 They realize that large proportion of the people who follow all sampedes not sufficiently equipped either physically mentally financially with food supplies to long engage in the great scramble for gold It is of where rush and few chosen But the lure of sudden wealth most tempting and cannot be discouraged Past experience has demonstrated that omes the most neXperi enced miner will prove lucky locating the most valuable claim and few months labor will make him independently wealthy for life.

NEW PLACER MINING LAW

The following from the Dawson Daily News is inter eng article subject that is of general interest throughout Alaska:
 sThe mining law which was enacted in Juneau for Alaska few weeks ago is causing widespread comment throughout the North Yukoners close to Alaska and many have interests in Alaska that the law of the neigh boring territory is being watched in Dawson as we'll as elsewhere in the Norhand with keenest interest The discovery the pacer the Sushanna and the protests heard from Nome dedgemen respect to the law has caused quite number to look carefully into the act.
 One of the most interesting features of the act is that requiring discovery work to the extent of $OO in value to be done each claim within 90 days after discovery It also required that $1OO in work be done claim annually The object of representation york; which required in placer and quartz fields the world is to make the stalker work the ground get out o the and make for who willing to work.
 T is particularly desirable in rich placer fields that ground not lie idle too long, Men flock the region by the hundreds and often thousands If the ground available the men will work the whole country and the will be developed quickly If the not given opportunity the majority will be discouraged and will leave the place. and the region will be slow in development.
 In the Kalgoorie regions the deposits rich limited to tracts 100 feet square, and could not leave than limited number of hours without forfetng the ground The result that thousands digging in short tme and produced fabulous yield.
 'Of course there exceptions and conditions have a great deal to do with affairs Some from the Sushanna ninety days enough for the prospecor stake out and get outfit into that region sufficient keep him winter If the time is too short there is serious defect in the law The sushanna prospector pettonng for extension of tme It does not likely extension be secured because the law is made by the legislature winch IS not to meet for months. The recently enacted law becomes effective August The stakngs made the Susanna to date therefore, under the old law which lis generous

THE DISAPPOINTED MAY KNOCK

Soon of the disappointed ampeder be expected to return and knock the country Many who from other sections and started from McCarthy oyer the trail had scarcely sufficient food to get them to gold diggngs In instances they will be compelled to return after day two there not having had sufficient time look the ground Others have returned when only partially n while again only far Cordova wisely realizing that they did not have the purchase the food necessary remain in the interior and do any locating and prospecting Naturally of the referred to will knock the country order to explain their failure make good It has been this since gold stampedes have been heard of and likely will continue

AID NEEDED FOR TRAIL

As yet we have heard nothing to indicate that the Alaska Road Commission is familiar with the fact that many hundreds ot rospecors swarming poor trail from Mccarthy to Scoai Pass Hundreds of thousands of dollars had preciousy been expended and half dozen lives the Nzina country before it decided bridge the treacherous Nizina river which will likely be built this winter few thousand dollars badly needed the trail An emergency exists and if the road officials in Alaska helpless the matter dsincned to assist the some prospecor possibly the authorities at Washington may figure out render needed and much deserved aid ---O-O-O--
 It will be unfortunate for Seward if the government should figure out accessible way of reaching the Matanuka coal fields The people of that have demonstrated much pluck in placing their faith the future importance of their delightful little city that they deserve growth rapid and substantial And they surely will have if the government accepts Seward the terminus of railroad the Maanuska coal fields and Kuskokwm gold country They have of the pretiest town sites Alaska substan tiay built little city, populated by enterprsing and hopeful people,

FEDERAL OFFICIALS FOR CHIsANA

All reports being received from the gold dggngs indicate that there likely be most positive need for United States deputy marshal in that territory The pros pecors there already realize the necessity of official preserve law and order They have indicated willingness to call miners meeting and select they satisfactory person to act They tried to induce the deputy marshal of the Chtna district and the chief of police of Cordova to remain and accept the duties of the oc but neither of these had sufficient supplies to remain and neither cared for the office.
 The proper thing do for the United States marshal of
 this district to wire the circumstances to the department of justice at Washington and to authorization for the appointment of deputy at Csana and have provision made for the extraordinary of travel to the dgngs and maintenance while there. If the facts properly presented most reasonable that the attorney general will such order that will permit the marshal to select deputy of ability who would be willing to there and give that life and property would be safe this winter
 It is reported that there is already considerable claim jumping filing claims by power of attorney and recording the power days afterwards locations by aens and other irregularities Many questions likely to arise that would make that the United States commissioner should be attorney have knowledge of the law and to be in position to properly interpret it. He houud also be of rreproachabe honesty and integrity The present official who appointed last May is who has been in the White River country for several years and has mining interests there He be fair and honest but informed he has no knowledge of law.
