HAS HIGH OPINION
OF OUR MINES

Edward T. Nolan, of New York,
who has been qietly investigating
mining conditions along the Copper
River & Northwestern Railway, left
for Valdez last evening on the Pros
pector to examine a couple of propo-
sitions in that camp.
Mr.. Nolan visited the North Star
property and said the owners have
an excellent showing. They have
followed a six-foot lead a distance
of 200 feet and are still in the ore.
Their last assay gave values in gold
S47.50 to the ton. The man from
New York also examined the Nc
Kinley Lake district and looked at
ores from the different properties.
To my mind, said he, the Nc
Kinley Lake district is a second
Treadwell. All that is needed is cap
ital From what little l have seen
and am able to judge, there are i'm
mense bodies of low grade ore with
in easy distance of the Copper River
& Northwestern Railway and Cor
dova, and enough development work
has been carried on already to justi-
fy the expenditure of large sum
of money. The economic features
cheap transportation. timber for
mining, and water power-will en-
able the owners or promoters to
realize good values on low grade
ore, providing there is enough of it,
and from all | have heard and OBJ
served there is no question regard
ing the quantity.
From my opinion l believe the
whole Copper River country is heav-
lily mineralized. OF course, the same
as in all quartz countries, it will re-
Guire a great deal of time, labor and
money to show up the values. Nat
urally quartz country is slow in
development, and requires the ex-
penditure of a great deal of money.
Prospectors should also remember
that the man who puts in his money
is entitled to be shown something
for the risk he assumes.
"Those who have made money at
mining are anxious and eager to in
vest and there is no need for any
good proposition to go begging. The
first thing necessary, however, is for
prospectors to do enough work in
good faith to try and show up some
thing"

From all reports Valdez will not
have a dearth of Legislative candi-
dates. Already the following have
been spoken of, and some of them
are making an active campaign
Mayor Elmer E. Richie, Col. B. F.
Willard, DR.. Boyle, Geo. E. Baldwin,
F. NJ. Brown and John Frame. And
then there are others. Most of them
prefer to run for the Senate.

ALL the privileges of government are
not to the trusts. Nor are they faith
cred by the tariff. In his report for
the year ending June 80, last, the post
master general says that this year
there will be deficit of 81, 780, 900.
This deficit would not exist if the gov
eminent franks were not used to cover
the postage on purely campaign litera-
ture which if it paid postage the same
as other mail, would have brought the
government So, 25O,0 That is to say,
the people, through this abuse of the
franking system, are paying postal
bill for the office seekers of So, 250, 600;
that if they did not there would be a
surplus in the postoffice treasury of
81, 40, 900. There has long been de-
mand for the better regulation of pos
tai franks. But it so far has come to
nothing probably because the only men
who have authority to regulate their
use are the principal beneficiaries of
the abuses-that is congressman. Ev-
cry time that or the big mileage allow
ances are challenged the matter is
quietly permitted to expire behind the
doors of committee room. Govern
ment mail should be franked. That is
logical. But the private use of the
frank issue to government officials
should be stopped. Putting postal
franks to campaign use is putting
public privilege to private use. And
it gives a tremendous lever to the in
cumbent against his opponent.

when the Union Pacific railroad COM
pany bought 46 per cent of the stock OF
the Southern Pacific railway system,
was split asunder by the supreme court
of the United States as a violation OF

the end of the merger before it, the
court sent forth its portentious declar-
alton that "while the law may not be
able to enforce competition, it can
reach combinations which render COM
