MINERS URGED ID PROMOTE
 TEST OF LAW
THE CITIZEN WILL AID IN ANY EFFORT TO CLEAR THE
 TANGLE.

Realizing how every miner in Al aska is vitally interested in getting the present mining law tangle un travelled, The Citizen is prepared t1 do all in it's power to help the cause along and any reasonable plan to better the situation will be given due publicity If interested miners care to call a mass meeting for the purpose of mining plans for having the territorial law tested, this paper will advertise such a meeting with out charge, provided it is backed by responsible men.
 There is no mine locator in Alaska who is free from a danger of a loss of his property through the possibili- ty of his following out the pr visions of a law that may be found later to be illegal. The uncertainty of the validity of the law passed by the Alaska legislature may prevent out siders from buying property here, for no man wants to pay fir mines with uncertain titles.
 It is declared by responsible law yers that the Alaska legislature had no legal right to make a mining law and it is also pointed out that the law adopted by the territorial legisla- ture conflicts with the mining laws of the United States. and for that reason, too, is invalid.
 Among the conflicting features of he Alaska law and the Federal min ing law are the following:
 Until patent has been issued there S1nD W-rth of labor shall be performed or improve ments made during each year, in cluding the year of l1cation for each and every 20 acres or excess fraction thereof '-Federal law approved Au- gust 1, 1912.
 In violation of this, the Alaska law says that the annual assessment person to locate a claim for a oth 20 acres or fraction thereof, c9ntain- ed in any claim. EXCEPT DURING THE YEAR IN WHICH THE CLAIM IS LOCATED.
 The Federal law says that the pow CTS of attorney, which will entitle a person to locate a claim for anoth- CT person. must be duly ATKNOW' EDGED and recorded, while the Al aSka law says that the powers or attorney need not be acknowledged before a notary.
 It has always been held by the courts that no state or territory can legally pass a law which conflicts with the statutes Of the United States
 Section } of the Federal act ap- proved August 1, 1912, regulating mining in Alaska, indicates the danger of violating the federal law in an attempt to conform to the local law. This section is as follows:
 That any placer mining claim at tempted to be located in violation of this act shall be null and void, and the whole area thereof may be locat- ed by any qualified locat2r as if no such prior attempt had been made" /"

SALMON PACK GROWS.

The extraordinary growth of the Pacific coast fisheries Is sh 2wn in part by the statement compiled by the Puget Sound and Alaska Can ners' association showing the mag ritude and value of the salmon pack of the past year. It appears by this report that the actual value of the output of salmon from the Pacific east canneries during the past year was s3500O. 900 in round numbers. Of this amount the Washington pack was valued at s13.32916S. exceeding all previous records by nearly five and one half million dollars.

Slip of Foot Is
 Costly Accident
TRApPER KILLS A VALUABLE FOX SOON AFTER TRAP
 PING IT.

Chan Walker. who left Fair Johnson river. near the place where the steamer Sampson is Wiutering, is strong believer in the old proverb that there is many slip 'twixe the cup and the lip" The fact is that Mir. Walk CT has had the truth of the pro- verb f1rced upon him in a most unpleasant way recently.
 When Mir. Walker made the rounds of his traps one day not long ago. his breath was almost taken away when he discovered a black fox in one of his traps. Everyone knows that live black fox is worth all the way from 5000 to S4.500. and dreams of some easy money flashed into Walkers mind as he saw the prize.
 To safeguard his prize. Mir Walker wrapped it in his parka and. carrying it in his arms, started 10 return to camp. It was getting dark. and the trail was steep and slippery in places, and one mis-step shattered the dreams of the reward that was in store for the trapper for his fox. for he slipped and fell, turning several head springs, and finally landed his full weight on his fox. The animal was kill cd almost instantly.
 As a partial consolation for his loss, MT. Walker still has it's fur. which is being cured and will be brought to Fairbanks soon. It is understood that he will wear spiked shoes hereafter in making the rounds of his traps.

ErankIin,a Suit Of Clothes.

Shortly before the outbreak of the
Revolution Benjamin Franklin. then
postmaster general for the American
colonies, was in London trying to get
fair treatment for the Americans. His
petition was dismissed by the govern
ment as "groundless. scandalous and
vexatious. and he lost his official post.
On returning to his lodgings that night,
says Lossing's Pictorial Field Book of
the Revolution" Franklin took off the
suit of clothes he had worn and de-
clared that he would never wear ii
again until he should sign the degra-
dalton of England and the independ-
ence of America. More than ten years
later he donned the suit again when
he signed the treaty of peace which
freed the United States.

What are thy legends, o thou flag

What is thy meaning in the air amid

Flag of the sun that gIows for all,

The peaceful bugles blow and blow

What is thy meaning in the ARR Oh,

Oh, my America, whose flag we throne

Beneath whose folds tits life to live and
noblest death to die,

And bless my God my palace stands a

So speak the voices of the past, ye

Such are the legends Of yon flag that

Such is the hand that scrolls the air
