STRENGTH IN SILVER

That silver prices have not by any means reached their top level is the consensus of opinion among author ities in this country. The various hints of the European governments may reasonably be expected to con- tinue large purchases during the dura- ton of the war and long after peace has been declared, but there are other faN oraple factors to the silver situa- ticn, and the prospects of silver to some extent replacing gold for the conversion of paper money in Europe is gradually being realized in this country.
 While the favorable outlook for the metal is not based solely on the likeli- hood of far reaching changes to take place in the monetary systems of the world after this war, it is nevertheless probably no: far from the mark to hold to rel;ef. as some silver interests dc, that many chcnges are sure to take place.
 The war. however. must assume a
 great deal Of responsibility for the sudden change in the prospect of sil yer, which took place some months 1 age. It would be idle to speculate or Droba bilities in the event that war had not occurred, but there are many who | nave held and still hold that silver would have seen brighter days withou. the vast conflict abroad.
 ! Ii is true, however, that the war has wrought many changes and will bring l about many more. The large issues oi bonds and paper money by the diff
 ferenr belligerents necessarily caused l the iocl1ing-ur of all available gold

 Owing to tho complex geological conditions encountered, it has beer deemed wise to make a thorough ex- pioration of these properties before at .en.pting to sink a shaft, in order to determine the most scientific and ec- onomcal method of uncovering the 1res which are confidently expected to DC found at depth.
 Ore assaying about $500 per ton has already been found near the surface in 'ha Cliff workings. and low grade ore is encountered in the Cliff and Green Monster" tunnels. Advantage is being taken of some of the old workings on the property and while they are not available for use 1t great depth, yet they are of ma- terial benefit in saving time and money and with the new work being done or them, will be useful in the develop ment for several hundred feet in depth.
 A most promising outcrop on the "Revenue'' claim. more than five hun drcd feet in length and about ninety feet ln width, is being developed and ! by extending short tunnel nearoy for about three hundred feet, the outcrop will be reached at depth of nearly 1 two hundred feet, thus determining the advisability of sinking deeper. On the Badger claim by driving a | tunnel from the old workings. a con- nection will be made with the inclined deVelop that property at considerable | depth. At present it is impossible to ] further develop the ore in sight in the i ''Brookshire" on account of the water in the old inclined winze but as this l new tunne. from the Badger claim will intersect it at a lower level it vii be ar easy matter to dewater the ole workings and explore the ore body saiC to be at the bottom of the incline.
 
 on the promising outcrops on the Am azon' claim and should they prove III to expectations, a deep shaft will h, sunk and cross cuts driven at depth tt intersect the ore bodies.
 A very complete geological repor on vour property accompanies this let ter and it is the intention of your di rectors to keep the stockholders full, informed from time to time, or tn work accomplished and contemplated to the end that they may be in clos touch with the development of thei property.

had explained the whole matter to him. Is not this evidence of lack of interest in us? Now this may be a small matter when the whole territory is taken into consideration; but it is vitally inn portant to us here: and if he neglected us, what is to prevent him from neglecting others?
 The next important office to be filled by the voter is the election of man for Attorney Gen eral for the territory. There are three candi- dates for the office. Two of whom we have had the honor of meeting and heard discuss their re- spective claim for the position. To us between John H. Cobb and George B. Grigsby. the latter appears to have decided advantage over the former. The third candidate is said to be a resi- dent of Seattle, therefore beyond consideration.
 The next office in importance is that of Sena- tor. There are three candidates, namely: John F. ~reene. J. R. Hickman and J. NJ. Tanner. To Us again, there is only one candidate and that man is the Ketchikan candidate who has all the necessary qualifications and who is honest, earn est and knows our needs better than any man in southeastern Alaska, whether candidate or not.
 As to the candidates for the lower house, of whom there are eleven. we candidly confess to have no choice Presumably they are all good men as many good things have been said about them all. And thus We have reached a point where we feel we have said all we wanted to say in the matter. However our readers must not take this confession of our preference in candi- dates as a guide to follow and much less to in- ftuence their votes. Nor must they take it as a slap at the other candidates. Far from it, we only express our own preference. Let every voter do the same either by words or ballot, or by both We gladly concede them the right to do so and let the majority rule.
 To a large number of voters the question of Dry" or Wet" surpasses in importance any other question to be voted upon tomorrow. It is their privilege. It is their right.

HIST OUR OWN OPINION.

Tomorrow is election day. All over the United States and Alaska, questions of great import ance are to come up for decision It Is day when the voters have their say. It is day when the voters can obtain redress and correct wrongs if in their minds their representatives have been deficient resulting in wrongng them :; or in their opinion others can do better. For whatever reason or reasons. tomorrow Is the day when every voter has his inning.
 For the last few weeks We have made no et- fort to conceal our admiration felt for certain candidates. We have met with opposition and made enemies. of course. Consequently we have lost both money and friends but this never changed our course because we deemed it our privilege to express ourselves Fortunately our mind is not so cranlped up as to imagine that We should deprive others of that same privilege, and tomorrow we shall cast our vote for the men We feel will make the best representatives.

 In Alaska where we shall have voice to the extent of one vote in the selection of our repre- sentatves. either national or territorial, We have from the first favored Charles 4. Sulzer for req sons set forth at various times. The principle reason is that Delegate Wickersham refused to help Us when We needed his help. He even re- fused to look into the merit of our demand as the following excerpt from his letter dated March 20 and addressed to one of our citizens shows. In writing about our demand, he said in part It might be better than it looks from what little I know about it." This was two years after we
