JUNEAU, April 4.—Emery Valen
tine, formerly* mayor of Juneau and
subsequently defeated for that office
aPtwo spirited elections, was elected
to the office again yesterday by a plu
rality of 83 votes over Ralph E. Rob
ertson, who ran 31 votes ahead of
Claude Ericson. It is conceded that
the Valentine plurality was the result
of a light registration and the close
division between Robertson and Eric
son. Gunnar lllomgren and George F.
Miller of the citizens’ and peoples’
tickets and Nels Sorby, who was a
candidate on the peoples’ and the Val
entine tickets, were elected council
men, for the two years’ terms, and
William W. Casey was re-elected to
the school board without opposition.
Ralph E. Robertson justified the
prediction of his friends that he was
the stronger of the two candidates
running against Valentine.
There were 125 of the registered
voters who either failed to go to the
(Kills or refused to vote on the office
of mayor. The total registration was
1026, and the total vote cast for
mayor 901—more than 500 short of
the vote at the general election in No
vember. The total number of ballots
cast was 913.
The election passed off quietly, and
the vote was quickly counted. Early
in tHk evening the large plurality for
Valentine in the down-town precinct
and the almost equal division between
Ericson and Robertson in the up-town
precinct where Valentine ran third in
dicated that Valentine had won the
three-cornered contest.
The following was the result:
For Mayor.
E. Valentine. 366

MINING IN !
COMES TO SEE
TOE COUNTRY
—
C. J. Wall, a prominent mining man
; from San Francisco, is in Anchorage •
: and expects to remain for some time;
! looking into the mining resources of:
| this country. Mr. Wall is an old1
jfriend of George Anderson’s, who is
exploiting the Cache Creek Mining 1
company and who successfully put
across several important mining deals
in the Willow creek district.
In speaking of the future prospects
of the mining industry in this vicinity
yesterday Mr. Wall said that while he :
was not personally acquainted with
any of the properties, that his trip to
Anchorage was due entirely to the
creditable accounts and reports he ha I
gathered on the subject. He further
said that the specimens he had seen
! since coming here would more than
' justify a thorough examination of the
field and that he was well satisfied
that the local mining industry was in
its infancy.
Mr. Wall continued by saying that
from what he was able to learn that
lack of capital had retarded develop
I ment and that if the proper showing
was made there would be no trouble
i to interest the necessary capital for
I future development.
“I am delighted with my first im
pressions of your thriving city,” said
Mr. Wall, “and I’ve got a hunch that
I have made no mistake in selecting
Anchorage out of the many legitimate
mining propositions I have had put
up to me in the past year.”
Mr. Wall will be associated with
: George Anderson, the local mining
: man, during his stay in Anchorage
! and vicinity.
