The Ketchikan miner., 1909-04-03

The one al-absorbing topic of con- versation in the Tanana Valley for the past month has been quartz, and the possibilities of the numerous pro- missing prospects that have been found materializing into mines. To shed whatever light it can on the question the tairk banks Tribune has published recent issue devoted principally to the hard rock question. While the re- suits of the reporters investigation of the different properties have not en- titled him to predict positively that Fairbanks will in the near future rival Leadville in it's boom days, he 1 learnt enough to convince him that l the work done on number oi tho claims has advanced beyond the mere prospect stage and that there is every reason to believe that Fairbanks will shortly be handling sufficient ore to be entitled to rank as quartz camp.
 While 1t has always been the accep ted fact in hard rock inning that promising leads do not always develop into paying mines it can conservatives ly be stated that on some of the pro- perties, notably those of Skoogey, Chatham and the Bonnifield country the work mas progressed beyond the experimental stage, and that it will be but short time before ore from these claims will regularly be shipped for crushing.

 This is another mine that is going to make people take notice when il gets under full operation, and the large shipment of supplies would indi- cate that the operation was going tc begin right away and on full capa- city scale.

Prof. c. Jones who left Ketchkan recently has located at Cordova, from which place he has written an inter- esting letter to Mr. Fred Cox, part of which we print below:
 ''I arrived here on the Bertha and also brought Jimmie Wishart with me. He intended to stop at Juneau but could not see anything that looked good to him there so he came on with me. We got here at d. m. and I went to work playing at the Cordova saloon that night at S1 per hour and six hours guaranteed, and am playing yet. Prof. Hepburn who gave show in Ketchikan two years ago, is playing | piano for me. Jimmie is on the grave yard shift at the McCormac Hotel and has the work from 12 midnight to a. m. at $5 per shift.
 Cordova is going to be the town of Alaska this year. The Railway con- pany has about one thousand men at work now and the Northwestern came in last night with l90 men for the road. Working on the road is hard graft, for it consists of shoveling snow, and the wind off the Childs glacier blows at the rate of sixty miles an hour, so it is impossible to do a good days work.
 The common laborers get 30 cents per hour and work from ten to sixteen hours per day. Out of that they have to pay $l.05 per day for board and ! S2. 50 per month for hospital fees. As the wind blows quite frequently they about average four days work out of the week, consequently the men that are shipped in here are very much dissatisfied and quite a number are quitting every day. Mr. O'Brien is from Fairbanks, having been engaged in the saloon business there for several years, and Mr. Simpson is an old tim CT in this country. 1 knew him in Valdez and Seward. They run the swellest place in Cordova. The wealth. CT is very mild but there is about four feet of snow on the level It has showed and rained alternately ever since I have been here.
 You know Red Nelson who was in Ketchikan sometime ago? Well, he is town marshal here and is getting s15O per month.
 The railroad company has got the road clear to the end of the line which is 56 miles from Cordova, and are rushing machinery and supplies to the front as fast as possible. Every man in town can get work, but the only thing is the low wages that are paid and the hardships the men have to undergo.
 Carpenters are in demand and build ing is going on rapidly. Business lots cond streets at 5000, 5000, and 5000, respectively.
 Jimmie and have nice room with two beds and pay S2. 50 per week each. Meals are soc to $l, although you can get board for $7 per week, but no one but Slav would eat it. There are a lot of musicians in town that cannot get work, and good ones too. I hap pened to make hir with my mando- lin and guitar so that is the reason that l am working.
 Tell Frank Golf that the ferry boats will not run on Copper River before June and I have a promise of one when they commence running.
 Duchess is getting so stiff with rheu- matsm that I think I will have to put her out of the way pretty soon. She can hardly get around.

 Salt Lake. March 3o-The Utah Fuel company has been compelled to pay two hundred thousand dollars fine to the federal courts here for obtain ing coal lands raudulently.
 London, March 30-king Peter ana family of Servia are preparing to abdicate because of the influence of a powerful party in parliament opposing the reigning dynasty.
 The government of Servia is con- stitutional monarchy, the legislative body consists of ITS members, three fourths of whom are elected by the people and the remainder nominated by the king.
 The last notable event in the reign 1 ing house of Servia occurred in 1903 when King Alexander and Queen Dra- ga were murdered by the officers of the army and the present king as sumed the throne.
 Washington, March 30-The Repub- licans in debating the Payne bill are urging higher duty on ber, pot tery, zinc, ore and coal.
 In connection with the fight of the lumber interests to maintain a high lumber tariff, Walter E. Clark, the Washington correspondent, says the lumber interests will have to conduct their fight for a higher lumber tariff along clever lines if they are to pre- vent a stampede in the direction Of free lumber. The appeal from a number of Southern lumber manu- l lecturers for q hipher tariff seems to have little effect on the Democratic side of the house.
 Champ Clark, minority leader of the house, said that he stood for free lum- ger for two reasons: For preservation of the forests and to permit the work
 ing men of the country to own their own homes. This statement was ac- corded practically unanimous applause on the Democratic side and no little approval by some of the Republicans. The lumber interests are handicapped by the smallness of their representa- tion in the house. This is so not only because of the small vote they can make themselves, but because of the support they have to trade. It will prove a hard task to effect an arrange ment whereby the Western lum Der delegations can trade their support for that of an Eastern delegation. Washington. for il stance, which wants high lumber tariff, has only three votes in the house, while Massachus- etts, which is hot on the trail of free trade, has fourteen. Others, which it no doubt would be glad to trade with an equally strong delegation, wish an other change. In fact, Washington, Oregon, California and Idaho have a combined vote in congress that merely equal that of number of oth CT single states. When it is considered that many of 'hese large Eastern delega tion favor free lumber, it can be seen i that it will take some clever swap ping on the part of the lumber men to get together even the supp port that will insure no reduction below the Payne schedule.

Big Profits From Beans.

Geo. II. Hamil is one of the
homesteaders on new land out
beyond Douglas Bernard's. He
planted an acre and a half of beans
last year as an experiment and
raised about l,5OO pounds. He
sold 800 pounds to La Jara stores
at seven cents a pound and re-
served 1000 pounds for planting.
He finished planting Wednesday
and has planted 20 acres. Some
of the 6rat beans planted are up
and doing well. He marketed
young onions in La Jara last Wed
nesday, the same being a row that
it was necessary to take out in
plowing an irrigating ditch. Mr..
Hamil will soon prove up on his
ranch which is the .high ground,
near the edge of that vast tract
soon to be watered by the Alamosa
reservoir.

MONTE VISTA FLOPS AGAIN

1t is not surprising that the
Monte Vista patriots have seen fit
to back up' again. It's a way
they have of doing over there.
One week they adopt and sign res
olutions condemning the Denver
News and Times for its attacks
upon the San Luis valley, and the
next the same bunch resolute again
in favor of the aforesaid papers
and against all of the valley out
side of their own little domain of
about ten miles square. The News
was willing to give anything for a
word Of encouragement from some
valley town but failed of its pur-
pose until Monte was seen. By
agreeing to boost Monte Vista as
the garden spot of the state at the
expense of the balance of the val
ley, the News had no trouble in
inducing the above mentioned pat
riots to sign the resolutions Keat-
ing wrote, even though such action
placed them in the position of re-
pudiating their free and voluntary
action of the week previous. 1t is
this sort of dealing that is causing
Monte Vista to be known as 1.-The
double-crossers' retreat" That
there is splendid land in the Monte
Vista district, we gladly admit, but
that it is any better than the aver
age of the agricultural land of the
whole valley, is perfectly absurd.
They know it is not and for fear
some other portion of the valley
will grow tritle faster than their
own little empire, they joyously
arise at every opportunity and
start the anvil chorus.
This may be their way of build
ing, but it will surely prove poor
one.

INExCUSABLE FILTH.

The fake stories the Denver
News and Times are runningabout
the deal between the Baca Land
Grant people and the Denver Post
are enough to disgust, we would
imagine, even the -depraved liar
who writes them, being SO far
fetched and improbable as to lack
even the semblance of reality.
How any newspaper can resort to
so cheap and dirty method of
carrying on campaign of black
guarding goes beyond the power
of respectable people to fathom.

On Easy Street.

Abner Black has one of the best
situated ranches in this the most
fruitful section of the valley. 1t
consists of half section adjoining
the Harvey ranch on the west, only
a mile and half from town. Mr.
Black hauled four loads of hay to
town, in one day last week, at SIS
per load. Most of his farm is in
native grass and he pastures from
90 to 100 horses the year around,
and many owners from as far north
as Monte Vista send him horses to
winter and needless to say he
turns them out slick and fat in the
spring. just now he is halter
breaking as likely looking bunch
of ten yearlings of his own as enc
could wish to see. Mr.. Black
threshed over 1000 bushels of
grain last year from about 40 acres
and still has on hand high bin
full of oats and bald barley mixed.
This year the 40 is sowed to peas
and barley and adjoining it is
field of fine, strong looking wheat
Not the least of the attractions at
the Black ranch are the chickens
and, strange as it may seem, they
are all white. They are of the
Langshan variety and the patri
arch of the flock has twice won
first at the Alamosa fair. Mrs.
Black took off los little chicks
one day last week and frequently
gathers 100 eggs per day. Mr..
and Mrs. Black, of course, believe
in great future for the valley and
have in sight a home in town and
rest and comfort even before their
sun shall face the golden west.

A New Industry.

Frank Onstatt of Garden City,
Kansas, was an arrival the first of
the week bringing through about
~ horses and mules and go head
OF fine Persian sheep. The heavy
draft horses have been sold to the
San Luis Valley Irrigation, Land
and Power Co. for work on the
Terrace reservoir and Mr.. Onstatt
will soon bring in another bunch
from his ranch near the Arizona
New Mexico line. He has long
been associated with Buffalo Jones
in the raising of buffalo and that
strange cross called cattalo. He
will bring in herd of these
animals also to see how they will
thrive on the mountain slopes to
the west of the valley. Mrs.
Onstatt and children arrived IA
couple of days before and rented
the Watson house which the fam
lily will occupy until they can
build.

HEDGING.

AS consequence of the wrath
of the people of the San Luis val
ley, aroused by the pernicious
course of the Denver News and
Times in their untruthful and un-
warranted attacks upon the various
land companies operating in valley
lands, those papers have been
forced to acknowledge that many
of their statements concerning the
valley were inadvisedly made and
thoroughly misleading and untrue,

nd see in how fine way it is
making progress. 1t helps to an
understanding of the greatness of
this grand old state and of how
rapidly it is expanding in a COM
mercial way. Such a trip was
required of representative of The
Republican by an assault made
upon the integrity of new plan
which had been adopted for the
rapid settlement of the country.
The people of the valley were com
planning that the assault was in
juring it and calculated to retard
its growth. 1t became necessary
to examine the lands attacked and
the working of the plan for their
sale"
Mr.. johnson goes into detail in
regard to the methods of the land
companies and his report shows
conclusively that these companies
have misrepresented nothing. He
finds that all they have claimed
for their lands is true and that the
purchasers will get more than
value received for their money.
That peach incident which has
attained fame-Mr. johnson finds
that the peach was really grown in
the valley but says:
San Luis has yet its spurs to
earn as peach country even if it
is a peach of countryr'

Has Never Missed a Crop.

John Westbrook is one of the
old timers in this section and
settled few miles east of La Jara
% years ago In 1885 he drove
across the valley to Del Norte to
make homestead entry and re-
calls but four settlements along
the route. Some of these were
new, the owners had not had time
to dig wells and both Mr.. West
brook and his horses suffered
from thirst on the trip where, at
the present time, there are hun
dreds of artesian wells and irriga.
ton bitches running full of water.
Mr.. Westbrook does not sympa-
thize with the unprincipled
knockers of the San Luis valley
and believes the soil will give the
farmer as good a return as any
country in the world. His alfalfa,
of which he has about 20 acres is
between ID and 20 inches high
and his wheat and oats never at
this time of year gave promise of
a better crop. Last year Mr..
Westbrook's grain threshed about
go bushels to the acre.
