RESULTS MAY COME.

Now that the senate investigating committee are sailing southward, it may not be amiss to indulge in few reflections upon their visit, and some of its possible results.
 In the first place, the committee is composed of distinguished gentlemen of more than ordinary abil- ity,- Indeed they take front rank among the great men of the United States senate and justly so for they are men of brains and of affairs Senator Dill hpgham, chairman i the committee and Senators Nelson and Buraham republicans Senator Pat terson IS democrat and therefore member of the minority. But it may be remarked, as far as, the needs of Alaska are concerned they were of one opn- ion on most questions. Senator Patterson undoubt- edly fayors giving Alaska territorial form of govern ment We cann9t say as much for Inc other gentle men of tho committee, for weare inclined to believe that they take the opposite view. They will, how ever, recommend that the territory be given repre- sentative in congress The entire committee we be- lieye are unit ip believing atchanges should be made in the mining laws as applied to this portion of Alaska Indeed as noted in.tAe last issue of this paper, Senator Patterson speaking for himself and his colleagues said that if the people of this section would formulate bill meeting their requirements in this particular i.would be passed by congress The Colorado senatog sand the senator from Minnesota were emphatic in; their dendniatons of system that enabled fe4 men to gobbie, up vast areas of ground and hold it itindefntely, with but small an npaexpenditure to the utter aetriment of the deye opment of the country. The statement was psde. to the committee by Judge Duboseth 20 OOO mining To- cations had been made in Nome district, and not more than 500 had ever been even scratched It was startling statement it is doubtless true andnay serve to the Interest of the people of this ec sion, to the actual conditions regarding the tieng up of large sections of gold bearing ground.

THE ERA OF DITCH BUILDING.

News of projected dtches or ditches already under
 construction is heard almost daily. There are a
 least half dozen such enterprises under way. Som, of them extensive, but each will open up goodl, section of ground. The fact that money is being in
 Vesed in ditch building augurs well for the develop rnent of this country. And every dollar that is in vested in such enterprises will yield substantial return In our opinion there is no safer investment to be found in Alaska That there are large sections of gold-bearng ground that need only water to pro- duce harvest of gold is conceded by every miner o, mining man that has made even an imperfect exam. ination of this region. The ground, however, needs not the reviyfying power of water but it needs the disintegrating process which water will bring Ditch building in Seward peninsula is just in its infancy. The fact that the Miocene Ditch company first lcponstrated the utility of diches has given an im- betds tostheir construction The number will mul. tpy each year until water is brought to every acre of goldbsaring ground. It will take many years to do this but it will be done.
 "I predict" said Senator Patterson, while here,
 that in less than twenty years Alaska will be pro- ducing more gold than all the rest of the United States" This was not "hot air" talk it was plain

The mail service between Nome and Council City is simply inade- quate. By this we mean that it is only a somi-monthly arrangement. Council City is an important point, and a weekly mail at least is need ed. A good deal of business IS transacted between Nome and Council merchants, yet if either a Nome or Council business man can get an answer to q letter in a month he is fortunate. Better mail facilities are an absolute ne. cessity.
