The Ketchikan miner., 1907-12-28

The Alaska politicians of the repub- lican persuasion, who are spending the winter in the states, are seeming ly getting ready for another conven- tion scrap-but where the circus will preform next is not yet announced. Suggested compromises so far extend only to the third division and how to make the delegation Ego round" so as to give all the anxious eligibes seats at the pie counter is the perplexing problem.
The Ketchikan miner., 1907-12-28

The republicans of Alaska were not the only ones Init" by the action of the national committee in ruling that delegates chosen in advance of the call for the national convention would not be recognized. In one of the congress sional districts of Michigan delegates were thus chosen in advance and in- structed for Uncle Joe, and a new con- vention will be necessary, though the result will probably be the selection of the same persons as delegates sim ilarly instructed.

 Thursday County Surveyor J. A. Straith went to the camp of the National Consolidated Mining Co.,, to report on the proposed county road in that direction, and to lay out a mill site for the company. The money to build a mill is now nearly all subscribed, and there is no doubt that new mill will be erected on the property within a very few months. In this connec- tion 1t is not amiss to state that a letter from the Chicago office of the company received this week states that assays from some of the ores sent there some time ago showed twenty-three ounces of gold per ton. Of course the National peo- pie do not claim that all their ore will run so rich as that, but they do claim that they have many thousand tons of rock which will pay to mill.

May Raise Price of Bread.-Local
bakers are again discussing an ad-

one of the two things will probably
be done within short time. The ex-
pected raise in the price of flour has
caused the bakers to get busy and pre-
, pare themselves for the advance. At
| the present time they are compelled to
pay $3.50 per barrel for flour in car
, load lots and the millers are advising
them to buy all the -four they can
store. The millers expect the price of
flour to advance to Sc and over when

An Xmas Mistake

~ From his Christmas work at last,
The gifts had all been given,
The holidays were past,
And, doing in his armchair,
With his cat upon his knees,
The good saint smoked his honest pipe
And took his honest case.
But something reused him quickly.
He started from his seat.
A soldier bold, a maiden fair,
Were kncelins at his feet.

behold my fearful plight!
These wounds have been inflicted
Since that dreadful, dreadful night
When you left nc in the stocking
Of being dare rot name"
