We will take Kasaan Peninsula on account of the greater amount of de- velopment having been done in that section. I will mention the names of some of the properties visited by myself: Mt. Andrew, Poor Man, It mine, Goodro and Rush and Brown properties. l will say without fear of successful contradiction, that at the time of my visit all had good ore at the lowest working level. The policy seemed to me to be to take out every pound of ore in sight ard let the de- velopment take care of itself.
 When these conditions exist there
 is no just cause to condem country. All we need is capital economically expended along proper mining methods.
 A little further south we have the Niblack property which has been 8 constant shipper for some time, until a year ago, at which time the owners and lessees became unfortunately in- volved in lawsuit and the property closed on that account.
 1 have it from workable authority that the last shipment from the lower level netted the lesssees nearly as great a profit as any former shipment. Pretty good showing so far.
 Mclean Arm District south of Nib- lack is showing up some fine ore. 5hink in the near future this will bo one of the greatest producers of this aountry.
 The south end of Grevena Island will soon take her place as producer, md good one. The Victory Mining ,ompany's property under the able management of MT. P. Heany is show ing large bodies of good ore. I am pleased to say, that the resident man. ager for this is prosecuting work along practical and economic mining methods.
 The management of the It mine are now installing machinery preparatory to sinking and developing this very promising property.
 Mt. Andrew under the management of w. C. Freeburn is now sending ore down the hill to the large bins at the beach pretty lively. The present is warrant enough for us to assume that Mt. Andrew will be a shipper. Observer.

Finds Calumet and Hecla

A paper from Calumet Mich igan prints this interesting story of the dis covery of the greatest copper mine on earth
 Residing with his daughter in Rome, Edwin J. Hubert has the distinction of being not only the discoverer ot the famous Calumet x Hecla copper mine, which have paid $ll0, GOO, 800 in parallel in the worlds history oi mining, but of being the first white person born on Lake Superior and the oldest living pioneer of the region.
 He was born in Fort Brady. Sault Ste. Marie, April 50, 1929, and the son of John Hubert, who had located there in 1913 as butler to the garrison His mother was sister of Henry R. Schoolrcaft, the famous geologst, eX- plorer and etymologist. In the course of time Edwin Hubert removed from the Soo and became mining engineer at the old Cliff copper mine at Tagle river, on the Keweenaw peninsula In 1853 he found specimens of copper rock that had become detached from The now celebrated Calumet conglom- crate lode. He recognized the won derful richness of the vein and set out in search of the formation. For years, however the lode kept it's se- crecy and defied all known methods of exploration. Mr. Hubert expended large amount of money in the inven tion and manufacture of specially de- signed exploring instruments, which he now has in his possession at his home in Italy.
 After years of study, self-sacrifice and expenditure of funds he decided the time for action had come, and he purchased from the government at $l. 25 per acre the land on which the Calumet & Hecla mine now exists. This was in 1860. Mr. Hubert sent his brother, John. and his trusted ex- plorer, Capt. Amos Scott, to open the lode. The men located the place named in the instructions and found it piece of flat wet ground. where there was no evidence of a mound up lift or float rock. Capt. Scott was du- bious regarding the outlook. Never theless they began work at the spot directed and within a short time the operation had resulted in the opening of what has long since been the No. 4 shaft of the Calumet mine. Capt. Scott died a year ago, and John Hubert passed away recently at Detroit. Ed win Hubert is an invalid. His mine long ago passed from his possession, but it is seen to by the interests now in control of the property that he shal l never want

Some Questions Answered

Mir. Editor:
 I have been asked by number of people who have recently returned from the states why so many of our promising mining properties were closed down, and these people say this is the question that has been con- stantly put to them every where.
 l vii ask why so many of the large copper properties all over the United States have been closed for the past two years? Simply on account of the finanical disturbance all over the world. We have had during all through these panicky times two con- tinuous shippers until about q year ago, when one of them was closed or account of litigation, which was nc fault of the mine.

When farmer has a carload. aof hogs for sale, says the Alaska Mining News, and the price is only three cents per pound he must dispose of his hogs if they are ready for market regard less of the price. Grain, of course, can be kept for years if the market is low, but even then there is consider ahle waste owing to an invasion of rats and other conditions. Not so with the miner. If the price of the metals is too low to suit him and he thinks he can make more money by holding on to his product for an advance he can leave the mineral in the vein and he will fiad it there waiting for him whenever he feels that it will be most profitable for him to dig it out.

It is curious little appreciated fact that the prospector is the scout of civ ilization. He braves the savage, the deserts heat, the Arctic's cold. Alone he fearlessly penetrates regions where his foot is the first to trod. It was the pursuit of golden dreams that sustained the weary marches of the Spanish explorers of America. Fol lowing the prospector came the miner, the trader, the cattle raiser, the farmer and homeseeker, says writer CT in current magazine.

The demand for lead has improved, and business in the metal may now be characterized as fairly good for the rst time since prior to the election, according to officials of the American Smelling ard Refining company.
 Not a pound has been sold by the smelling company for less than 1 cents. Some independents have sold small quantities at 3.95 and even 3.90, but these sales have not been of stuff. cient magnitude to affect the market.
 The resumption of active demand has come principally from manufac- turers of cables, conduits, electricai appliances, etc.
 White lead manufacturers have not largely increased their orders. Their purchases remain nearer the same level than those of the other users of the metal, and their commitments are usually made to provide for require ments about four months in advance, for it takes this long to manufacture white lead.
 About month ago the American Smelling and Refining company had about 40. tons of pig lead piled up.
 The Smelling people louk for con- tinued frmness in pig lead. They point out that while the -demand is increasing there can be no counter. acting development in 1.-the way of in creased production for some time t6 come, for at current prices, 4 cents 2 pound for pig lead and 503s cents al ounce for silver, there is little incen tive for reopening the mines, whicf have shut down on account of the low prices for their product.

Minnesota his usefulness as legisla-

| Minnesota his usefulness as a legisla-
 tor would be nil.
 In reply to all such arguments Judge
 Wickersham repudiated the attack on the honor of Senator Nelson, and
 repeatedly gave it out as his belief that the senator from Minnesota was of too broad guage and too good a
 friend of the people of Alaska to place single obstacle in the way of the attainment of beneficial legisla- ton for the people of Alaska, whom soever he might be. The light ol recent events show the high estimate placed by Judge Wickersham on the character of Senator Nelson, and upon his friendship for the Territory of Alaska, to have been the correct one.
 Judge Wickersham recently had oc- casion to call upon Postmaster Gen. eral Hitchcock. Upon entering the ante room to Mir. Hitchcock's office the delegate found Senator Nelson there, and the two immediately en- gagged in conversation, at the conclu sion of which Judge Wickersham left in the full assurance that he would have the most earnest support of the senator in his work in congress in all matters locking to the enactment of all laws beneficial to the territory of Alaska.
 'Judge Wickersham, said Senator Nelson, during the course of the con- versation, II am glad to see you. You have had no reason to look upon me as an ardent personal supporter in the past but I want to help the people of Alaska. From this time on let our old quarrel be buried. We will now begin with a clean slate. 1 will help you in your work for Alaska and if you want my assistance at any time shall be glad to give it to you. Call on me whenever you feel can help you. 2"
 Such was the substance of the con- versation. The kind expression of good will was accepted in that same spirit of honesty in which it was off, cred the hand of friendship was ex- tended and the delegate left in the feeling that a great good service had been accomplished through the i'm promptu meeting.
 Since that time Judge Wickersham has had occasion to call on Senator Nelson more than once, and the most cordial working relation exist between the "represer tative of Alaska in the and the delegate.
 No man in congress has better of the great future loom ing up for Alaska than has Senator Nelson and no man is more willing than he to devote his earnest effort and his time and his attention to the speedy achievement of the highest hopes and ambitions of her people.

Mr. Carnegie is a remarkable man as all the world knows. Starting with- out even the traditional shilling in his pocket, he became one of the richest men in the world, and counts his wealth to-day by hundreds of mil lioni. Most of his money was made out of steel by the aid of scientific tariff. This tariff has had no more strenuous or determined supporter than Mr. Carnegie. To day it has no more determined opponent. The knight of the Skibo declares that pro- tection is no longer necessary for the steel trade of the United States. How sad that so clever man should not have made the discovery earlier. It the Dingley tariff, which received Mir. Carnegie's ''practial" support, had never been passed the multi-million- aires fellow countrymen would have paid something like two billion dollars
 less for their steel during the last twenty years. MT. Carnegie is just little too late to gain any "kudos' for his announcements he simply con- firms the opinion which the world has formed long ago, that he is blatant humbug. Victoria Week.
