fORSKAGWAY
Miner Wants Geological
 Survey Here

A Skagwayan who is a miner and who is largely interested in the devol- opment of the prospects in the Skagway valley wants the people of Skagway to move to get geological survey made of the country in this neighborhood. He says:
 "A geological survey such as is being made by the department of the interior in var ous sections of Alaska would do much to determine whether or not there is ore in the neighborhoOd of Skagway. To get such a survey made would be to secure the best opinion of experts on this country. That is wha, those surveys are made for.
 "There is no doubt but that a united effort on the part of the people Of this city would secure such a survey. The prospects upon which assessment work is being done each year in this vicinity are such that there is no question but that a showing could be made that would get the department interested.
 "Many sections of Alaska have been exported by the federal government. There is DO good reason why this dis trict should not be examined surveyed, and exported"

HOPEFUL NEWS

A late Ottawa dispatch says William Templeman, of Victoria, a senator for British Columbia in the Dominion par liament and member of Laurter's eabi- net without portfolio, may be made min is,sr of the interiOr to succeed Clifford Siftou.
 That is hopeful news. Senator Templema1 Is a newspaper man by pro feSslon. He was the editor and man- Ager of the Victoria Times for many years, and he Is the leader of the fiber al party in British Columbia. His ca pacity for leadership may be gathered from the fact that when he first entered pohtles ln that province it was a con servatlve stronghold; now every mem Der of it's delegation at Ottawa is an Adherent Ci the liberal party.
 There is scarcely man on the Pa eidc coast. Canadian or American, lib eral or conservative, but that will be pleased fl Sir Wilirid appoints Billy Templeman to be minister of the inter- for. His friends are ready to guaran- tee that he will make as good a minis ter ss be has made an editor and a sen ator. More cannot be guaranteed
