The Governor should have his "At Homen cards out for Juneau for early in May.

ohn Phillips. Zone of the victims of Ed Hasey's rifle craftsmanship in the Keystone canyon, filed an action in the district court today against the Copper River & North hwestren Railway Company, George c. Hazelet and Ed ward c. Hasey asking judgement of S25, 900 damages on account of the wound received by Phillips from one of Hasey's shots.
 Phillips is the man for whose wound- ing Hasey was convicted and sen- fenced recently in the district court at Juneau. He was shot in the right hip as he was retreating to retire from the canyon after Hasey began the gun play. Philips was confined in the hospital at Valdez for several weeks after the shooting and was per- manently crippled by the shot. He has been unable to perform severe manual labor since he was wounded and Dr. Boyle states that he will never be able to do hard work. He is unable to endure severe strain upon his back either by stooping or lifting. Valdez Prospector.

only when such absence had the sane tion of the Department
 That order covered Governor Hog gait equally with Governor Curry and Kibbey and all the rest of the terri torial clans who were won't to make their permanent residence at the na tional capital. paying an occasional carpet bag visit to their headquarters :: in fact it might be whispered here eror Hoggatt had considerable of the thought of the Department where his long continued residence away from the seat of government in Alas ka was not looked upon with any great degree of favor.
 But Governor Hoggatt had just eX- perienced the joy of becoming a father; the little Lady Hoggatt was but few days old, aud travel to the great, black. barren, unknown wilder ness of the Northland meant danger to the life of the infant and was not to be hinted at. So throwing the baby into the breach in his heretofore impregnable position, the governor besought the Department to allow him to remain in the East until such time as the little miss might be strong enough to toddle along the pathway of life without the sire's parental solci- tude and care, and the ''baby act" was worked so insistently and so earn estly that the Department reluctantly granted the request, giving the gover- nor permission to remain away from his official home a short time longer.
 And that is how the order did not affect Governor Hoggatt, and that is how Governor Hoggatt, was immune.
 The governors respite is but a very short one, however. His commit ment' to the Territory of Alaska still stands and he must shortly begin ser wing is sentence of exile and give him. self the unique pleasure of drawing his pay envelope without blush, ir the consciousness that while he has accomplished nothing of good for Alaska to earn the salary, his activi- ties have been so limited by the De- partment that he may console himself for change that he did no great harm to the interests ot the Territory

A project has been started in ketch- ikan to arrange a sporting exhibit for the A. Y. r. E.. The object of this exhibit will be to attract the sportsmen of the country to our unsurpassed ad- vantages for hunting and fishing. It has been suggested that three large glass jars, each of several gallons capacity,
 be filled with salmon, halibut and trout, and large photographs to repre- sent the methods of fishing and hunt ing be arranged in an attractive man. ner. Seins, nets, traps and even guns
 may be added to complete the picture and the whole displayed ip such man. ner as to give an instantaneous inn pression of the sport to be had here.
 A public meeting has been called for 8 o'clock tomorrow evening at the council chamber, at which time the matter will be more fully discussed.

Washington D. C.-Lest Governor
 Hoggatt, of Alaska, be placed il
 false light before the people O the Territory in the matter of his sojourn at the nations capital, ir the face of the orders promulgated by the Department of the Interior ex'
 pressly prohibiting absence of terri torial officials from their headquart. CTS, except for urgent reasons, which must have the approval of the Depart.
 ment head an explanation of the reason for his absence will be 8 point in order at this time.
 Governor Hoggatt says that the or- der recently issued by Secretary Ball
 inger does not apply to him." say the Alaskan papers under Washington date line of March 25th. The story appears in one paper under the cap tion: 'Hoggatt says he is immune. U The governor has good press agent here in Washington. The story goes on: 'The Governor says he will re- main in Washington three weeks longer.' He will. He will indeed. That is correct. But it is the only correct statement in the story.
 Since the convenlng of the special session of congress every state and territory in the union has been crying out for the protection of its infant in- dustres. Alaska was among the num- Der, Delegate James Wickersham fighting as earnestly as anyone for the protection of the infant coal industry by the retention of the duty of CT cents per ton, which the Payne bill eliminated, but which will probably be revised in the Senate. We of Alaska however, also had the pleasure of witnessing the unique spectacle of an infant ndustriously bawling out for the protection of its sire. And not only bawling out Justify for such pro- tection, but meeting with great CT need of success than attended the efforts of many of cur great statesmen in the lower house of congress. It was one of the greatest "baby acts" every pulled off in politics in the capital and we take off our hat to the kid.
 On March 7th Governor Hoggatt became the proud daddy of beauti- ful, bouncing baby girl. Shortly thereafter Secretary of the Interior Ballinger promulgated his famous or der that all territorial officials take their station at the capital of the re- spective territories and there remain unless grave reasons existed for their iourneying away from home, particu- larly to the national capital, and then

workings in all parts of the famous mining camps, are to be treated and made to yield up their elusive parti- cles of gold. From this worthless rock' will be extracted within the next few years millions of dollars.
 New processes for the treatment of low grade telluride ores are responsi- hle for this coming reJuvenation. In the early days of the camp ore that did not run S20 to the ton could not be proftably treated, and even in the last few years it has been necessary to discard all that would not run 8, S6 or SS a ton. Now it is proposed to treat, in large quantities, ore that runs as low as S1. 90 to S2 and make a comfortable profit. For years metal- lurgists all over the world have been trying To discover processes which would make this possible: only lately have they succeeded.
 The first authoritative announce ment of these new processes was made
 in the annual report of President F. G. Peck of the Portland Gold com pany when he told of discoveries made by the company's metallurgist making possible the successful treatment, without roasting, of the low grade l telluride ores. This announcement was followed shortly by that of Gen. eral manager H. McGarry of the old en Cycole that his experts expect to solve the problem of low grade treat ment in the concentrating plant, now under construction at the mine, in when a dry concentrating process takes the place of modified cyanide process, the concentrates being treat ed at tho Colorado City mill.
 The general adoption of these new processes will bring about new era in which mills and concentrating plants will be erected at the mines. thus saving transportation charges, which in the past have been a prohii, tive item in tte treatment of the lowest grade of ores. The Portland will patent its processes and erect 8 zoo ton mill to treat it's millions oi tons of dump rock and low grade ore. Some time ago Stratton's IDdepen. dence, erected a mill at the mine, 1 which has been successful in treating low grade ores. Other mines will follow suit. and many non producers and idle shafts will be enabled to work at a profit. The significance of these discoveries can hardly be appreciated, for they will revolutionize ore treat. ment in every camp in the worlc where telluride ores are found. IT Cripple Creek alone they will be the means of retaining millions of dollars
