HOW ABOUT THE QUARTZ?

It is pretty generally accepted theory among mining men that localities which produce placer gold in paying quantities will eventually their permanency and perity to quartz mining. While placer mining from it's very nature must be very shortlved industry at best quartz camp, established, has practically end This has been proved and again in the older mining countries India has quartz mines which have been worked for centuries and so have Peru and exco while the gold mining industry ill places like Australia, California and South Africa is sounder basis than although half
 century has elapsed since the placer those countries.
 Alaska is exception to this theory and the great vva in mining which is noticeable in the Fairbanks VaI dez and Seward districts is proof enough of it's sounnes
 Ever since the discovery of gold in the ditarod expe- renced miners have expressed their belief in the existence o quartz in paying quantities. and float discovered last year at the head of Flat and in oherecons within small radius of this camp leads observer to believe that the day not far distant when greater attention will be paid this possible source of wealth.
 It is well known, of that Flat creek as placer producer has rival in the North today and that late dis cOveres Otter tend to show that that stream will equally prolific in it's supply of the yellow metal but per manency only through the development of quartz
 How to secure this development is the question. So far as the Pioneer can there is only way, and that way is cooperation. Hardly anyone in the camp at present would naded feel justified in mourning the expense of prospecting for quartz large scale be overcome and some means adopted to thorough examination of the surrounding hills under the direction of a quartz expert.
 Is it too much to ask of the leading operators and business of this section to look into the quartz p0ssi bes of the Idtarod right now! to wait until Fairbanks, and Nome Had Dawson in the days of her prosperity spent little of her surplus in quartz prospect ing she would not have sunk to her present comparatively insignificant position. stitch in time nine.

STRIKE AFFECTS THE SUPPLY
Even Railways Are Said to Have
Trouble in Getting Fuel.

Calgary, Alta, April 12.-While
striking miners have held several
meetings to discuss the question of
applying to the government for a
board to arbitrate the differences with
the operators, nothing definite has
been decided The operators have re-
fused steadily to take the initiative,
claiming that the question of open
shop absolutely cannot be the subject
of arbitration. Meantime the supply
of fuel all ever Eastern British Colum-
bia and Alberta is reaching low ebb,
even the railways having trouble in
securing a supply. The Great North
ern has depended upon coal from the
Fernie field to operate many miles OF
lines in Montana.

when 1t was proposed to form a state
wide organization that will send a
committee to Washington to oppose
the passage of the Canadian reciproc.
ity bill.

TAMMANY LEADER
 BUSY IN ALBANY
PUBLISHED TO EFF FECT THAT MIR. FREEDMAN WAS ADMOST PERSUADED TO VOTE FOR STEPHAN

Albany, N. Y, February 13.-That the democratic conference held last Wednesday to discuss the election of a United States senator was called in the hope that Assemblyinan harold -. Friedman of New York. one of the in surgents. would announce that he was ready to vote for William F. Shee- han, the organization candidate, was indicated in copies of alleged affidavits by Friedman and his father, Henry c. Friedman. received here today by As semblyman Cu1villier of New York.
 f'riedman's alleged affidavit recites efforts made to induce him to vote for Sheehan, especially by Thomas E. Rush, Tammany leader of the district he rep resents. On the day before the con- ference Friedman says Rush visited him and the affidavit continues:
 'Deponent thereupon told MT. Rush that he was prepared to vote for MT. Sheehan and that he had arranged to make a statement at the conference called for the following morning. In which the views of Goveino Dix would idicate the best policy to be pursued would be to break the deadlock and elect Sheehan.'
 Later, according to the affidavit. Friedman conferred with others and talked with his father In New fork by telephone and decided to continue voting for Edward M. Shepard.
 Mir Friedman in his affidavit says he was very much perturbed because of his obligations to his constituents as opposed to his obligations to MT. Rush and in this extremity appealed to his Creator for divine guidance and the answer came to him that he should not support MT. Sheehan. The affidavit of the elder Friedman purports to give the substance of this telephone conversation. the father telling the as- semblyman he would disown him if he changed to Sh eehan.
 Assemb1yman Friedman tonight ad- mitted that he made such an affidavit but asserted that the portion of the all legged copy which stated that he was at enc time ready to vote for MT. Sheehan was false. His position on the senator ship is unchanged. he added. and will remain the same
