OVERSEAS DUTY
LONDON, Ont.—Probably the most
striking bit of legislation in Canada
since the war began was the authoriz
ing of the famous police force, known
throughout the world as the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police, for ever
seas 'war duty.
In accordance with this, the two
provinces of Saskatchewan and Al
berta were instructed to find provin
cial forces of men to take the place
of the long ruling body.
The ruling is expected to stand, but
though Saskatchewan has evidently
accepted it, and is mobilizing a force
of law enforcers to take the Mounted
Police’s place, the farther western
province of Alberta was less docile.
On Jan. 6 a petition signed by all the
heads of the principal stock raising
and agricultural societies in Alberta
was wired to the Dominion govern
ment, petitioning that the Royal
Northwest Mounted Police be not with
drawn from Alberta. As this coun
try has a large stretch of still frontier
country where liquor smuggling still
flourishes, the request seems to be
reasonable.
Theforce on Jan. 1, 1916, according
to official figures, numbered 750 men.
Of these, however, between 50 and 75
will not be available, situated as they
are in northern regions where, at the
present season, it would require at
least two months and a half to reach
them. The most noted northern post
is at Herschel Island, a point on
Beaufort sea, at the mouth of the
Mackenzie, 2500 miles from the near
est railway at Edmonton. Other north
ern points are Ft. MacPherson, Ft.
Smith, all in Mackenzie territory, and
Port Nelson, Fullerton and several
smaller detachments in the Hudson
Bay region, and Yukon Territory.
Shortly following the Custer mas
sacre in 1876, Sitting Bull, the Sioux
Indian chief, came to Canada with
some of his band and attempted to stir
up an Indian war, using as a pretext
some recently passed legislation re
garding killing wantonly the buffaloes,
which were fast disappearing. But it
is on record that this chief and his
tribesmen were approached while they
sat parleying with the Indians by
two members of the Royal Northwest
mounted force. And these two daunt
less officers, by the sheer force of
their courageous morals, conducted
Sitting Bull and his men back to their
own country.
In 1879 food was scarce among the
Canadian plains Indians. But though
there was a scarcity of game on the
Canadian territory, there was plenty
of hunting just across the line. A
band of some 500 braves crossed from
Canada, but had only hunted a short
time when a strongly armed force of
United States cavalry from Ft. Benton
rounded them up and escorted them
back to the border. The commanding
officer then sent word by messenger
to the nearest mounted police post
for a detachment to take off his hands
the Indians. To his amazement, two
days late, two mounted policemen
showed up; and when the American
commanding officer asked anxiously
where was the detachment to take
care of these 500 Indians, the ser
geant replied, “Why, we’re the de
tachment.” And such was the influ
ence of these men upon the Indians
that they had no trouble with their
charges, which a whole regiment of
cavalry had been required to round up.
In 1882 the Canadian Pacific started
building its transcontinental railway
through the West. To cope with the
tens of thousands of foreign railway
laborers, the force was raised to 500
men. From then to now it has slowly
been added to till the force numbers
750 men.
Probably the principal secret of the
red-coated riders of the plains’ suc
cess in handling the Indians was the
fact that the mounted police recog
nized that the Indians had rights in
the West, the rights of an owning
people. This the mounted police al
ways respected and took into consid
Latest Incorporated Gold Mining Conti
pany to Begin Operating in the
Willow Creek District—Have
Opened Office at 547 4th.
The properties of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company consist of six
claims in the Willow Creek Mining
District, practically adjoining some of
the best paying mines in that section.
These claims contain the same charac
ter of ore and carry the same values
that the richest mines in the camp
have produced.
The location of the Arrah Wanna
properties, right in the heart of a
number of properties that are now
yielding hundreds of thousands to the
output of the Willow Creek region,
together with other natural conditions,
justifies the prediction that the prop
erties of the Arrah Wanna Gold Min
ing Company will in the near future
become one of the largest producers
of that district now conceded to be the
biggest producer of high-grade free
milling ore in Alaska at the present
time.
It is the purpose of the Arrah Wan
na Gold Mining Company to sell only
enough stock to cover the costs and to
meet the costs of contemplated devel
opment. When funds for this purpose
shall have been subscribed the stock
will absolutely be taken off the mar
ket, as it is the intention of the com
pany to take the means necessary for
further development out of the
ground.
The Arrah Wanna Gold Mining
Company is capitalized at $200,000.00
non-assessable, of which amount $40,
000.00 only will be sold for develop
ment purposes. As noted above, as
soon as sufficient money has been ac
quired for initial development work
the stock will be taken off the market,
the only exception being that the
original purchasers will be entitled to
acquire, before the expiration of 30
days after the vein has been cut, as
much more stock as they originally
may have purchased. This insures
them deriving the benefits to which
they are entitled, as they are the
ones who will have helped to make
the mine. The stock will be delivered
to them at the same price as original
ly sold at, regardless of what the
market value may be.
The stock to be disposed of will be
sold at 25 cents per share. For every
share of stock sold at this time an
equal amount will automatically be
placed in the treasury subject to ac
quirement by the original purchasers.
The officers of the Arrah Wanna
Gold Mining Company are as follows:
Mr. T. M. Sheehan, president; S. R.
Maclinton, Vice-President; J. P. Han
sen, Superintendent; T. S. Oliver, Sec
retary and Treasurer. Directors:
Messrs. T. S. Oliver, S. R. Maclinton,
J. P. Hansen, A. B. Cummings.
Considerable expense has been in
curred in compiling an up-to-date map
of the Willow Creek district, which
may be seen by anyone interested, on
request, at office of Arrah Wanna

eration when adjudicating difficulties
that arose. Thus was avoided the
warfare and terrible massacres of
whites which took place in Quebec, in
New England, in Ohio, Arizona, New
Mexico and many other parts of the
western states. Had the Indians been
granted more tolerance; had the in
coming white settlers recognized the
Indians’ right to consideration and
most careful treatment in the above
mentioned places, the history of the
early days of North America white
settlement might have been altogether
different.
