THE ONLY GROUND

Territorial division is a subject that is attracting many converts. It has merit and will doubtless be the common ground upon which ,he opposing forces can agree t(etchikan Miner.
 This paper is indeed glad to see that the Miner $ coming to it's sen- ses at last on the Territorial Gov arnment question. Division is the only possible way out of the mud dle, and the quicker the papers of the district recognize that such is the case, the better for all concern d. We do not believe that there is a single individual in the whole of Alaska. who is satisfied with conditions as they are, they ALL recognize the insuficiency of the present form of government, but we would be leaving the troubles we have to fly to others that We know not of, if we were to make the change suggested in MT. Wick ersham's bill. One has only to look back at the history of the po- litical conventions in this territory 10 see that Southeastern Alaska would have a little less than no chance at all for justice, as opposed to the two northern districts. They have always dominated everything m the past and would do the same n the future-they would do the playing and we would do the pay ing.
 Let us have the territory divided into two, or even, as Sulzer sug- gests, three districts, let us try the Presidents suggestion of commission, and then later, when It has been shown that the condi- lions are ripe, let us have territori- al government, but let us have that government, so that we can have the possibility of V oice in it's conferences. an impossibility if the whole of Alaska be organized under one head, as one territory. Divi- sion is the common ground on which we can meet, and 1t may be added, the ONLY ground.

SHOWS RICH SPECIMENS
FROM A NEW DISCOVERY


Mr.. c.. H. Mayer came in from Phil.
adelphia Canyon Thursday afternoon
in company with Judge j. s. Parker,
Of Reno, Mr.. Louis Purcell, a well
known newspaper man, and Mr.. w. s.
Wilhelm, general manager Of the
Omaha-Nevada company, says the Bat
tie Mountain Herald.
Mr.. Mayer is one of the lessees on
the property of the Omaha-Nevada
company and brought in with him some
of the most beautiful high grade gold
specimens ever shown in Battle Noun
tain. Competent judges say that the
rock will run from 100000 to $780,
600 per ton. The specimens shown by
Mr.. Mayer are literally half gold and
were taken from the new discovery on
the Omaha-Nevada property IA miles
south of Battle Mountain. This re-
markable ore was taken from a vein
running directly toward the lease own
ed by Mr.. Mayer and at a point only
Is feet from his leased ground. Ma
turally Mr.. Mayer feels that these
great gold rocks taken from such close
proximity to his ground from a vein
striking through his lease is p~ropituous.
II looks all to the good for Mr.. Mayer.
