1t is reported that the organiza-
Z. tinn of an English syndicate is
: perfecting whereby the Forest
Queen properties are to be suppli-
ed with a half million dollars cap
ital with which to carry on opera
tons on these great properties.
This move is in the proper direction
to make a big producer and Il div.
idend paying proposition out of this
property which has already record
ed the shipment of over a million
dollars worth of ore from surface
workings with crude machinery
and appliances.
M'd-rn methods and improved
mills bring about better and quick
er results than heretofore, and show
big profits where losses were met
with in the years past. Thousands
of dollars have gone down stream
in tailings or lie as waste in the
dumps of many such properties,
many of this character are now be-
ing sought and gobbled up by the
knowing investor or his agent.
The knowledge of the actual facts
and conditions obtained on the
Forest Queen group of mines was
only needed to the enlistment of
capital for this enterprise. In our
opinion rarer opportunities do not
often appear than is found here in
this famous old group of Forest
Queen mines.

Resolutions.

The following resolutions were adopt ed by Treadwell Camp No. 14, A. B., upon the death of Robert A. Friedrich.
 Whereas, Death has visited our Camp, and by the immutable degree of the Su- preme Chief, brother General Robert A. Friedrich has been called to the Camp beyond;
 Whereas, Our brother, whose life exemplified the teachings of our Brotherhood, and taught that charac- ter is better than wealth, and who al ways stood up against error and wrong; always was in the channel of reform, and so lived that men and brothers whom he came in contact with were lifted into better life by his character and example;
 Whereas, He always remembered the claims of cultivated manhood, and labored to build a character worthy of his position and commensurate with it's demand, and believed that noble men are the columns upon which rests se- curely the temple of our free institu- tions;
 Whereas, He always knew the value of brother, and realized the full sig nificance of the words, sorrowed with the sorrowing and rejoiced with those who rejoiced, and lived the doctrine: "As you do unto others, so shall it be done unto you;"
 Whereas, Brother Friedrich is the first mem Der of our Camp to "mush" over the Last Pass into that vast in- terior, where we trust that life of noble thought and a record of noble deeds will give his spirit one glorious day of everlasting Divine sunshine, and where the rain bow will never fade. Therefore, be it
 Resolved, that in the death of General Robert A. Friedrich, the Arctic Brother hood has lost one of it's best and bright est brothers; one ever amiable, kind, true and generous; one whose friend ship was helpful and pure, one ever ready to help carry the load of weary brother on the Trail of Life.
 Resolved, That Alaska has lost a distinguished citizen of integrity and honor; manly man, who lived in an atmosphere of lofty aspirations.
 Resolved, That we tender to bis rel atives our heartfelt sympathy in their great bereavement.
 Resolved, That copy of these reso- lutions be spread upon our record book, one given to the press, and one for. warded to the relatives of our deceased brother.

Whipped In.

While the Alaskan cannot wholly en- dorse all of the ideas of the Douglas Island News its editorials contain much that evinces change of heart and mind. It is now quite averse to existing con- ditions in Alaska and says so very plainly. The people of Alaska will be whipped into unison in spite of present dissentions. Conditions will never be bearable until the people can take a hand in shaping their own destinies.- Skagway Alaskan.

According to the Ketchikan Journal, the people of that town have been swim dled plenty. "Electric light plant and wires, without current; water reser- voir and mains, but no water. How the people of Ketchikan would just like to meet and have a little conversation with the man who promised so much and performed so little," says the Journal. We understand that the company that obtained the franchise from the city of Ketchikan is or was composed of Messrs. Brown, Hills and Tompkins. Go after lem.

Judicial Christianity.

Judge Brown gave Douglas for court commissioner the ablest minister of the gospel in Alaska, and those who heard Judge Browns sermon yesterday at the Treadwell say that His Honor will easily take second place. Verify, verify, Judge Brown came to Alaska to save the unrighteous, and has made a bold attack with bis ablest general on the stronghold of the enemy. There is one good thing about judicial christian ity. If you can't coax lem to come to Christ you can have the marshal lead lem up to the mourners bench at so much per head. It saves the trouble of "passin' round the hat," you know Still that old adage, "A man convinced against his will is of the same opinion still" is just as true as ever.-Miner.

The Skagway Alaskan very pertinent ly remarks that there is naught but plain reason in the resolutions of the Alaska Bar Association relative to the taking of Alaskan appeals to Seattle in- stead of San Francisco. There is a United States court at Seattle and the only trouble or expense that will be re- quired to save Alaskan itigants the time and expense of travelling about twice as far as it is necessary for the trial of their appeals, is the unwinding of little red tape in the department of justice.

Upon arriving at Valdez, Judge James Wickersham of the US. District Court, was accorded a most royal welcome by the citizens of that town. He is vest ern man, live, energetic and up to date, and although some of his theories as to the needs of Alaska may be wrong, yet he has plainly shown that he takes more interest in this country than simply to draw his salary. In the posi- tion which he occupies he can do much to benefit the District, and can win the esteem and admiration of all-and Judge Wickersham has started out on the right track.

The Nome city council has prepared bill amending that part of the Alaska code relating to incorporated towns and the powers of the couucil, and has sent U. $. Prosecuting Attorney Grigsby to Washington to secure its passage. The bill provides that the law as it now exists be repealed and the one drawn up in Nome substituted. Judging from this bill Nome city is the only place on the map. It gives the council the power to "improve Snake River" and refers in many ways to purely local affairs Yet if the bill is passed other Alaskan towns will be governed entirely by it. Truly there will be a mixup in Washington this winter oyer Alaskan legislation Ex.

in which they operate. The vital in
jury to the game of this country is
not done by the man who goes out oc-
casionally and kills deer or catches
trout for his own use, though the
act does take place during the closed
season. Neither do the hunter who
come up into this country once a year
at an enormous expense, compared
with the game they get, do any mater

Hunters say there is no question that
one provision Of the game law is in
need of amendment. 1t is the one
relating to non-residents. There are
many scores Of huntsmen in the woods
who are not residents of Michigan. yet
the numebr of nonresident licenses
issued is exceedingly small. In the
vast majority of cases the only licenses
taken ont are of the 75-cent, resident
kind, procured through friends living
within the state. 1t is argued that the
only way to prevent this abuse is to
compel all hunters, resident and non
resident. to get licenses in the counties
in which they propose to hunt, aud to

republican or democrat will have to
stand for supremacy of law, against
graft of all kinds. and probably also

gulating the affairs of corporations.
AS far as the latter is concerned it is
clear that the principle is not merely
sound but furnishes the basis Of the
most efficient plan for dealing with
the so-called trust question. OF course,
President Roosevelt is at this moment
the most conspicuous exemplsI OF
these three principles and his election

how the successful candidate can be a

vital matters Ii will be interesting
to note from time to time the develop

made against the president We ex-
pect it to be very largely conducted on
the lines of using such business de-
preston as mares its appearance tc
persuade people that total change

are intended eventually to hasten the
change is denied by corporation
officials. They state that the econ
