It is for the public interest that the President should swing round the cir cle of states. No President of the United States has set foot on Alaska. If President Taft can find time to make personal observation of that still neglected part of the national domain he will perform public service by making the trip. It is desirable that the president should attend the en- campment of the Grand Army, the Trans-Mlssissippi conference, the Na- tional Irrigation Council, the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition. It is desir- able that he should see and be seen by the people in various sections of the country And the expenses of public service of this nature should be met from the public funds, as provision is made for any other expenditure in the service. There has been lot of foolishness about the presidential tra- yelling expenses which is not to the credit of the public or of those who thus appeal to it's opinion. Boston Heral1.

practically an encyclopedia of the en- tire subject of copper. The Copper Handbook now circulates in every country that has postage stamp of its own, and is claimed, by the pub- fisher, without recorded contradiction, to enjoy the largest circulation of any mining annual printed in any language. Anyone interested in copper, or cop. per shares, can we'll afford to write Mir. Stevens, ordering copy of the Copper Handbook, without advance payment and subject to approval after a weeks inspection.

'No person has ever been author ized to demand or receive money or any other consideration or promise, beyond that of faithful discharge of duty, from individuals seeking employ ment with the United States Geologi- cal Survey"
 This is statement made by the Director of the Survey, written in answer to an inquiry as to whether one D. F. Coble had been authorized to hire assistants for Alaskan serv ice and to require deposit of $65 from each as a guaranty that he would stay with the work throughout the season.
 The name of the United States Gov ernment is occasionally used to ob- tain money under false pretenses, but the Federal ramification is so eXten- sive and interrelated that the risk of detection is great, and such operations are usually short-lived, as in this case. The offender, Coble, came to Okland, Ca., from Vancouver, B. C., with his unique scheme for obtaining money from young men who would be attract held by an offer of a good position and a trip to Alaska. His r ans were care fully lad. He hired an office at Oak land, forged letters of authorization in Director Smiths name, had letter. heads and blanks printed, and even en- gagged steamship berths to Al ska to lend color to the scheme. Thirty men answered his nev aper advertisements to go to the Territory at $6O month and found" but unfortunately for him, one of the thirty was an astute mem- ber of the Oakland detective force. Coble was all ready to receive the de- posits when the Oakland au hO ities interfered. They had telegraph ed to the office of the Survey in S"o Fran cisco anl to the Dir or At Wa a'hing- ton, and as a result of he informa- tion received, Mr. Coble was trans ferred to the city j il, where he is at present awaiting the ac' on of the Fed eral grand ju y and is facing pro- bable St n ,ence of Sl, 000 fine or three years imprisonment or both. His arr r ,st was most timely, as it appeared that on the following day he would h.ve collected the money and departed for M exico.

MINING TALK
Senator Stewart Talks of Early Mining Laws. Work in
 the Senate

The death of former Senator Will
 liam M. Stewart recently, recalls one
 of his latest public ut erances which dealt with mines and mining affairs.
 In referance to the early passage ot
 the mining law he said:
 II had great fight when I came
 to Washington. Such fight I never
 expect to have again; but that is not material to this case. They proposed to sell the mines at auction to pay the national dept during the war. A man named Julian was chairman of the committee on public land. He was a very able man, and was elected twice in Indiana on that platform. We had a very lively fight keeping the mines open to exploration and development.
 The mining laws may be amended, but it is pretty hard to do it. They have kept the mines open for explora- tion, and they ought to be. They had better be on the public land open for exploration, because nobody will sub- init themselves to the hardships and privations necessary to find mines for money. You cannot hire men to find mines. The miner is full of hope. He is an enthusiast. He will spend h1s whole lifetime in looking for mines. He may never find anything, but you have an army of them out, and they will stay out if you let them be free, and give them a chance. I think there is nothing like giving them a chance to ind mines, and they can if you will keep them open. In Mexico they have gone so far as to keep them open all the time. By the theory of the law there you can go right into mans dooryard and open a mine; but they have sort of custom that if they do il they shall make some negotiations with the owner Of the land, to let them in, etc. So they get along in that way. Americans have gone there dis the secret customs, they have got killed, and we have had some little trouble with Mexico about that matter. But there the mines are open to exploration and development, no matter if the whole land is in private hands, and they intend to keep it. When thes esrailroad grants were passed there was a reservation of lands. Sn the supreme court, I believe, decided that after patent was issued the land belonged to the railroad. The railroad does not want it. A whole lot of our mines are on railroads. So the rail roads had better adopt the Mexican plan and let anybody who finds mine announce it. The railroads do not want them"

The eighth annual edition of the Copper Handbook, just issued by the author, Mir. Horace J. Stevens, Of Houghton, Michigan is at hand. It is an octave volume of 1500 pages and contains one-half more matter than the preceding edition which had |, 22S pages.
 The principal chapter of the book devoted to detailed descriptions of the copper mines of the globe, has 1,1S5 pages, descri ping no less than 6,767 copper companies, in all parts of the world, comparing with 4,627 listed in the preceding edition. This long chap ter, which was unrevised in volume VII, owing to fire, accident and ill., ness, has been completely rewritten, even the obituaries of the defunct com panies having been improved by tho addition of neat verbal tombstones.
 Copper is considered under great variety of heads, in the preliminary chapters of the book, these giving, in non- techincal but correct language, a vast amount of information treating of the geology and mineralogy of copper and copper ores, with chapters de. voted to mining, milling, smelling, teaching and refining, and yet other chapters treating of the history of metal brands, grades, substitutes and uses. The very complete glossary of mining terms is reprinted from Vol. VII. The hnal chapter. devoted to statistics, is the most complete and commodious given in any work dealing with the subject whether issued offic- ially or privately, and it's authority has been recognized officially and by the copper trade.
 It is rarely that single work is found of such general importance to such great diversity of interest as is the Copper Handbook, which is

 The article is sensational and is causing wholesale comment.

Juneau, May 4-Acting under the orders of United States Marshal Shoup, his deputies late yesterday afternoon arrested thirty Japanese seal poachers and seized their fishing schooner off the coast of Sitka, with the aid of other United States marshals.
 Indie ations point positively to the Japs having been following the herd of seals which have been passing northward for the past few weeks.
 A Sitka message to Mir. Shoup says thirty Japanese have been arrested and their boat taken. A hearing has been given the poachers and they admit having ten sealskins aboard, but claim they were taken off the coast of Japan.
 A search will be instituted at once and it is expected that many skins will be found aboard.
 Advices from Biorka island and tes- timony from. eye witnesses show that Japs have been illegally sealing off the coast of that island. Recently killed ducks have also been found in their possession.
 The evidence shows conclusively that the Japanese have been indis- criminately violating the navigation laws and wholesale arrests may be looked for.

Seattle, May 6-Would you like to have nice easy job at the Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition, which opens in Seattle June l? To be sure you would. All right, what kind? Expo sition guard? File your application with MT. Wappenstein. Yours is num- ber 10, 4s2. Will you get job? Well, really now, can't promise you any thing, for there will be 40 guards on the Fair grounds, and those ten thousand four hundred and eighty applications must be considered first. No, I hardly think you will get the job.
 Never in the city of Seattle has anyone been so swamped with applica- tions for work as have the officials of the Alaska Yukon Picifc exposition. It seems that about half of the adult population of the state wants to work at the fair, and all of the youngsters. Applications come in by every mail and the offices of the exposition are crowded with office seekers. They want all sorts of jobs, anything in fact that will entiue them to season pass. Money, in most cases, is no object. They want work at the exposition, if they have to pay for the privilege. And some of the applicants take their failure to obtain work quite philoso- phcally, and walk into the treasurers office to obtain season tickets, which can be had for ten dollars if bought before the opening day.
 Some Of the applicants are not so easily disposed Of, but keep on coming day after day, demand vigorously a personal interview with some over- worked department chief, present letters from all sorts of people, en- dorsements by political clubs, church societies or petty politicians, and only finally give up in disgust with firm belief that they are the victims of lack of "pull'', or that there is some "graft" connected with this eXposi- tion business. They do not realize that the responsible positions at an exposition must be filed by experi- enced men of known ability, who are specialists in their lines, and that for the unskilled positions there are fifty applications on file for every job, and many of them have been assigned weeks ago.
 During the last six months there have been at all times between two
 
 and three thousand men at work on the fair grounds, many of them em- ployed by contractors. All employees have been we'll paid, and will be, al- though the exposition could get it's labor very cheaply if it took advant age of the wild scramble for jobs. But there is little chance today for the young man who comes to Seattle be- cause he believes there will be hun dreds of jobs around the exposition Every position is. already spoken for by scores of applicants. The exposi- tion is sparing no pains to secure con- potent employees who will minister to the care and comfort of visitors.
