THE ALASKA MINE
CHICAGO MEN ARE PLEASED
WITH IT
Local Stockholders Are Also,
Enthusiastic Over the
Prospects


Messrs. Cobb and McGill, who
were down last week with Mr.. Sui
livan to investivate the claims
made for the property by the local
people, have gone back home. They
were rlore than pleased with what
they saw, and it is not at all prob
able that in short time the COM
pany will be operating on big
scale. When these gentlemen
reach Chicago and relate that they
have seen the property and find
that all representations have been
modest as to what might have been
in the hands of boomers, their
friends can not help but agree
with them and help develop the
mine. OF course much develop
ment work has already been done,
but much more must be done to
warrant the erection Of d reduction
plant.
The local stockholders who re-
side in Congress and vicinity are
enthusiastic over the outlook. They
nearly all wish they had taken
more stock at the original intro
ductory price. This is case where
the mine and the management,
both under easy inspection of the
local people, and both must be
highly satisfactory or there would
not be so much local confidence
among local stockholders. There
is little doubt but that the price of
the stock will soon be advanced to
fifty cents per share.
Assays taken by the gentlemen
when they were here gave almost.

men are at work developing this
rich ore body and it is hoped that
they will find it continuous as they

they are working can not be beaten

uity. Success seems certain,

The Powers VIII Govern Macedonia Jointly
II Plans 90 Through.

London, Dec. 5.-Negotiations begun
yesterday by the powers may result in
an international administration for
Macedonia along the lines observed in
the present government of the Island of
Crete.
The Associated Press learns that in
order to prevent another Macedonian
uprising in the spring, attended by uI1-
spejakable horrors, and the danger of a
war between Turkey and Bulgaria as a
consequence, Russia and Austria have
proposed to the other powers that inn
mediate steps be taken to put into oper-
ation plan which in its general outline
resembles that now enforced in Crete.
This proposal is the result of the accept
ance in principle by the sultan three
days ago of the Russo-Austrian note
concerning reforms in Macedonia,
which was submitted to the porte after
the recent conference between Gar
Nicholas and Emperor Francis Joseph.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
President Roosevelt WIN ProbebIy Send Ills
Message to Congress Monday.

Washington, D. c. Dec. 5-The
president has put the final touches to
his message to be presented to the
long session of congress, which begins
Monday. Advance copies of the doe
,iment have been given to the press
and as usual the strictes. precautions
have been taken to prevent its becom-
ing public before its presentation to
the national legislative. body. In pre-
pairing the message the president con-
suited a number of senators and repre-
sentatives and among the leading
meinbersAof both houses the chief fea-
lures OF the message are already pret-
ty well known. Ss ss
1t is stated ON good authority that
the message will be the shortest the
president has ever written to regular
session. II is about one-third shorter
than the message of last year. which
was considerably shorter than the first
message, two years ago. The docu-
Inent will contain fewer words than
any message OF the presidents in a
number of years.
The message will discuss carefully
the isthnlian canal complications and
make recommendations in that regard.
1t will also take up the immigration
question and suggest greater restric-
tioi1s to the end that undesirable I'M
migrants may be excluded. The post
al scandal will be discussed, the lesson
to be drawn tferefrom pointed out,
and the officials Of the department. who
ferrcted out and provided against its
repetition will be praised.
The message is expected to advocate
the further enlargement Of the navy.
1t will not specify the number and
character OF warships which the presi-
dent believes should be authorized, as
he will refer for that to the recommen-
dations of Secretary Moody. The lat
ter will. 1t is understood, recommend
the construction Of at least three bat
tleships of as great tonnage, as heavily
art11ored and armed and. ofsas great
speed and coal capacity as any ever
authorized BY congress.
Comment4Will be made upon our
friendly relations with the world at
large. The Colombian imbroglio will
come IN tor mention and satisfaction
will bsse essed at the, settlement Of
the Alaskail boundary dispute. The
messaye rs also expected to discuss
the lxbor question, especially as re-
fers to gorverriment employees. 1t will
follow the precedent set BY the presi-
dent in his frst message and contain no
synopsis Of the reports Of the cabinet
officers. Of course, the Importance Of
currency legislation viii be urged; but
In regards to this and all other public
questions the message is expected to
be notably short and to the point.
