Rampart has already con
tributed some forty thousand
dollars to the United States
government through licenses,
besides an indeterminable!
but perhaps greater sum
through customs duties, in
ternal revenues, and the va
rious other schemes of indi
rect taxation. And Rampart,
will doubtless continue to so1
pay for a long time to come
without any other recom
pense except what may be
received through the road
fund. Looking at the mat
ter thus, it is hard to discern
the justice in a movement
that would turn this camp’s
allotment of that fund into
a new and hitherto non-pay
ing locality.
It would be a very safe
prediction that the present
stampede to the (’hnndlar
will neither be the last nor
the largest one to the north
side of the Yukon. Besides
a large area of promising
country between the big river
and the Endieott range, be
vond the summit there is the
greatest totally unknown re
gion in Alaska; and it will
Ik* rather to be wondered at
than otherwise if many finds
are not made in that direc
tion that will justify men in
making a dash for fortune.
Not to try to lift the veil of
tin* future, however, let Us
sincerely ho|>e that the pres
ent stanipcder* will not U*
di*ap|>ointed.
This paper can by no
means subscribe to the edi
torial policy of the Fairbanks
Times; but it is a pleasure,
nevertheless, to remark that
whoever makes a better
newspaper than the Times
will accomplish something
to be proud of. It is also a
very great pleasure to state
that the Times now reaches
Rampart regularly, thus evi
dencing a change for the
better at the Fairbanks post
office.
