D. M. STEWART,
 BANKER. PLEAS
 ED WITH OUTLOOK
HAS PRAISE FOR EVERYBODY BUT HOPES TO DEFEAT DELE
 GATE WIckERSHAM.

Duncan M. Stewart of New York. owner of several placer mines in Ken ai Peninsula was a passenger on the Mariposa en route to Seattle. To the Progressive. Miner MT. Stewart stated that he had over thirty men employed on his properties that he was well satisfied with the seasons operations. He is enthusiastic in his praises of both the Alaska Engineering Commits sion and the Alaska Road Commis sion. The former has built eighty four miles of new railroad during the past year, completing the line to Moose Creek in the Matanuska Coal Fields, where Dick Doherty is now mining and shipping coal to Anchor age. Lieut.. Mears is in charge of that division and in spite of labor troubles, flood conditions and other difficulties, has performed wonders. MT. Weir in charge of the Seward Division, was given equal credit for his work of reconstructing the old Alaska North ern which was in bad shape A new bridge costing $23,O00 has been built over Resurrection River, four new fills have taken the place of trestle bridge, some sixty thousand new ties have been laid, a new dock at Seward, and the line is now open to Mile 54 and will be open to Keon Creek in a couple of weeks, and will be kept open all winter There are over 800 men
 employed on the Seward Division alone. MT. Stewart states that the Commission has made model town of Anchorage, the terminal port, while Seward is already showing permanent signs of that prosperity she has so long wished for as a result of being the Ocean terminus of the railroad. A recent sale of lots by A. Christianson, on behalf-of the Department of the h. terior brought excellent prices and gave universal satisfaction.
 Mr. Stewart is of the opinion that there will be no change in the person. Hel of the commission appointed by President Wilson and presided over by Wm. c. Fades, as the Commission
 s non-political and is doing it's work fairly and impartially Speaking O. politics MT. Stewart said he is a re- publican and will vote the Hughes Fairbanks ticket, but he hopes and ex- poets to see MT. Sulzer elected to represent Alaska in the next con- gress. 'I found an almost unanimous feeling in every town aRd camp I vis- ited from Ketchikan to Anchorage in favor of a change and unless all signs fail, Sulzer will be elected by large majority"
 Mir Stewart even had a good word for Col. Richardson one of the Alaska Delegates arch-enemy, and inform ed" the Progressive-Miner that he was in a position to criticise the Road
 Commission over which Col. Rich ardson presides, because he used the roads more than any other operator or group of operators in the Kenai Peninsula He said this Commission received a lot of unjust if not false criticism for which it should have re-
 ceived praise. Admirable work has
 been done on the wagon roads this year due to the increased appropria-
 ton the Colonel succeeded in getting 1 from Congress.
