LUCKY SWEDE OF
 YUKON IN THE PAY

The lucky Swede of the North-he is legion, but in Captain Nels Peter son, old Klondiker. is found the para gon of the type Peterson made for tune here in the early days by mining built and operated the steamers Eldo- rado and Bonanza King on the White horse run: went flat broke, and was down and out looking for a grubstake He got new start in Nome. made a pile that filled a poke a mile long. and dropped it in wicked Seattle. Now Nels has hit it again. This time the lucky Swede has come back to the pay on Kenai Peninsula.
 Associated with him in his latest success is J. D. Meenach, also an old pioneer of Yukon and Alaska. The fol- lowing press dispatch to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer tells of the new strike:
 SEWARD, June 3O.-J D. Meenach of the firm of Meenach & Peterson came in from Hope last night and says that everything is looking we'll at the Kenai Star.
 The Kenai Star mine is eight miles from Hope and has been prospected by original locator Logman. There is about fifty feet of tunnel on the ledge showing an average width of AZ inches of ore that gives assays that are truly remarkable.
 One sample taken form some of the best looking ore available returned Sl3.5lS to the ton and sample

weighing 2.65 ounces was assayed by Falkenburg & Iaucks of Seattle and returned a gold button worth g This is just about dollar to the ounce of quartz.
 Another picked sample was sent to Bogardus of Seattle and the phcnom- enal assay of s1OO,6O1.46 46 to the ton was the return. Some of the poorest look ing ore that was consideerd all base was taken and sample concentrated to seven tons to one was sent to Wood & Co. of Denver Colo. and assayed at S946 to the ton.
 Meenach & Peterson will ship all of their ore direct firm the mine to the smelter at Tacoma. Arrangements have been made with the Alaska Coast Company to handle all of the ore and as soon as the snow is off the noun tains a crew of men will be put to work shooting the quartz and sacking it for shipment to the smelter. It is esti- mated that the Kenai Star will be able to ship from 800 to 1000 tons of ore per month, and owing to the location being so near a salt water harbOr the cost of transportation to the smelter and the handling of the ore there will be no greater than the cost of a stamp mill under ordna V conditions.

Publicity the Cure.
This discovery on their part of
what ought to have been obvious all
along points out the way of reform,
for undoubtedly publicity comes very
near being the cure-all for political
and economic maladies Of this sort.
But publicity will continue to be very
difficult so long as our methods Of
legislation are SO obscure and devious
and private. think II will become
more and more obvious that the way
to purify our politics Is to simplify
them. and that the way to simplify
them Is to establish responsible lead
ership. We now have no leadership
at all inside our legislative bodies
at any rate, no leadership which is
definite enough to attract the atten-
ton and watchfulness Of the country.
Our only leadership being that Of ir-
responsible persons outside the leg
islatures. who constitute the political
machines, It is extremely difficult for
even the most watchful public opln-

lies at the root of the growing de-

ate has for many decades together
been subservient to the dictates and
to the interests Of particular groups
of men. Their interests have been
served constantly and often in defi-
ance of the well-known opinions and
purposes not only of the national ad-
minlstration but Of the members Of
the houses as well who for reason
struggled in vain against the dictates
of the omnipotent leaders Of the SEN
ate.
Here displayed in its grossest form
was the intimate power Of business
over politics.
The Country Aroused.
The country has definitely made up
its mind that 1t will get at the root
Of this matter and Of all other mat
ters like it, and that It will break up
this alliance. There was a time when
1t looked as IL to accomplish this
would involve a very dangerous sort
of strife between the general mass Of
voters in the country and those who
had exhibited splendid talents in
building up the business of America.
But, happily. that threat has disap-
peared. 1t is one Of the happy cir
cumstances Of our time that the most
intelligent and progressive OF our
business men have seen the mistake
as we'll as the immortality Of the whole
bad business. The alliance between
business and politics has been a bur.
den to them-an advantage no doubt
upon occasion, but a very question:
able and burdensome advantage. II
has given them great power but It
has also subjected them to a sort Of
slavery and q sort Of subserviency to
leading politicians. They are anxious
to be freed from the bondage as the
country Is to be rid Of the influences
and methods which 1t represents.
Leading business men are now be-
coming great factors in the emancipa-
ton OF the country from q system
which was leading from bad to worse
There are those Of course, who are
welded to the old ways and who will
stand out for them to the last. but
they will sink into minority and be
overcome. They have found that
their old excuse that It was necessary
to defend themselves against unfair
legislation Is no longer good excuse,
that there is better way Of defend
