MINING NOTES

w. Mack Foster and Willie Whit ridge are at Talkeetna after a four months prospecting trip about half way up the Talkeetna river, and brought back with them some very fine specimens of free-milling gold quartz, and claim they have con siderable body of ore. MT. Foster is we'll known in mining circles. This is the third or fourth time he has struck it, but still he loves the game.
 -:"
 A large number of prospectors and mining men are leaving for the new strike up the Talkeetna river every day. Talkeetna is the scene of busy and excited district over it's mining possibilities.
 There are more prospectors scout ing the Willow creek hills than for many years past, and several likely looking prospects have been discov- cred.
 The reported strike on Alfred creek in the Nelchina placer district has proven a fivver. However, sev- eral nuggets of extra size were taken from discovery. Transportation and the long distance from supply points makes operation extremely difficult. On the other side of the range of AL bert creek, Getchel and Olson are now working their claims profitably and will take out several thousand dol lars this season.
 Adequate transportation facilities will make big camp of the Broad Pass district and the prospectors are all holding on tight until the compile tion of the government railroad which will solve the problem.
 -:-
 Work at the Talkeetna Mining & Milling Co.'s property above the Ma bel mine has started at full blast; the mill machinery has been installed and began grinding the middle of the week. Reports from Willow creek are to the effect that the Talkeetna is working in good ore with the pros poets of making several clean-ups be- fore the season closes.

SOUTHERN SUFFRAGISTS SCORE
EYE OPENING FIGURES---

1t looks as If Tennessee would be
the first Southern State to get into
the suffrage column. It's bill for
presidential suffrage passed the
House of Representatives in January.
But the whole South is we'll to the
fore in the race to enfranchise women.
Bills for presidential suffrage, mod
elled after the Illinois equal suffrage
statute, will be introduced in the
legislatures of twelve southern states.
In their fight for the suffrage South.
ern womeR' have brought forward
some, eye-opening figures with regard
ito southern population. For instance:
In four southern states, Texas, Ten.
nessee, Virginia and Kentucky, the
number of white women exceeds the
whole colored population. In Ala
bama, Arkansas, Georgia, North Caro-
lima and Louisiana, woman suffrage
would tremendously increase the pre-
ponderance of white votes; in Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina, where
the colored population exceeds the
white, equal suffrage would double
the educated. electorate.
Contrary to impression, the increase
Of white population is more rapid than
the increase of colored population.
The official estimates Of population
for 1916, published by the Bureau Of
the Census, show that the white popu-
llation, In. twelve southern states has
Increased 1913 per cent. In the last
seven years, while the negro popula-
lton has increased only Sc per cent,

SEES EARLY SUFFRAGE
VICTORY

President Jacob Gould Schurman,
of Cornell University, views the
struggle for woman suffrage in the
Eastern states, as "a battle already
won." DR.. Schurman says:
"The women of the East will not
be content to remain permanently dis
franchised while their sisters in the
suffrage states of the West have it in
their power to elect the president and
members of Congress, and so shape
the policies of the Government of the
United States. I do not mean that
the old arguments in favor of woman
suffrage have lost any Of their force.
I recognize their validity today as 1
have accepted them for many years
past. But the recent national election
has brought out in a more striking
way thar ever before the practical
circumstance that the Nation cannot
remain permanently divided, with one
half Of it's women enfranchised and
the other half disfranchised. The re-
cent national election has given this
circumstance a unique and impressive
setting. And the cause Of woman
suffrage has gained such a tremend-
Gus momentum that unless l am N
tirely incorrect In my forecast the
suffrage will be granted to women In
all the states. Of the Union In the
course Of the next few years.

prevented it's reconsideration or defeat
by anything less than a two-thirds
vote. The house was more favorable to
suffrage than the senate and it was a
foregone conclusion that it would pass
that body.

LEGISLATURE OF 1918 SUBMITS
QUESTION TO VOTERS,

In the campaign If 1914 woman
suffrage received 40,209 yes votes. It
was voted on under article 1872 Of
jority Of all the votes cast at that
election. Suffrage was the only bill
with such a requirement n there
vas no special provision made for
counting the vote on this question,
therefore the blanks and the nos were
not separated.
According to the returns, the blanks
and the nos were 49,34S making a
total Of S9.557-251 more than voted
had the biggest vote at that election.
On the Initiative and Referendum
there were cast 6S,747 votes. on State
Aid to Highways, 6S.44l. on terminal
elevators. the big fight # the year.
6 8 $500.
1t is reasonable to suppose tina,
suffrage received about the same
vote as these three amendments or
around $4,000 votes. From these fig
ures it is proof enough that Woman
Suffrage received a majority Of r.
900.
