j. S. Cook bank of Goldfeld, went out
Tuesday, under instructions, to inves-

of that city. Gay was enthusiastic

large interests in Montana and Wash
ington. They have mostly passed on
to the district as quickly as possible.

the government biologists say that
these cover only a fraction of the con
tact while there are whole areas OF
great promise still u~nprospeeted.
Ii has also been discovered within
the past year that there are consider
able areas of the Chitina basin suitable
for farming, and experiments here and
in other parts of Alaska have amply
proved that farming is not only pos
sible but very productive and so profit
able that a new term, bonanza farm
ing" has been invented for 1T. Tn
Chitina offers a particularly promising
field because there will be a large local
market among the mining camps, the
more easterly of which will be reached
by the new road next November.
The region is well timbered and
watered, and, with its already known
resourees and daily train service, is
likely to be the centre of a veritable
Alaskan stampede.

CORDOVA, Alaska, Jan. Silt IS
now certain that the railroad which
runs inland from here, will tap the rich
Chitina basin by next July so that
prospectors and settlers can get IN
with their supplies in comfort during
the warm weather. At the junction of
the Copper and Chitina rivers, it is an
nouneed, there will be a town with
large roadhouses and supply stations.
From there wagon roads will lead out
into the valleys. 1t is assured that
this region, which now for lack of trans
portation, is a wilderness, though prob
ably the richest in all Alaska, will see
amazing development the minute the
railroad makes it available. The Bo.

critics in the world, and one or two
other groups are getting out ore this
winter in spite of the enormous cost
of supplies, and shipping will begin as

SANDSTONE AND
KENDALL To
Be WORKED

An important step in the mining life
of Goldfeld has just been made in the

known as the Sandstorm-Kendall Con
solidated Mining company. The new
company will be capitalized at $780,
600 shares, of a par value of ST. each.
stock assessable. Stock in the two old
companies will be exchanged for stock
In the Consolidated company share for
share, and after the exchange has been
made, assessments will be levied for the
development of the two proprties. The
Kendall company owes the John s.
Cook bank $44, 91.67, and the Sand
storm owes the Cook bank $9,012.5O.
The bank will bring suit on the notes
by which the Indebtedness is covered,
secure judgment and sell the properties,
which will be bought in by George
Wingfeld or his agents, for the amount
of the judgment and costs. Mr.. Wing
field is the controlling stakeholder in
both companies.
The two properties have been pro-
ducers IN the past, the Sandstone
credited with a production of $4,000
and the Kendall with $250,OO0. All
this ore was taken out of pockets com
paratively near the surface. The ground
has never been exploited by deep work
lngs, and is of great possibilities when
developed. The merger of the two
properties and companies is to the end
that extensive development along the
most economical lines nay be done. and
the camp is to be congratulated that
this ground is to be actively developed.
A. II. Howe, secretary of the Sand
storm and Kendall companies, has mail
ed to eaeh stakeholder of the two com.
panles a circular letter which explains
IN detail, the merger of the two prop
critics. The above is the sense of the
full official statement, however.

PEACE NOT
LASTING At
CITY HALL

The peace on the Upper floors of
the city hall is Of only temporary
duration, it seems. While the
storm at the city hall is at present
raging about the police department,
there promises to be few more
eruptions soon in other places.
First, however, in the line Of ne
cessity for housekeeping is the po-
lice department. After this there
are few things that must be
threshed out with the board of pub
lie works, chief of these is the reas-
on for the issuance Of orders to tie
up the building of the water extern
sions.
1t is said that the crematory de-
partment is reposing over a vol
cano that may break forth - any
time. and a few other little matters
loom that will remove any chance
for dullness at the city hall for a
few weeks, at least.
Out at the isolation hospital old
man Harris is still pulling down the
coin, but not in such large chunks
as he did a few weeks back, before
The Press put molasses in his hair
With Ralston, Lee, Blair, Bur
cham and Tuerke retired to private

reign, but then there are such

still at large, who can start few
things when it is necessary.
The members of the "EX-City OF
ficeholders' association, formed
recently by Carl w. Tuerke, may
not be on the payroll, but they are
nevertheless active and can stir up
a little trouble occasionally.

WILL SUE FOR
FLOOD LOSS

People owning property on the
north side of Front avenue have
consulted council to seek for legal
redress against the Washington
Water Power Co. because of the
flooding of their cellars during the
recent high water. 1t is claimed
that the closing of the south chan
mel of the river has caused the
water to back up there in a man
ner that it has never done before,
and that as a result of this the flood
waters entered the cellars.
The city hall basement contained
three or four feet of water at the
time of the recent flood, drowning
out the city hall heating plant for
several days.
The south channel was closed at
Howard street year ago by filling
in under the bridge.

CHURCHES SILENT.

This present police scandal is
fair sample of what the active
church people of Spokane are
worth in matter of real reform.
When some alleged reformer, a
rank hypocrite or whitened sep
ulcher, comes out for office and
cries reform" in loud tone of
voice, they flock to his standard.
In this present effort to regenerate
the police system of Spokane the
church people are noticeable by
their absence. Possibly after the
methods carried on are shown up
they will then come to the front
and claim credit. Right today some
of the good, active church men are
saying 'it is a shame to attack
Chief Sullivan" but in the attack
the support is not coming from the
church reformers.

that the reclamation service had
