Mr.. BREVlG'S LONG BOW.

According to the Argus Leader, of Sioux
Falls, S. D., Rev. r. L. Brevig, superinten-
dent of the Teller reindeer station, was in
that city on March last In an interview
in the Argus Leader Mr.. Brevig stated that
the reindeer is considered one of the ''most
important factors in the development of
this country" but he neglected to state in
what way He did, however, allege that
the American miner was the greatest men,
ace to the reindeer, as the miner was in the
habit of shooting the animal on sight. In
order to boost the ''reindeer industry" in
this section, an industry, by the way, that
has proved profitable to few people, except
the missionaries, Mr.. Brevig goes out of his
way to state an untruth when he says that
the miners of this section of Alaska are a
menace to the reindeer. They are not, and
Mr.. Brevig knows it. The average miner
in Alaska is just as wabiding as is MIR.
Brevig, and would think as often as that
gentleman before shooting a reindeer on
sight"

vertical planes of the boundaries cOnstitut-
ing the limits of possession. The mineral
lands act now allows a locator 1900 feet
along the apex of the vein, the side lines of
the claim being 800 feet on either side of it,
giving him the right to follow the dip to
any depth outside of the surface side lines.
The principle of the apex location is correct,
because it gives the locator the full benefit
of his discovery and prevents others from
depriVing him of the just reward of his en-
terprise. Lode mining has been conducted
on the public lands by this rule of location
for over half century, and, while the
erratic course of the veins has given rise to
much contention and litigation, the judicial
interpretations are thorough and complete.
The Foster bill not only introduces a new
system of lode location, but it perpetuateS
the obnoxious proxy system of locating by
using the phrases or some other person in
his behalf, and or as agent for another, in
defining the rights and obligations of the
claim owner. Then, again, the condition of
retaining possession is made merely nomi-
nal. The monopoly of mineralized vein
bearing land is thus made easy.
but the most vicious provisions in the bill
are those relating to the relocation of mineral
claims which have been practically aban
doned, although not appearing of record
to be forfeited Section says: 1T shall
be unlawful for any person to locate min
eral claim over any ground covered by
prior location, the title of which appears
good of record, although no party may hold
lawful title to the same or be lawfully en-
titled to the same, but in all such cases the
party desiring to locate such ground shall
first bring an action in equity against the
party in whose name such prior location APP
pears OF record to remove the cloud from
the title And the location of a mineral
claim on ground believed to be claimed by a
prior locator, unless such prior location
appears of record to be forfeited, is made a
misdemeanor, punishable by fine of $500
or six months imprisonment or by both.
The procedure provided by the bill is, it
will be observed, a complete reversal of the
process now in force in cases of trespass.
If such a bill were to become law, it would
perpetuate the rich Nome monopolies in the
possession of their irregular holdings indef
ntely, for they could wear out, through
protracted litigation, any bona tide locator
pre-empting land which they hold by proxy
locations, and on which they have done no
work. The bill is, therefore, vicious in the
extreme, and should be killed.

VALUE OF ALASkA'S IMPORTS.

A statement of the value, in dollars, OF
all merchandise consigned to every port or
place in Alaska, as found upon the mani
tests of all vessels arriving in the district
in the year 1903, has recently been issued
by Collector of Customs Jarvis. Merchan-
disc consigned to places in Yukon territory,
and only passing through Alaska, is not in
cluded in the report. The report is an in
teresting one and it is very complete. 1t
shows that the total value of domestic mer-
chandse, included under the heads "coal,
lumber, hardware, provisions, liquors and
all Others" was as follows: To South
eastern Alaska, SO, 1869; to Southern
Alaska, 81 ,493, 402; to Boring sea (Which
includes this entire section, except St.
MichaeD, S3,641 1855; to ST. Michael and
Yukon river, $3.50, 449. The total value of
shipments is $4,000, POS. 1t will be seen
from the above figures that the Bering sea
section leads all others in the value of the
imports, those of Southeastern Alaska being
nearly half million less than the Bering
sea division.
The value of foreign merchandise i'm
ported laSt year was SO9l ,O9, Juneau COLI
ing first with S135, 1863, Eagle next with
SIT, 800, Skagway with S122, 544, and Nome
with S113,154. The principal article of for
eign import was coal, of the value of S244,-
&c. lumber, S10,338; hardware and ma
chinery, S18,605; provisions, Sill, 1881 !;
liquors, SO, 299 other merchandise, $685.
$50.
The total value of goods imported, do
mestic and foreign, amounts to the grand
total of Sc, 1862, 2S4. The lesson that these
figures teach is striking one, since they
show that Alaska is an unexceled market,
inasmuch as it is practically cash market
and Alaska "pays the freight" Yet, de-
spite this, we continue to be neglected and
ignored by the government of this country.

4 MINING BILL CRITICISED.

Under the caption ga Vicious Alaska
Mining Bill, the San Francisco Chronicle
of March IL last, critcises bill introduced
by Mr.. Foster, of Washington, in the Sen
ate. The object of the bill is "to modify
the mining laws applicable to the district
of Alaska, and for other purposes" The
criticisms of the Chronicle are, in some re-
spects, vague, especially that portion of the
article in which it intmates that the Foster
bill is the outgrowth of and manifestly sin
the interest of the wealthy syndicate which,
through scandalous methods and the bold
est frauds, has managed to grab and hold
the major portion of the gold-bearing plac-
ers of the Nome district, to the exclusion of
honest locators and bona fde prospectors. !"
The foregoing quoted portion of the article
needs diagraming that it may be thoroughly
understood, but as whole, the Chronicles
criticisms are fair. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that the bill has been passed, nor do
we think, in it's present form, it ever will be-

HERE'S TO SENATOR NELSON.

OF all the United States senators who
visited Alaska last summer Senator Nelson
seems to have been the most strenuous.
during the recent session of congress, in his
efforts in behalf of Alaska. According to
a dispatch published in todays issue of
this paper, Senator Nelson condemned
the governments inaction toward Alaska,
while in eloquent terms he pointed to the
present productiveness of the district and
what it's future promised. Senator Nelson,
in his denunciation of governmental indif-
ference, was heartily cheered by his col
leagues of the senate.
Senator Nelson is a friend of Alaska.
He showed that last year by his speeches
and in his intercourse with the people while
visiting Alaska. Since then he has tried to
make good what he outlined in his addresses
to the people. That he has not succeeded
has not been his fault, nor the fault of the
United States senate, be it said, of which he
is a member, for, according to THE MUG
GETS advices, the senate has been ready
and willing to pass most of the bills intro
duced in behalf of Alaska. The one giving
the district delegate must be excepted
and the opposition to it's passage was head
ed by senator who represents little,
barren New England state
Notwithstanding the fact that Senator
Nelson has not succeeded in his efforts to
secure something tangible for Alaska, he
has sown seed that will bring forth and
multiply. And the people of Alaska ap-
preciate his sterling efforts. We hope that
he will continue to condemn govern
mental Indifference and congressional neg
lect of this territory until something tangi-
BILE shall have been done in the way of
recognizing the fact that this Northland is
really an integral part of Uncle Sans pos
sessions

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Exclusive dispatches to this paper, dur.
ing the past winter, have told of the out
break of the war between Japan and Russia,
and of the progress made by the combat
ants Dispatches published today tell OF
the continued success of the Japanese, both
OIL land and sea. The japanese seem to
have developed into military and naval
strategists of the first order, and the intelli-
gence with which their campaign has been
made has excited the warmest admiration of
military and naval tactcans
Whether Japan's success shall be con-
tinued without let or hindrance is an entirely
different matter. Japan, by her impetuosi-
ty and daring, caught the sluggish Russian
bear asleep, but signs are not wanting that
he has had his eyes opened during the past

A recent census of the town of Nome
shows population OF $500, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. AS the census was
taken in midwnter, it represents the pres
ent permanent residents of the place.
Nome's growth is typical of the rapid de-
velopment of Western communities Five
years ago not a human being resided on it's
site, and not one in a million of the inhab-
itants of the earth knew where Cape Nome
was located on the map.

few months the bear is recovering from the
effects of his first great surprise, but in the
meantime, the Japanese people, flushed
with victory and stimulated by patriotism
that is admirable, are more confident than
ever in the ultimate triumph of their cause.
The outbreak of the war in midwinter placed
upon Russia an unmstakable handicap, and
now that spring has come we may expect to
hear of more stirring times in the Far East.

The Bradley Registration bill is
now a law, or will be in time for
the ensuing election. It. provides
for the registration of all voters IN
Incorporated towns of the State,
from the highest to the lowest class
es. 10 this county it affects the
towns of Pembroke, Lafayette,
Crofton, Gracey and Fairview. The
corporate limits of these towns are
small and the number of voters
ranges from about so at Gracey to
probably 200 at Pembroke. Not
more than 500 voters are brought
within the provisions of the new
law in Christian county in addition
to those in Hopkinsville, about 1900
The number Of voters who must
register will be about 2,300 out Of
5000 to $500 in the whole county.
The important provision of the law
is that a certificate will be given
each voter when he registers and if
he cannot produce the certificate
when he goes to vote he cannot vote,
no matter if he was born in his pre-
cinct and was never out of it. Pro-
vision is made for securing a dupll-
cate by affidavit that the original
was lost. OF course a certificate
sold has not been ''lost" and it
follows that the purchase of GER
ti6cate will kill a vote. OF the ? 300
voters required to register, about
1000 are colored, but it must not
be assumed that all are purchasable
To say that 500 are, would be a
liberal estimate, while probably
100 floaters classed as Democrats
would be open to "arguments"
from the other side. If the cam.
paign is to be pitched on a money
basis next year, the Republicans
would probably suffer TO the extent
of 400 votes 10 the towns, but the
registered voters who were pre-
vented from voting in towns would
have many opportunities to claim
homes in other precincts and vote
anyhow, with Republican election
boards. Besides the loss of 400
votes would not seriously endanger
Republican control of the county
The Republicans lost nearly 1000
BY split in their party IN 1901 and
still elected their ticket. a whole
sale registration law is about the
only sure cure Tor Republication
in Christian county. One advant-
age to the town of Fairview by the
new law will be that a voting pre-
cinct will have to be established
there. Since the county was re.
districted in 1898, Fairview has
not been voting place.
