VALDEZ, APRIL 10. 1902.
TIE ALASKA A PRosPECTOR REPRESENTATIVE is published PAPER. as represent

ative news paper of Alaska, with Valdez. the great copper country. and this section of our district in the foreground. We believe that newspaper should represent the views oi the people as well as those of its publishers. If an injustice is done the people by the government or its officials, hy corporations or individuals, it is the duty of the papers to take up these matters and by making them public, assist to certain extent in having them remedied. If public official is untrue to his trust or neglects his duty, it should be made known through the press and the matter brought to the attention of his su- pcri"rs as well as the people. If il steamship or railroad company or other public carrier acts unjustly with the public, the press should take the matter up and ventilate it. The knowledge that any unjust ar illegal act will be given publicity, often has a restraining effect on corporations. For this reason the PRGspnToR has not in the past, nor will it in the future, fail to expose any such acts that come to our mo- tice.
 We have not failed to mention anything that seemed to Us to be against the welfare of the com muniiy or the district at large. Last week we gave publicity to the fact that the wrecking of the Bertha Was due, as is believed by many of the passengers. to careless ness, and also that the collecting of salvage when the company should have paid it themselves, even if they were not legally compelled to d" -o. Was an injustice to all the shippers. We have heard no ar guments that would cause us to change our opinion. and that we were expr,,sing the opinion of the majority of the people of town will be proven by future developments. These things were not published through any ill feeling personally as there i- none. Many of the par tics concerned are personal friends Of tae publishers "i this paper, and We have mentioned these matters as d duty ;o l.e public and while we have p,'an,b.y made enemies by Ou. -,and in lEe mater, are still Of tie op.n on that We were right in taking the action we did.

 SPEAKING of the agricultural pos sibilitics of Alaska, the Portland Telegram says that crops can be raised at various places along the coast, hut not on the interior. We take exceptions to this statement There is better soil and larger areas of land capable of cultivation in the Copper river valley than can he found anywhere along the coast of Alaska from Nome to Juneau and the summer weather on the interior is much more favorabi, for agriculture than it is on the outer slope of the coast range.
 Trsr are importing cheap Jal labor into the Atlin country, and there are threats of an uprising ol the whites in consequence. It is To be hoped that the inhabitants of the Copper river section will never allow any of the cheap foreign la. l,or to be used here.

VETERAN ADMIRAL DEAD.
Thomas o. Selfridge, Sr., Oldest Living
Officer Of Ills Rank.

Boston, Oct. II. - Rear Admiral
Thomas o. Selfridge, Sr.. U. s. N, re-
tired, is dead at the Mclean asylum at
Waverly. He was probably the Oldest
living officer of that rank in any navy
in the world, and there is no ether
navy which had two admirals, father
and son, both retired. The elder ad-
miral was born in Massachusetts, and
was appointed to the navy from that
state on January l, 1918. The son,
Rear Admiral Thomas o. Seliridge,
was born February l6, 1885, and Joined
the navy at the age of 15. The second
eldest son is Commander James Russell
Selfridge, born July III, l849, and in
the navy since 1864.
When the civil war broke out Com.
mander Selfridge was too far advanced
in years to accept active duty ct sea,
and he was assigned as commandant Of
the Mare Island navy yard, 1S62.IS64,
and again in 1873. In the latter year
all retired officers were Withdrawn from
active service, and Admiral Selfridge
resided at Georgetown, s. c., but for
many years he paid annual visits to
San Francisco, where he had two sons
residing.

Miners do not Favor Proposition Of Goa
Operators Unfair, They Say.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. IS. = From q
thorough canvass Of the situation a. II
exists tonight there is every indication
that the new arbitration plan propoeSd
by the presidents Of the coal eompan.
les for ending the miners strike will
not be accepted In ita present form.
There ID division oi opinion among
the strikers, but there IA no doubt that
a majority feel that the offer to have
the president Of the United States
select an arbitration commission along
the lines suggested BY the operators Is
not fair, and that It unduly Iimits the
board. The miners, II Is safe to say,
will abide by the advice Of their ma
tional president, in whose judgment
they have the utmost confidence.
President Mitchell declines TO say
how he personally looks upon the prop
osition, but tonight he gave TO the press
the following statement:
81 fully appreciate with what anxiety
the people Of our country are awaiting
the end Of the coal strike. The coal
operators have not addressed the Min.
ers' union, or its officers, in making
their public statement. II ie therefore
impossible for me to state the attitude
OF the miners at this time. ] am now,
as / have always been, deeply solicitous
OF the interests Of the public and the
Welfare of the mineworkers who haTs
been on strike for the past five monthe.
A formal statement defining Of position
and intentions will be issued Just as
soon as we are In possession Of the full
meaning OF the proposition of the
operators.
The rank and file OF the miners view
the new proposition in different lights.
Those who are opposed to accepting the
new offer look upon the operators lat
est move as counter proposition to
Mr.. Mitchell offer to arbitrate made in
the temporary White House at WASH
ington. They compare the two offers
and pick out what they all agree to be
many flaws.
A great many Of the strikers think
the proposition should be accepted, and
that the miners should trust to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to do the best he can
under the conditions laid down by the
coal-road presidents.
There is still third view held by
and that is TO refuse to accept
the plan proposed and make counter
proposition, embodying some Of the
suggestions contained in the operators
offer. One proposition suggested Is
that the operators, the miners and the
president each select number Of men
to act as q board. This was mentioned
by President Mitchell, but he would
make no comment on it.

Spokane Man Transferred from Chile at q

Spokane Man Transferred from Chile at a
Loss Of $500 In Salary.
Washington, Oct. 16.-Henry L.
Wilson, of Spokane, minister to Chile,
has secured q European mission, but at
9 great sacrifice Of salary. He gets a
similar post in Greece at &c, 300 year,
while his present position pays slO,-
600. This could not have been brought
about had not the minister to
Greece kindly consented to retire, In
order to make places for several people.
Minister Francis was not particular
about serving longer in Greece, and
was willing to get out of the way in
order to promote John B. Jackson, now
first secretary of the embassy at Berlin.
The pressure OF Wilson's friends to get
him place in Europe, and the induce
ment to jackson to secure the Chilean
mission, which is worth So, 500 more
than that of Greece, brought about the
change. Again, the Chilean mission
has always been considered more inn
portant than Greece, and Wilson's 8
change, although brought about by
great pressure, is not considered pro-
motion.

MUTINY ON 4 SHIP.
MurderOus Plan to Secure $4,000 and

Wreck the Vessel.
New York, Oct. l5. - The little
steamer Dos Hermanos was sent ont on
a cruise among come Of the southern
islands by trading firm few days be-
fore the transport Sherman left Manila,
says dispatch from San Francisco.
The steamer reached virac and an
chored in the harbor there. Officers
and the few passengers on board were al
dinner in the cabin when about 80 ol
the crew, led by the boatswain, rushed
down the gangway armed with knives
hatcheta and clubs, and demanded the
money that was on the vessel. The
officers were caught unarmed. The two
women passengers fed to their rooms.
The captain and men passengers gave
the mutineers battle.
The Dos Hermanoa was anchored
close to the shore and not far away
from the constabulary barracks. The
noise of the fight was heard at the bar
racks and officers put out to the vessel.
They succeeded in boarding after a
desperate struggle with the mutineers,
several of whom were shot and killed.
The others, numbering "a, we're arrest
ed, charged with mutiny and piracy.
1t is supposed the plan Of the mutt
neers was to kill all the officers, run
away with the steamer, take the
SIS, 900 which was aboard and then
wreck the shin and declare all were
lost except themselves.
