THE YORK TIN LEDGES.

Seward peninsula will become the greatest tin producer that the world has known. This statement may seem extravagant to those unacquainted with the facts That placer stream tin existed in con- siderable quantities has been known for the past three years. But it remained for tin lodges tin in place, to be discovered. This has been done, as fully detailed in the last issue of this paper. That tin in place exists has been amply demonstrated. The discovery made recently in York district is no doubt bona fide, and we believe that development work will fully prove this statement Tie country around Cape York and on the other side of the Arctic slope, called, presents attractive field to the prospector. The abundance of stream tin seems to establish the fact that big lodges will be found in that section. If this be so, it may be reasonably urged that the country is worthy of exploitation Tin is a valuable mineral and there seems to be reasonable guarantee to the prospecor that his efforts may e rewarded in his search for the mineral if they le properly directed

When one takes into consideration the late spring and the consequent late period at which mining opo rations started up it will be found that the gold out put this year will reach satisfactory figure. There is every reason to be satisfied. Many claims have yielded for beyond expectations, and promising new ground has been exploited for the first time. The outputs of the pioneer mining companies Pio reer and the Wild Goosewll, we believe, be greater than ever before The era of ditch building has fair ly begun, and among the new districts that promise to equal if not distance, the older mining districts are the Shunnak and the Inmachuk. The latter promises to be an Eldorado Ophir.

THE DISTRICT AND BRADYISM.

Governor Brady>is obstructionist. He is pioneer resident of the district, however, and ordi
 narily his views upon Alaska and conditions prevail
 ngtherein should be entitled to some weight. But events of recent years have shown that Gov Brady is too circumscribed in his views to meet the require
 ments of young, growing and progressive territory
 Governor Brady seems to be living in the past and his views and standards of judgment belong to other days Twenty-Five or fifteen or ten years ago the missionary clement was predominant they ruled and there were few to say them nay. But Alaska has passed out of and beyond missionary surveillance or control. The Bradys and Jacksons must either change their habits and modes of thought or get out of the way. Probably the people who now comprise the population of Alaska might prefer to see them relegated to the But in justice to Gov. Brady
 it must be said that he has proved himself loyal to Alaska in many ways, when these ways did not ob- struct the Brady point of view. The mistake that Gov. Brady has made, in opinion is in being too provincial. He cannot dvsst himself of his environ uent; he would, if we to judge him by his public utterances. prefer to Alaska governed" by him. self alone rather than admit that the people are en- titled to sefgovernment. In other words he prefers to see Alaska made preserve for himself, with the privilege vouchsafed to him of being the "whole thing in the district and at Washington D. C. Gov Brady shows by his acts that he has outlived his usefulness as the districts executive. He has chosen

TIT FOR TAT.

"The Ringling circus, which is to be in the city tomorrow. in order to avoid paying the $500 license inn posed by the city, has selected ground at the head of the bay, just outside of the city limits. Last night, the city council, under sus- pension of the rules, passed an or dinance prohibiting the circus from parading upon the streets of the city, the ordinance stipulating that no circus or exhibition shall be al- lowed to parade on the streets un- less 1t has license to show in the city. ."-Tacoma Ledger.
 Good for Tacoma. The idea that a circus would expect to take thous- ands of dollars out of a city and then object to paying $500 for a license But speaking of circus we wonder what it looks like We have q faint recollection o something that used to pass under the name of Ringling's circus.

When the season of 1903 is end ed it will be found that for dry, cold, backward season Seward pc ninsula has done pretty we'll. A single nugget of 1S2.55 ounces, we rather suspect, breaks the record. The season was late, and the out lying country really has had only a few days of rain, but even at that the output of gold for the season will be larger than last year, and next years output will probably double this years. Seward penin-
 sula is certainly.doing very well.

RED.TAPE AND POLITICS.

Northwestern Alaska, because of it's geograr rhcal position and governmental redtape and politics, will not be represented at the St. Louis Exposition next year, unless private citizens shoulder the whole ex- pense. brawl over the appointment of a commis- sioner for Alaska is cause the strife growing out of the appointment of democrat 10 tho position is another The net result is that what exhibits are made will be from Southeastern Alaska, and thus the exhibit to be made will brace only the of a portion of the district There will, no doubt, be made the usual exhibition of Alaska natives curos and few furs and these will be looked upon the sole products of the territory. It's magnificent min eral fisheries and other resources will not be thor oughly represented. Not the slightest attempt has been mads to secure exhibition from Seward pe- ninsua. Private individuals may show nuggets and gold dust, but if they do the government need not be thanked, or even the people a whole, for they like the government, seem to be afflicted with the indifference microbe.
