The mineral producing district of Alaska
may properly be divided into two sections,
namely the coast country and the inter-
Tor. The coast country includes that por-
ton of Alaska bordering on the North
Pacific Ocean, and the interior all that
section drained by the Yukon River and
its numerous tributaries.
While almost every known mineral is
found to exist in Alaska, comparatively
little prospecting has been lone for any
thing but gold. From 1883 TO 1892 silver
was discovered in several localities In the
southeast portion of the coast country,
but the depreciation of that metal dis
couraged investigation into the extent of
the deposits, which in some Instances were
most encouraging. The largest deposit
of this ore was found in what is known
as Sheep Creek Basin, about two miles
north of the famous Treadwell Gold Mine.
but on the opposite side Of Gastineau
Channel.
In 1885. at Golofnin Bay. an arm of
Norton Sound just north of where the
Yukon River pours its water into Bering
Sea, rich galena deposits were found, and
such easy access and so rich in silver
that it proved profitable to mine and ship
the ore to San Francisco, a distance of
over we thousand miles by water. Over
$780, 600 was expended by the company
operating this mine in 1892, but misman-
agement and internal discussions caused a
cessation Of work, the resumption of which
would doubtless awaken an interest in the
mineral prospects of that portion of
Alaska.
In the coast country gold is principally
obtained by crushing ore, while in the
interior washing and sluicing are the only
means employed.
1t is doubtful if prospecting in any
other country in the world is fraught
with the obstacles and Acknowledgements
that are encountered in Alaska. The
whole of the southeast country is COW
cred with a dense forest of timber, and a
thick growth of moss and underbrush is
everywhere found among the sturdy hem
lock. spruce and cedar trees; and many a
miner has for this reason been deferred
from pushing his Investigations very far
away from the banks of the streams

The Damrosch Musical Union of Hud-
son County gave a sacred concert last
night in Prasser's Hall. 1t was a success
full affair and was thoroughly enjoyed
by a large audience. The large hall was
filed to its utmost capacity, and many
were compelled to stand. The stage was
covered with ferns and beautiful flowers.
and the musicians sat in the midst of this

SOMERSET PLANS REVENGE.
A Serious Rupture Threatened
Through the Actions of Monno uth,s

SOMERVILLE, April 10, 1Sse.-Great
indignation prevails among the Republic
cans of Somerset over the .'turndown''
given them by the delegations from Mon
mouth and Msddlesex at the district con-
vention held at New Brunswick last
week.
Somerset has been repeatedly ignored
by the two larger counties ever since it
was placed in line with them to form the
Third Congressional District. AT a for
mer convention the rupture from this kind
OF treatment was 50 serious that Mon
mouth and Middlesex patched UP the diff
.ferences by conceding to one district dele
gate to the coming national convention.
When the Somerset delegation reached
New Brunswick on Friday with Lewis
A. Thompson, Clerk in Chancery. as their
choice, they were amazed to find that
Monmouth and M5ddlesex, with their usual
lapse OF memory. had combined against
Somerset by stating the allotted number
There was a#weak attempt to QUIET the
outraged delegation by the nominations of
Assemblyman Charles A. Reed and Charles
Place as alternates, but Somerset would
have none of it.
Both nominees refused to serve. Somer-
set IS poWerless in the matter, having only
eighteen delegates to M~onmouth's fortv-
one and Middlesex's thirty-nine, but she
mas now a well laid plan to get even.
Somerset Will be represented at no more
conventions. nor will she assist in anv
Congressional convention until she is ac-
corded her rights. This plan carried out
Will be a serious blow to the prospects of
Congressman Howell, who will seek a
reelection next faH, and who cannot sue
coed without the handsome majority here
tofore given him by Somerset.

Last Appeal to Democrats.

Probably by this time. every mans mind
is made up. every vote is as good as cast.
Anything hat may now be said can
hardly affect the result.
Yet there is one appeal which may be
made to voters. and that is to go to the
polls and vote. Do not neglect your duty
in this matter because this is only a
bye-election. In this election is involved,
to a large extent, the fortune Of the great
one which succeeds it.
On Thursday of this week.. the Repub-
leans cohorts assemble at Trenton to Sc
deiegatss-at-iarge to the National
Convention at st. Louis. This SHOULD be
a warning and an incentive to every true
hearted Democrat. 1t shows that we are
right upon the opening of the Presidential
campaign, and the vote that it cast upon
Tuesday is bound to be an omen of the re-
suit In November.
Does any Democrat desire to send the
delegates from this county to Trenton,

victory in a Democratic stronghold? Does
any Democrat desire to send the represen-
tatives of the State to Trenton, armed
with assurances that the State of New
Jersey will desert the Democratic column?
Does any Democrat desire to nave it pro-
claimed to the Union at this time that the
Democratic stronghold of Hudson has

Republican State and county and town,
and Encouragement and dismay to every

confidence in their party and are deter
mined to stand by her, they must dis
play no apathy tomorrow. A vote to-
morrow may count for two next Novem-
Der. 1t may help to win over the doubt
ing, to confirm the wavering, to stimulate
the apathetic. to put new force and fire
into those who are already aggressive.
Then let every Democratic vote be cast.
We can take our chances Of the indepen-
dent element. There is reason to hope
1t is on our side; but. we must trust to
Providence and good Jersey common
sense to keep it there. But our own
votes, as Democrats. we do control, and
there never was a time like this to stand
