HENRY RILEY FROM IDITAROD

Henry Riley. well known Sourdousn and old time operator on the creeks around this section. returned from lditarod last week where he is in terested on Flat and Otter creeks Mir Riley thinks that the lower camp is good for two more annual cleanups the equal of this year, which is about three and one-halt million
 The season had a serious drawback on account of the late start. Ground which was thought 10 be only slight ly frozen was found to have hard frost to depth of six feet in some instances. l. was the middle of July as consequence before any arrange ments had been made for thawing.
 The ground on Otter is easy to handle and is lousy with gold On Flat the sediment in which the gold is found is so sticky that there iS an unavoidable loss in sluicing These two creeks are the principal prOduc- CTS. Willow and Happy are also be- ing mined. James X Lawson on he Bonanza association have one of the richest properties and are taking our the gold at a rapid pace.
 MT. Riley is not too optimistic about Ruby and says from what he has seen and heard that it is a frost Nothing but prospects have been shown so far but the diggings will be pretty thoroughly prospected dur ing the coming winter.

SAYS M 'CARTHY
 HAS DONE NOTHING

In the literature sent out by the Socialist party, is this indictment against the present so-called Union Labor administration of san Francis e.. The Socialists are drawn large ly from the working men of the city. and their campaign battle cry is "Let the Workingman Rule" Hence this attack on the present admins tration, which is irving vainly to win votes from labor, has more than passing significance. Here is the editorial:
 Socialists have criticised the Me Carthy administration. and for so do. irG have been accused of attacking iLc labor unions On the contrary. We criticise the administration only because il has not done enough for labor
 For example, in dealing with the United Railroads Ohe only great open shop corporation in san Fran ciscp). no serious attempt has been made to rcOrsaniZe the men - many of whom work from 12 to 16 hours Der day upon miserably insufficient wages. Twice have the city officials granted new franchises of great value 10 this corporation, and in each in stance they have refused to write into the franchise any provision as to the minimum wage, maximum hours or the right to organize on the part ol the employees.
 Nor have these misrepresentatives f organized labor made any notice able move to reduce the cost of liy- ing no municipal tenemcnts have been projected, no free markets have been opened, no city-owned laundry or dairy, even suggested, while the gas, electric. telephone and water corporations have been left quite as free to furnish abomniable service at eXorbitant rates as when any frankly business mans party" was i'll power.
