slTKA GOLD DEPOSITS.
Report Issued by United States Geo
logical Survey.

The Sitka Mining District o.
Alaska by Adolph Knopf, is a brieI
report just issued by the United States
Geological Survey as Bulletin 504
While the output of the mines of the
Sitka district has helped to swell the
value OF the annual mineral production
of Alaska, the production has at no
time been comparable with that oil
the big producing districts of the Ter.
ritory. The gold deposits of the Sitka
district are found in quartz so that
the development has been that OF lode
Igold mining. Although the first lode
mining in Alaska is credited to the
Sitka mining dstrict-in 1S71-little or
nothing was actually produced until
1908, when discoveries of auriferous
lodes were made near Klag Bay. on
Chichagof Island
The conclusions reached by Mr..
knopf as to the mineral resources of
the Sitka district are that they CON
sist of gold and gypsum, with granite
as a possible undeveloped resource.
The gold IS found in quartz lodes and
two properties, at Klag Bay, have been
put on a productive basis. with strong
promise OF prosperous career. The
ores, which range in value from SIS
TO $50 a ton, are of considerably higher
grade than the average ore of south
eastern Alaska A large number of
ore bodies OF the same general char
acter have long been known to exist
near Sltka, but owing to the low-grade
ores contained in them none have yet
been brought to a producing stage. |
The indications afforded by present |
developments point strongly to the CON
,lusion that the entire strip of terri |
ory contiguous to the west coast of |
Island offers a more en-
inducement to the search |
or new ore bodies than any other
'art of the region.
A copy of Bulletin 504 may be had /

PENNSYLVANIA
IS FOR WILSON

Washington, d. c., Feb. 24-Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson is not only the
overwhelming choice of Pennsylvania
democrats for the presidential nomina
ton, but he will make that repubu
can stronghold a debatable state il
nominated, in the opinion of Repre-
sentative A. Mitchell Palmer, one OF
the democratic leaders in congress
and the new leader of the Pennsyl
yania democracy. Pennsylvania will
have seventy-six delegates in the Bal.
timore convention, and Mr.. Palmer re.
ports that so strong is Governor viii.
son in the estimation of the democrats
of his state that only Wilson men
have offered themselves for election
as delegates in the presidential pri-
maries to be held in April.
Il think | am well within. the mark
when l say that the democrats of
Pennsylvania are for Woodrow Wilson

all other candidates" said Mr. Palmer.
ALREADY candidates have announced
themselves for delegate to the nation.
|al convention in at least half Of the
districts of Pennsylvania and up to
the present time none of these has de-
clared preference for any other than
Governor Wilson. Sixty-four of the
pennsylvania delegates will be elected
by direct vote of the people at the
primaries on April thirteenth, and
twelve delegates at large will be elect
ed by the state convention, which. in
turn, is composed of delegates elected
by direct vote of the people. Unless
the situation should materially change
between now and the primaries, which |
is unlikely, at least seventy of the sew |
enty-six delegates from Pennsylvania
will be committed to Governor vii. |
sons nomination.
we in Pennsylvania believe not |
only that Wilson can and should be
but that he is the one can

Senator Owen last night. by the

ed or indorsed in Oklahoma, the voters
will go to their respective polling places
and vote for their own individual
choice. bel eve what was fixed up in
county conventions and attempted in
the state convention to be a Haskell

because it is about evenly divided"
Judge Bob Williams.
The leader of the Clark forces said
that although the Wilson fellows made
them swallow compromise against
their will, still he thought that under
the circumstances the Clark men did
the best they could for themselves.

entire state will be entirely satisfied

They said that | was afraid to adyo
cate my preference for president in
the state of Oklahoma" said Senator
Gore, the blind senator, who was the
master of ceremonies of the state con.
vention and leader of the Wilson
forces. Il entered the fight for Will
son, and we have won. We did not
believe at the first that we could in
struct solid delegation to the national
convention without creating a split in
the democracy of this great and glor-
ious state of ours and we decided to
send split delegation to save the
party.
This we have done and | believe

Financially it is by all odds the

poorest of the rich states, This is
to say West Virginia, despite its
literally enormous wealth in coal,

its people less for the support Of
its many large and fine public in
