To the uninitiated it might seem that Ketchikan was undergoing a boom, similar to those of other towns, of the North which have gone before, but there is no more similarity than night and day. Ketchikan has grown because of the steady growth of two great industries, mining and fishing, and soon will be added the third and possibly the greatest industry, paper making. With these three, neither de- n2endent in any way upon the other, there need be no fears as to the fu- ture, for should any one of these three fail in any year, a thing that is un- likely, the other two will always make Ketchikan a good town.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

BIG RELIEF TO ALASKA

The abolition of the eightyrod strip reservation has been urged for a number of years by the homestead CTS and other land settlers of the North who have found that it was one of the greatest factors in pre- venting the locators from securing patent Particularly was it hard ship for those settlers along the rivers of the Interior which con- stantly kept changing their courses with the result that the boundaries of the homesteads were quite differ en at the time patent was applied for than when they were originally located.
 Along the coast, too, there has been much objection to the reserva- tion as It tied up hundreds of miles of good land that could have been put to use in developing the re- sources adjacent.
 In compliance with the request of several homesteaders organizations Charles A. Sulzer, when delegate to congress, introduced a bill provid- ing for the abolition of this law. The bill was passed by the house but the senate failed to take action on it and it died with that session Of congress.
 Shortly after going to Washington last summer, Delegate Grigsby in- troduced a similar bill and secured the approval of both the agricultural and interior departments.
 The secretary of the interior is given authority under the bill passed recently to sell the land which was reserved under the old law; and he also may wave the restriction that no homestead should exceed dis tance of more than 150 rods along any navigable water.

MONIES TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY

MONIES TWENTIETH BIRTHDAY
 Twenty years ago today Seattles waterfront was swarming with gold seekers bound for the new EldOrado working the rich beaches following the discovery of '99. It is a great an niversary and one worthy of being remembered for not withstanding the fact that Nome is at present experi- encing a dull period, exclusively due to the fact that gold cannot be ex- tracted at the present time on the same basis of profit as formerly, the good old gold camp is not dead by a long way and with her new Siberian fur trading and a continuation of her larger mining enterprises, she is yet going to provide another interesting chapter to the story of Alaska's de- velopment Twenty years ago Nome was on the lips of the prosp7:tors throughout the world and the great rush of 1900 rivalled that of the Klondike, two years before, in inter- est and intensity So that the record may be preserved, let it here be re- peated that gold was discovered fn Anvil creek in October, 1898 by Jafet Lindeberg, John Brynteson and E. Q. Lindblom, all of whom are now living in California. It was much later be- fore news of this discovery became general property The discovery on Anvil creek was followed later in the year 1899 by finding pay in the sands of the Nome beach and it is stated that the cleanup of '99 represented $2,000,000, or an average of S4,0OO to each man working. It was this news brought to Seattle that started the great Nome rush in the eaTly days of June, 1900, and since then the Seward Peninsula is estimated to have produced $1,0O0,0 worth of vir gin gold The Victoria is booked full on it's first trip this season and in tho list of passengers are found the names of many of the old timers who are returning to the scene of former ccesses.-Railway and Marine News.

The passage of the military appro- priation bill (by the senate) with an item carrying $350,0O0 for Alaska roads means an increase of $2OO,OOO since the bill was passed by the house. Credit for this increase IS due to Delegate Grigsby, Gov. Riggs, Gen. Richardson and other Alaskans and friends of the territory who did eX- cellent team work in the interest ot the North The people of Alaska should unite in this fight for 'OadS Congress should be apprOprlatIng not less than $1,0O0,O00 a year for roads in this Territory.

FAMOUSCLAIMS AT KATALLA
 ARE WANTED

Two new coal companies have ap- piled for leases on ground located in Alaskan fields covering a total of 3,120 acres and calling for an investment totaling $183,00O according to inform ation received by the general land office. One of the applications is far lease of 1,080 acres in the Mantan- uska coal fields, the other being for 2,040 acres in the Boring river field.
 CUNNINGHAM CLAIMS SOUGHT
 The latter covers a portion of the ground once located by Andrew L.I Schofeld and 32 other parties and nationally famous as "the Cunning ham claims" In 1903, one ClarenceI Cunningham, for himself and as agent for 32 others, filed on a large area of coal lands in what was then known asI the Controller bay district. During the Ballinger episode, a con- troversy arose over the legality of the claims, charges being preferred against the claimants with the result that applications for patents were held up and a hearing ordered by the department of the interior.

For the benefit of the bona flde prospectors who have written this paper we will state that the season this spring is extremely backward and it is doubtful if much can be done in the hills before the middle of June. Of course it is well to be on the ground in plenty of time to be pre- pared to follow the snow back. That is the best way to prospect this coun- try. The vegetation here is very dense, and because of the extreme length of the summer days it grows with a rapidity that is amazing to the folks from the South. The snow lays this vegetation flat and before the new growth starts the prospector has his best chance. There is vast amount of unexplored territory with in the presumed area of the mineral belt on both the Alaskan and Cana dian sides.-Hyder Miner.

NATIONWIDE ATTENTION

The attention of the entire nationI was drawn to the cases by the pub licity given the matter. Hearings were held on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts, also in Paris, France, and Rome, Italy. Upon the findings of the special commissioner, appointed to try the cases, Secretary Walter L. Fisher denied patents to all claimants, ruling that none of the entrymen had compiled with the mining laws.
 A new company has now been formed and has made application for blocks 26, 27, 2S, 29, 30 and 31 in the Boring river coal field, proposing an investment of $75,O00, mining opera tions to be begun this year. These blocks are about one mile east of the holdings of Falcon Joslin and associ- ates in the same field, and are also east of one of the government leasing blocks. They lie east of the Rush, tana lake and along Trout creek and Kushtana glacier. ~> <
 $1os,ooo IN MATANUsKA FIELD
 The other application is for block in the Matanuska coal field. It is west of the government operations on block and lies on Wishbone hill. The company, or individual, making appli- cation, proposes to make an invest ment of $1O8,OOO. Work is to begin on July 1 of this year if permits are issued by the department of the in terior The applications will be taken up for consideration on June 20 by Secretary John Barton Payne. The names of the applicans are not known to the Juneau office.

For the first time since work was started on the government railroad in Interior Alaska, Sunday is to be observed as a day of rest by those employees of the Alaskan Engineer ing commission whose wages are computed by the hour. Announce ment of the change from the old order of things, which permitted the railroad workers to get in every day during the brief working season, is contained in an official circular posted. We question the right of the Alaskan Engineering commission to curtail operations at this time when all the work possible is necessary to hold the Interior country together un- til relief can come by way of the completed government railroad. We feel that it is our duty to make wig orous protest, and do so in the nope that some good may come of it. Nenana News.
