for the abolition of the association claim and the power of attorney don't know what they want.
 It be understood by one less yersed in the compl cations of tie law than the of Blackstone who make their living by advocating the measures wanted by the dredge companies should become uneasy. The cutting of grass that they predict to grow the streets of Nome would require little exercise than to reach for book the top shelf their library and there find how much Lord Coke other wseacle charged for consultation fee the first time drdge company wanted to get ground with out paying anything for it, having secured it, hold lit without doing any work That to be where the shoe pnches the lawyers promoters and dredge specua tors. They may longer around the country, pencil and hatche hand and gobbe up what they may find and that which they heretofore acquired without doing anything for it or on it will slip through their fingers and taken up by bona fde miner who willing anxious to do s1OO worth of labor upon his mining claim.
 The poor, poor lawyers the mining law hurts them almost much they have heretofore hurt the pecors and they hollow and hollow the prospectols did before the law enacted and then the great dredging companies country did they develop: Icw many did they send out iii the field looking for ground what proportion of the money they take out do they spend for the benefit of the Territory And is ii fact the Nome Industrial Worker puts it, that dredging proposition has yet paid profit on ground that could not have been worked by some other method And if such ground worked by some other method would not the country and the people in it be far better of This section of the Territory experiencing the presence of one of those 'bg dredging companies, and what good does that great outfit do this section of Aaska Were not all in far better position before they came, when We had thousand working where have dozen
 
 work the old association claims; they can't stand it. Perhaps to help them out littie and incidentally the coun try, the lawyers and promoters will do of this work since they much concerned about the big concerns. No cries against the law has from any other ton of the Territory; the contrary the general opinion is that the measure is good 0ne perhaps not perfect in every respect but it certainly does abolish the association claim and limits the stalking by power of attorney and the big concerns will have to do 300 worth of work each 20 of the old claims, and that will give many chance grubstake and if they cant stand to do . Ul hack they blowing in the profits which they get from this countlyo San Francisco, New York and London. The country here before they came and there is ground that they are working that would not be worked had they The about the lawyers They have yet done anything that would advance the mining interests ill the Territory. They have done much to retard progress eSe caly the Seward pennsula the country was here be- they and if they had there would not have produced one single grain gold than has produced and there would probably have been and would be owned by the who found it and dug 1t out of the ground. These people have ever lived upon the trouble of others and now that we have mining law the best the Territory has had they would again the trouble and faten the hard labor of the Seward peninsula mners the they have done for many years the past The poor lawyers of Nome they anxious to the country develop by means ot large dredging They going to say what laws the miners of the Territory must live under they that the country must adjust itself to the needs of the large claim holders and the large clamhodes to the coun try and the people who have made it and will continue to make it.
