SMALL, QUIET STAMPEDE
 IS ON TO LEWIS RIVER

While reports are fragmontay and not altogether in harmony, it is a fact, nevertheless, that there is a quiet stampede, rather small in proportion, to the Lewis rive section, led there by rumors of the location of what is termed a 'whi-c channel" which is reputed to be the source of the gold found ill Lewis river. This so-calIed white chan nel, according to the Pioneers in formant, is believed to cross uear the headwaters of Lewis river and the Beluga river, and the theory is that it is the ancient river bed that is the fountain head of tho gold found in the rivers which .crosscut it
 The Pioneers informant says the gold found in Lewis river is coarse, as a rule, and he points out that this is at least strong circumstan- tial evidence that it has its source in all old channel, rather than in quartz striugers in the immediate vicinity of the rivers
 Last week Q half dozen stamped CTS departed for the scene, to in- vestigate the matter. Because of the meagre reports of a subsantiGI na- ture,. there is nothing to get eN- cited about, but it is hoped that the white channel theory Is the cor rect one, for it would mean 8 thriving mining camp on that side of tho inlet.
 KIondikers will recall that it is g. white channel that was the source of the rich placers of the famous Dawson camp, hence white chan nels are immensely popular, from a mining standpoint. They are called white channels because of the pre- dominance Of white quartz.
 There is a small movement up Ship creek, led there by reputed placer discoveries, but this report is likewise very vague and indefin- ite.-Cook Inlet Pioneer.

NEW MINING
 JAW NEEDED

Washington, Jan. 5-Secretary Of Interior Lane in his annual re- DOT. speaks of the necessity of new set of mining laws for Alaska. l He says:
 '"The old code is so elaborate and complicated that the best brains can not tell what the law is. The truth seems to be that between min iAz engineers and mining lawyers the rules of the game have been refined into obscurity. And if con gress were to say to the president that he might select three men fam liar with mining laws and miners difficulties to suggest a new mining ccde to congress, 1t would, be- lieYe be giving in earnest a new freedcm to the mining industry.
 linen, too, there is the matter Ot the further development of Alas ka, That land is a long way off. It would be too hazardous @ thing to Aurrender these resources to To- cal control or disposal, for those who have lived in any new country know how great the temptation is 10 grant away water front and pow CT sites. forests and other excep- tionaI resources to those who come oiforing large susms for quick i'm prcYtment. Yet this should not drive us into a policy that makes glow administration a necessity. Tha confusion in administrative ac- ton la Alaska is well known. have trIed to give it currency that is might hasten the establishment of sOma method of cOOruinated con troI of Alaskan affairs, primarily in tee hands of a resident comml5- sion, but always in touch with and responsive to the wish of congress and the president through one Of tts departments. That land has mysterious charm, a pull which affects all who see it, and those, too, who only know indirectly of It's largeness. it's grandeur and it's economic possibilities. This could not be better Illustrated than by the number of applications for places which were received by the Alaskan engineering commission. When that body left for Alaska in the spring the number was oyer 3S,- OOO, aud most of those who ap- piled were not out of work but al- ready held positions with railroads, in tanks, on farms, or in some city shou. They wished a taste of the large life of this new land. There are many more of the same desire, some of whom will make Alaska richer by their presence and find happines in searching out the land. And strongly would I urge that the standpoint of the government should coutiUue one of sympathetic coop erar on"
