acts freely heard 1t open that NJ R. Healy
forced the discharge of faithful employee because he had the
courage to circulate petition asking the this
same Healy from position that he dshonorng And
Judge Heay and his frends have but recently publicly
boasted that they would get another official who had sign
ed this petition Under threats of arrest and other
persecution this unworthy judge and his obedent
Deputy Marshal Brown, have made themselves the
community where they expected preserve peace
order But they longer feared for long they
permitted to retain office their actions will be carefully scru
inzed and reguarity gdong their part will be
publicly exposed The editor of the Daily Alaskan will stand
the end back of this effort to from position of
trust and honor unworthy official who is American
citizen The public who know of his have placed their
seal OF dsapprova the further tolerance of his official
existence He may try to cloud the issue by crying poics
but this false hearted official vampire knows that the writer
knows that there dozen why he should be
es thrown from the office he has esecated If

E. w. Brooks, of the Rex Mining
Company, arrived in Chitina Thurs
day for the purpose of procuring
some supplies. His company is put
ting a hydraulic plant on Rex Creek.
Mr.. Brooks, who is vice president of
the company, has charge of the work
and reports very good progress. He
is consistent in his statements and
in predicting good season for the
Nizina country We believe he knows
whereof he speaks.
The warm weather is threatening
to break up the Copper River. The
ice Is not nearly as heavy this win
ter as usual, and it is probable that
the break up will not damage the
railroad bridge to any great extent.

Wolking was appointed foreman in
charge of construction work on the

friends here are pleased at his ad-
vancement.
Everything possible is being done

plant, and large force of men is
now employed in getting it ready for
business. Practically all of the
heavy timbers and lumber used in
| its construction are of native stock,
having been sawed at Kennecott.
William Deyo has received a new
| camera and is now in a position to
get larger pictures of the wonderful
scenery in this neighborhood. His
collection of Chitina valley scenes.
including several remarkable photo
graphs of Mount Blackburn, cannot
be excelled.
T. R. Hunt, general foreman, left

his leaving.

logging camp on the last train with
all of his crew, excepting four men,
left behind for the loading of logs.
HE has been appointed foreman of
outside operations at this place.

fuel at the power house, and the
change to oil will be welcomed.

Horses and rigs are plentiful in
Chitina this spring, and can be OBJ
tanned from SIS to 5000. The stock
available here can handle any freight
that will probably arrive.
1t is estimated that there are 100
dogs in Chitina having tractive
power ranging from two to 80
pounds, or an average of about 35
pounds. Properly handled this force
would move about ten tons of freight
on the Fairbanks trail in the pres
ent condition.
The recent rains and sunny days
have spoiled the trail on a few hills
with a south slope. Otherwise it is
in prime condition. Winter is not
over and the experienced ones look
for more snow.
There have been several inquiries
at the Leader office regarding the
legality of any instrument made by

are delaying until they are assured
that an alien can do legal work that

Mining in Parts of Utah IS
Reported as Not At All
Profitable.

WASFIINGToCS. D. c., Sept 10
In June. 1911, a reconnaissance or
the north end OF the northern group
of the La sal Mountains, Utah. was
made by james NJ. Hill, OF the
! United states Geological Survey. ffE
/: the purpose of ascertaining the ex-
tent and value of the ore deposits
and the prospects for future devel-
opment of the region. a report on
! this work has just been published by
the Geological Survey as Bulletin
SION. entitled Notes on the North
ern La Sal Mountains. Grand
ECounty. Utah"
The La san mountains are in the
Colorado plateau region. which is
characterized by mesas cut by can
yons from 1000 to $500 feet deep,
With steep clins 500 and 500 feet
high. Above this relative level
plateau, which has a general eleva-
ton OF 5000 feet. the northern
group Of the mountains rises abrupt
IIy at Mount Was to a height OF
1855 feet
Two classes Of mineral deposits
are worked in the vicinity OF Basin
and Mesa. In the mountains there
ar several quartz mining prospects
and at least one locality where
placer gold has been recovered. The
ouantz mines have made practically
no production. and it Is probable
that $1,000 would cover the entire
output from both quartz and placer
mining in the region.
The quartz prospects in the north !
chm La sal Mountains are few in
number and the value OF the ore is
Low even at the surface, where many
'gold-bearing deposits in other dis
trfcts are enriched. The veins, sol
far as they could be seen by MI
Hill, are small and contain much
barren quartz. The high charges for
transportation to the railroad at
cisco ranging from $12 to SIS for
outbound and $25 ton for inbound
freight, are an additional handicap.
