Douglas Island news., 1903-12-16

To those who have not kept pace with the progress of Alaskan geography it may be interesting to learn that the little settlement called York is situated in the western extremity of Seward peninsula. The latter is that mass which stretches out from the north western part of Alaska, within GOO miles of the Siberian coast. It is bounded on the north by the Arctic ocean; on the west by Bering strait; on the south by Boring sea and on the coast by the mainland of Alaska. York is at the mouth of Anikovik river and is the distributing point for this region. It is B miles west of Teller and 90miles from Nome.

Alaska Tin Mines.

4 recent Washington dispatch says that Mr. Arthur J. Collier, assistant geologist of the United States geologi, cal survey, has returned from the Arc tic region with an interesting story.
 This is the tale of tin. It has its be- ginning back in the summer of 1900, when Mir. Alfred II. Brooks, of the geo. logical survey, noted an occurrence of stream tin ;n the York region of Alaska. He was studying the gold placers of the field at the time and observed the presence of the tin in association with the gold. As this was a new locality for the mineral and as he realized that there was a possibility that it might be found in the region in commercial quantities, he at once wrote brief ac- count of the discovery, which was in. cluded in the volume of "Mineral Re sources" published by the geological survey in 1900, and in his general re- port on the Nome region. Additional information was published by Mir, Col Her in Professional Paper No. ?.
 The report undoubtedly stimulated activity on the part of prospectors, Some of the prospectors met Mir, Col Her in Teller soon after the latter had arrived in that neighborhood to study the mineral resources of the peninsula for the government, They showed him their specimens. Most of them proved to be only shining crystals of tourma- line, but among the lot was one piece of mineral, perhaps an inch long, which had strayed into the collection from a locality regarded as of little economic importance. Examination showed this to be the coveted tin stone.
 When the blow pipe test actually pro- duced tin button great was the excite ment that followed. MT. Golfers faith in the indications was sufficient to. send him across the sea from Teller to York, on a tributary to York river now named Cassiterite creek. The ledge occurs in granite dyke between lime stone walls. The ca siterite, or tin oxide, is found disseminated through the rock in small particles. A group of claims was immediately staked by the lucky prospectors and steps taken to develop the property.

COaghing Spell Caased Death.

"Harry Duckwell, aged p years choked to death early yesterday morn, ing at his home, in the presence of his wife and child. He contracted a slight cold few days ago and paid but little attention to it. Yesterday morning he was seized with fit of coughing which continued for some time. His wife sent for physician, but before he could ar rive, another coughing spell came on and Duckweu died from suffocation.- St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Dec. 1, 1891.

Judge Wickersbam gave his opinion confirming the title of the Alaska Cop. per Company to the complete and un. disputed ownership of the Bonanza mines, back of Valdez, the key to the Copper river railway situation, Novem- ber2S. The decision undoubtedly means the building of the road, as the Havemeyers' are the financial packers of the victorious company. The Bo- nanza mines are valued at S17,00O,OOO, though this is just approximately, as estimates of their value can be made only from the surface indications. Senator Hepburn, of Idaho; Congress- man Cushman and Andrew F. Burleigh, formerly a receiver of the Northern Pacific Railway Company, represented the defeated plaintiffs in the big suit. The questions as to the titles of the properties arose through misunder- standing over grubstake rights.

Virtues of New Tax Law.

The virtue of the new tax law is shown
IN the fact that the total assessment of
the state of Oregon this year will reach
$l75,900, 900, compared with $l50,000,O00
Last year.
Until the new law was passed, and
which was framed by Senator Booth of
Lane county, the counties We'd with
each other in seeing which could re-
ducc its assessment lowest in order to
escape state taxes, until the states TO-
tai assessable properly was reduced
from $lG9, 100000 in 1898 to Sill, ,OO0, COO
in 1900
During the legislative session of 1901
the Booth bill was passed, which pro-
vides that state taxes shall be appor-
toned among the counties at a fixed
ratio. The beneficial results Of the new
law were seen at once when the assess
ment of 1891 was S141,OOO,OOO and in
1902 it had grown to $l4S.00O, coo, and
each county was paying its exact pro-
portion OF state taxes instead of some
counties, especially Multnomah, shirk-
ing payment of their rightful part in
support Of state government
The new tax law has been of more
benefit to the state than any other
measure passed by the legislature for
years.
BY degrees the taxable property OF
Oregon is reaching the figure it should,
Aud the state levy will decrease in pro.
