The Moore Wharf Company has begun
the work of replanking the whole OF its

made, will be one of the finest to be found
in any port on the Pacific Coast. 1t is

MINING AT SILVER BOW
Eastern Capital Is Ready for Invest
ment on Good Properties.

Col. n, R. SNYDER and Col. 6. O. Dar>
row, superintendents OF the Alaska Gold
Mining Company of Indiana properties at
Berners Bav and Silver Bow Basin respect
lively were passengers on the Cottage CITY.
Thew have spent the winter in the east, in
company with their wives and return to
take charge of the summer work of their
mines.
"A full crew of men will be put at work
in both mines at once" said Col. Snyder,
at Juneau, Tuesday. 1--WE will put in a
lot of new machinery al our Berners Bav
property this summer and thus greatly in
crease its out put. The same NAV be also
said of our Humboldt mine at Silver Bow
Bow Basin, of which Col. barrow is ST.
perintendent.
I'VE found it very easy to get capital for
the development of good Alaskan mining
properties. Of course, those having
money must have confidence in the pro-
moter and be reasonably certain as to the
value of the property. There is so much
doubtful property from all the best mining
regions Of the world being exploited that
bv sincere ard confident men, that the
proofs of value must be of the best before
the capital is forthcoming.
mining investors of the east have great
confidence In the future of Southeastern
Alaskan quartz fields. Thew are as conf
dent as we are that OUT country will be
one of the greatest gold producing sections
of tine world.

Has Given Up Retailing and Leased
His Broadway Store.

No sooner had John Kalem got back
from Seattle than he started to carry
ont his declared intention Of being a
wholesale dealer only. He found Seat
tie merchants not so badly disposed to-
ward his und, rtaking as they were
some months ago when they held that
no wholesaling ought to be permitted
in Alaska, and he made several good
business connections. Returning flush
ed with success he yesterday leased his
retail store to w. L. Green, the hard
ware merchant, who takes possession
June 10th.
BY that time his broken packages
will have been retailed at cheap rates
and he will be wholesaler only, from
his warehouse on the water front at the
entrance to Moore's wharf.
On Thursday, Mr.. Kalem leaves for
Dawson with four carloads of merchan-
disc, part of which goes by scow and
part by steamer. He hopes to make a
quick trip and bring hack many large

Labor is Alert.

The Western Federation of Miner,
in convention assembled at Denye,
adopted a set OF resolutions in which
militarism imperialism and colonialsm
after the plan proposed by Lord North
are condemned.
The acquisition OF colonists Other
than OF the Caucasian race is NATURAL,
and properly viewed by all laborine
men with alarm. 1t means coolit
competition under the flag.
Imperialism which seeks to govern
colonies and increases the power o.
the executive outside of the constitu-
ton is opposed as un-American and
lnimical tv the ms tuition OF free re-
public.
Militarism, the attendant evil of col.
onialism, means constantly increas-
ing army-itself an expense and a
menace to the liberties of the citizen.
American laborers generally take
tins view OF the new policies. No la
boring man who knows the signs OF the
times will support the policies of i'm
perialism and militarism this fall

Bascom Times.

This is really new district, though
at present included in that named
Bear Creek. 1t is situated l6 miles
from Rocky Bar, and on the upper
portion Of South Boise river. Quartz
discoveries are of recent date-the
first was made A years ago--in conse-
quence there has been, as yet no great
amount OF development, although
it may safely be said that the work &C
complished has had in every way graf
flying result. The first discovery here
was made by j. A. Nicholson, a
pioneer OF the county, and who fur
nished the data relating to tie new
camp. The formation is granite and
porphyry, and the ore is found both in
contacts and fissure veins. The veins
are small, average about IA inches but
the ore is rich, conservative estimate
giving the average at $40 per ton.
Many tests, proving this, have been
made, the ore being packed 10 the old
Trinity mill, 10 miles away. A great
many claims have been taken up, but,
with few exceptions, only assessments
have been dole. This year, however,
there will be general development.
considerable having already begun.
The camp has an abu ndance OF both
timber and water.
The Gold Coin, owned by ]. A.
Nicholson, has been under develop
ment all winter, shaft having been
sunk between 40 and so feet, with
good body OF first-class ore, of which
there is large quantity on the dump.
A mill OF 10 stamps was taken to this
property late last fall, which is now be.
ing set up and will soon be crushing.
The ore is free, being a rose quartz ia
assure. large number of operatives
have lately been added, the intention
being to henceforth push development.
The Climax, Kiondike, and poor
man claims have lately been acquired
by strong Spokane parties, who, in
March, made the last payment on the
purchase price, 1874 900. These are good
properties, and promise soon to be
made mines.
The Homestake, owned by Hugh
Riley and j. Edworthy, had develope-
ment started last fall by an en- cut
that disclosed more and better mineral
than had been Anticipated, which was
the incentive for the large work now
undertaken.
BoNAPARTE-This is another out
lying section of the Bear Creek district
being situated in the famous Democrat
Gulch, whose placers, in the early '70's,
gave fortune to many deserving pros
pector. Among these was "Uncle
Ben" Nordyke, who, as soon as the
placer excitements Of the inter-moun-
tain region had somewhat waned, re-
turned to the gulch where he had
rocked out more than $4,000, to
search for the source of all this wealth.
That he is successful is not strange, az
he had both experience in prospecting
and mining. The "Uncle Ben" is to-
day mine, and this year Mr.. Nordyke
will put b. more stamps in the mill, 10
being necessary to handle the ore,
which carries an average gold value of
$40 ton. The veins are assures
prominently cutting through the
granite formation, the matrix of the
ore being quartz. There is yet no
deep development in the camp, no
one being down futher than 100 feet.
1t is thoroughly good camp.-Idaho

How Many More?

The death of Il. T. Owens, the miner
who died at the hospital last week,
brings to light some more of the beau
ties OF Stunenherg's reign in the Occur
d'Alenes. From letters which were
found among Mr.. Owens effects it is
learned that he was incarcerated for
several months in Sinclair's bull pen:
For what? This is the question. Mr..
Owens was not m I'm Der OF the Miners
Union when he was arrested, and with
his partner was recent conner to the
Occur d'Alenes, arriving shortly prior
to the blowing up of the Bunker Hill
mill. Both he and his partner were
arrested and his partner is now serving
two-twenty months term at San
Quentin for alleged Interference with
the United States mail. Owen claimed
that his last illness was directly attri-
butable to hardships endured while in
the bull pen. Mr.. Owen was an Odd
Fellow, belonging at Meaderville,
Montana, and when his lodge
learned that he was imprisoned at
Wardner it took immediate step to Sc
cure his release, forwarding to the
authorities of Bro. Owens high char
acter as man and citizen. Bro.
Owens came to Silver City last winter :,
and joined the Miners Union after he
arrived here. This is one OF the cases
OF cruel and unjust imprisonment.
Out OF the hundreds incarcerated how
many more were held without cause
or just excuse?-The Owyhee Avail.

The Thousand Springs.

Sixteen miles above Bliss on the
tawny Snake river is the phenome-
non-Thousand Springs.
These are numerous springs
which flow out of the perpendicu-
lar cliff on stratum of rock 100
feet below the top of the canyon
wall and 1870 feet above the valley,
presenting very much the appear
ance of bridal veil. The volume
of water discharged by these springs
is immense, estimated by hydraulic
men at 1000 cubic feet per second
or 100000 miners inches, equiva-
lent to about one-third the flow of
Snake river at this point.
AT the foot of these falls is an is
land of seventy acres. These waters
divide into two parts, one flowing
east, the other west and emptying
into Snake river, thus form the is
land. The water ie Gear as crystal
and the place is veritable paradise
for the angler and the oarsman.
Those familiar with the history
OF the country say that the volume
OF water does not vary summer or
winter, and the temperature is uni
form. There is no finer spring wa
ter to be found anywhere.
Beginning with the rimrock there
are thousands of acres of rich land
sloping gently from the river and
easily irrigated
