May Organize Force Soon

One of the first qUc'tions to be decided ny Pre- idcnt N'il-cn is into whose hands he will commit the management of this great construction work The task of organizing the force may be expected to begin within few weeks
 President Wilson can intrust the work to any department of government that he may !ect or he can organize a fierce entirely independent of any department of govern meLt. The Panama canal has been bull. under the general supervision of the socro- .aly of war Naturally, as the army cngi- neerng bureau is part of the war depart mont, it might readily be @@svmcd that the President would assign the job Of buiIIing the AIosk4n railroad to the WAT depart mem.
 But those who are most familiar with conditions in Alaska hardly believe he will do this, ami they do not think he should The nan they want put jo general super yiaioa ci the work ls Franklin K.

X the con ,;ructen work will be ol the yary best. and as the &Gj~rlties are great. it is estimated that railroad building in Alaska will cost n the average $40 CGo r4il,.
 Foy- D..t.7ct Route;
 -Four d;.:,act routes are suggested a5 be- ing mos, adapted to open u5 the rosourco, of the territory, as follows:
 i. Fr-m Seward to F&ir5s0ks about. 4J3 miles. This would connect the ouen harbor of the Pacific with the inland water ways of Alaska and would insure Iov freight rates for winter and summer. Tho construction of this road would be the greatest single stroke in developing Alaska.
 ? \ branch into the Matanus,la feIA, about fifty miles. This would supply the government with the nayal coal so badly needed
 3. From Valdez eastward into the cop per field. about 1S0 miles competing with the Copper River & Northwestern, the Guggcnheim road.
 i. From Controller bay to the Boring river coal field, about eight miles.
 These four lines of railway would make a total of 760 miles or 240 miles less than the President is authorized to build. The total estimated cost is s30, 100000, or S4,600000 less than the appropriation voted by congress. The balance left over, if there should be any, will revert to the federal treasury
 Expect to Get Men in Northwest
 Where shall the force of workingmcn be recruited for this Alaskan construction work? This is another problem that has to be considered. Without going into the matter thoroughly, it is the belief of ad- officials that enough men can be obtained at Seattle, Tacoma Portland and San Francisco to do the work. Roughly speaking, it is believed that 2,00O laboring men will be sufficient Over them of course will be the force of engineers and field managers, which has not been esti- mated numerically. It probably will not be the policy of the President to take Alas <ans for any part of this work, as they are needed in the various occupations in the territory.
 From all of the towns of Alaska wire are coming to Delegate Wick srsham on account of the overwhelming majority which the bill commanded in the senate and the prospect of its early passage oy the house

PRESIDENT WILSON IS
 SUPREME IN ROAD-BUILDING

Washington, March 2.-One of these days something entirely anomalous in the history of the United States is gong to occur when the sum of $350O0, ,000 will be placed in the hands of President Wilson and he will be told to spend it.
 The only limitation on this enormous grant of authority will be that he shall spend it in building railroads in Alaska. No commission was ever accompanied with a wider range of carte blanche powers. There Is no time limit fixed within which the money shall be spent. There is not q syl laE!c of instructions as to how he shall go about the task, He Is to handle the ob in any way he sees fit. He is to employ Whomever he sees fit to employ, iI2 can designate the salaries that are to be Ic- cciyed and the percentages of profits on various phases of the construction work He can employ an army of men or only a battalion.
 William H. Seward paid &7,200,o00 for Alaska, and vas criticized from the AtlaDtIc to the Pacific on the score of reckless cx- travagance. President Wilson is, or will hc, chcertulIy voted $35,000000 or nearly six times $7.000900, for the single purpose of building Q railroad in that territory.

DRUNKEN SQUAw COVERS
SIDEWALK WITH HER GORE

Eva Button. formerly of Winnemuc-
ca, Piute squaw, was taken to the
city Jail at an early hour yesterday
morning with badly lacerated arm,
the result of breaking a window at
the Chinese wash house opposite the
Arlington.
The squaw told a rambling tale of
having been shot by white man
and for time her tale was believed
as it was found that she had been in
the company of white man during
the night and had been with him and
another squaw at a tamale feast
wrere evidently considerable liquor
was disposed of as the squaw was
gloriously drunk. She had serious
wound and "A physician was at once
summoned who dressed the wound
The vicinity of the Downey store and
the Chinese laundry looked like a
slaughter house as the squaw had lost
. large amount of blood. The injured
squaw was former student at the
Indian school, but has not lived up to
her teachiag.-Carson News.

W|THDRAWSSTOCK
FROM The MARKET

The Buckskin Natinoal Gold Min
ing company has issued in a modest
way its annual report IT makes a
creditable showing for the manage
ment of tn company of which Senat-
or Bell in the active moving spirit. 1t
shows that the total expenditures to
date has been $l3,576.26 for labor and
improvements; that said money was
realized from stock sales at 10 cents
a share, including the stock paid to
employees for wages earned in devel-
oping the great property.
1t further reeites that there are
hundreds of tons of ore on the dumps
of great commercial value and that
ore sold, after paying expenses of
shipment and treatment, returned
more than $40 per pound in gold and
silver. The cash proceeds of this ore
went to swell the treasury, leaving
many thousand dollars worth of ore
on dumps and in drifts, levels and
slopes.
The full significance of the report
is that the Bell property is a rich as
set and that its future means the real
bonanza mine of the National Buck
skin mining district.
The report is an assurance.
On top of it comes with sort of
living freshness another meeting of
the Buckskin National Gold Mining
company's officers and by resolu-
tion of the board of directors all
treasury stock listed at so cents
share is withdrawn from the market.
The reason for this is as surmised
4Icx Al II IL
drift of the deeper workings is so
great and tremendous in rich and
largest body of ore that so cents a
share for this stock is way below the
real value of the stock and it practi-
cally conveys that the company has
such a rich ore reserve, that irrespec-
tive of improvements necessary to
handle the large body of mill ore on
the ground, as to meet all require
ments for mine Improvement and
great profit without selling any more
development stock. From this, one
cna readily say the Bell mine is a
lure of futurity and a rich return
il gold for those who own and pur-
chased the eompany's stock at 10
cents a share.
The mine illustrates that when out
SiueTS DuN INTO d wei sIdndgtu PIOp-
erty, that like the Buckskin National,
that they stand to make large gains
upon a small investment.
Another Buskskin note of import
arce is the fact that one of the
strongest, most successful and richest
mine operators has. become interested
in Buckskin. The future will reveal
this most important figure in the
mining life of Nevada.
The latest reports are that the
National Buckskin Mines company,
in which Messrs, Welshons, Flynn,
Bradley and Martin are the safe
guards, is steadily pushing its deep
tunnel ahead under the management
of Supt James Martin and that the
conditions present are an assurance
of the confidence that promts the
officers to do proof work with the aim
of making another bonanza on Buck
skin mountain.

GAINS M'INTOSH'S NAME
Will NOT Be CONSIDERED

In the last issue of the Nevada
State Herald, edited by Phil s. Trip
lett, retiring president of the State
Press association, appears the follow
ing relative to the candidacy of c. H.
Mcintosh for United States district
attorney:
&c. II. Mcintosh has been elimin
ated from the fight for United States
district attorney. Advices received
Wednesday direct from Washington
are to the effect that Attorney Genr-
al McReynods will refuse longer TO
conusider him a candidate. This news
is received joyfully in Reno by all
people who desire that the office,
which is of great Importance, be plae
ed in the hands of a gentleman who
is competent to handle its affairs with
credit. 1t was feared that Mcintosh
might receive the appointment, and
the Press association of Nevada, loyal
to the interests of the people of the
state, in the convention assembled at
Reno Monday, passed resolutions op
posing the appointment of Mcintosh
This action was taken after due de
liberation in the hopes that it might
have its affect and result in the Sc
lection of a man for the place who
would be acceptable to the people of
Nevada. Now, that Mcintosh is no
longer in the running. no matter who
the appointee may be, the people may
feel that the appoinntee will be some
nan who will fill the place with
credit. 1t is likely that f. f. Caine,
of Elko, or William Woodburn, of
Reno. will succeed Sam Platt.
