BIG BODY OF ORE
 BEING DEVELOPED
Property on Bettles Bay Under De- ve1opment Gives Promise of Be
 coming Producer Soon.

H. w.. Vance, who is developing a gold quartz property on Bettles bay, came up from Port Wells last night on the steamer Admiral Watson and reports that good progress is being made in the work of running the tun nel into the mountain on the ore body. The ground which he is de veloping is known locally as the Daly and Bennett property.
 The original locatOrs run several hundred feet of tunnel last year and when the property was taken over by Mr. Vance he gave contract to them for two hundred feet of tunnel, which will develop the ore body at a lower lexel. The new tunnel is now in a depth of seventy feet and the lead which was only eighteen inches on the surface has widened out to four feet in the face of the drift. It is good commercial ore and as condi-. tions are favorable for economic min- ing and milling it will return hand some profits when more fully devel- oped and equipped with a mill.
 A splendid waterpower is available and as the ground Is covered with timber suitable for lumber and mine purposes the property has promis- ing future.

Twelve persons are known to have been killed by the exploding bombs and forty injured are in the hospi- tals. The Zeppelins penetrated forty miles inland and dropped bombs in eight towns including Norfolk.

The huge machines tra- yelled slowly and searched the earth with powerful searchlights. and had disappeared into the darkness before ,viators could attain the height at which they were travelling.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 7.-- The army appropriation bill which was introduced in the House yester- day by General Hugh Scott, acti g Secretary of War, asks congress for an additional appropriatiol of $50v,- 900 for Alaska roads and trails, the money to be expended under the supervision of the Alaska Road com mission, of which Col w. P. Richard son is chairman.
 A Dlll of similar nature was int. D. duced in the Senate yesterday after noon and was recommended by the committee for favorable considers tion, by the Senate. The money, if appropriated by congress will be used in completing the automobile road between Valdez and Fairbanks and the completion of the Chitina road.
 The amount asked forsin the spe- cial appropriation does not include the regular appropriation of $150,003 which will be provided by congress for the improvement and maintain ance of the present system of roads.
 Alaskans in the capital are hope,ul that the measures will receive favor- able consideration as the members of both houses have been petitioned by the commercial bodies of Alaska urg- ing the larger appropriation.
 Col. Richardson, chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, has spent the winter in Washington working energetically for the special appro priation and has succeeded in secur ing the promises of his friends that they will favor the measures.

Representative of President Returns to America After Visiting Eu-
 rore in Peace Interests.

NEW YORK, Mar. 7.-Col. House. who visited the belligerent European countries as the special represents tive of President Wilson in the inter- ests of a peace movement, returned on a steamer which reached New York last night from Liverpool. He will depart for Washington today to report to President Wilson.
 Col. House in an interview printed in the morning papers, asserts that the reports of unfavorable criticism of Americans by the people of the belligerent nations of Europe as printed in the American press arc grossly exaggerated. He found the people of Europe very friendly to the United States and says that all hoped that America would not be drawn into the war in order that she would be free to take an active part in arrang. ing peace terms when the war wa over.
 Col. House declined to make com ment on his visit to the European capital where he conferred with the rulers of the nations engaged in the war but the hope Is entertained that he will have secured information upon which to base some general plan for peace which would be ac- ceptable to all the nations.

 In Senate But Influenced It.

WASHINGTON, D.

The question of apportioning the delegates to the territorial convention was one of the subjects brought be- fore the session of the Democratic territorial committee at Valdez. Un- der the rules adopted at the Skagway convention in 1914 the number of delegates is increased from 50 for each division to 75. This step was taken to provide representation at the convention for a number of new camps which has sprung up since the original allotment was made. The apportionment of these delegates will be in the hands of the several divi- sional committees. The apportion- ment of the delegates for the Third division will be taken up within a short time by the committee for this division, and will be announced at an early date.

UNCLE SAM HAS RAILROAD IN
 MEXICO

WASHINGTON, Jan. IT. - Sue cessful operation of a government owned railroad, which private inter- ests could not be persuaded to build, is causing much satisfaction to inter for department officials. The line, extending 25 miles from Yuma, Ari- zont, to the Mexican boundary line, through the Yuma valley, has been in operation daily since February and has carried 30O,O0O tons of rock, be- sides frequent shipments of other freight which are increasing. Passen- ger traffic has been light, owing to the unpopulated region through which the road runs, but considerable pro gross has been made in the settlement of the country and townsite IS miles from Yuma has been opened.
 Construction of the railroad, the second government owned line, was deemed a necessity by officials of the United States reclamation service. There has been unsuccessful efforts to interest private capital, which con- sidered the prospect doubtful for the payment even of it's expenses. As a system of rock revetment was re- quired by the Yuma Valley reclama- tion project, the engineers de cided that the material could be placed econimically only by use of a track laid upon the leyee, which protects the Yuma valley from the overflow of the Colorado river Work was begun April g, 1914, and the first spike driven May l of that year. The unusual summer of 1914 delayed con- struction work, but it was completed to the Mexican boundary in February, 1915. The line is 25 1-2 miles long, including sidings.
 Equipment of the road consists of a gasoline motor car, bearing in bold letters the inscription. United States Reclamation Service, Yuma Valley Line" The car carries 70 passengers and makes regular trips daily to the boundary and return to Yuma. A con tract has been made with a transcon- tinental railroad for joint use of tracks at Yuma. Carload shipments destined for Yuma valley are taken over by the reclamation service, and carried on it's line. charges being re- gulated by the Interstate Commerce Commission.

ALASKA MILITIA |S ASKED FUR BY GOVERNOR

That Governor Strong is an advo- cate of preparedness on a conserva. tive scale is revealed in his annual report.
 The governor calls the attention of the secretary of the interior to the provision for territorial militia and points out that the time for the or ganization of several companies of the territorials is opportune.
 His report in this connection reads as follows:
 Section $50, Compiled laws of Alas ka, 1913, inter alia provides that the governor of Alaska shall be an ex- ifficio commander in chief of the mi litia of Alaska, and shall have power to call out the same when necessary to the execution of the laws and to preserve the peace, and to cause all able-bodied citizens of the United States in the territory to enroll and serve as such when the public eX- igiency demands; and shall perform generally in and over the territory, as far as the same may be made or be- come applicable thereto
 As yet Alaska has no militia or other military organization. In 1913 the war department decided that no useful organization of the militia in Alaska could be perfected under the existing law, which was regarded as obsolete, and it was therefore recom- mended that no organization of the militia be attempted in advance of appropriate legislation by Congress. At the same time the war department was of the opinion that it was both practicable and desirable to maintain a force of militia in Alaska, particu- larly in the vicinity of Juneau. The matter seems to have rested there, for no effort has been made to remove the obstacle referred to by the de partment in the way of organizing the territory and to extend it to the pro visions of the act approved January 21, 1903, "to promote the efficiency of the militia, etc." I have, therefore
The Cordova daily times., 1916-01-17

to recommend that such legislation be enacted in Congress as will make it possible to organize and maintain force of militia in Alaska. The time seems to be opportune for such organization, and if this is done a force of militia 1000 or more in num- Der can be enrolled, whose personnel would comprise men of previous ex- perience in the militia of different states and who are now seasoned Alaskans."

THE PRESENT AND FUTURE OF
 ALASKA.

Alaska's population is 44,0O0 today (whites), an increase of 5000 over the previous year. The prediction is made by Governor Strong that the next de- cenniaI census in 1920 will show a population of 100000.
 Fish products in Alaska during the past fiscal year were valued at $21,- 242,975, a gain of over S5,OOO,OOO,
 Tourist travel the past summer was the greatest in Alaskas history.
 Copper production in the past cal endar year was about $20000,OO0 - an immense gain.
 Alaska has 3O,OOO square miles of agricultural lands, besides large areas suitable for grazing.
 Water power bids fair to be devel- oped to a point where electro-chemi- cal products will become an important industry.
 Alaska is the home of healthy and happy children and epidemics among the white population are almost un- known.
