Men will always buy in the
cheapest and sell in the dearest
market. The average man, nc
matter how much he declaims
against trusts, will pass an indepen.
dent dealer every time and buy of
a trust if he can produce what
he desires at less price, even
if the difference is infinitesimally
small, and he will give the in
dependent buyer the go-by and sell
to the trust if he can get a penny
more for his wares. Half the
trusts in existence would be com,
PEELED to 60 out of business if the
people would exercise judgment in
buying and selling, and in the long
run the people would be much
better off by taking such action.

south by John A. Johnson, on the
west by the Browns Valley Tribune.
Its capital is Granville S. Pease of

by hot air emanating from the

We don't want to indulge in

that John A. Johnson is having
mighty little to say about the

REPORT
 NO GOOD Geological Survey of the
 Peninsula. GOLD IS NEGLECTED The Official Pamphlet Contains Nothing to Aid Practical
 Mining Men.
GOLD IS NEGLECTED

An official report has been prepared of the operations of the geological sur vey parties who visited Seward penin- sula last summer. The. object was to gather information about the gold de- posits, but the report says almost noth- ing about results, and there is little or nothing in it to help the practical mining man. An abstract of the re- port, prepared in the geological sur vey, says:
 ''The purpose of the typographical survey was to complete the reconnos- ance mapping of the peninsula which had been begun by the geological sur vey in 1900 and extended in 1901. The principal object of the geological in- vestigation was to procure information concerning the placer gold deposits on Candle creek and the tributaries of the Keewalik, Buekland and Inmachuk rivers, discovered1n 1901, and to de- termlne the presence of any other valu- able minerals which mighh perhaps, be unfamiliar to the miners. In addi- tiOn it was desired to obtain evidence that would throw light on the oI igin of the source of the gold and to learn as much as possible of the structural rela- tions of the gold-bearing rocks"
 The abstract then describes the diffi- culties of the expedition, and adds that the "preliminary topographic mapping of the entire area of Seward peninsula was completed, while Mr. Motfit com pleted geological reconnaissance of the region and studied in more detail the creeks in which gold has been pro- duced."

Frank Shaw and Harry Leland, of the Wild Goose Mining Company, ar rived Thursday from the outside. They left Seattle on January 20, stopping en route at Dawson for number of days. They experienced excellent weather throughout the entire trip. They left Dawson February l6, and from Circle went to the Tanana, where they spent a short time. half day being devoted to Cleary creek, in that district. Mir. Shaw went down into several shafts on that creek and banned quite exten- sively, and he believes that in time the Tanana country will develop into a good camp, as soon as supplies can be laid down at the diggings at moderate prices and improved methods of work ing are adopted. Fairbanks creek is another stream which is promising, but it has not been prospected to any great extent, although dumps are in evidence
 Provisions are very scarce. Bacon was quoted at D cents a pound flour at S35 a hundred, and other staples at proportionate prices. All the ware houses at the mouth of the Tanana have been cleaned out, and this is also practically true of Circle, Rampant and other Yukon trading posts. Bacon was a nn1In6 Supplies are being sent from Circle to Fairbanks, and from thence to Fort Gibbon for the use of the military at the latter place.

Sugar is out. The Ramparter with a sweet tooth must grin and bear it. On top of this he must now also eat his bread without butter or salt. Never before in local history has so great a shortage in all lines appeared this early. It will be gaunt community that will make descent on the first supply boat in June.
 According to the Dawson News of re- cent date, 20 tons of miscellaneous sup plies were taken from Dawson to re- lieve existing shortages in Circle City stocks. This is fair sample of why it costs the big companies so much to do business in Alaska, and, again, why the consumer must pay such high prices for his goods. In other words, "Jones pays .he freight"

Begun in Chicago Against Rev. p. H. Anderson, of No.

Chicago, Jan. 24-Three suits for a total of S530 900 have been filed in the circuit court against r. H. Anderson, of this city. Nels O. Hultberg, plain tiff in one of the suits, seeks to recov or s500,o00 while Dora Adams and Hanna Hultberg ask for s15, 900 each. Back of the suits, according to the defend ant, is story which had it's beginning in the Alaskan gold fields in 1898.
 When the rush for Alaska and the Yukon was at its height Anderson was one of the first to arrive in Nome. and. after prospecting for some time, locat- ed and filed the claim known as the White Star property. He incorporated the White Star Mining Company, with capital stock of sSO,OOO. In 1900, he is said to have sold his holding in the company for more than Si, 900, GOO and returned to the United States.
 Nels o. Hultberg, his wife and niece, Miss Dora Adams, claim to have been the original prOspectors at the White Star mine, and Hultberg asserts that he struck gold in sufficient quantities to warrant working it and returned to Nome to file papers with the land agent. He was detained for some time in reaching Nome, and when he did apply at the government office he learned that Anderson had already filed his claim. !
