HOME RULE.

Today's telegraphic dispatches bring the news that Congressman Sulzer, the best friend Alaska. has in the House of Representatives, will en- deavor to bring the question of home rule for Alaska before the democratic national convention, with. the object of having incorporated in the platform of the party a plank which will de- claye for that form of government for the territory. It is hardly possibl that Mir. Sulzer will be successful in his efforts, so many questions of great CT weight to the people of the nation requiring the attention of the conven- tion, but the very fact that he vii make the effort will do lot towards aovancing the doctrine. -Fairbanks Weekly News.

GOVERNMENT INSPECTION OF
 MINERAL LAND:.

What promises to be one of the most
 important actions of Secretary of the
 interior Garfield, as affecting the
 minerai intersets of the west, is the
 decision he gave in the latter part of
 May regarding tue inspection of min eral lands by government agents.
 The credit for this action is given to Lewis F. Aubury, state mineralo- gist of California. as it was at his suggestion that the conference was called by Secretary Garfield of the following officials: Chief Forester Clifford Pinchot, Commissioner of the. General Land Office. Fred Dennett,
 Director Smith of the United States Geological Survey, Director Newell of the Reclamation Service, and Mr. Aubury.
 The first matter considered was the patenting of mineral claims in forest reserves. Mr. Auoury stated that cases had been brought to his atten- tion where patents .had been applied for mineral lands in the reserves, and that the owners of the claims had as- serted that forest assistants who were not qualified to pass upon the mineral character of the lands had turned the applications down. Mr. Aubury calltd to the attention of the Forest service the stupendous attempts at fraud to s cure by placer nipcr,l locations large tracts of timber land iL the Plumas California forest reserves.
 When the matter of reports oi ex- aminations made by special agents of the General Land Office on mineral lands was taken up, MT. Aubury said: ''Give us practical men to report upon and appoint them from the state or territory where examinations are to be made, and l believe we will have no further trouble. Western men for western positions l believe will solve the problem.
 In the complaints made to the Cali i fornia State Mineralogist by many miners it has been asserted that gov agents had refused to coI- sider as mineral ground any which did not show pay ore practically fl n the commencement of development. Such an unjust decision against the miner is apparent to anyone having mining experience, for in prcbab y D per cent. of the the mines whil b nave been opened in the west, thous- snds Of dollars have been expended in development before lore in yaying quantities has been discovered,

A SUNDAYS OUTING.

lSung by the quartette, Dale Hunt, Fremont King, Charley Ball and Mr. Busch on the quarter deck of the launch Takn.) Oh let us leave the city's heat,
 Its fripperies and formalities, And place once more our weary feet On natures actualities. We'll turn from fashions mimic trains, . Its aping arts, it's high disdain, And -bathe our tired hearts and brains On primitive realities. They turned from fashions mimic
 trains,
 And sought the calm rusticity Of Karta Bay and adjoining plains, Disburdened of publicity: But horse lies marked them for their
 prey,
 And down their backs the whole
 long day, The caterpillars wound their way
 Tn sinuous eccentricity. And when beneath some arbor snug, They'd lie in thoughtful reyery, The humble bee and tumble bug, Would come with fiendish deviltry, While daddy-long-Iegs run a race, And march in military pace Across each scared and blistered face, In wild, tumultuous revelry. And while the warm breeze from the
 south,
 Tapped them in dreams elysian, A frog would leap in some ones mouth With acrobat precision; A woodchuck bit one on the nose. The weasels chewed up all their hose, The snakes craw led through their nn-
 derclothes
 In wandering indecision. They lay there on that fertile plain The city's strain to calm off, 4 wolf sneaked up to Charley Ball, And nearly bit his arm off. They all then rose with murderous will And hied for home to seek the skill 1 Of all the doctors on the hill To take those big red blotches off.

"Were such decision to be up- held, ' said Mir. Aubury, tive might as well quit mining. In many dis tricts, and particularly in the state of-Nevada, are bodies of ore far below the surface, and wh ch. show no sign of mineral on top. It is necessary for the miner to sink expensive shafts and crosscut before these ore bodies can be uncovered. But Nevada is ex- tremely fortunate in that there are no valuable growths of timber upon the surface: neither are there small por- tions of the ground upon which few vegetables.might be grown, thus giv- | lag an opportunity to fla scrip, timber. homestead or agricultural en- try upon the miners ground. In Cal fifornia, conditions are different; like wise, in few other western states, but while the government applies one rule to Nevada, Arizona or Uatn, this ruling is not observed in other vest ern states.
 l Mir. Aubury also called the attention of Comm issioner Dennett to the action of homestead entries on mineral ground particularly to those entries which had been made upon the ancient river channels of California and which had furnished the chief source of t @ placer gold that has ;dded so many
 
 millions of dollars to the wealth of the nation. Special agents had report ed favorably on homestead entries against the miner, notwithstanding the decision of Secretary Garfield made in May, 1907, in favor of the miner.
 The course of these channels is plainly marked. Their surfaces are covered with lava and entirely unfit for cultivation or grazing in most in- stances. They carry large volumes of water, and it is necessary for the miner to run long and expensive bed rock tunnels to tap the gold bearing gravel, yet homestead and other en- tries have been filed upon and over the miners claims, and while they were prosecuting the work upon their tunnels endeavoring to reach the gravel they could not prove to the special agents that the land was min eralized, and notwithstanding the good faith shown by the miners, de- cisions have been made against them. MT. Auhury cites one case where upwards of $50, GOO had been expended by the miner in running long bed rock tunnel, and he was prosecuting work upon it when a timber and stone entry was filed over the miners claims. Thanks to Secretary Gar field, his decision reversed that of the Commissioner of the General Land Office who had decided in favor of the timber and stone entry.
 H undreds of cases of discrimination against the miner can be found in our 1 western states or territories. and this has been brought about by the mis- representation of the laws by special agents. Mining World

OPEN TO QUESTION.

A careful analysis of the situation
 ought to he sufficient to convince tbe friends of local self government in
 Alaska that they will be wholly justi- fled in preferring the candidacy of any one of the half dozen getlemen in the field for congress in preference to that of Judge James Wickersham. The re- cord of that gentleman, on this par : ticular question, unless qualified to
 some extent by more recent campaign utterances not yet made public throughout the territory, has not been such as to comm end him to their
 favorable consideration; on the other
 hand, it has been such as to commend him to the most pronounced opponents of any proposed measure of popular home rule. It is tr1e that his speech on Alaska day, at Fairbanks, was heralded abroad as declaration OH his part in favor of territorial govern ment, whereas it afterward appeared
 to have been nothing more an than ex- tra-judicial opinion that Alaska was already aterritory in form and sub stance, lacking only one essential feature-tbat of the law making branch. It now appears that he has all along been opposed to any form of government from which that essential featurs-that of an elective legislature was not carefully eliminated. In- deed, in his speech. announcing his candidacy for delegate, in the first in- stance, he referred to his Alaska day speech, and reiterated his assertion

 many instances the men engaged in
 party work got the passes directly; in others the railroads han ded over to
 the committees large bundles of free
 transportation to be used at their dis
 cretion. But the pass is rapidly be-
 coming as extinct as the dodo It is
 expressly tabooed by the federal stat
 ute. so far as interstate traffic is con-
 cerned and many of the states have
 passed laws, modelled on the federal
 law, putting it under the ban for in-
 terstate traffic. Thus the treasurers of
 the respective campaign committees
 are under the necessity of raising a
 small fortune to defray the travelling
 expenses of the spellbinders and hun dreds of other people who will be kept
 racing hither and thither across the SOuhtiy Oh POiitlSol DuSfDCSSs It IS estimated that not less than $50, GOO
 will suffice to defray the travelling ex- penses of the men who will be en- ployed in the republican campaign, and approximately the same expendi- ture will be necessary by the Demo- crats. With the purse strings of pre- ,-ia k,.:h h,.,
 paign funds drawn pretty tight this year, and.with the proposed publicity of campaign funds also entering in to disturb the usual conditions, this prospective additional drain on the campaign treasuries is untimely and to meet it is going to cost the com mittees much worry.
