The curtain has been Tung down on
the last act, and II now only remains
to say a few words about those who
have played their part in the drama.
To some must be appOrtioned good.
TO Others evil. as they have merited re-
ward or punishment.

WHAT ALASKA ASKS.

Among ths questions upon which the trans-Mis- sissppi congress is invited to express opinion at the session in this city is the granting of full terri torrial government for Alaska. fair share of the delegates 10 the congress have had experience under territorial government, and know preci.e V what it is and how it is administered. They have that of the Alaskans who present at the con- gress all Gov. Brady favor the establishment of
 territorial government for the district; and if they inquire further into the matter, they will find that this subject the people of Alaska particularly those of Southeastern Alaska, are divided in substantially identical proportion.
 There at the present time not less than 50,000 white people justly entitled to be called permanent residents of Alaska. This is a larger number of white people than was in any territory of the United States at the time of the passage by congress of act organizing the territory. As Western men, the mem- bers of the congress do not have to be told that the men who migrate to new territory, such as Alaska, with view. to developing the resources of the coun try rule will compare favoraby in intelligence, in enterprise and in capacity for sefgovernmen with like number of people in any community on earth. As Western men, they able to realize further the hopessness of securing from congress intelligent egs lation matters purely local to Western territory or state. Yet under existing conditions, congress alone can legislate the pettest local subject for Alaska,
 Alaska is entitled to territorial government. There are no more difficulties in administering such government in Alaska than were presented at the time of organizing each of the older territories The Alssl1ans should surely be permitted to have local legislature and at least the measure of home rule provided under the territorial system.
 The indorsement by the trans Mississippi congress of the proposition to give Alaska territorial govern ment would have great weight with congress- and it sincerely to be hoped that the congress may do this much toward forwarding the interests of the great northern territory.
 The above editorial from the P. I. shows that Seattls's heart is in the right place As Major J. F. A. Strong wrote the entire Alaskan delegation of the trans Mississippi congress with the single exception pof Gov Brady are in favor of the territorial govern ment for Alaska and that surely will count in Wash ingon. It looks if the congress will do Alaska much-good as any state that was represented.

OUR LOCAL PROBLEMS.

The two great practical problems of Alaska are those of water and of transportation. THE NUGGET has been emphasizing the importance of the water problem and showing some of the plans that have been formed and the work that is being done to meet this problem. Every practical improvement that helps solve the question of large supply of water for mining is direct help to every mining interest of Seward peninsula The other problem, of equal importance, is that of transportation. Without some method of fairly cheap transportation much low grade ground not be wor4ce5 Whenever expenses est up all the profits work ha. to be postponed That is the difficulty with many propositions now before the country. They all right but too expensive to work and rule the largest single item of expense is that of transportation. With proper transporta tion facilities and living rates for that service, the whole Seward peninsula will be benefited. THE NUG- eI gives account of one solution of this matter in the North Star Line the Solomon River and Council City railroad It ie wei. known that one of the rich est sections of Seward peninsula is that between ; Council end Nome and Council and Solomon. Some of the best claims, like the Ophir, the Big HurraE and scores of others in that region. Thousands of acres of undeveloped quartz and placer propos- tons many of them fully as good, in the same region. With railroad running from Solomon and another planned from Nome going into that country, there be question but that the transportation problem for a part of Seward peninsula is on tho road 10 settlement These gigantic undertakings will be the making of great empire. There scores of good quartz propositions that require machinery, buildings, drawers, engines and boilers. besides the supplies, that scarcely be opened up without . railroad, and to successfully yswork them railroad is almost necessity. Every miner who get onto a train and go to the markets and buy supplies and have them delivered quickly will be greatly benefited >by the pew road THE NUGGET predicts that with direct communication next season between Nome, Solomon and Council City, Seward peninsula will do ,1nore business than ever before. New claims will be opened and worked machinery put in place, and in every way the country ~Eill be benefited It an added feature that pleased representative of THE NUGGET to be able to the ties and the railroad iron-qua nttes of itin fact enough easily to finish fthe fifty miles of road between Solomon and Council City. A railroad on paper is thing but road with thousands of ties the ground and thousands more being unloaded and with supplies enough on hand and railroad iron enough in sight to keep a force busy for year, altogether different matter 1t pleased THE NUGGET representative to with his eyes the road and equipment of solid and substan tial character that it is credit to Alaska and gives promise of many substantial improvements in the future.

A DANGEROUS MAN.

The Mining Review, of Salt Lake City, Utah, strikes a true note when it says that the emotional man is not good mining man, and not only is he not good mining man, but dangerous man to himself to others and to mining properties. The Review says:
 ''We read about emotional mon, emotional women, and of people who do all kinds of freak things under the Inspiration of sudden impulses In almost every line of business find men who are emotional and these, generally, make sad wreck of their business In mining, too, we find the emotional man, and he is usually an enthusi ast who flies of the handle and who carries on his mining operations in manner that either horrihes or amuses tho cold booded thinking, methodical mining man."
 The Review then expresses the wish that there were fewer of this variety engaged in mining being as it very correctly says, "a dangerous element in any mining camp dangerous because they are honest in their intentions and sincere in their beliefs" That is admirably stating the The enthusiast, and he is always an emotional being is rarely dishonest person in the that he seeks to deceive you, but just because of that he is the more dangerous and particularly in regard to mining property in which he may be interested"
 The Mining Review is probably correct The man who honestly sees six or eight claims where there is but one, and millions where there are but deceives himself and others. The fact that his intention is not half bad makes no differ ence. The men of cool, careful conservatism who try to hold themselves within the bounds of truth after they have used good judgment in sizing up the situation, the best friends of mining camp. Hot air peddlers always Q nuisance and injury no matter how gooI their intentions may be. Alaska has been more injured by the well-meaning hot air peddler than by any othe, class of men. l
