DAMM|NC |D|TAROD
 RIVER

The preliminary reports brought back after the finish of the first re- lay of the work between Iditarod City and Richmond which has for it's purpose the deepening of the river channel to facilitate the transpor- tation of the late season shipping, are most satisfactory to everyone concerned, says the Iditarod Pic neer. It is now announced that small steamers will be able to traverse the upper section of the river through the balance of the summer, unless the water fails en- tirely.
 Four hundred and fifty feet of wing dam has been put in at Flat bar, Corkscrew bar and Home bar while considerable work has been done al Zodiac bar just above Rich mond, the cost up to the present be ing figured at approximately $I,100. The steamer Teddy H.. in charge of Captain HeaCock. has been engaged on this section of the river for near ly a week with a crew of IS men. The steamer Lois has also been working al the Zodiac bar during the same length of time.
 It is figured that these wing dams, amounting to about nine in number, have greatly improved the channel between this city and Richmond. and that the action of the water will make it better in the future It is also estimated that an equal amount of money to that already expended will be sufficient to finish the work to Dikeman.
 The importance of this work can hardly be overestimated since it is reported that there are between 600 and 700 tons of freight at Dkeman for this point and about 500000 feet of lumber, all of which will be needed in this camp this winter.
 Following the heavy rains of the past week, the steamers have left off on the river work to take ad- vantage of the raise, and have de parted for Dikeman after cargoes
 The Teddy H. left Friday afternoon and expected to be back to this city by Sunday evening with a load of 8 tons, indicating that the mosqui- to fleet should be able to bring up a large amount of freight at once
 The work of the committee on collection of the sinews of war has been going on all week, and some s1,7OO had been subscribed with several large contributions still to be heard from. It is confidently ex- pected that the money necessary for the completion of the work to Dike- man will be forthcoming

AN AFTERTHOUGAT OF OUR
 HOSPITALITY

Now that the Attorney General and his party are out of hearing and be yond the general circulation limits uf The Alaska Citizen, it may as well be admitted that the reception ten dered last week to the distinguished visitors was no less a surprise to the honored guests than it was 10 the citizens of the Panama valley. The people of Fairbanks not on the com mittee on exhibits or decorations re ceiyed as much inspiration, and were as greatly astonished al what they saw, as were the two members of the Cabinet. the Governor. Major Rich ardson and other guests of the city.
 The agricultural exhibits and the profusion and beauty of the floral dis play were twin inspirations. The com parative and actual exhibits showing the wonderful wealth of the natural productive resources of the country gave us a mental focus on facts, and produced q snap shot memory mega tive that will hereafter remain clear and distinct. And the children, God bless them, Their health. happiness cleanliness, alertness, youthful vigOr and numbers, spoke prophctiCally of future homeloving, nation-loying horde of Alaskans that will dominate the AnglO-SaXon race Their euvi- ronment and the wealth of natural resources at their command, will make them the mraCle-Workers of the twentieth century. They aroused throughout the vast audience every latent atom of patriotism. Their presence furnished and polished. and electrified the slumbering social in stincts Their shining countenanCes forever banished the thought that We are nOmadic people, intent upon the sudden acquisition of wealth and forgetful of the home and its subtle refining influences.
 Then, too, let us not forget the speeches. They were not long, nor especially eloquent, nor were they burdened with cumbersome. high sounding phrases or meaningless praises. The address of welcome, and the responses by the two dis tinguished guests were short, crisp, magnetic and heartfelt. Everything that was said was in excellent good taste, There. was no note of appeal to prejudice, passion, or politics.
 The elected Overseer of our Ma tiOnal life sent two of his assistant superintendents to make report upon the state of cultivation in the farther most field of American civilization, and to make note of what is most needed to promote local prosperity and National unity To say that our guests were surprised at what they saw is putting it mildly. Their mis- sion can result in nothing but good Around the Cabinet table Alaska will no longer be an indistinct outline on the map of dreams; it will be vivid living memory of territorial yastness, of wondrous resources, and of cultivated, hospitable enthusias- tic, resOurceful population, worthy of sharing the responsibilities and ad- Vantages of a government of the peo- pie, by the people and for the peo- pie of the best and greatest Nation on earth

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
Black Hills Mining Co. is Making
Fine Progress and is the One Alb
sorbing Topic in Black Hills.

No mining company was ever or
ganlzed IN the Black Hills that has
SO stirred the local people as the
Black Hills Development and Finan-
cial Corporation as the Bunce Com
pany. 1t is the great absorbing topic
from Deadwood to Custer. The secre-
tary of the company, F. w, Bower,
Deadwcod, S. d. has been swamped
with inquiries the past ten days. You
probably looked for another article
IN this paper last week, about the
company, but did not find one. Mr..
Bower has been writing answers to
inquiries from prospective stock buy
ers, and getting ready for the start of
the company, which was made April
LIST. when Mr.. Bunce arrived. The
secretary's office is without doubt,
the busiest office in the Black Hills
today. Owners of mines all over The
Hills are coming in and trying to get
their properties into the Bunce deal
and take stock for them. For the
present no more properties will be
taken over by the Corporation. Forty
is enough. This company has been
endorsed by the banks, business
clubs, city and county officials and
hundreds of individuals throughout
the Black Hills. The company will
work forty mines instead of one.
There was lever another company
organized like this one in the Unit
ed States. Don't wait until too late
to buy some of this stock.
