPITE OF DEEP SNOW
(Seward Gateway.)
Why wait for the summer sun to
chase the snow off the hills when you
can find perfectly good gold mines in
the winter, after getting the location
of the favorable looking rock in the
fall?
So said Charles Hubard of the
Primrose. Last fall while hurrying
across a section of land near his hold
ings he saw a rather favorable out
cropping. He had not time to pros
pect then so cut a pole and planted it
in the out-crop to mark the spot.
When the last spring thaw came
and he had to stop hauling ore, Hub
bard took a day off and hunted'up the
stake. Digging down through six feet
of snow he picked a hole in the ground
far enough to find samples containing
free gold plainly visible without a
glass. Then he staked the ground.

BILL STIRS
(Special Correspondence)
JUNEAU, March 27.—In one of the
hottest committee meetings in the his
tory of legislature of Alaska held last
night in the senate chamber, senate
bill 23, introduced by F. A. Aldrich
and providing for the receipt and dis
bursement of an employee’s sick and ;
disability fund, came in for a grilling.
Aldrich opened the meeting and stat
ed its object. He then read a state
ment prepared by himself as to why
the bill should be passed and other
articles printed in medical journals.
He then called for comments on the
bill and the fun started.
I>. L. Thane, manager of the Alas
ka Gastineau company, Dr. Sloane,
physician for St. Anns Hospital, Dr.
Medford, physician for the Treadwell
company, and many others spoke
against the bill and outlined its pro
visions and explained why they would i
not he practicable in Alaska.
Thane was the principal speaker of.
the evening and stated that the bill
as drawn would only succeed in tak
ing away from the men what little
doctor and hospital care they get now
through the use of the entire sum col
lected from them.
“There are about 2,500 men em- 1
ployed on both sides of Gastineau |
channel paying $1.50 per month. ;
This sum is paid to two hospitals and
is made to support five doctors in ad
dition. How far would it go if divid
ed between several hospitals and any
number of doctors? The bill provides,
that any man may designate any doc
tor. What is to prevent him choosing
one in Seattle? We have nothing to
say and if we make any suggestions
we are subject to imprisonment,” he j
said in part. Thane talked for over '
an hour pointing out defects in the bill
and pointed out where it would be ab- i
soiutely impracticable in smaller'
camps where possibly 100 or less men
are employed and how if they split
their fees between several doctors no
one would be able to make anything
and the men would consequently get !
very poor service. At present the
mining companies force the doctors to
care for all members of a man’s fam
ily in addition to the regular men.
Mining men here and many lawyers
and court officials in private conver
sation say that the bill is entirely im
practicable and should never pass.
The sentiment in the house is against
the bill and it is freely predicted
that it will die in committee there, if
it gets past the senate. Other hear- j
ings are to be held on the bill and
Aldrich is running advertisements in I
the papers asking all those in favor'
of the bill to write to him, promis- 1
ing that their names will ne treated j
confidentially.
