MINES and MINING :==::- IN THE NORTHWEST

so large that can see no possible rea-
son why they shauld not be Immensely
profitable. The country is already at
tracing general attention and prices of
property are going skyward. Prospectors
are asking fabulous prices for undevel-
oped Mines and in this way l fear they
will greatly retaard the progress OF de-
velopment.
THE Alaska Development company has
spent several hundred thousand dollars
in develop ment work there. Senator John
P. Jones. Senator Pettigrew and a num-
Der of other very prominent men are in
teces.ed in this company and are SAN
guine of success.
Yes, Alaska's future lies in her quartz
mines. She has had. and still has for
that matter, some great placer mines. but
placer mines are necessarily short Aved,
and while large fortunes have been made
from these. the real stability of the coun-
try is in it's practically ineXhaustible
bodies of copper and gold producing
quartz.
III. L. Frank and Sam slovenian of
Butte and Patrick Clark and Major
King sbury of Spokane, are among some
of the prominent western mining men
who are becoming extensively interested
in the mines of the Prince Of Wales IS
land.
Zone of the peculiar things I noticed on
my trip was at the city of ketchikan,
where the Sea Level mine is located.

The Newtown bee., 1901-10-04

One of the most important questions in town management will be brought before. the voters, next Monday. at the annual town meeting for discussion and disposal. to wit: the working of the highways.
 In accordance with the vote pass ed at the let the roads by contract, to the lOwestrepon- sible bidders and at saving in expense over theIast seasons working, which was done by the town under the supervision of the select men. The result of the present contract sys- tenn, aside from the saving in expense, have not been wholly satisfactory. There is an unwritten law observed by past generations road working may be done. subject to conven- fence. on or before the tenth day of Juno and September and the travelling public must get along as best they can the remainder of the time. That this law has been observed by
 many of our contractors is only tOOapparenti in the present condition of many of our roads
 The burning question is how to bring about
 better results in road working. Leaving out of the discussion state ald and working, we need of course to unavoidable weather conditions No system should be adopted that does not include gradual permanent improvement of
 our roads in the way of draining and filling
 mud holes. removing rocks, grading, etc. In working: can be best carried out under the | management of two tcompetent road super | visOrs, one for each voting district, appointed bysand responsible to the selectmeh for faith full performance of their dutieS and whose duties shall be to employ two gangs of men | condition every month in the year. and keep | ing within the appropriation, make some per | manent road improvement as outlined above.
