SEATTLE BOOSTERS

The people of Alaska are not likely to lose sight of the facttha the REAL SEATTLE BOOSTER IS THE ALAS KAN TORY, WHO THROWS HIS INFLUENCE IN THE SCALES IN FAVOR OF A PERPETUATIoN OF THE BASTARD SYSTEM OF GOV EMINENT WITH WHICH ALASKA IS BURDENED. AlaSka's system of government permits seattleItes and the residents of other portions of the country and those people who spend only portions of the summer in this dis trict to dictate leglslation and office holders for 1t. If the sentiment which controlled the Alaskan convention ct Seattle were to prevail matters of gov srnnent for Alaska would be removed from the hands of NONRESIDENT PRErENDERS and placed in the hands of the people who live in the dis trlct. That Is all those who are sup porting territorial government ask. For that the Daily Alaskan has been contending for many years without ceasiug, and 1t has no apologies to make for its course.

A NEGRO PRcsPEcroR

Enthusiastic over a new strike made by him on his claims in the Crown Point district. Tim Hawkins, the well known colored prospector, arrived here Saturday with two sacks of ore. in pieces of which free gold were plainly visible to the naked eye. and samples of which were assayed by a local as- sayer
 "I have two miners at work sinking shaft on this kind of rock" he said. as he proudly exhibited a specimen streaked with the yellow metal "Ths shaft is now seventeen feet deep and the paystreak is about a foot and q half in thickness. any sample of which leaves good streak O. gold in the pan when crushed and washed.
 'I located the claim about two years ago" he added, but never thought it was such a good one until about a month ago. when I discovered the rich ore sticking out of the surface of the ground. I commenced to dig right away. and it kept looking better. so I hired two miners and put them to work. I have owned lots of good property and have sold it cheap but I am not going to let any of these smooth fel- lows talk me out of this one.-Journa. Miner.

finally getting very clear idea of the situation.
 A motion was offered that an assess
 ment of one dollar per share be made.
 motion to adjourn subject to the call of the chair was overwhelmingly de- feated. The maker stated as his reason that he thought 1t better to wait until the river got through its work this sea- son. It was explained that 1t would take thirty or forty days to do this work, and the water, would be needed
 by the time 1t could be furnished even
 if operations began at once. The orig
 inal motion was pressed and an in- quiry being made, Attorney Bennett ex-
 plained that while ne thought in this
 kind of a corporation, a majority of stock present was a quorum, yet, strictly under the articles to be legal and binding. the assessment should be voted by a majority of the stock issued. Some of the stockholders who had to go home had already left. and only part of them had left proxies. It was doubtful if a majority of the stock was still present. but the vote was entered upon nevertheless.
 II was Dul opposed the assessment and one of them after voting no. came back and changed it to yes. The total strength of the three opposing members was 300 shares.or about four per cent of the whole. They cast their stock quickly and departed. Thefe was no further opposition at all. but there was a great skurrying around to rustic up stock holders enough to vote a majority of the stock outstanding. It was a contest not against an opposition. but against a circumstance. for 1t was apparent that at least ninety per cent of the stock would be in favor of the move if it were all present perhaps a larger per centage even. but IL wasn't there and those who were present were breaking their necks to assess them selves in legal way. and about dark they accomplished it most successfully. When the mem bers who had scattered out think ing the election would have to be postponed. heard of the situation. they began coming back and shortly after , o'clock 6.S35 shares had voted yes. and 300 shares no. The number of affirma- tive votes necessary to carry was 6.27G. the excess majority being nearly twice as great as the entire opposition.

10 BE OR NCE TO BE
 WAS THE QUESTION
And It Was Very Properly Decided at Yesterdays Meeting of the Arizona Canal w. U. A.

Though that was not its verbiage. the real question discussed yesterday at the special meeting of the stockholders of the Arizona Canal Water Users asso- citation. was whethe.. the association should meet conditions bravely and continue the successful fight it has made against Encouragement and dis aster. or throw up its hands and walk off the field of battle. whipped and everlastingly undone. Those who have followed the history of this project will not be surprised when announcement is made that by a vote of 65 to g. the association refused most emphati tically 10 surrender to the challenge of Fate On .the contrary an assessment of one dollar per share was levied on each share of stock. to make necessary re- pairs and improvements, thus provid- ing for a fund of approximately ten thousand dollars, to proceed with the work. As an illustration of the harmo- niOus cooperation of the members and their confidence in the integrity and judgment of the officers of the asso- citation, there was handed to the secre- tary by three different members before the vote was taken, over two hundred dollars to apply on the anticipated as- sessment. After the vote and before the meeting was adjour ned, other lard owners present, announced to the off cers that their assessments amounting 10 over a thousand dollars. would be paid on Monday morning. That means success.
 The work to be undertaken at once. and the order of it generally agreed upon. is as follows: First, repair the two breaks in the bank of the old Ar izona canal, not merely in a temporary way. but the upper one at least. in the most substantial way possible. as it has never been done before. and occurring it against washing out again by any ordi- nary flood. Secondly. the building of a new dam across the river from the rock cut to the stub of the old Arizona dam on the south. or at that particular point more accurately speaking. the east side of the river. This is a new project and will be spoken of later in detail.
 The reason for repairing the old canal before proceeding with the headworks. is that during the winter there is apt to be more or less high water. With the canal bank securely repaired and the sand removed from the upper section, it will withstand ordinary floods and
