Two ALASKhNS
In NEW Field

Captain J. J Donovan has now taken
4 flyer in the mining game in South
America. Together with Dave John
II, an od-timer in the North and
one Of the lucky Idtarod miners, he
has taken lease and option on the
Cachj Cachi mining property in the
Province Of Sandia, Peru, according to
a letter to Marshal H. X. Love, Of
Fairbanks, dated ArequipA, Peru,
March Is last.
The option had been taken three
day, before. Donovan and johnson in
tended TO leave for an examination Of
the placer property the next day. Tue
captain said he was in good health and
was gradually becoming acclimated.
copy of the agreement, as well as
a typewriter report of the properly,
made previously by an English mining
engineer, enclosed in the letter to the
marshal, proved interesting. The
two NUrthernerS have under option a
total of l23 claims of four hectares
each. AS a hectare is equal to about
two and one-half acres, the total area
that The men are to prospect comprises
|, 230 acres Of land. The land is owned
by one Godfroy Sahli. He is to get
p per cent. royalty of the gross out
pat for all work done on the claim, and
in the event that an option to purchase
is desired to be made binding, deposit
of E200 must be made to insure good
faith. Tie option to purchase expires
September so, 1913, the price being
stated to be $4,000, less the amount
paid in as royalties.
The report of the engineer on the
property is, on the whole, promising
The claims are 779 kilometers from
Mollendo, the seaport. Two hundred
and thirty miles has be travelled on foot
or with mules. The freight rate per
ton to the diggings is equivalent to
S. in gold. The supply center is Are
quipa, on the railroad from Mollendo
to the interior.
The gravel deposit that is believed
by the engineer to be gold bearing and
workable by the hydraulic method, is
on the eastern slope Of the Andes and
at an altitude of $500 feet. Old work
ings are still in existence on some of
the claims. and, according to the en-
gineer, considerable gold has been
taken out. The workings are very ex-
tensive, and it is said that about G,000
Indians were at one time employed on
the claims by the Spaniards, probably
in the year 1850. The old canals hat

coast places and return to Alaska il

Mr.. Hunter landed at Circle in 1892
He has not been Outside in eight years
He was first to discover gold on Hunter
creek, Rampant district, which never
fulfilled its early promises, but has
been tried out by many oldtimers

OPHIR'S COMPLAINT.

In the dissatisfaction manifested by the people Of
Ophr precinct there deeper meaning than will probably
be comprehended by the officials who listen to their
plants. The withdrawal of deputy marshal from the
region but an incident in long chain of mistakes. The
idea of Capitalization have gotten such hold upon
the minds Of officials that they largely blinded to the
force of and the practical side Of governmental
affairs.
In communities close in to court headquarters deputies
stationed where population production and probabili
ties of future growth all inferior to those Ophr The
system favorable the rmer established communities
makes for contraction where expansion offers the only hope
in the failure to provide officials for the lesser developed
roads and other improvements in many applying the
taxes collected from them to the direct interest of the
advanced centers of the territory The just way and
the way calculated to promote the advancement of
Alaska whole would be to the order and let the
benefits rather flow outward from the center of greater
development We believe this is principle that holds
good III any kind Of country, and especially in
where the resources mainly undeveopad and their
character and extent undetermined
In the Of the people of Ophir however, there
higher principle involved than material expediency
There gross moral wrong in the government holding
the people amenabe to law and withholding from the
means Of its application.
The scandalous things that have taken place in the
kuskokwim in the past ought to be sufficient hint not
let them be repeated i'll other localities not far

young Harvard base ball team cam
up and walked away with the game
The score was IA to 20 in favor O
Harvard. If the boys would practice
a little more and the home people
would root for their own team we
might be able to play bal. Pitcher
Thompson was Frustrated with the
heat about the middle of the game
and crippled the team considerably.
Our players have the ability if they
will practice more, and not depend
upon the three or four good players
to win the game Without the right
kind of support the best playe. on
earth couldn't win a game. Get busy
boys.
Last Thursday about D. M a
wind storm that did thousands of
dollars damage all over the Inland
Empire, passed Bovill, stirring up the
dust and frightening some of our
citizens into their cellars For few
it looked as though Bovill was
in the path of a cyclone. Trees were
grass before a scythe.
Fortunately the worst of it passed
us by and no damage was done in the
city. A small forest fire out at Camp |
was famed into raging furnace |
and jumped quarter of a mile in
4 few minutes, four hundred men were
called to fight the blaze and had it
lEder control short time after the
storm passed.
During the disturbance T. p. Jones
