LOCAL MINERS ARE
 SORE AT GUGG|ES

The Prospector has received let 1 ter from union labor men of Valdez | expressing indignation at the action | of corporations in bringing in men from the outside when many capable men in Alaska are out of work. The Prospector is not fully informed as to the facts but as the letter is temper ately written most of it is given here, in accordance with the Prospector's policy of giving a hearing to every body who has anything to say on a matter of public interest. In part the letter says:
 ''In Valdez andIts community there are about 300 idle men. There is nothing for them to do but wait for work on the trail and in the copper country.
 ''In face of these facts we have lately seen crew of men brought to Valdez, some say from the Dakotas, to work in the copper country for the Guggenheim interests. If these peo- pie continue to disregard local con- ditions and have no consideration for anyone except themselves they will arouse the sentiment of the people against them.
 Early last summer the people of Dawson held indignation meetings protesting against the action of the Guggenheims in importing contract labor at wage of $2.25 a day, while the going wages at Dawson were $4 day, with plenty of labor at that price. At the present time in the Klondike a prospector who returns from his probably unsuc- cessful attempt to locate paystreak, with his clothes and energy worn, and as usual financial wreck, is not only assured of job alongside of a man who can speak the EngliB,! language, but is guaranteed work by the government in preference to out side labor. It was also decided by the government that $4 day should be the recognized miners wage in the Klondikc.'

CHILE AND PERU ARE
 THREATENING FIGHT

Valparaiso, Jan. 3O-Refusal on the part of the Peruvian government to permit Chile to place a tablet on a monument erected over the graves of the soldiers in Peruvian soil bids fair to cause war between the two coun- tries. Diplomatic relations have been severed and the Chilean squad ron has been ordered north.
 In this city the news of the Peru Vian government has caused the most intense feeling, and war will be welcome to the people. who feel that the memory of their hero dead has been insulted.

KODIAK TO HAVE |. F0RTN|GHTLY MAIL

Seattle, Jan. 3O-As preliminary to it's purpose with regard to improv- ing the steamship service of vest ern Alaska, the Alaska Steamship Con- pany today issued an order directing that the schedule of the stea m ship Dora be so altered as to permit of a twice.a-month mail service to Kodiak. The Dora will depart from Seward making connections with the steam ships departing from Seattle on the twenty-fourth of each month.
 It is believed to be the ultimate purpose of the Alaska Steamship Company to establish regular ser vice between Seattle and Port Ora ham, and in this case it is probable that the Dora will make Kodiak her eastern terminus. The fortnightiy service between Seward and Kodiak will be maintained until the big liners are operated on the Port Graham schedule.
