 Then there are the shallow streams. They. of course. are, in most cases. much more easily pro~ pected. and therefore the extent of their pay gravels is much better known But the fact remains that even with the improved scrapinI methods of the past few years, which make t possible for the ope- rat9r if he IS economical, to make 20-cent ground pay, it is impossible to get all of the gold which the ground holds
 It can therefore be said that the shallow placors, too, have been Int 1!c m.~o than scratched over, for the prospecting done in old open cuts has demonstrated the fact that there is more gold there awaiting the arrival of more modern and better improved machinery, that is the dredge And in anticipation o!

 ] The fact that the quartz indus try is still in its infancy in the
 Fairbanks district is too wei known
 to need comment Nor does tho
 probable reason why deyelopmen
 along quartz lines has been so grad ual need explaining. For all that
 needs to be pointed out is the fact
 that there ale several gold bearlrg quartz properties in the district which are known 10 be paying prop rsitions but for which capital IS
 needed for development purposes
 And just here the power and fuel
 question for mining purposes also
 enters in.
 i It can therefore be truthfully saiG
 that, although the various kinds of mines in the Fairbanks district hay" been worked for years and have p1o- duced their millions there are mil lions in gold as yet unlocated. wait ing where they have lain for B countless number of years, for the

SPRING BREAKUP I AXES PLACE IN
 B|C SNOWSTORM
IS MOST UNUSUAL ON RECORD LICE STILL BLOCKS
 NAVIGATION

The spring breakup of the ice in front of Fairbanks took place on Thursday, May i, at 1:45 o'clock D. m. At least that is what will go in the log book of the Northern Commercial company. on account of the fact that the ice above the bridge went out at that time, taking the four bents of the piling of the bridge with it, but shortly thereafter a large piece of ice came down damned in the river. and, as the water has since receded on account of the cold weather. has remained damned Consequently the ice cannot be said to have gone out entirely even yet.
 There was nothing spectacular in the breakup this year excepting the fact that it took place in a snow storm, which was a condition un. precedented in Fairbanks And the next day it showed and the next and the next, and it is still snow ing. During all of the past week a heavy wind has blown from the west, making 1t almost impossible for small boats to keep their head when going down stream. or against the wind The annual breakup can therefore be called the most unusu al on record
 The following are the dates of the breakups of past years, as re

STATEHOOD.

! There are so many more thing that the Territory of Alaska is palpably in need of than statehood, that an editorial in a recent issue of the Juneau Dispatch is Judi crous in the extreme We do not 1 deny that many of the provisions of the bill are excellent ones and would heartily support the delegate anything for Alaska from the Unit ed States government. But state hood is out of the question at the 1 present time, on account of the enormous amount of expense which would be involved in keeping up a state such as is advocated by the delegate in his statehood bill
 Reading between the lines of the Dispatchs editorial, it is easy to see that the Dispatch is getting in an early bid for capitalistir honors for Juneau. Therefore that fact 1t self was the greatest incentive fo" such an editorial, and probably ac- counts for the fact that Delegate 1 Wickersham counts not the least number of his followers in Juneau
 The editorial, under the caption Real Self Government" is as fol 1 lows:
 The Wickersham statehood i bill provides for real self-gov- ernment. When adopted Alaska
 shall have two United States
 senators and four representa-
 tives in congress. Just let that thought sink in for a minute Instead of having a delegate who i has no vote We shall have six
 congressional representatives to
 fight for Alaska It is not ev-
 cry territory that has been for
 tunate enough to be represented i in congress by so able and capa-
 
 | delegate, James Wickersham l He is a big man even among
 the national big men who are sent to Washington. Time and ! again he has been sat upon 1 hard" and told to go way back
 and sit down behind the "col-
 ored representative" from the
 insular possessions, but somehow l our delegate would not stay
 put" He has made himself a
 live force; he has insisted upon
 being heard upon Alaska affairs
 and he has finally won more
 recognition than is true of many
 of the representatives who have
 an actual vote.
 Moreover, his statehood bill
 is progressive. It's provisions
 protect the rights of the people
 It makes liberal terms for edu- cational facilities and reserves
 to the people of their natural
 rights. Some of the provisions
 may be briefly summarized as
 follows:

 The storm which has had Fair i banks in it's grasp for the past week, seems 10 be general all over the interior, according to reports received here. IL has therefore had the effect Of delaying navigation to considerable extent, as the falling snow and freezing weather has Ce- mented the ice jams at night to such an extent that the recedire water is not strong enough to move the jams.
 An Eagle report of the signal corps relative to conditions on the upper river IS as follows: There Is no change in the condi- tion of the ice on Lake Labarge.
 From the Hootalinqua river to the Big Salmon river there is very little ice left.
 At Carmacks there is no change in the condition of the river, the ice in places being very firm. At Yukon Crossing the river Is clear of ice.
 At Selkirx the river has been clear of ice for three days. Last night it showed practically all night and this morning the water started to rise again
 At Isaac i. showed all last night. Just below Isaac thele IS big ice jam several miles long and it is still fiji Il.
 At Stewart it is showing today. The ice is still holding, but the breakup is expected at any minute.
 Al Ogilvie it showed all last night. Since yesterday afternoon the river dropped six feet.
 Below Eaglo the ice jam moved The ice ran for six hours and now the river is practically clear of ice.
 The only damages reported as the result of the breakup are here ard at Salchaket. At the latter place the first high water flooded the floor of the roadhouse and barn and it was necessary for time to operate boats between the two es tablishments The Indian village at C,In .J Inr a danger for a time.
 The chief damage here was to the Panama Valley railroad bridge across Deadman's slough It was not com pletely taken out by the ice, which is still jammed above it, but was listed so badly that it will have to be taken out and new one pu. in. The ties and rails were saved. Passengers and freight are now be ing taken across the slough in small boats. This is the first time for a number of years that the rall- road bridge has been taken out by the ice, but considerably more wa ter is going through that way this year than ever before.
 The regular monthly naturaliza- tion hearing will take place tonight in district court at 7:3O o'clock. long list of applicants for citizen ship is on the docket It is under stood that a number Of the names are to be scratched off the docket if the applicants do not make their appearance tonight This will be the last opportunity for the appli- cants living in the vicinity of Fair banks to pass the examination until next fall as the court leaves for the lower river soon.
