The Prospector has received several inquiries concerning the new mining laws of Alaska from prospectors who have not had an opportunity of becoming famil- far with it's provisions. Thesmin- ing law was published in it's en- til ety in the issue of May 12, and the issue of that date has been exhausted.
 The laws, both. h.placer and lode, have recently been published in pamphlet form by $. Blum & Co.,, and copies may be obtained from them. The booklet also contains brief synopsis of the mining laws which has been carefully prepared covering all the. vital points and any person who fol- lows the instructions cannot fail to properly protect his ground.

Gold Queen, consort Of tho Gold
 asi.' King, Has Boon Found at q. Port WeIIs.

Specimens of rich quartz from a new discovery on Esther Pas sage are on view at the Senate and are proving a magnet for the miners and prospectors in town. The quartz is the richest that has ever been found ill the Port Wells district and has only been equalled in this section by samples from the Gold King. The find was made by Ole Han son, Frank Gustaffson and An drew Burkland. The property is located about the middle of Es- ther Passage on the mainland. The district has been prospected for several years but nothing of a startling nature had ever been discovered before. The lead from which the samples were taken is in heavy timber and was only discovered when the locators happened to stumble across it. They had found some float which banned. we'll although showing no free gold and were trying to trace where the float came from when they found the lead. The quartz from the lead and the pieces of float are similar and no doubt are from the same ore body.
 The discOvcrers did not wait to do any development work, but state that Uhe lead is exposed for distance of about 200 feet and is from six to twelve inches wide. Both ends of the lead are covered by heavy timber. The rich samples brought up were taken from a payshoot which is at the upper end of the lead and would assay hundreds of dollars per ton. The property has been named the Gold Queen, as Mr. Pontus, the discOverer of the Gold King, is also interested in the new find.
 The location of the property is said to present ideal conditions for mining. The lead is located in the midst of heavy timber and is at an altitude of about 700 it. The men came to town to record their claims and to secure sup plies to begin the work of d@vcl- Upmcnt.

The meeting held in Moose hall last night to take steps to investigate the new strike near the headwaters of the Tasnuna a fId Matanuska rivers was well attended. There was notice- able absence of business and professional men, not more than fifteen or twenty of them being present. Mr." E.. Bunnell was appointed chairman and w H. Caswell acted as secretary. The prevailing sentiment of the meeting was that the people |pf Valdez should act in con- aervative manner and should dis courage any attempt to create a stampede before it had been dem- illustrated that the camp had mer- it. Letters from Knik and the reports of the strike as printed in the Seward Gateway were read and the chairman then called for information from those in the hall who knew anything of the district.
 Mr.. Dolph Smith was of the opinion that the route over the glacier was practical and that the distance to the diggings would be found to be less than 100 miles. He thought it would be wise to first investigate the re- liability of the strike, as he re- membered a strike reported from that district six years ago.
 After siderable discussion "a motion prevailed providing that a party of three be sent to the district to report on the condi- tiOns and value of the strike. The routes to be selected by committee.
 Messrs. Carroll and Cassidy both believed the distance to the new camp to be less than 100 miles. The latter was in that district last winter and he was Opposed to any publicity being given the matter on the outside before authentic information had been secured.
 MT. Frame thought Valdez should let the world know that Valdez people were Investigating the strike in order That the names of the district would be linked together.
 Mr. Ritchie believed it would be bad policy to send out any re- ports at this time which would necessarily be based on Inc vague which the meeting possessed. He was in favor of sending in number of men if necessary to ascertain conditions and urged the publicity cOmmit- tee to use care in their report until the men sent in had made their report.
 A committee was appointed to raise funds to send men to the camp to report on it and the best route to the diggings. Those named were: Chas. Day, Dr. Boyle, Chas. Rudolph, Dolph Smith and Jack Carroll.
 A publicity committee was ap- pointed by the chairman as fol- lows: R. J. McChesney, John Frame and Chas. Day.

STRONG OPPOSITION
TO NICARAGUA PLAN
Liberals Protest Against Yielding Any
Vestige Of Sovereignty to the
United States.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-Opposition
in the senate to the plan OF President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan for an
American protectoratc over Nicaragua
has received strong support from rep
resentatives Of the Liberal party in
that republic. When the senate COM
mittee op foreign relations takes up the
new treaty again tomorrow 1t will be
with the knowledge that strong ele~
ment III Nicaragua is adverse to yield
ing any vestige of sovereignty to the
United States.
Protests against the treaty are being
made In Washington by General Fran
cisco Altschul, representative Of the
Nicaraguan liberalists. Hhe contends
that many of his people don t favor the
idea OF the protectorate, although they
are willing to make treaty to give
the United States the proposed perpet-
ual canal building rights over the Nj
caraguan route.
A preliminary draft of the treaty is
now before the senate committee and
will be considered at meeting tomor-
row. Senators Borah, Clarke Of Arkan-
sas, Williams and others who will op-
pose the convention, base their obiec-
tions on the claim that a protectorate
over anv Central American country
would be radical departure from the
settled foreign policy Of the United
States.

With Commercial Club Re-
trenchment Policy.

secretary of the Commercial club, and
recently assistant manager Of the pub
liclty bureau, severed his connection
with both organizations yesterday. Mr..
Mackenzie was officially notified by

that the change was in connection with
the retrenchment policy now being pur-
sued.
When Mr.. Mackenzie was requested
to resign last February he refused on
the grounds that he was under contract
to work for one year. He based this
contention on bylaw OF. the club,
which, after naming the officers, says
that "they shall hold office for one
year, or until their Successors are duly
elected and qualified AT the time he
was assistant secretary of the club. In
llclty bureau, his salary being paid
