Thanksgiving Proclamation

The observance of day of thanks- giving by the people of this nation has been an annual custom having its be- ginning in the days of the Pilgrim Fathers, who thus early in sthe history of our country set apart a day for the giving of thanks to Almighty God for mercies vouchsafed and blessings be- stowed upon them as strangers in a strange land. As 1t has been again recognized by the President of the United States, and in accordance there with, l, J. F. A. Strong, Governor of the Territory of Alaska, do appoint Thurs day, the twenty seventh day of Novem. Der, nineteen hundred and thirteen, a day of Thanksgiving.
 And l recommend that upon that day the people Of Alaska do refrain as far as may be from labor and unite in returning thanks 10 the Giver of all good things for the blessings bestowed and the favors received at His hands; for the peace that pervades the nation; for the prosperity that it enjoys; for the progress that the people of AIaska have made in the development of the bountiful resources of the Territory, and for the promise which the future affords for the upbuilding of a mighty commonwealth, where life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness shall be fully aseured to all And while giving thanks for the blessings we enjoy, let us not be unmindful of those who may be lees fortunate in life and remember that all are bound by the ties of common brotherhood.
 Given under my hand and the seal of Alaska, in Juneau, the Capital, this fifth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and thirteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the one hundred and thirty eighth.

The Valdez Miner says; Falcon Jos- lin is optimistic of the future of the mining industry in Alaska and believes it will take a thousand years to exhaust the placers of the territory. While ap bearing before the senate committee re- gently he gave testimony as follows: "In my judgment the placer mining in- dustry of Alaska will last thousand years, the area suitable for placers is SO enormous. What we are working there now is only the gravels that carry from three to ten dollars per yard. You can- not work gravels that carry less now, but once we have transportation, and work as they do in California, those carrying seven cents a yard. We have got 80 nearly au unlimited area of it that no man can forsee the end of that industry in Alaska. There are thirty or forty dredges in the Seward renin- sula. There is oue dredge at Fairbanks and another in the Circle district. There are eight or ten dredges in the Klondike. They operate one hundred and fifty days per year. They usually work until November, beginning some time in May. They are working gravels at Dawson, which is an older camp camp than Fairbanks, that carry fifty cents per yard. And in some cases they are working gravel by dredging as low as forty cents per yard at profit in the Dawson country. When our transportation gets better, we shall be able to work similar gravels in Alaska. One great thing is that nearly the whole area of Alaska is gold bearing. There are placers and quartz. It has been said, I believe the statistics and ex- plorations of the geological survey show it. that you could go from Alaska at Ketchikau, where there are impOr- tant mines, along this route by way of Haines, a distance of two thousand miles in a straight line, and that in every twenty-mile strip along that route you could develop gold mines. It is infinitely greater than any other area of gold country that has ever been found in the world"

The vessels log tells of a two hours battle with a great sperm whale, which after being bar pooned charged the little steamer and com pletely disabled her. It was on June 8, while the Star l was off shore that the big fellow was sighted and a chase begun. He was soon overhauled and pierced by the harpoon gudner's first shot from the bow. Charging his newly discovered enemy the whale dived under the steamer, coming up at her stern. So great was the force of the plunge that the rudder'chains were broken, putting the steering gear of the Star 1. out of commission. The big sperm was bagged after great difficulty, and as he was hoated alongside it was discovered that the steamer had been completely disabled. After reaching port it was found necessary to beach the vessel for repairs to her rudder During the season the crew of the Star l. bagged thirty.three sperm, twenty one sulphur bottoms and twenty three hump and 6u backs

SALARIES
Judge S0mers Goes
on Record

Esmeralda County is going after
the salary question in earnest. The
delegation to the Legislature is af-
ter reductions and they will be
framed and passed before the season
closes. The grand jury of the coun
ty has made many suggestions along
the line of retrenchment and bills
coverin G the question will be intro
duced. 1t is realized that the county
must get down to the revenue of the
day and not of the past. In this con-
nection Judge Somers makes the fol-
lowing suggestions, which coming
from the judge who gets the salary.
sounds like business:
He recommended that the bill that
has been sent to the Esmeralda Del
egation at Carson City be made to
include reduction of the pay of the
Judge of the district court
The present pay. he said. was right
and adequate in the earlier days OF
the county. when the business of the
court warranted it, but at this time
a reduction in the volume of business
before the court. he said. would JUS
tify a reduction in the salary of the
Judge As a district Judge is a con
stitutional officer. however. it would
not be possible to reduce the salary
at this time. but the present term
would terminate two years hence.
and he believed the provision should
be made for lower salary for the
following term.

A Favorable Report
From Nevada Hills

the past has caused serious Interrupt
ton of work. is now very greatly i'm
proved, since the completion by the
power company OF retaining dam
which will allow them 70 impound
the rush of water during the early
spring run-off, and at this date it
seems probable that we shall have
continuous power service in the fu-
ture
Being dependent on the mine to
furnish water for milling operations,
there have been times in the past
when production might have been in
reased had additional water been
available However. the curtailment
of production has not been great
enough in any manner to warrant the
expenditure which would be neces-
sary in order to pipe in water from
the outside The plans for develop
ment in the immediate future include
the sinking Of the present shaft,
which, of course. may materially in
crease the present supply of water.
