NOME MEN TURN
 EYES 10 SEWARD

"Quitc a number of Nome prospect ors will come to Seward this winter to exploit the mineral resources contigu, ous to this town" said l.. F. shaw, a recent Nome arrival, soon after he came.
 "The Nome country,' continued Mr.. Shaw, "is undoubtedly a wonderful placer field. but the individual miner .s fast giving way to the large corpor- ate operators, and the rocker and hand s,uicing method is yielding to the hy- drau,c mode Oi mining.
 "The hardy proSpeclor, with no re- source other than a l"ave, determined spirit. must seek pastures new, and his attention is naturally drawn to this section by reason of the Alaska Central railroad, which will open up 10 him an inviting field, known to contain yaIu- able mineral deposits, which have hitherto lain dormant for lack of trans portation facilities.
 Another thing that has a tendency lo disgust the legitimate miner with the Nome disuiy,, is the uncertainty O. title, to the claims, due primarily to our absurd mining laws. No sooner does a miner make rich strike than hi, troubles begin. He meets almost endless expensive litigation, which re- suits in leaving him broke, both. in money and spirit.
 "The natural resources of this country, timber and game, are such as to greatly assist .he prospector It requires very little money for grub stake here. Nature has been bounte- ous in this regard. Another advanta- geous thing is all winter communica- ton with the eoutside and better mail facilities.
 "From the knowledge that l have gained from many inquiries regarding southwestern Alaska, am frank to say that believe the prospector will make no mistake in casting his fortunes in this section of Alaska"

BUILD CHURCH IN
 PLACE OF TENT

Before Sunday the Methodist tent will be the Methodist church. All the men who can work upon it are engaged in making a comfortable frame struc-
 ure over the flooring of the tent, and they expect to finish the job by tomor- TOW evening.
 Early in the week it was decided that the tent must be made warmer and given roof which could bear a heavy weight of snow. While plans for the improvements were being for mulated Dr. Sleem suggested that the society ought to have a complete frame structure, and took upon himself the task of raising the funds. Several car penters volunteered to do the work without compensation and for two days they have been busy.

CHANGE PLANS
 FOR EXPOSITION
By Cable to theDaily Gateway

Seattle, Nov. 1.-The directors of the AluSka-Yukon exposition decided yesterday to make the fair general northwestern event, tomclude notonly Alaska and British Yukon, but the Pacific states, all the Northwest terri tory and British Columbia, and that part of Asia adjacent to Alaska. The original purely Alaska idea was drop ped.
 This change of program was adopted in order to enlarge the scope of the eX- position and to avoid icalousies which might arise from holding the fair in Seattle, and the inclusion of only the Klondike out of the whole British Northwest.
 A telegram was received from the American consular agent at Dawson, conveying greeting, from the Yukon commissioners and expressing regret at their inability to arrive in time to participate in the organization.
 Godfrey Chcalandcr stated that all the regions of Alaska which he visited in the interest of the exposition in his recent trip 10 the territory were cn- thusiastic over the project. John H.. Hughes of Fairbanks assured the direc- tors that the Tanaua would give active support To the exposition. Col. w. Y: Perkins vouchcd for the backing of Nome and Seward peninsula.

 The pipe line k to be 7l9O feet long, from the power house. Above the pipe line few hundred feet of Hume will b. laid to the point where the water is to be diverted from Lowell creek. At the lower end the pipe is II inches in diameter. The next section is l2 inches and the tubing is graduated, l3, l4, b and l6 inches. Each section above the ll-inch link is l2jO feet long. By the gradual reduction in diameter or the pipe increased pressure is obtained.

OPPOSE GOVERNMENT
 CONTROL OF RATES
By Cable to the Daily Gateway

Washington, D. C.. Nov. l5 Repre- sentatives of all the union orders of railroad employees met here today. It is expected that they will take stand against the Esch-Townsend railroad rate bill which was passed by the last House and will be introduced into the present Congress, and which has the support of President Roosevelt.
 The bill proposes to give to the in- terstate commerce commission power to regulate railroad freight rates. The railroad men at the convention say that this is antagonistic to their inter- ests as it would probably have the result of reducing the wages of rail road employees.

By Cable to the Daily Gateway

Washington, D. C., Nov. l5-The annual geological survey report states that the past years investigations have shown that valuable petroleum fields undoubtedly exist at Coal bay, Copper river Cape Yakataga and Con- troller bay in Alaska.
 The report describes the seepage of oil in all those regions to be strong, indicating the existence of petroleum in large quantities. Wherever the oil veins have been tapped big flow has been secured, and gas bubbles show strong indications cf both oil and gas

ALASKA OFFERS
 MANY CHANCES

The industrial bureau of the Alaska Central Railway Company is now ac- lively at work getting out descriptive matter for general circulation in order to attract immigration. A great deal of press matter is also going into the big newspapers oi the country and is attracting much attention. Seward and the country 10 be wuycrscd by the Alaska Central railroad are constantly becoming better known, Among the point, which the bureau Is imprc,sing upon the public are the following:
 Seward and Central Alaska offer op- portuuitics equal to any which may be found in any part of North America.
 The Alaska Central Railway is open irg a virgm country as large as all of Now England, New York, Pcnnsyl- yauia. Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ken lucky and Tennessee combined.
 Thi, vast new territory carries de- po,iJs of gold, copper, coal and other mineral, on both sides of the Alaska Central routa, and in close proximity Co ir. which soon will be giving cm- p.oymcu, Co thousands of miners, and make Sowad one of the most active center, oI distribution on the Pacific coast.
 The climate i, just aS favorable to habitaion, to vigorous, robust man hood d, thc climate of southern Nor way ur oO ocotud..
 The soil produces nearly every kind of hardy vegetation that cu be grown tn Wisconsin or Minnesota, a, eNpcri- uaut has shown,
 Some of Jhy specific opportunities are,
 Garden, and stock farms along the line of the Alaska Central Railway to supply the miner, audrailroad Iaborers wuo are coming and will continue to come in increasing numbers.
 pro,pac,ors and miner, of every kind in amy number 10 work the vast mineral deposit, unclaimed, in the area tributary to tine railway
 ~ra,kgrowcrs ,o make use of the great ,rrJchg, of blue stem and red top gra-,o, that yield in Central Alas Na several tons per acre.
 ~awmilI, will find a rapidly jucreas- ing demand for native lumber, EN- ,.n,iyc forests of spruce and other valuable wood, lie along the railroad route. and with the extension of the line town, will spring up which will require great quantities of lumber for building, while the similar need, of farmers and miners will constantly expand
 uauo1e, could be established in Seward the coming spring and find a rapidly widening market f0r their out puu. The poJUl, otu furniture mnnu- factory and au iron foundry would be in steady demand. The latter especially, would secure a growing market in sup plying pipe unGfNWrc, for thchydrau- ugmmo,. already nmcrou, and m- urua,ug in numbers in the region which the railroad will traverse, and which now are compelled to send 10 Puget Sound for ali but the most ordi- nary repairs.
 Seward is growing so rapidly that it's hotel capacity iS constantly overtaNed. One hotel l, building an addition and the other will build in the spring. At both house, and in an rooming houses nearly every room is taken by irregular Iodger. and whenever a boat come, in from Seattle applicants for rooms are turned away by both hotels and are compelled to hunt about town for a place to stay in some lodginghouse, often visiting several before finding vacant room.

HITCHCOCKs LAST CARD.
Tribal Officials Declare He Comedies
No Power 10 Approve Deeds.

South McAlester, l. t., May
o. The order from Secretary
Hitchcock to the Dawes commits
sion that no more restrictions
would be removed from Indian
lands unless the deeds to same
were first approved by the secre-
tary of the Interior 10 considered
by tribal authorities as an admis-
sion that the interior department
now recognizes that it has no
authority toIapprove these d eds.
Otherwise it would seek to re-
strain the tribal officers by law.
1t is believed among high tri-
bal officers that Governor McCur-
tain will now proceed to make out
deeds himself and pay no further
attention to the department.
Even though the department re-
fuses to remove restrictions from
Indian lands, it will not be far
reaching in effect, for fully So per
cent of the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw lands are inalienable by
treaty and not under the secre-
tary's control. This refers to
lands of minors, freedmen and
intermarried citizens.
