Baker Creek Springs
 Change Hands

D. F. Karshner has sold his famous Baker creek hot splings property to a syndicate of Fairbanks men headed by Frank Manley. the we'll known mining man of the Tanana. The purchase price is said to be $30,0O0, of which $2O. 900 was paid in cash.
 It is reported on excellent authority that great improvements will be made in the accommodations at the Springs. and that large hotel will be erected. It is also the intention of the new pro- prietors to proceed immediately with construction of trading post and to install freighting ontfit to supply the miners in the Thanksgiving, Glen and Eureka districts.
 A late arrival from over the divide states that force of men is now en- ployed constructing road, that can be used both summer and winter, so that the new post can be brought within acess of Glen and the surrounding country. Our informant states that a representative of Mir. Manley has been soliciting patronage of the miners for the new venture and redeived substan- tial encouragement. It is proposed to have large stock at the new post in a few weeks.

Territorial Government
 The Real Issue

From the Nome Nugget.
 Are you in favor or are you opposed to territorial government for Alaska? If you are against it, what are your reasons for your opposition? Do you prefer the anomalous government, from and by Washington, to government of the people, for the people and by the people of Alaska? Do you, expect con- gress to legislate rationally for the peo- pie of Alaska, or do you rather expect congress to give ms makeshift or com promise legislation ad infnitum, be- cause congress, not knowing our actual needs and conditions. can at best serve us imperfectly? And, judging by the experiences of past years, congress is hard body to enlighten upon those mat ters and interests which closely affect the prosperity and well-being of the territory.
 The Nugget, while welcoming the opportunity that is soon to be given us to be directly represented in congress, has long maintained that delegate in that body is matter of minor import ance as compared with the question of self-government for the people of AL aska. And we hold that the man who shall be elected, though he work never so earnestly and faithfully for his great constituency, will not find his path strewn with roses, and he will be en- abled to accomplish only tithe of what he could wish. And many. perhaps most, of the disabilities under which Alaskans now labor will continue, de- spite every endeavor to lessen the evils of which we so justly complain.
 There is no argument that can be made successfully against self-govern- ment for any considerable body of Am erican citizens. To say that Alaska should not have government of it's own is to say, in effect, that its people are not capable of governing themsel- yes. If there be any argument that can be advanced against the territorial idea. The Nugget would be pleased to see it advanced.

Ester Creek Cleanups [ A Disappoin

| A~ fOAAASAAA~AAG
 The following letter was received in last mail from Fairbanks by local mi- her. The writer is former miner of Ithis camp and writes under date of June P. Among other things he states: Things are about the same as when you left. Ester creek did not wash up to expectations. Some of the laymen came out behind. The Eagle Mining Company could have sold it's two claims last winter for $90. 900; doubt that the claims could be sold now for $20, GOO, so great is the slump in Ester creek val- ues.
 !" Big Minook' Johnson prospected Allen creek some more. He sunk four more holes on the upper end of that creek and found nothing ng-only a few colors. He afterwards bought in with Al Roberts on the upper 150 feet on 4a Ester creek. They had five men hired and for five weeks were taking out $100 per day, but they struck a stream of running water a few days ago that al- most put them out of business. They put on a pump that throws $50 gallons a minute, and by keeping this pump running all the time they can work.
 II met Mrs. Myers on the street to- day. She told me she was heading for Tenderfoot creek in the Delta country. The big fire of month ago, burnt up the business part of the town, except the N. c. Go. which saved it's own.''
