During the past week large mum Der of people have been attracted to the Nordale hotel to see the sam ples of quartz brought into town by E. N. Bockfinger from the Russian Kids claim on Wolf creek.

WOMEN'S PETITION
 DENIED
CANNOT INTERVENE IN T. V. R. SUIT BUT MAY TAKE SEP
 ARATE ACTION.

The petition filed in the clerk s of. creditors of the WA bank by the ladies committee came up for hear ing on Saturday. the court having several days ago signed an order directing the parties in the suit of the T. V. R K. Co. vs. the Wash ington-Alaska bank 10 show cause why the petitioners should not be allowed to intervene in that action.
 Although 1t contained several pray CTS. the attorney for the petitioners presented, and the court consider ed, only one aspect of the petition. namely: whether the petitioners on behalf of the depositors of the Wash ington-A Alaska bank of the state of Washington could intervene in the present suit and by obtaining the ap- pOintment of a receiver for the Washing on-Alaska bank of the state of Washington or otherwise. suspend the present receivership proceedings, while they took steps to enforce the rights claimed by them against the directors and stockholders of the Washington-Alaska bank of Washing lbu dS ulSllllS hlSlltu liOlh NHt " dSh ington-Alaska bank of Nevada, the successor of the Fairbanks Banking Co
 Bion A Dodge represented the pc titioners and stated their side of the question.
 MT Pratt for the receivers argued that to allow the intervention asked would split the depositors into three groups; would involve extremely diff ficut questions of accounting; would indefinitely prolong and retard the pending action; would unduly post. pone the payment of future dividends and might deprive those who before the consolidation were depositors of the Washington-Alaska bank of the state of Washington of security which they now had; and that ir the end it was problematical whether any accounting would make a ma terial difference in the amount or value of assets now available to this class of depositors.
 In passing upon the petition the court said that there were two class es of intervention. one of which by reason of statutes must be arbi lldllN Sldllleu duu that liilS ptll tion was not of this class, but be- longed to the other, the granting of which lay in the sound discretion of the court to whom the petition was addressed.
 The court further said that it was the universal rule that intervention of the latter class was not permit ted when it would complicate, delay or retard the proceedings in which intervention was sought, CT raised or involved questions foreign to the par. ties in those proceedings, when by the nature of the rights claimed, the courts were open to provide ade- quate redress in independent ac- tions Therefore the right to inter vene in the present action was de- nied.
 The merits of the question raised by the petition were not before the court and were not passed upon, so that the committee. or the petition CTS, are at liberty to take whatever steps they may be advised. in pur- suing any rights they may have against the Washington-Alaska bank of the state of Washington, or it's officers, or against any other persons and fixing upon them such liabilities as may be enforceable in independent actions

CARPET BADGERS.

A recent dispatch informs Alas. kans that the job of mining inspect or for Alaska has been given to a Cal ifOrnia college professor on the rec ommendation of Gov Clark Other in formation Altering from Washing ton is to the effect that there is strong probability of the marshal ship of the Fourth division being given To an Fastener
 Until q couple of years ago the unalterable rule of the administra- tion had been to appoint carpetbag- gers 10 Alaskan federal offices. but at that time it was hoped and be- lieved the practice had been aban- doned, never to be resumed. This belief now appears 10 have had no basis in fact. for the pernicious GUS rom is. apparently, to be resumed.
 Under the carpetbaggers regime, as has been the case invariably in every part of the world where it has been adopted, there has been mis- rule and dissatisfaction, and there can be no betterment of this condi- ton expected until human nature completely reverses its tendencies. During the time Alaska was suffer- ing most from this state of affairs il was charged at Washington that there could be no peace expected in Alaska because the Northerners were chronic grumblers and would not be satisfied unless they had something 10 complain about.
 the administration, in an unguarded moment, permitted some Alaskans to be appointed to the judiciary. and then it's pet theory was exploded. as everybody acquainted with Alaska knew it was bound to be- Thomas Lyons and Peter D. Overfield. resi- dents of Alaska for years and ac- quainted with the matters over which they had to assume jurisdic. ton, served in the districts which had been most troublous under the carpetbagger system and, To. there is an end to the trouble. and peace reigns, everybody in the community placing implicit confidence in their integrity
 But it appears that the administra- ucn Is to continue to disregard the point of this object lesson. in spite of the fact that the only complaints it receives regarding it's appointees relate to the carpetbaggers. The old system of paying political debts in- cured in the States by appointing to the offices here castoffs who have outlived their usefulness to the par ty in their home states is to be continued. to the further insult of the most patriotic territory over which Old Glory waves. From the Republican administration this is to be expected, but fortunately it must be submitted to for but short time longer, The Democratic platform promises home rule and the award. ing of Alaskan offices to Alaskans. Every patriotic Alaskan will do what little lies in his power to insure a Democratic victory, to the end that he will have the satisfaction of see ing the carpetbaggers thrown out.

A NATIONAL RIFLE CLUB.

When those who are interested learn of the advantages aCcruing to membership in the National Rifle club which it Is proposed to organ ize here it is 10 be expected many will enroll themselves aS members. These advantages will be fully eX- piained at the meeting tu be held in the commissioners court room on Wednesday evening.
 The National Rifle Association. of 9hich the local club would be branch. was organized ill 1871 for the purpose of teaching the men of the United States how to use the service rifle It's founders had in aiad the idea that without an i'm u.qEsr standing army the power to defend ourselves and protect oth- er> is denied to us unless We have d citizenship trained ill the use of arms. II was realized that We Go vel. in this free land 10 depend uf. on citizens to battle for the national loncr and existence but. also. that We wrong such patriotic souls and ii jure the nation if We allow them to go into war without some military Knowledge
 T. has unfortunately to be admit. ed the peace advocates to the con- tfary notwithstanding. that one of the most important of all accomplish. ments of a free citizen is the abil- " to wage successful war asainst the enemies of his country, and that llem of military knowledge most iL. dispensable to that citizen is skill in the use of the rife. the weapon which would be placed in his hands if an unavoidable war were thrust LpoH us.
 The sport of rife shooting, either on the range or at animate objects i'll the hunt, is one of the mos al turing to those who have practiced sufficiently to become at all efficient And it is possible to teach any nor nal man to become a good rifle shot. Rife shooting was the sport of the American pioneers, king among sports, at once healthful. use ful and valuable. making every man who practices il more resourCeful and self reliant
 Tho rifle tice is being actively pursued in many countries al this time, and it k particularly desirable that in Am erica where preparedness for war is largely based on the employment cf an army of volunteers. it should not be neglected. Patriotism Tn the fine thing. but preparedness and wig ilance born of such patriotism are counted vastly more valuable TO the nation
 The purposes of the National Ri fie Association are of the greatest importance and the methods by HItu II pIOpOStS No htNaih 'h'iii are simple direct, and suited to American life and character. The regulations under which the rifles and ammunition are sold at a very small percentage of their actual cost are not onerous. and the members of the unit clubs have the satisfac- tion of being in possession of the | latest and best weapons i'll the world, with the opportunity for prac tice al a very slight cost It is probable that a very satis tory range could be obtained here, within but a short distance of town, and it is to be expected the club if once formed will. by providing healthful summer sport in the open, be most popular institution.
