NEW SYNDICATE FORMED
 TO OPERATE IN TERRITORY

It is reported here that Charles K Lip man, New York hnancier, has completed the formation of group of powerful cap- italists who will exploit the gold placers of the Iditarod and Fairbanks on large scale. They will probably commence actual work next summer, enlarging considerably their present holdings.
 The new company is said to be capital ized on huge scale, and will be domi nant factor in the mining situation in those communities where it will operate.
 It is understood that it's preliminary op- erations will be confined to dredging, but placer deposits will not solely control the new syndicste's activities, quartz mines also being part of the prospects of the new group. Unlike other financial concerns which have made Alaska the field of their operations this company will not be quoted on the stock exchange, and will be strictly limited in membership to those capitalists who have now grouped their interests to exploit Alaska. It will be neither a corporation nor joint stock company in any sense of the word, the operations being carried on on an individual basis; but apparently with unlimited capital ..,,f
 That it is in any way an invasion of the field hitherto occupied by the Alaska syndi cate is denied by the promoters of the group.

LANES PROPOSAL NOT NEW

The proposal of Secretary Lane that the natural resources of Alaska be set apart for the benefit of the territory IS not wholly a new idea, though it is the first time that such policy has been proposed by an of- fcial high in the executive branch of the government. More than a score of years ago the late Senator John T. Morgan of Alabama urged that the federal govern ment donate to the separate states all the natural resources within their respective boundaries, and he made an argument in favor of the proposal that has never been successfully answered. The venerable men tor of the senate at that time contended that the government of the people is so closely connected with the ownership and control of the soil and other natural resources that the continuance of federal management of them had become 8 menace to self-govern- ment in the states It required a regime of Roosevelt's new nationalism and Pinchot to demonstrate the wisdom of Morgan's con- tentlOn Out It mas been OemOnstlateu to the satisfaction of those living in states and territories where the federal government is in control of large areas of their territory.
 To make Secretary Lanes proposition con form to the amendment offered in the sen- ate in the early sos by Senator Morgan it would be necessary that the board of di- rectors or commission that he would estab- fish to have charge of the natural resources of Alaska should be understood as holding them in trust for the coming state or states to be erected in the North. Logically, with the admission of Alaska to statehood, the trust should cease and the remnant of the natural resources should be turned over to the state, just as Morgan would have turned over the public lands and other resources within the separate states to those states for local administration twenty years ago.-Ju- neau Empire.

Placer tin has been found with the placer gold in the gravels of Sullivan creek, in the Rampant district. The tin is in smoothly rounded pebbles of cassiterite, or oixde of tin, and the area in which tin is found IS less than mile long. In the richest spots as much as half pound of tin to the pan is reported, which, at the present value of the ore, would give the ground value of SIS to S20 per yard The gold and tin have travelled together, as where one is found in greatest quantity the other is in like pro- portion The tin is regarded as a nuisance by the miners as it is difficult to separate from the gold With cheaper transporta
