EXPLORER THINKS HE
 IS A MARINE 100000

Capt. Mikklesen, the Arctic ex- plorcr, who was passenger on the Saratoga when she struck the reef, is beginning to fear that he is a hoodoo. As mariner in his native waters he had two sea accidents; then when he became an explorer he lost his ship in Arctic ice; and when he descended from the Saratoga into life boat the rudder of the boat almost immediate ly broke off.
 But when the lifeboat rudder was lost Capt. Mikklesen showed that he was good for something. The boat swain was unable to control the boat with an oar and the captain took his place and steered without trouble.

THAT JUDICIAL DIVISION.

Nobody in congress is opposed to the partition of the Fourth judicial division of Alaska. The president, the attorney-general, the governor of the territory profess to be supporting 1t, and it has been agreed all around to pass the bill as an immediate ne- cessity. As an active movement to that end the house judiciary commit tee has set report on the measure:a month ahead. At that rate it will die on the calendar when the present congress expires next March.
 It looks as if somebody in power in congress or in the executive end of the government is juggling the Alas ka judicial bill for political purposes. Maybe the president or the speaker of the house has promised the patron age of the new division to about 985 men to get votes for somebody in the republican national convention. It seems certain that the bill is condom- ned to drift with the current.

Large Nugget on Display.

One of the northland's largest mug gets of gold is now on display at the Valdez Bank & Mercantile Company. It is as fine q specimen of this element as is usually refined in naturc's labar- atory. It is flat in shape, inches long, 3-4 inches wide, and varying in thickness from a half to three fourths inches. It's intrinsic value is $l.5O0, but as specimen would readi- ly command over $2,OOO. The nugget is the property of J. l.. Sale, q jewell CT of Dawson and Fairbanks, who re- gently arrived in Valdez.

SQUEEZING COPPER DOWN.

The statement in the cable dispatch es that the surplus refined copper sup ply has shrunk 100, ,OOO, 900 pounds be- low the normal reserve of refined cop per confirms the belief that has been growing steadily for several months that the copper trust has been beat ing down the price of copper to de- press the market value of copper stocks. Incidentally also the trust is probably getting :long on copper in the stock exchange and when it has squeezed copper stocks and refined copper to the limit it will relieve the pressure from both and begin to har- vest profits from both sources.
 When the price of refined copper goes up the market quotations on the stocks of copper companies will also rise, and the copper trust, being long on both without doubt, will add prodigiously to it's already plethoric wad. The octopus has tentacles enough to reach in several directions at once.
 
 means increased prosperity to Alas ka, which is becoming recognized as the coming chief source of supply for the world. Most of the important copper fields have reached their max imum of output. The demand for re- fined copper is growing more rapidly than all other sources of supply are likely to be able tomeet. This places the balance of demand upon Alaska and in that condition lies great prom ise of increased prosperity to the ter ritory.
 Alaska, like the rest of the country, is suffering, though in less degree, from tight money market and In- dustrial depression, but it will un- doubtedly recover more quickly, The only handicap to Alaska in present conditions is the difficulty of getting large capital for industrial develop ment. But Alaska will get d large aggregate of money from small in vestors who come here personally with their savings. Alaska and the Yukon first became known to the world during the period of worst f. nancial depression the United States has known in half a century. Men with small savings turned to mining in the north because they could not get employment in the states.
 The same condition prevails today, though it is less aggravated. The glamor of placer mining in the far north is worn off and fewer helpless tcnderfeet will come, but prospecting and development of both gold and copper deposits offer the same in ducement to capable men as ever and high prices for copper will stimulate both.

AIDS TO NAVIGATION.

Within less than two years two total wrecks upon the naked shores of Alaska, each in charge of an ex- perienced and able navigator, under circumstances which no sea captain could circumvent, because no light house or buoy marked the danger line.
 Eighteen months ago the Oregon re- ceived her death blow OH rocky headland of Hinchinbrook island, running slowly in dense fog which made it impossible to distinguish the agaiust it. Capt. Soule was exonera- ted because of the hard circumstan- ces of the case. A lighthouse any where on the south end of the island would have given him his bearings after he had been running for several hours practically on dead reckoning.
 Today the Saratoga hangs hopeless wrecked on submerged reef be- side the steamer channel out of Ella mar when buoy would have shown
 
 would not now be mourning the loss of his ship after more than twenty years of sea navigation without an accident. Caught with the shore line invisible by sudden snow squall in a narrow, reef-strewn passage, the tide left him no choice but to run on dead reckoning, because a slow bell would have left the steamer at the will of the currents. A buoy would have saved the vessel.
 The British Columbia coast is marked at.evcry dangerous point with an aid to navigation. Lighthouses, automatic lighting buoys, whistling buoys --- every device to protect the mariner.
 The American coast has next to none. Agitation enough of the case has come from shipping men and Alaska travellers but congress in it's pursuit of the cheese pairing industry eliminates the demands of the Alaska coast from every appropriation bill. And these watchdogs of the treasury are the same fellows who have squan- dered half a billion on q worse than useless tropical plantation in the Ori- ent. The American government money burned in the Philippines and Cuba would have lighted the Pacific coast of the country like a city street from San Diego to Dutch Harbor.

George Barrack Married

George Barrack, the famous mining magnate of Latouche island, was mar ried to Mrs. Margaret May Worthey of Valdez March 19 at the home of MT. and Mrs. Harold A. Duke. The couple sailed on the Yucatan for Latouche, where they will spend 6 few days at Mir. Barracks county seat, and they will then go outside on the Northwestern for wedding tour.
 The boys ought to have been let in on this before but Harry Duke was sworn to temporary secrecy and only gave up the story when he came to get the wedding cards printed.

To Study Botany Tin Alaska

Seattle, ,-Dr. T. o. Frye, head of the botanical department of the uni versity of Washington, is to conduct a botanical field trip to Alaska next summer, taking with him party of school teachers. Heretofore the work of the department in the summer ses- sion has been confined to the waters of Puget sound, centering in and about Friday harbor. This year the party will make excursions to the in- land mountains, glaciers and to the mines along the seashore.
