The Alaskan Fourth.

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July-the day we celebrate. Tomorrow the people of Alaska will forget that they are Al- askans, and will only remember that the Stars and Stripes" Is their flag. Alaskans hrst every day in the year. but tomorrow they will be first Ameri- can citizens. and Alaskans afterward. Proud of the land of our fathers, the land that gives to us and takes it away again, keenly realizing the neglect from which we suffer, yet patiently patriotic, living in hope of better days. On the Fourth of July, Alaskans are not diff ferent from the people in the States. The morning s9n comes up to the chor- us of the canon salute and makes rosy the streaming banners and ounttngs. The stores and shops put on their gay attire, and children born ID this North land burn their little fingers with fire crackers and fzzes. It is the day we celebrate, and we are Americans, and love our native landy Would to God that the legislator in the halls of con. gress, who votes to sidetrack Alaskan legislation to give place to relief meas ures for Philippine negros, eoud learn that fact.

The disbarment proceedings against Attorney Cobb were dismissed by the presiding judge, after careful invest igation, but it is related that he took occasion to administer severe casti- gation, delivered in general way to the members of the Juneau bar. Wheth- CT or not it was deserved, his words stung like lash, and will no doubt leave lasting impression. Lawyers cannot affort to be careless either of their clients interests or of their own reputation. The honesty of the mem bers of the legal profession should not be permitted to become matter ot jest. When it does the court is dragged into it and part of it's usefulness is destroyed. No man ever climbed to the topmost round of the laader of same by trickery and dishonest aaeth ods.

There is g law in Texas which requires commercial travellers to purchase li- gense before they may do business, a law either unknown to, or disregarie by, a certain patent medicine man rom New England. He was just emerging from drug store, where he had placed an order, when a stranger came up and addressed him.
 "fou sell Browns Boston Bitters. don't souP" the stranger asked.
 "Yes; and I'd like to sell you case cure you so quick you won't have been sick yssterday--factr the drummer said.
 "All right. How much 10 sheS" the stranger asked, palling out his pocket book, and handing oyer the s demand ed, receiving In exchange an order on the local freight agent for his case.
 "Now, I'd just like to see your license to peddle--pm the sheriff, " the stranger said, pleasantly.
 "You're got me,--$26, isn't it?" the drummer asked, offering the money. "t don't suppose it will be necessary for me to appear?" "No, that will be all right" the sheritI replied. Then he looked at the order for the case of medicine. "What am going to do with this stuif9" he asked
 "l'll give you dollar for it." the drummer suggested, and the trade was made.
 "And do you happen to have a H. cense to peddle? Hah, l thought not We'll, you have been trading with me selling goods without license~Nguess I'll go file a complaint against you,' the drummer said, sweetly.

SPLENDID FINDS ARE
BEING MADE AT
RAMSEY

Put Ramsey down for high grade
camp. The mine owners and prospect
ors are finding il In numbers Of places
and all the older properties are getting
better constantly With every days
work the district is showing for the richer
and better and late discoveries have
still further proven this mineral zone
one Of surface richness.
OF course there is no intention to con-
vey the meaning that there are nc mill
ing ores here Enough development
has already been done in the district 10
indicate the source of bullion production
| in the distant future. Take the Ramsey
Coinstock mine alone for instance. At
that property mountainous dumps of ore
are piled up that represent large ton
mage and the extraction of the milling
grade ores have already commenced.
They have a lot of ore raised To surface
that will plate from SIS to s5s per ton.
The Walkover is also producing d lot Of
milling ore along with the high-grade.
But the impression may have gone
forth that this district does not enjoy
the advantage Of having ore that would
pay we'll TO ship If such is the ase
there could be nothing further frem the
real facts Shipments of high grade ore
IS an established condition, with abso-
lutte assurance that the monthly tonnage
will be increased right along, and the
increase is going to come from several
properties operating on lodges each in
dependent and separate from the other
The district is III position now to in
vte the most exacting scrutiny by MIN
ing men. No fair minded man can fail
to see the genuine merit OF the mineral
zone and the chance Of its becoming as
great or greater than any of the New
Nevada mining camps, no place except
ed. There is certain to be one of the
most productive mining districts devel-
ope,l here that lies within the State.
This great system If silicihed dikes
means rich mineral belt. and daily dis
coveries are proving it to be such.
A gradual and steady increase 10 min
ing activity is noted here. Eacl, week
sees some new property getting under
development and little more activity
on tie older properties The district
and the town are steadily growing and
improving because the mineral wealth is
here. No better indication OF the true
merit of the camp could be had than
that From now on Ramsey district IS
going to forge ahead and command at
tention, whether The banks bust or Wall
street squeezes the money little tighter
or not The all powerful magnet, gold,
is getting stronger every minute here
and it is sure to have the effect Of draw
ing men to it. There is mighty good
starter for big, busting mining center
right i'll this north end of Lyon county.
Watch it and see Ramsey Recorder.

take care of it. This producer was not
inclined to pursue dog III the manger
policy and insist on the fulfillment of
his contract to the letter to the possible
inconvenience or loss to some one else,
so he promptly met the request of the
company with which he was doing bus
mess to send his ore temporarily Some
where else.
For similar reasons, it is understood
the Silver King company has tenn
porarily suspended the shipment of GER
tain classes of its ore; the DAILY Judge
company and dozen other companies
operating in Utah and other camps have
done likewise: and it is all right. But
the reports that any of the smelling
companies are refusing to pay cash for
ores purchased is altogether untrue =

AGRICULTURE IS THE
SALVATION OF The
COUNTRY

In a business message to Il. G.. Woolley,
his partner, James A. Pollock, of the
brokerage and banking house of James
A. Pollock * Co., who is now in St.
Louis, expressed himself on prevailing
conditions i'll a manner that will be read
with keen interest by the thousands of
people in this region who know him.
There are few men i'll this country who
financial conditions than he does, and
his opinion OH the markets is sought
and given respectful attention from San
Francisco to New York. From his me. :
sage the Herald was yesterday permit
ted by Mr.. Woolley to quote as follows:
General trade conditions will, i'll all
probability, show decided reaction be-
fore the close of the year, but it is not
safe to discount much more on the cop
per metal / do not believe that 33 | 3
per cent of the total copper output can
be produced for a less cost than 2 cents
and it is always good business to buy
any commodity for less than the cost of
normal production. 1t may be a long
pull, but these good coppers will bring
the money eventually.
f" The saving grace for the situation is
that farmers have plenty OF money, and
they have good crops that are selling at
high prices. After all is said, the agri-
cultural community dictates the real ele-
ments of the country's prosperity, and
while high finance may destroy CON
fdence through sentiment, good COM
mon sense and the good hard money {
the common people will prevail in tx
end. "

UNUSUAL CONDITIONS
CONFRONT MINING
INDUSTRIES

An unusual condition confront tho
mining and smelling industries of this
region, and in discussing it, the first
thing to say is that it is not true that
the smelters here are refusing to pay
cash for the ores they buy. Neither the
Silver King Coalition nor any other
company has made such a statement,
but such inference has been drawn, un
doubtedly, from conditions that have
arisen This was made plain yesterday
in talks with both smelter and mine
managers in this city
Here is the situation: During the
present season the mines of Utah, Ne
vada, Idaho and other sections of the
west have been producing heavier than
at any time i'll the history of mining
The smelling companies have hustled
with all the energy at their command to
meet the requirements of the industry.
and, while their capacities have been
materially increased, manufacturing,
railroad, fuel, labor and other conditions
have been such that it was difficult for
reduction companies to keep even with
receipts of certain classes of ores.
To meet TINS unusual condition of
affairs, the smelling companies have
temporarily urged upon their regular
contracting patrons All easing up i'll the
shipments of certain grades and classes
of ore vita which their plants are
congested
A message from Gold6eld said the
Mohawk had been closed down because
the American Smelling company had re-
fused to pay cash for tile ore. In the
first place the Mohawk and other Ne
vada ores are not purchased by the
smelling companies direct. These es
reach the smelters through the sampling
mills in the Nevada camps which buy
them. BY the time they reach Salt
Lake or the several Other markets i'll
which they are disposed of, they have
lost their identity, SO it would be
impossible TO say that smelling COM
pany had refused 10 pay for Mohawk or
any other ore similarly shipped.
But the statement is made here that
every lot of ore received and accepted IS
being settled for i'll precisely the same
manner that settlements have been made
all the time.
Mine owners and mine managers all
understand the situation thoroughly and
all, 50 far as it is possible to learn, are
inclined to be reasonable aud exercise
business. sense. A man who is largely
interested in some of the biggest prop
ositions in Utah, and i'll Nevada, as well,
stated daring the day that one OF his
Nevada companies had been sending a
great deal of uieirore to Other pc nts, as
the company hore was siIIpiy- unable to
