As badly as we need railroad from Valdez to the interior, there are people in Valdez who will put every obstacle in the way of the railroad that is possible. This has been proven by the fact that a number at "placer claims'' have been filed over the survey of the pOad.

ARE WE BOOMERS?

WE have been accused of trying to boom this country and causing a rush. It is claimed that the re- ports of strikes published by us have been copied in the States and have been the means of increasing our population somewhat. If telling all the news of strikes that are made, and showing the oppor- tunities that exist here for men with cash, and also for men ylose sole capital is their muscle and brain is booming, then we plead guilty, and are proud of it. If we have been able to add in any way to the prospererity of the town and country, we are more than pleased. While it is our wish to publish everything that will show to our rapidly increasing circle of readers in the States, the great natural ad- vantages of this section, we will still use every precaution to keep from circulating any reports that are untrue and that will in the long run hurt the country. Our correspondents in the various min- ing camps of this section of Alaska are practical mining men, capable of judging as to the merits of finds that come under their observation, and any communications publi shed by us in regard to new strikes or news of established camps may be relied upon as being correct.

 THE Aurora Gold Mining Com pany must be added to the long list of swindling concerns that have invaded Cook inlet. That beauti- ful portion of Alaska has .had more than its share of these wildcat mining schemes, and hundreds of thousands of dollars have been squandered in that country. In some instances these companies were started in good faith, the pro- motors believing that they really had paying property, but in this case, it looks as though it was a premeditated swindle from the beginning. If there is one class of individuals who need to be dis couraged and prosecuted more than any other in Alaska, it is those who victimize innocent people in the States, by selling them wild cat mining property. There are enough legitimate and paying prop ositions in Alaska for people to in- vest their money in, without giving it to some of these fake concerns.
 TIE news from Slate creek is most encouraging and gratifying to the citizens of Valdez. Informa- tion received from most reliable sources states that the output this season from the claims which were the largest producers last year, will be increased from B to 90 per cent. Besides these there are sev- eral other claims now running, which were idle last year, or which were not worked to advantage. Most of the claim owners are prop erty holders here ia Valdes. a nd a large percentage of the money taken out at Slate will be spent in Val dez, in improving their property, purchasing outfits for next season, and in various other ways. This means increased activity in all lines of business. With the rail- road work being pushed forward and plenty of money in circula- tion, this fall and winter should see our town enjoying the greatest prosperity ever experienced here.
