ALASKA IS TEEM|NG
WITH GOLD MINES
Some Idea Is Given of the
Tremendous Wealth of
the Territory.

There Is not very comprehensive idea
entertained by the average citizen OF
the United States OF the mineral posi-.
bilities OF Alaska. although during the
extensive testimony taken In Washing
ton upon this matter that goes to prove
the tremendous value of the territory.
The Engineering and Mining Journal
quotes one of these witnesses, Falcon
Joslin, who testified before the senate
committee on the territory OF Alaska. In
the following torms:
In my Judgment the placer mining
Industry in Alaska will last a thou
sand years, the area suitable for
placer mining is so enormous. What
We are working there now Is only the
gravels that VIII carry from So TO
vels that carry less than that. but
once we have transportation there.
and can work gravels such as they do
IN California. which carry Z cents
per yard, we have got so nearly an
unlimited area OF It that no man can
toresee the end of that industry In
Alaska. There are twenty or thirty
dredges in the Seward peninsula,
another In the Circle City district.
There are eight or ten dredges In the
Klondke. which Is identically SINH
lar country. They operate about $50
up until November. beginning some
time In May. They ire working gray
els at Dawson, which is an older
camp than Fairbanks, that carry 80
cents per yard. And in some cases
they are working gravel by dredging
as low as 40 cents per yard at
profit in the Dawson country We
Will eventually, when our transpor-
tation gets better. be able to work
sravels of that tenor in Alaska.
One great thing is that nearly the
whole area OF Alaska is gold bearing.
There are placers and quartz. II has
been said, and / believe the statistics
and exploration OF the geological
survey show IL, that you could go
from the extreme southeast OF Alas
ka, at Ketchikan, where there arc
way Of Halns. clear out TO Nome, a
line. and that in every twenty mile
section along that route you could
develop gold mines. II Is Infinitely
greater than any other area OF gold
country that has ever been found in
the world. In the state OF Califor
MIA the gold production In the past
sixty years has been about $1,000, ,0O0,
600. The reports of the United States
geological survey estimate that this
little peninsula, Seward peninsula. on
which the town OF Nome stands, con-
tains approximately as large an area
OF placer gravels as there is in Call
fornla. II is by no means superior
To the area Of the Tanana placer
gravels. and probably not superior to
those IN the Idtarod. nor in the
Koyukuk, nor In the Forty mile.

DIVIDEND is PASSED
BY THE GOLDFIELD

The directors OF the Goldfsld Consoli-
dated Mines company Mt their meeting on
Friday decided to pass the quarterly dT-
dend. This action has been anticipated
by shareholders for two reasons, one be-
ing the market action OF the stock, the
other the knowledge that earnings for
two months have been under normal
pending repairs to the mill and stope fill
ing that had to be done in the mine IT
self The treasury is understood to hold
81, 240, 900 at the present time, and with
better earnings being realized 1t is hoped
and expected that the fall dividend Will
be posted by the officials.

JOHNSON LOSES
IN OWN COUNTY
DEMOCRATS THERE VOTE DOWN
RESOLUTIONS PROPOSING
HIM FOR U. S. SENATE.

Yankton, S. Did s. johnson
last democratic nominee for governor
OF South Dakota, was denied endorse
ment for United States Senator at
the majority mass meeting of the
democratic party hey hera yester-
day. After Hickey who is a candi-
date for appointment as U. S. Mar
shall, had been selected as state pro-
posal committeeman. the question of
endorsing johnson for the Senate
came up and was rejected 1t was
expected by Johnson's friends that
enough demand for him as a candi-
date, for the United States Senate
would develop at the mass meetings
to bring him into the field. The
reputation of his candidacy in his
home county may prevent further
of his name, though
that will depend upon the state pro-
posal committee when they meet at
Pierre
Advices from Pierre are that fol-
lowers of Johnson controlled at the
majority democratic meetings there
At Plankinton, Harley Thomas,
who was a Wickham supporter in
the last democratic state primary,
was chosen majority committeeman,
while the minority meeting was
by johnson followers, thus
just reversing things democratic in
that county.

According to the clerk there were

number has been accounted for.
The firemen spread their nets and
many were saved in this way, but
the intense heat of flames drove the
1iremen back and made it necessary
TO fight the fire from the street. At
ter the tiremen moved back, the men
continued to jump from the upper
windows. The fire escapes were
blocked by the flames.

who was confirmed last week by the
senate and filed his bond at that time,
received a telegram from Washing
ton notifying him that the president
had signed his commission. Mr.. Kei-
ley at once visited Postmaster Wen
dell and asked that the postoffice be
turned over to him. Mr. Wendell re.
fused to give possession, stating he
intended to hold on until Mr.. kelley's
commission arrived by mail holding
he was not justified in surrendering
the office merely on a telegraphic
communication to Mr. Kelley. Friends
of the democratic appointee claim
Wendell should have turned over the
office but Wendell points to the pro-
vision of the postal laws which says
the office shall be turned over to MS
success or after the latter has receiv-
ed his commission, filed his bond and
taken the oath of office. He holds the
commission has not been received by
Kelley when the latter merely has n
telegram that it is on the way.
