THE CANADIANS.

Forty Have Located Claims in the Porcupine
 Country. Their Location Notices Recorded.
 While at Juneau last week we were pleased to meet Judge Malcolm, the United States Commissioner for that city. and he informed the writer that no less than forty Canadians had located claims in the Porcupine Coun- try. and that the notices had been re corded in the records of his office. How many of these are from British Columbia we do not Know, but there Is one thing we are reasonably certain of, and that iS. that every mothers son from there who has taken claim i'll United States territory should be fired out of the country: \ people so de void of the sense of shame and justice as to pass all ey post factO law for the purpose of defrauding Americans out of their claims already located, and for the right of entry to which, a license fee was demanded and accept ed. should not be permitted to locate claims on American soil, and if the government so far forgets itself as to permit it the miners in that district should take the law in their own hands and drive them out.

The editor of the News recently in terviewed Mir. Kaufman, the president of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce, upon the much disuuted question of giving the Canadians a free port of en- try on Alaska soil. After numerous conversations involving profound thought and deep meditation, we-Mr, Kaufman and the editor-have conclud- ed tc offer the CanuckS the Tallu route which k by far the best of any leading into the Atlin district. We hope this generous offer, on our part, will not be declined and all we ask is for suttc- tent time in which to deliver the goods. We will give the Canadians three weeks and one day in which to make up their minds whethcro or not they will accept this proposition.

Dourlns City and Iuneau Their Future.


 Back of the city of Juneau there is a small stream that empties into the bay above the town. and heads way up in the mountains. The little valley along the stream varies from 100 to 800 yards in width. In the summer there is a good wagon road leading up this valley on which a team can easily haul good, big load. This valley is called the ba- sin and is some four or five miles in length. Some of the finest ore in all Alaska is found up the basin and there are numerous little stamp mills dis triEe.tcd along the way. Placer mining k also carried on in the summer. 1t i5 in this basin that Fred Nowel is driv- ing tunnel and getting ready to en- gage in placer mining on huge scale. Within one year the mining operations in the basin will be next in magnitude to Treadwen on Douglas Island. With $50 stamps pounding away on the ls- land and nearly as many more i'll the basin. which. added to the output of the placer mines, will certainly make Douglas City and Juneau two of the most prosperous and permanent towns to be found anywhere. There is no oc- casion for any business man in these two cities to ever take gloomy look at the future. If they can't prosper here they cant auy other place on earth.

ably Defeat Legislation this Session.
 Senator Carter recently tried to get consideration for the Alaska bill in the senate. He made a request for unani- nous consent for a night session to read the bill and stated that the inter ests of Alaska rendered it important that the bill should be passed this scs- sion. Senator Hoar stated that the bill could be passed, as the bill provid- ing for the Revised Statutes, was with out reading. This suggestion brought out objections from Hale, Gallinger and Bate, all of whom argued that such a proceeding would be bad precedent. Hale objected to the consideration of the bill, and refused to give his consent to the reading of the bill.
