THE ELECTION.

The result cf last Tuesdays cleo ion should be eminently satisfactory, for there is now practically assured careful and economical admins traitor of the city's affairs for the next 12 months There is no reason to expect that the course of retrench- ment mapped cut by the late coun- il will be departed from, and 1t is therefore most probable the tax levy next fall will not be more than half of that Of 1910, unless some extraor- dinary appropriations have to be made.
 The majority of the men elected are business men who are we'll ac- quainted with lCcal affairs and they can be trusted to look after the city's business as carefully as if it were heir own affairs they were attend ing to. With the city in debt only 10 the extent of less than s6,000, and with more than four times that amount owing for delinquent taxes, here is good reason to hope that next fall will see all of the old burden of debt removed and the city once more able to pay it's way.

MINE INSPECTION.

Last June two bills which af- Nected Alaska were passed by the congress of the United States One of them provided for the erection of detention hospitals at Nome and Fairbanks and the other for the ap- pointment of two mining inspectors. Our governor has discovered tha' the benefits accruing from these bills are not for Alaskans just yet, and he has conjured up extraordinary reasons to fit each case
 When he found, six months after the passage of the bill, and the fact had been called to his attention that such a bill had been passed, that
 here was no appropriation made for a site for the hospital here, he refused to allow the donation of a site because, he said, he did not be- lieve such course would be war ranted. This, in the face of the fact
 hat every site on which govern ment building stands in Fairbanks has been donated. Neglecting to take steps to remedy the defect, the mat ter is still in abeyance.
 At the session before last an amend ment was made to the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill which provided for the appointment of two mining in- spectors for Alaska at a salary of s2,000 year. The matter -ad ap parently escaped the attention of the governor until it was brought tc his notice in January last by James P. Collins, of this camp. In reply to letter written by this gentleman Governor Clark wrote as follows on March 6:
 18th of January, making inquiry as Q the mine inspection law. An amendment was passed to the Sun dry Civil Appropriation bill in the spring of last year extending the coal mine inspection law of the southwestern territories to the terri tory of Alaska, with the provision that the inspection should apply to precious metal mines as we'll as coal mines. It has now been found that the salaries provided in the old law are altogether too small to enable the administration to secure suitable inspectors in Alaska, and the matter was brought to the attention of con-

HARMON IS WITH US.

As will be seen from a letter print ed on another page from Governor Judson Harmon, of Ohio, this poten- tial presidential possibility Is right in line with the people of Alaska in their demand for home rule. It is good to know this, but Governor liar mons statement was to be expected as he is man who strictly ad- heres to the platform of his party, and the Democratic prCnunciamento issued at the Denver convention in July, 1908, admitted of no miscon- struction in regard to the treatment it demanded for the territory.
 This promise from the party should be. in itself. sufficient to induce Alas kans to vote the Democratic ticket next year, fer it must be apparent to even the dullest by this time that there is nothing to-hope from Re publican administration.

 AS the mine inspectors duties would be such as would occupy only part of his time il is certainly con ceivable that competent man could he obtained. even in the interior. to undertake the work at a salary of s2000 year, but it is not on record that anyone in Fairbanks has ever been informed that such a position was to be had for the asking
 In view of the fact that there has been constant conflict between the delegates sent from Alaska and the governors of Alaska, many will en- certain the belief that Governor Clark is not anxious to see Alaska benefit by such laws as are originat- ed by any other than himself

TWO YEARS OF CONSERVATION
Work of the Geological Survey on
 Public Coal and Other Lands

The following articles is taken from the United States geologi- cal survey press bulltin No. 450, not from the Fairbanks Times, which ran it as an original editorial" on Saturday last but did not exercise the common honesty of giving credit for it.
 "Over seventy million acres ofn cal land in the west is still owned by Uncle Sam. The coal content of this land is eronous; it can be figured only in hundreds of billions of tons. Some tracts are of immense value, containing beds of coal of the highest grade, 30, 40, 90 and so feet or more in thickness. Thhe old way was to sell the coal land. regardless of value, at the absurd figure of s10 an acre if it was more than l5 miles from railroad or at s20 if within limit. The present way is to meas u-e the coal in an acre and sell the land at a price determined by its content of coal As a result coal land has been priced as higll as S400 an acre and one tract at even $500 an acre Since March i, 1909, the Geological Survey has classified by 4O-acre tracts S,527, ,166 acres of the government coal lands, at a total valuation of s560,S15.0S1. Including the work done under the last admin istration a total of 13.4S0,53S acres has now been classified as coal land, at valuation of s631 ,619,41S. At the s10 to S20 minimum rate these lands would have valuation of S21S,ZSJ.942. so that the work done has resulted in gain to the gov ernment of nearly s420. 100000 It may be noted that the proceeds of coal-land sales are all deposited to the credit of the reclamation fund the fund that pays for the recon struction of the governments vast waterstorage projects.
 Government Appraisal is Accepted.
 The work involved in the classifi cation and valuation of the nations coal fields is immense and the scheme under which 1t has been worked out is remarkably accurate and sci entific The best evidence of it's ac- curacy is the ready acceptance of the estimates and valuations by purchas- CTS Cf coal lands and the fact that the Geological Survey is constantly re ceiving applications and petitions for the classification of coal lands

THE MATTER OF POPULATION.

According to the annual report of Collector of Customs J. R. Willis, 24,S00 people came to Alaska last year and 24000 left the territory. This would seem to be net gain in immigration of 800 for the year, but the actual gain was probably less. It is not a flattering showing, but it is a striking commentary upon existing conditions.
 If Alaskans were permitted to de- velop their own resources without being handicapped in so many ways; if their laws were less archaic, and suited to conditions; if they were permitted to govern themselves un- der a reasonable form of home rule, unhampered by Washington ignor- ance and bureaucratic red-tape and general incompetency, we believe the population would increase by leaps and bounds-even the number of na- tive sons and daughters would be largely augmented, for then there would be some inducement fer men to establish their homes and set up heir lares and penates. But left to the mercies of a congress which

I, has been the universal rule all over the world that quartz mines have been developed in districts where placer mines are found. and if there were no quartz mines de. yeIoped in the Panama it would be remarkable exception to the rest Cf the world The discovery of the great number of veins, which are un- doubtedly true Assure veins. leads to the belief that this exception will never be no'ed and gives promise that quartz mining will follow on the heels Cf placer mining and will in time employ more men and produce far more gold than the placer mines. With the showing already made there is hardly room to doubt this. but quartz industry is still in it's infancy and the same uncertainty prevailed in their beginning as to the fu ture of all the big quartz camps tha. have been discovered.

The property is located in the midst of number of other claims all of which have made excellent showings, and these would be developed on a large scale just as soon as the B.-P. property was shown to carry values at depth.
 Taken by and large the outlook appears to be better than ever be- fore in the history of the camp, and from now on Fairbanks may be eX pected to commence its evolution from the status of d mining camp to hat of city.

THE DIVIDEND.

There could be no better news for he camp than that announced Sat urday to the effect that the receivers of the WashingtCn-Alaska bank would pay another dividend of 162a per cent. today. For this payment be sides relieving very considerable amount of real distress. will be the means of encouraging many of those who had been inclined to believe the affairs of the bank were so hopelessly muddled that there was no hope of ever getting back any portion of the deposits.
 A study of the statements issued by the receivers last week will show
 hat another s169,0O0 is expected to be realized by October 1 from the outstanding loans and overdrafts of the bank, and the collection of this would mean the ability on the part of the receivers to declare another dividend of 162s per cent. If it is decided to issue scrip to the eX- 'ent of 15 per cent in anticipation of this October dividend the situation will be very materially bettered and
 he money stringency much relieved.
 In addition to this s169. 900 there is. of course. that other asset of the bank, the Gold Bar stock. While it is problematiCal as yet what will 5e received fer this stock it is cer tain that the Dexter-Horton people will overlook no opportunity of get ing a purchaser for it at good figure. This so that their over draft will be paid the quicker. Be sides this there is another s321 900 f outstanding loans on which there amount realized. So that, in reality, the outlook is not so bad as many have schooled themselves to believe md there is a substantial possibility hat there will be 75 cents paid on he dollar even if Barnette fails en- tirely. to come to the rescue and his securities turn out to be value less
 In the meantime, to those who will not be satisfied until the captain or others who are to blame are in durance vile, the national bank exam iner is recommended. If the court is solicited to ask the department of justice to send in such an official there is no doubt that the history If the bank would be laid bare in a very short time. If any criminal blame attaches to anyone that blame would be correctly placed. There is at such results, and all talk of local accountants to examine the books is so much waste of time The na- tional bank examiner is versed in banking jurisprudence, and in tracing a transaction from It's inception to it's completion knows exactly where and when, If ever, the parties to the deal stepped over the line which divides legal banking transaction from an Illegal one He would have no affiliations with any of these interested and could be trusted to render an unbiased report. On the strength of that report those who are responsible for the wrecking of the bank would be made to answer for

But some day the man who sins will
