IMMENSE
 COPPER LEDGE
Chris Hanson Locates on Lode 600 Feet Wide on Middle
 Fork of SuSitna.

Copper, gold and silver assaying $35
 a ton in ledge 500 feet wide and
 traced on the strike for the length oi
 ten claims. are the features of a recent
 discovery by Chris Hanson on the
 middle fork of the Susitna, above the
 falls. The s35 assay was made in San
 Francisco of surface ore sent down to
 obtain an exhaustive test of it's compO.
 sition in every particular.
 Mir. Hanson is now in Seward. He says he is placer miner and does not claim to know much about quartz but while in pursuit of placer gold he found this copper lode, which he says sticks out so visibly that he who runs across il could not fail to notice some thing of the mineral it contains. While the ore is not high grade the deposit is of such enormous extent that Hanson believes he has bonan- ga. He located ten claims and went no farther.
 So confident is Hanson of the value of his discovery that he came to Sew ard to offer it 10 Charles D. Lane, who was here in the spring and early sum mer, not knowing that Mr. Lane had gone back to the states. Mr. Hanson'S home is in San Francisco and when he returns there next month he will in- terview Mr. Lane upon the subject of obtaining capital to develop the 
 Specimens of the ore which NIr. Hanson has brought to Seward show plainly 10 any man having a casual knowledge of minerals that they pos ,ess good value. Additional value is given to the deposit, if it proves eX- .ensive enough to work on a large scale, by the proximity of large lime beds. The ore is a sulphide, which requires SiliciouS ores to huX it. If. he deposit should prove to be of enormous extent, requiring years to work it out, a smelling plant could be erected near the mine to avoid hauling he ore a long distance for reduction. The property lies within ten miles of he proposed route of the Alaska Central.
 Mir. Hanson spent the summer of 1905 around Knik arm, and with three partners located 8 large number of claims on dredging land near the mouth of Knik river, which he eX- oects to work with a dredger next rear. This summer he spent consider lble time in the Yentna district with Paul Buckley and he entertains a highly favorable opinion of the possi- 1ilities of that region

busy PoLITIcs IN NEW YORK

bUSI POLIllSS TN NEW HYMN
 All indications point to one of the hottest political fights this year in New York that the empire state has ever known. Both parties are broken into factions which hate each other more bitterly than the opposing political organization. The contest may be
 three-cornered but in any case it will discount a Donnybrook fair.
 William R. Hearst is running for governor as the candidate of the h.
 dependence League and he is going to
 keep on running until election day
 closes whether he gets the democratic
 nomination or not. Two or three
 democratic factions want to give it to
 him, while the Silk-stocking element
 is violent in it's opposition. Tammany
 is said ro b, for him although he was nearly elected mayor of Greater New York last fall over the regular candt- date. In that contest Inc showed his value a, a vote-gettcr and Tammany is always out Co win.
 Whatever opinion may be enter tafned of Hears, personally, or of his yellow newspapers and political de- mauds. no room for dispute remains as ro his importance as a political factor, His remarkable race for mayor last
 tall established that beyond question. 1T he fails Co receive the democratic nomination for governor he will proba- bly have an even chance with the nominees of the old parties, running as the candidate of the Independence League. If he receives the democratic nomination also it k hard to see how he can be beaten. The only possibility of his defeat seems to lie in the nOmi- nation of Charles F.. Hughes by the republicans.
 Hughes is the noted lawyer who acted as chief counsel for the Arm strong legislative committee which in- ye,tigured the life insurance frauds. Hughe, might beat Hearst by drawing . l heavy democratic vote, but that is | not certain because Hearst will draw a large republican vote as against any . opponent. The semi-socialistic vote . win be all his, and it k considerable . lmong republican workingmen. It ! laS been asserted that Hearst received | uore republican than democratic votes or mayor last fall, but that seems im- probable.
 If the republicans renominate Gov. who is backed by President Roosevelt and opposed by Odell and 'latt, he would not stand a ghost of nance against Hearst, if the latter .ets the democratic indorsement. Higgins is an amiable man of common ,Iace ability, but he cannot poll the ull republican vote against Hearst.
 The blooded wing of the demo- racy talks of nominating District \ttoruey Jerome, but Jerome'S utter allure to push the prosecutions against he insurance graftcrs and his tender less toward all big corporate offenders .ayc lessened his potcutialjty as a .ote-getter The belief is growing ! hat Jerome is principally 'poSeur.
