 STARTS SHAFT

Word received in Fairbanks last night from Chena was to the effect that Levi Lindgren had started to sink a shaft right in town with the intention of attempting to locate the paystreak reported a few days ago. He has a small prospecting boiler and is hoisting the dirt with wind lass.
 Neither of the two other holes which are being sunk have yet been put to bedrock, George Jestal is down about siXty-two feet, and Dick Stein's shaft has reached a depth of about sixty feet. Whether or not they have been able to again find strata of pay gravel could not be learned last night.

 MANY LEAVING

Upwards of a dozen men are re ported to have started yesterday for the Goodpaster country with the hope of beine able to stake on some of the creeks Of that district on which pay is reported to have been dis covered Some left Fairbanks as early at o'clock yesterday morn ing. while still others departed later 1 on in the day. Tine leading outfits m the race are reported as having passed Overland last night i X wire received in Fairbanks yes. |lcrday from McCarty throws a little additional light on the cause for the stampede It is as follows: Pay located by Frank soIIy on Michigan creek in the Goodpaster country. VIII average between $I50 and $2 10 the square foot of bedrock The last three pans taken weighed up $2.25. Good pay for twenty-five .ect across the creek and stu drift. ing The ground is ten feet deep. Michigan creek is eight miles long and is all staked.

 Mir. Conradt is. perhaps. the best informed mining man in Fairbanks n regard to the Goodpaster. He says
 hat he is practically certain that the present reports are nothing to be excited over, but he also express es the opinion that there is an ez- cclIenc chance for pay on a number of the creeks in the Goodpaster country. The formation, he says, is a granite and schist contact, which is ideal for the existence Of placer gold. When he was there last spring he saw nuggets weighing as high as $t, but they were only to be
 ound at rare intervals by the pros poCJors.
 It is understood that the reported pay is near he head of Michigan creek, or several claims above dis coyery. It is also stated that the ground grows gradually deeper down the creek. Below discovery no holes have ever been put to bedrock. as far as can be learned.
 Most of the ground on Michigan creek, as well as in other parts of the Goodpaster country, is wet This tact in the past, has made pros pee ng there a very difficult matter and only the most optimistic of the prospcctors have stayed with the work

His direct descendant, Ro- man Yurievitch, died in 1918. leaving a son and daughter, the latter later on marrying Ivan the Terrible, be coming Czarina of Russia. From this tine on the descendants of Ro- man took the name of RomanoV.
 With but few bright touches, the history of the reign of this family has been one of sombre color5 for the Russian people. It has been one of misrule and oppression for the peasants of Russian blood, and

ALASKA SHOULD HAVE COUNTIES

The total of the Territory of Washington in 1SS9 less than $100,000 year. The popala- ton ef Washington Territory at that time 75.oon larger than the white population ofAlaska
 It is that the public revenues lerGor th1n that-much larger-but Washington, had all lhe other Territories before the establishment of Alaska. had County governments, and the major DOT ton of the public collected through the County governments to meet the conditions in the separate Counties and expended in the Counties 1t collected.
 Compare this typical precedent in Territories with that in Alaska We have anomalous condition in Alaska We have practically unit of government here-and it contains nearly 900 square miles The major part of the population and developed are along the Pacific Coast the Interior Bering and Arctic sections of the country have equal representation in the Legislature. They have had the in the Legislature to put the burden of taxation the industries of the Pacific coast. and their disposition is demand division the into four equal parts For instance the Second Division contributes nothing the Forest fund and less than $l0O0O year the Territorial treasury. Yet she gets onefourth of all the funds from Alaska First and Third Division forests, and Territorial revenues. The condition in the Fourth Division is almost the She contributes nothing to the Forest fund and less than $25 900 year to the Territorial treasury yet she is getting onefourh of the Forest fund and asks than fourth of the Territorial taxes.
 If The Empire understands the temper of the people the Pacific Divisions of Alaska, there must be County governments and representation in the Territorial Legislature in proportion to population there will be such demand for Territorial division that it will be undeniable

ALASKA MUST LIVE UP TO HER RECORD

The Empire believed that the question of prohi- bton was prematurely injected into the complex gov ernmenta situation in Alaska. After the people had voted for prohibition by overwhelming majority The Empire believed that Congress should have given the Territorial Legislature the authority enact the law that would carry the preference statute books and with it the general powers that go full Territorial form of government. However. we have Federal prohibition law in Alaska, and The Empire is unreservedly in favor of enforcement all good citizens The people of the Territory forcing that law, And if The Empire knows the peo- pie of Alaska and it believes it does, they will do
