UNCERTAIN MINING LAW.

Changes in the Alaska mining laws have been so rapid and varied that it would make dizzy to try to keep track of them Certainly the average miner hardly know what required of him when he wants to take up ca but the law vers should find in this legal mxup harvest of litigation
 Undoubtedly congress will awaken to the realization that the Alaska legislators the kind that have had in the past are competent make mining laws and that will be best to take out of their hands and put the whole thing under the direction of the United States government
 There will be many oppose this plan the general ground that the Alaska should be the right far as possible make their laws which would be true II the population here extensive enough to provide experienced lawmakers But the fault to lie in the fact that the who competent to lawmakers do not want ob ue and thus of experience or sometimes ability in that ne selected for that important trust This will be changed the country settles up and the people take more interest in local legislation.
 course The Citizen does not mean to infer that all o the members of the Alaska legislature incompetent or mex perenced men, does say that there have been enough incompetent in the two sessions that have been held to vent the constructive legislation that the Territory so much needs
 Bu getting back to the mining law, it is clear to anyone that has paid any attention the matter that the mining laws of Alaska are tending do the Territory harm than any other class legislation that has been enacted for the people here the face of this fact it that everyone should agree that stop should be put to this constant changing of this class of This only be done by having the gov ermcn take the matter nots own hands and put stop to any further repair work.
 What the government will probay do in the end will be to revoke all the mining laws passed by the Alaska legislature and to place all lands in the Territory under the control o the department of the interior with the idea that the miners various districts may have the right to make sc local eS lations they may need.
 It would be interesting to know how men in the ar banks district think they by what process mining, claim acquired under the present law. They may understand some of the main features of the law recently passed by the legislature and they may have general
 idea of the former passed by the first legislature but there must always uncertainty in their minds in regard to what ways the local may conflict with federal laws They will probably not know whether they really complying with legal requirements they simply laying the basis for t ture litigation when they take up mining claim
 It is quite proper that local government should be en- and brOadened but this not half important as the necessity protecting the miners from the mischief beng done by to Juneau every two to spend two months in working something of which they have little knowled ge-Fairbanks Citizen.

1. Don't monkey with the news

the facts to a reporter And the re-

Since we are bailding good
roads in Davidson County, it is q
shame that two great Lig rich
counties like Davidson and Rowan
have a toll bridge across the Yad-

cross the bridge are as much a.

towns. There was time when
the toll bridge and thu toll roads
we're all right, but they do not fis

of Davidson and Rowan should

that owns it or build new bridge

was our publication day they
were told that the work .could be

that We would much lather d. it

that he would not have the work
done until the next day, when If
it didn't rain and he could get to

the work out, and We knew it.
Friday the fellow with she hang.

his circulars. We asked him why
he failed to return and give us the
work as he promised. He replied
that it was up to him to get his
work done where he could get it
cheapest. He was then informed
that it was not question of price
or whether he gave as the work,
but aftsr making suoh positive
promises is"bsca me a matter of
honor and that a man who would
agree TO. q thing that he did not
live up to could not be trusted il
any statement.or agreement shat
he might make. o. &C urse he only
answered with q slokty grin. We
doubt his having gotten the work
for q cent less than our price, and
furthermore, neither of these men
will ever be considered trust
worthy by Us again. Suppose
they did save few cents by such
conduot. they lost their reputa.
tion for truthfulness, if they had

< Pike Shooting in Scotland.

The killing of a fish by sword by a lieutenant of the Royal Engineers receives much publicity. It may not have been hard to do, for pike often move sluggishly, and on fine warm days they have habit of basking on the surface. In Scotland people shoot pike regularly, the corpses being brought ashore by retriever dogs. But in Scotland they shoot several things that in England we kill in other ways. Foxes, for example.-London Chron- icle. 't.ssjsx ,.s,s
