umes of smoke can be seen pouring out of
the crater for many miles around.
Earthquakes are usually severe and are
of very frequent occurrence upon the Inlet.
On the 9th of April one of the sever
est of the seasons series of seis-
matte disturbances occurred. The shock
lasted about five minutes. 1t sent immense
boulders rolling down the mountain sides
and caused the trees to wave like beam
stalks in a gale of wind.
The heaviest earthquake shocks on the
Inlet usually occur about this season of the
year. The tremblers visit the Inlet coun-
try so frequently that they fail to receive
even a passing notice unless, they are of
more than usual violence.
The Douglas miner. [volume] (Douglas, Alaska) 1896-1897, 1896-09-30

The greatest trouble, said a we'll known
mining man who has just returned from
Cook inlet, with the country up there
arises from the fact that there
are large stretches of territory owned
either by single individuals or by small
companies. The claims instead of being
properly devided up and thus allowing
many people to own them and consequent
ly giving work to many more miners,
are now divided off into twenty acres,
which approximately means a claim ex
tending 1900 feet along the meander line of
the creek and 900 feet on each side Take
forinstance the Polly Mining company's
five claims at the mouth of Mills creek.
They extend very nearly mile and
half along that stream and certainly en-
brace the best ground that has so far been
discovered in that section of the country.
Yet at no time during the past season did
the Polly Mining company employ more
then ten men to work this wide, stretch
of rich gravel. And during most of
the season their entire force consisted
of six men. This would not be
the condition if the claims were. of
the same size, say as those in the Yukon.
At the rate the Polly mining company is
now working it will take twenty years for
the miners to work half of the ground.
1t is not only with the Polly Mining COM
pany, but it is so with nearly all the orig-
nal locators on the Inlet. They have i'm
mence stretches of good ground but en-
ploy only one or two men to help them
work it.
"There is no denying the fact that there
is good ground on the Inlet. The Polly
Minimizing company has cleanup every
evening and am personally acquainted
with the fact that with only their small
force of men they are taking out from 800
to 1000 dollars day. The company has
received and declined many offers from
a day for the privilege of soraping the bed
rock after the company employees get
through with it. The Polly Mining COM
pany is dumping talings upon ground that
will pay two ounces per day." 49,. -.
The largest nugget found this season on
the Inlet was found on the Polly Mining
company's ground. 1t was worth about
$40. Quite number of smaller nuggets

on QlITerenC claims.
There are not more than 100 men work.
ing on good paying ground. The general
opinion is that if the claims were divided
up properly there would be plenty of work
for at least 1000 miners.
There is some good ground that might
be proftably worked by the hydraulic
process, The season, however, is short;
the lumber is poor quality of American
spruce and it has to be whip-slWed which
makes it very expensive.
There is no one on main Six Mile creek
taking out anything like fair wages.
There will be $50 or 200 men winter at
Sunrise city this year. They are mostly
men who own good claims and who will
put in all their time until the snow and
ice stops them and then it will be too late
for them to come out this season.
The opinion is expressed by number
of returning Inlet prospectors that the coun-
try several hundred miles to the northeast
of the Inlet will prove to be great gold
country. The captain of the Perry intends
putting on little stern-Wheel steamer next
year to run up the Souchitney and Kanik
rivers. This arrangement if carried out,
will make it much easier for prospeotors
who may next year 60 into the country to
the northeast. The little steamer will
probably run up the Souchitney about 200
miles and then up the Kanik about I25
miles. From there it will be easy travel
ing on up to the head waters. There are
gravel banks all along both of these streams
and the gravel carries PEBBLES of iron-stone
which is pretty sure indication of the
presence at gold. Quite number of men
started up both of these streams this sea-
son, but no one who has SO far returned
succeeded in getting back into the interior
very far. Many people will undoubtedly
strike for that section of the country next
spring.
On several claims on Canyon creek min
ing by the Turning OUT process will be
Carried on during the coming winter.
Quite number of men will spend the
coming winter season on the Inlet engaged
in WhipsaWing lumber to be ready for the
spring.
tits said that the Polly Mining company
will not take less than 100000 for their
property on the Inlet.
Angus Mcdonald and James McClusky
are working for Sam Mills at the mouth
of Canyon creek. They will probably
return to Juneau upon the next boat

 THE ELECTION AND ITS LESSON.

The municipal election at Nogales, Arizona, has come and gone, and the result cannot fail to be gratifying to all those who have made their per manent homes here, and who believe in progress and good government.
 The rebuke to the men who through the past year have kicked up such a bobbery in Nogales, is complete and thorough. They have had an oppor- tunity of witnessing the light in which they are held by large majority of their fellow citizens, and they are in- yited by the voice of the people to subside and permit those who wish to do something for the town to go ahead and do it.
 The kickers have only themselves to thank for the result When they first commenced their fight on the council and endeavored to nullify it's ordn- ances and emasculate it's power, it was predicted in these columns that their course would draw to the support of the council men who had no use for the councilmen individually, but who would rally around that body as re- presentative of a principle. The pre- diction has been verified. Without the issues presented by the kickers many votes which individual members of the council received would have been cast for other men, and 1t was sentiment thus aroused which caused the nomination in body and re-elec- tion of the five councilmen. That sentiment was that the incorporation should be permitted to stand, and con- tinue the work contemplated by the law under which it was created. 1t was felt by many who want q new county that just the way to kill the
The oasis., 1896-04-11

movement for it's creation would be to take step backward with the mu- nicipality and dissolve that, which was the declared object of the leaders among the klckers. That feeling made warm supporters of the council among personal enemies of its members.
 It has never been denied that the territorial enactment under which the town governments are framed is par tial and one sided in levying license taxes. TIE OASIS, for one, cannot see why a printing office dry goods, hard ware or furniture store should be any more exempt from such license tax than saloon or grocery store; but the remedy was not in trying to overturn the town government, blocking the wheels of progress. The proper way would have been to get the legislature to remedy the law A light license tax on all lines of business would easily give the required revenue to support the town without being very burdensome to anyone. By the method taken the kickels have simply added to their own burdens, and those of all their fellow taxpayers as well. They have not only their own taxes to pay but what litigation has cost the town. It would have cost them, and all the rest of us, great deal less money to have submitted gracefully, paid the taxes levied upon them, and appealed to the legislature to more wisely and evenly distribute the burden.
 Another lesson of the election is that the sojourners who are here for temporary purpose only-the Ephra- inns and such ilk who intend to go elsewhere as soon as they can, shall sing small in the management Of town affairs. Those who have come to No- gales to build permanent homes are the men who will run the town,
