quarrel among themsslVeS, they 8lll get nothing, The Juneau convention presumed to speak for Alaskans. The convention took a wise progressive view of Alaska'S needs, and all Alas kans who are really ansiOus to serve the beso interests of the northern eOun- try should acquieace in thecOnvention's declarations.
 "Alnska will not be helped by narrow political quarFels, Such qu,rrels should be frownsd upon by those who are anxious to do something for Alas ka."
 To those who followed the trend of events leading up to the bolt by the struggling followers of Governor Hog gait, the move was as patent as any faux paus in politics could be made. Long in advance of the walk out, the loyal Alaskans were aware of what was to be done by Perseverance and Tread we'll mine hir.lingS and no surprise was noted hen.they began their dirge steps towards the exit.
 Knowing that Hoggatt was doomed, the bolters hoped to create an impress sion by a showing that part of the dele gation had deserted, that Hoggatt had some real strength in the convention, but ln this they reckoned falsely, Hog, gattism had no room in that convention and corporate interests got just us much when their understrappers left the de.

 The current news says Alaska now has en route to Seattle sl, 200 900 worth of gold dust and brick sledded from tue Fairbanks district to Summit. Shipments out of Fairbanks during the season will total about ss,OOO, 900. AlaSka's gold output this year would have been much larger but for labor disturbances. It might have reached more than SSO,OOoOOO. It was more than s2l, ,OOO. 900 last year, and the per centsge gain was greater than that of any other gold-produclpg country.
 Good roads will help Alaska. The federal government can very well nt- ford to appropriate the mere plttance Alaska is asking for in this behalf. Pending the construction of railroads in Alaska, a system of good public highways is 8 public necessity.
 Alaska Is pouring enough wealth Into this country to justify the federal gov ernment in dealing literally with the northern country. Besides, the best way to Increase Alaska's productive ca paciEy is to provide adequate means of transportation so that the northern country can be put into easy cOmmuni- cation with the outside world.

Comm ntIng on the recent cOnven- tion at Juneau, the Post.InIelligencer editorially says:
 "The statement of Lewis P. Shackel. ford. who headed the delegation of Alaskaus that walked out of the Ju- neau convention, that tho convention was unauthorized, and, therefore ille- gal, is too late to be satisfactory. Re- sides, this kind of qusrrellng will dc Alaska no good.
 "why did Mr. shackelfOrd and his aS- sociates go to the Juneau convention at all? Why was 1t necessary for them to serve notice on delegates there as- sembled that they had gathered with out authority? Iu whose interest did they speak? By whom were they au- thorized 10 speak?
 "For .Alaskans at least, these are pertinent questions, The Juneau coz vention declared for a territorial form of government for Alaska, 1t indorsed Mir. Gale and his efforts in behalf of home rule; 1t took other important steps looking to the same end.

PATRICK AN ENTHUSIAST
ON LUNIN0 DISTRICT

L. L. Patrick returned from a visit
to the Luning copper district last Mon
day.
II have seen many copper camps in
this and other portions of the country"
said Mr.. Patrick, 'and you can quote
me as saying hat the surface indica-
lions around Luning and Nina are the
best l a ever seen and it is my ION
est belief that in a few years some boz
nanza copper mines will be opened up
around that section. In all directions
copper values can be found that run all
the way from 2 to 40 per cent copper,
with a few dollars in gold and as high
as $50 in silver. / nave been down in
some of the old shafts that were sunk
rs years ago and 1 cannot understand
why they were abandoned. Some of
these properties produced as much as
81, 600, 900. / p the reason for
their abandonment was the high cost
of transportation and the high treatment
charges. I own a group of claims about
foul miles north OF Luning and the
surface showing is immense. In a sur
face trench we I've proven up a dyke
that is so feet wild and the groupings
carry good values for a distance of
500 feet. I have had a number of assays
of the ore made and the average values
are S per cent copper"

Searchlight, New. July Last week
the Duplex strike was counted as the
best thing yet occurring in this immedi-
ate vicinity, but the discovery on the
neutrality-suspicious.. where $500 ore was
uncovered at grassroots, promises to
outstrip anything ever heard of in South
ern Nevada, and the fabulous strikes Of
Tonopah and Goldfeld must hereafter be
associated with the Spokane. As an
nounced last week Assistant General
Manager AL. F. Jennings, while pros
pecting for surface outcrops on the
Spokane uncovered six inches of por-
phyritic quartz that gave an average
assay of $505. Since then prospecting
for the best place to sink on the bonanza
has been in progress and 1t was deter
mined to sink at the point where the
outcrop was largest and values appeared
best. A hole has been sent down six
feet and the rock is averaging 500 per
foot. With the shoot widening these
values give promise of developing into
from $500 to $500 per foot in sinking to
so feet.
Every piece of quartz being taken from
the shaft is literally a mass of free gold.
The rich mineral is interviewer into the
quartz III q perfect mesh, ana SO great
has been the excitement that a guard
is posted at the shallow working to pre-
vent high grading.
When 1t is possible to take out $4,000
worth of ore in less han ten feet of
workings there is reason to consider the
strike the most important yet made in
this or any other district.
This strike has again aroused the leas-
ing public and many companies are be-
ing besieged for leases. Every pres
sure is being brought to bear by strong
aggregations of local capital to secure
the opening of many properties to les
sees, and if this is done, especially on
such finds as the neutrality-suspicious.,
it will soon mean the Inauguration of a
period of prosperity yet unheard of in
this district.

BIG RUSH TO
SAND SPRINGS

A new strike at Sand Springs has
caused a rush the past week. The new
fnd Is situated one and a half miles
southeast of and Springs station and
two miles due south Of the original Sand
Springs property. according to the state
ment of Sheriff Robert Shirley who went
to the scene in an auto as soon as he
heard OF II. Two autos came in from
Fairview ahead of them. and prospectors
rave since been arriving from all Sec
tons.
The sheriff says that last April a man
found a piece Of rich loaf out on the
fat but could not tract IL up. He started
for Seven Troughs and at Still told
Mr.. Elliott about IL. Elliott recently
went to the locality and succeeded in
tracing the oat and discovered the
ledge. He got assays running from $50
to s429 per ton-s130 in gold n S2ss
in silver.
Cirac brothers located the extension
ledge is from IL to IS inches wide on the
surface.
The formation is porphyry, the rock
being the same character as that in the
original San Springs mine and at Re
gent, tHc idtteT DelnB nineteen miles
distant.
Sheriff Shirley says that tine new
strike is in a good mineralized country
and that the indications are the best
he has seen in that part of the country.
1t Is near the Sand Springs property in
which he is interested and II was to pro-
tect this property that he went to the
new find. He says he had walked over
the groupings a hundred times but he
never thought 1t worth while to knock
on a sample.

strike yesterday to do development
work. He got in on What he considers
