Building Trades Contracts.

Denver has suffered % moch from
strikes that every possible means
shosld be employed to prevent = re-
newal OF trouble in the building
trAdes Tue prosperity aud progress
of the city are intimately connected
with the continued operation of these
trades. and both employers aud en-
ployes should recognize that Denver
has reached . point where it will not
stand much more interruption to its
business.
In Approachi ig the consideration Of
this subject both employers and en-
polyes should recognize the urgent
Importance of avoiding strikes and
lock outs. The city suffered last year
from the strike which threatened at
one time to involve all forms OF
labor. and since then the whole state.
and particularly this city. has suffered
through strikes IN different metallif-
erous and coal camps.
The Citizens Alliance should rec
ognize this situation, and so should
all the labor organizations included
within the building trades. Extre-
mists should not be allowed to guide
or other wise determine the course to
be pursued. Common sense and mod.
GRAFTON should prevail in all delibera-
tions on this important matter.
One thing especially which the
labor organizations she uld consider is
the right of an employer to continue
his work regardless of what other
employers may do or how serious any
disagreement between them and their
employers may be. One of the great.
est sources of injury and injustice con-
nected with labor strikes is that EN-.
ployers against whom Individually
there is no complaint and who in
every respect are Innocent, are often
involved in disputes over which they
bAec Absolutely no control.
A strike would not be 40 serious q
thing for the community as q whole il
it should be confined to the employers
directly involved The business men
of the city might in that case con-
tinue. But when all employers and
all employees in q certain trade are in
volved. whether innocent or not. the
entire community suffers, and great
wrong is done to people who are in
no way responsible or to blame

MINING IN ALAsKA.
Salt Laker Back from Copper Mountain
After a Thrilling Experience

e. j. Oberg. who for the past yenr
has been experimenting the construc-
ton Of a big shelter IN the Copper
Mountain district IN southeastern Alas
ka, returned home last night, after a
series OF experiences not looked for
when he went away
In his native land Nh Obcrg followed
marine engineering Tor many years, but
II remained f0r the high seas sklrtlng
America TO furnish the most thrilling
experience OF his whole life This came
on his departure for Alaska nearly a
year ago II viii be remembered that
about that time news was received OF a
terrible gale on the Pacific coast, a
gale which carried death and destruc.
lion IN It's wake and resulted IN the
wrecking OF the steamer Clallam, which
went down with a souls on board. For
tunately Mr. Oberg was not on this
boat but he took passage on the Fall
lon, which left only an hour later and
passed through the fury OF the storm
referred TO-. Coming back on the same
boat he had a similar experience, the
sea being 70 high that It swept the
deck house and part Of the cargo OF the
boat In the same storm were the Hum
boldt and Cottage City, but all wealth
cred the glle and arrived safely IN port,
although some time behind schedule.
The storms occurred IN what Is known
az queen Charlotte sound and welu
the worst that the oldest mariners had
encountered In many years.
MIR Oberg says mining In Alaska IL
quite active, especially I'm the district
above mentioned. The smelter referred
to Is being built by the Alaska Copper
company which has n large area Of
ground producing ore carrying values
averaging 10 per cent copper $40 In gold
and some silver Mining Is being car
rled on along the hillside and the ore Ia
conveyed to the smeltor by means Of
an aerial tramway. The plant has
not been started up, but will be as soon
as the mine has been properly gone
into. II has a capacity OF $50 tons daily
aud cost IN the neighborhood OF $4,000
The company Is composed Of eastern
capitalists, who are sparing no means
TO make the property the biggest thing
IN that locality.
Alaska. says Mr.. Oberg, Is a country
OF much moisture and many fish. Trav-
eli to Klondike Is still heavy, the pill
grims going TO Tannaua instead OF
Dawson where many rich claims have
been opened up Copper Mountain the
scene OF Mr.. Oberg's activity, is located
on Prince Of wales island and lies coo
miles north OF Seattle.

Some ore OF wonderful richness was
brought 10 town Monday night by a
cattleman, named Beyin, who left yes

Tonopnh Sun The rock Is likely
looking p0rphyry that apparently Is
very rich, one streak through Il was a
yerltable mass OF coors Beyin says
he has a tj.foot ledge that assays $500
across the surface, and that from an
eight.lnch streak he got an assay Of
$4,000 per ton
There Is so much Of the romance
about Bevln's story that It Is very al
Turing lie came here as q cattlcman
and declares he knows nothing about
mining lie got In with a prospector
and they took a turn IN the hills with
the result Of finding ne rock which he
has, lie is apparently a truthful man
and those who have seen him are much
Inclined 10 believe every word Of his
story especially IN the light OF the Won
dtrful discoveries OF very similar
nature this summer at Goldheld.
Beyn refused to say where the rock
came from. lie remarked that he
would go TO Denver and lay his propo-
stion before Dave Moillt, who Is a min
Ing man and has the money and ex.
perlence TO handle mines.
Several who saw the rock say 1t looks
very much like that at Gold Crater As
