Answers Co the circular let ter sent out by the chairman are com ing m slowly With few exceptions the responses show a general desire on the part oi the press and civic bod ics of Alaska that the work tending towards obtaining from congress the right of territorial government, be pushed vigorously.
 The question oi mining and pros pccting was discussed at length and it was resolved to create a committee on mining. for the purpose of foster ing as much as possible the main in- dustry of the country. Several mem bcrs expressed the belief that prospcc- tors should be encouraged by every means possible and even given fnan- cial assistance, m cases where it might be needed by proSpectors who could show in good faith that they were on the track of a tangible proposition This committee. when appointed. will gather statistics relative to the min cral resources of the country and will use its best cndeavor Co bring th cown.
