MINERS SETTLE DISPUTE


 The following communication was received from a correSpon- dent in Sunrise concerning the miners meeting recently held there to settle a dispute between Two prospectors:
 The first miners meeting 'nr a i"z. | years was held in Sunrise .,iarch ?. The occas- lon was a disagreement be- tween two prospectors enroute for the Iditarod. \ satisfactory dissolution of partnership and an equitable division of the out fit was affected in less than an hour.
 In the early days of the Sixty mile district. when the nearest court was in Sitka, all disputes and differences of a serious character were settled in the miners meetings. About l5 years ago a commissioner was stationed at Sunrise. That ar rangement marked the end of The miners meetings.
 Here are some points of dis tlnction between the processes of justice in q miners meeting and those that obtain in the court:
 1. The business of miner : meeting Is conducted in the English language. Until Judge J. L.Gallaher. of Kodiak, con- vened court in Sunrise. to try a lady for selling whiskey to an Indian such expressions as Capias. Certiorair. Alias writ respondent. plaintiff-in-error Gaveat Emptor. de bonis non we're tabooed in the camp Com missioner Brooks, Brownlow, IIildreth and Goodell did what faithful officers could to pop ularize these and kindred legal terms. but men engaged ;n placer mining don't take kindly to such talk.
 ?, There is q time limit OH all the proceedings of a miner meeting. Most controversies, are settled in so many minutes, and if Is all unusual difficulty that can't be strengthened out n hours. This arrangements seems to suit the contestants and miners but in the court. learned counsel often seen hurried if expected to finish . case in three years.
 3. There is not I cent of eX- Dense attaching 10 2 trial be- fore miners meeting. Though the matters may in. volve thousands of dollars, it is tried and settled without money and without price. This defect is most apparent to law yers, but il is extremely popu- lar with the contestants.
 i. There is not one appea. from the decision of q miners meeting 10 ten from the decis ions of court.-Seward Gate way.

THE RRITIShER
 GETS THE BENEFIT

IAere has been considerable speculation in Alaskan towns as to what became of the duty formerly charged on British Columbia coal. since the pr'ce Of thiSeoal has been uniformly higher to consumers after the removal of the duty.
 It Was supposed of course, in line with free trade arguments, nat with he removal of the duty th. coal would be that much cheaper to consumers. Even before the strike occur red to help boost the price, there was no reduction in the price. The Valdez Prospector has figured t out that the con- >pany gets the benefit. It says;
 The coal companies of Brit i,h Columbia have raised the price Of coal 90 cents the ton so as to absorb the 45 cents duty formerly paid by Ameri- can importers"
 When the duty was in force 1t paid all the expenses of runn- ing the customs offices in Alas ka. The money for this is now taken from the United States treasury. therefore is an indi- rect tax on the consumer. in ad- dition to paying British Colum bia operators 90 cents more per ton for coal. In theory, it was intended tha the consum- CTS should get the benefit of the removal Of the duty, but it does not work out that way in practice.
 The best solution of the whole question: in the view of one Alaskan, ''is to open Alas ka coal mines. We have just as good grades of coal as may be found in any part of the world and when it is placed in competition with outside coal there ought 10 be a difference in favor of the Alaskan pro- duct. We would at least have the satisfaction Of knowing that our money went to pay wages Of the heads of families resid- ing in Alaska and thus be build ing Up our own communities, instead of contributing to the support Of British Columbia.

This looks like one of the best crop
years we will have had for several
years and it seems pity if there
is one vacant, cultivated acre left
unseeded this summer. Farmers
and citizens must realize that the
Mouse river Loop is in the corn
belt, they must also realize that
lands are cheaper here in proportion,
than anywhere on earth, considering
the soil, climate and citizenship,

We feel confident that we will do a
lot of farm business this year and
it looks now as if prices were going
to soar, especially if our war with
Mexico will last any length of time.
Wheat is already advancing, all live

have prosperous year. We would
like to list few more farms and
we believe we have the facilities for
disposing of them.

not to overlook Minot City property.
