DOUBLE SERVICE NEXT SPRING.
Northern Pacific to Not Increase
Trains Until Then.

For several weeks past there has been
talk among Northern Pacific officials OF
the inauguration OF double transconti-
mental train service, such as has prevailed
Internationally during the past five or six
years. Extremely heavy business both
east and west-bound has caused the traffic
officials. at st. Paul to seriously consider
the matter OF placing awo overland trains
daily on the time carX For months past
the west-bound oyerlands have drawn as
high as fifteen and sixteen coaches daily
and east-hound II has been no infrequent
occurrence for the overland train to leave
here In two sections.
IL is now given out by the Northern Pa
chic that in all probability the inaugura-
ton OF a double trein service will not be
attempted this winter barring unusual cir
ming usually of the dull season In east
and west-bound passenger travel. A prom
inent Northern Pacific official said last
night that In ell probability the Inaugural
tion of the double service across the con-
unent would be deferred until next spring.
If present indications are 10 be con-
sidsred in the ma a;, he said, next
Seattle and ST. Paul. This service will be
installed for good a1d always in my opin-
ion. There is every reason to believe that
the transcon;inentas traffic next year Will
be as heavy or even heavier than during
1899. which has been record-breaker. The
passenger travel VIII be heavy on account
of the increasing. immigration to Washing
ton and other Western states. More than
that, the travel Incident to the Alaska
business VIII be particularly heavy accord
ing 10 our Information. owing to the dis
coveries Of new gold feds at Cape Nome
and Cape York.
IF the new service is established next
year. as I believe IL will be, Ii win remain.
Only the fact that business showed signs
OF falling Off with the beginning of Novem-
Der prevented the establishment OF the
double service week or more ago."

As preliminary to further steps to b
taken to secure a reformation In the min
ing laws OF the United States covering
Alaska. a convention OF prospectors from
the Cape Nome country yesterday signed
8 prayer to be sent to the United states
senator's and congressman from this state.
asking that legislation be enacted making
500 feet square the legal size of a mining
claim in Alaska, and forbidding locating
claims by power OF attorney.
The meeting was held at the Diller hotel
and was attended by nearly all the Cape
Nome prospectors in the city. and not only
they, but others not present until the mem-
ORAL was passed, signed 1t. This seems to
be the concerted sequel of the agitation
that has been going on among the people
OF the Nome country since the first ex-
element began. The alleged abuse OF the
power of attorney In the gold fields. re-
sulting In preventing hundreds of men
power of attorney, legal or Illegal. became
possessed of valuable property. in some
Instances covering miles In extent, as is
claimed in the official document.
There will be other steps taken to secure
the wished-for legislation, il the influence
Of the congressman from this state, which
it is hoped TO get, is not sufficient.
Following the preamble. the memorial
I'VE submit that $500 by 600 feet. now
allowed by United States mining laws. is
too much ground for one placer claim, and
no man should be allowed in one mining
district more than one claim of 500 feet
square: for II is evident. if Alaskan mines
are worth developing, this size OF claim
any candid miner will agree Is all-suffl-
cient.
The frequent evil however. pregnant
with i'll omen not only to the prospector.
the developer or business man. but to Alas
ka at large. is the outrageous custom al
lowed by the too-elastic law OF stalking,
sometimes without prospecting. and hold
ing mining claims by power of attorney.
This is so manifestly unjust. so plainly
wrong that the wonder is 1t has not long
since been forbidden. AS an instance in
point we refer to the late gold discoveries
at Cape Nome, where powers of attorney
hold miles of mining ground, staked by a
few individuals. mostly before being pros.
pected. and when hundreds OF well-inten-
toned miners arrived there were told to
keep hands off of large areas of country,
the injustice being enforced by the mill
tary.
These men. undergoing all the expense
and hardship OF the voyage to this for
bidding region. found a few men there who
had staked for miles for themselves and
also for those enjoying the comforts OF
civilization at home: and transportation
companies who have been reapinE gold
en- harvest in the North at once became the
most active competitors of their own pa
irons. the miners"
