W|CKERSHAM MEN
 SURE 0F VICTORY

Fairbanks, July 2S-Jamcs Wicker sham is on his way to Nome where he is to. take the delegate fight into the camp of John Corson. Wicker sham has challenged Corson to meet him in joint debate in Nome and pur- poses forcing Corson to joint discus sion of every issue of the campaign.
 Wickersham's trip down the creeks was the occasion of the greatest re- ception ever accorded candidate in Alaska. He talked to big crowds in every place he visited and returned to Fairbanks Saturday bringing with him assurances of strong support. Saturday night Fairbanks turned out en maSSc, the occasion being q big Wickersham ratification meeting.
 Since the departure of Corson noth- ing is heard here concerning him, other than what is published by his own paper, the News. Roman went to:Fox City Friday night and it is re- ported from there that the miners jccrcd at him because of his promi- ncnce in trying to break up the mi ncr's union.
 Wickersham has received from all the Yukon river points telegrams as surfing him of sweeping majorities from the precincts of that loca lity.

 TREATY WITH J. 5.

Washington, July 21-Thc depart ment of state today received from Japan notice that the emperor has ratified the arbitration treaty be- tween that country and the, United States. Negotiations to this effect have been under way for some time but it was feared that the recent diff fcrences concerning the violations of the immigration law might block proceedings.
 The ratification of the treaty will it is believed, set at rest all agitation with regard to the immediate possi- bility of war between thisJ country and Japan.

ARMY AND NAVY
 ID MAKE LAND DRY

Chicago, July 27-Strcnuous times may be expected in the event of the election to the presidency of Eugene w. Chafn, nominee on the prohibi- tionist ticket. MT. Chafn's inten- tions in case of his success at the polls, as outlined in his speeches, provide for tho utilization of the army and the navy to enforce the prohibi- tion laws he will have congress pass.
 My plan, in case of my clcction," declares MT. Chain, "is to have con- gross pass immediately the most stringent prohibition law that can be devised, this law to apply to every state and territory over which the United States has jurisdiction. The law will provide for proper methods of enforcement under ordinary con- ditions but if these fail shall, by the power invested in me as president, uso the army, the navy and the state militia to bring to a state of obedience the rebelliOus communities"

MOVEMENT UNDER WAY
 TO HAVE TOWN CLOCK

IT. l.. Stnll is starting movement to bring about the purchase of q town clock to be installed at tho fire house. So far Mir. Stull has met with appreciation of his purpose and he believes that tho movement will be successful as everyone with whom he has talked agreed that town clock that will strike the hour in tones audible in all parts of tho town will go far to remedy the present inabil- ity to have any two watches or clocks point to the same hour at the same time.
 MT. Stull's idea is to arrange an entertainment and dance and then if necessary add by public subscription to the fund thus raised. He is desir- ous of having all those who are will ing to take part in an entertainment so notify him and in day or so ox- poets to have a committee formed to take active participation in the movement.

 MT. Levy has had in contemplation for some time the move now under way. He expects to be able to get away on the next departure date of the Yucatan. During his residence in Valdez MT. Lovy has always taken an active interest in public affairs and his decision to seek another field of endeayor is the cause of regret on the part of his friends and acquain- tances.

.BRAHAN'S CLAIM
 SHOWS UP WELL
Work on Long Glacier Copper Property Proves it to Be
 Vast Deposit

Serenely confident that he has what Is destined to be the biggest and rich. est copper property in the interior of Alaska, John Brahan is in town from the Kotsina. Brahan's property was discovered by him last year and at that time it was generally admitted by those who saw it to be "good prospect" now, however, these same persons have no doubt as to the mag nitude of the mine, for it is no longer prospect.
 Brahan's property is located on Long dlacier stream, tributary of the Kotsina and is about three miles up the former stream. It is just across the valley from the Hubbard and FL liott property. Brahan has found copper for distance of ,OOO feet and mineralized rock is abundant for another 1000 feet. The ore runs to chalcopyrite, bornite and native cop per and Brahan believes that it will average eight per. cent straight through. He says that it is the same kind of formation as is found in Butte. rhyolite running through stratified rock and carrying gold and silver.
 Brahan brought out quantity of samples and is to have assays made. He will return in the fall, and perhaps earlier.

WORK IN CANYON
 PROGRESSES FAST

Work on the Nelson Contract to make road through the rock walls Of Keystone canyon has progressed so far that wagon can go nearly half way through. The vertical wall at the first sharp turn of the canyon from the lower end and another just beyond have been blasted out. These walls were untouched by the railroad grading both of the Copper River x Northwestern and the Alaska Home Railway. Beyond them the railroad grade was nearly complete for half Il mile and men are scattered along the roadway ahead. Nearly 100 men are now employed by Nelson.
 When this canyon road is completed good trail will be in condition for travel summer and winter. Hereto fore the canyon could be traversed only while the river was frozen- about four months of the year, and all travel in the summer has been over the hill trail, a difficult path available only for pack horses and fOotmen.
 Toward the summit Superintendent Ingram has sixty men employed upon q new road which will cut out the switchback and Icy Point. It will be several miles longer than the present route but will have an easy grad and better time can be made over it. The entire trail to the summit will be transformed into road and the re- duction of grade will make freighting far easier.
 Besides the work through Keystone canyon and up the south slope of the summit other improvements on the Fairbanks trail are in progress which will be a great help to the stages and enable them to make better time. The trail between Pollard's and Pax toms is being improved and a road made down the Big Delta, two of the worst sections of the old line.

Fairbanks, July 24-Therc was a record breaking attendance at the meeting held last night at Cleary crock by John Roman, the democratic candidate for delegate. After hearing him come out flatfooted for q 5O-per cent reduction in freight rates, and for labor lien law, those who have been antagonstic to him promised their support.
 Romans evident sincereity and hon. esty made q great hit with the miners and it seems certain that he will car. ry the Tanana by large vote. His franknoss in dealing with the labo, question has made him friends among operators and among laborers as well
