Keep Mining Going

Dawson News)
 Prosperity of Yukon this summer depends on her mining All other enterprise in this territory, with
 the possible exception of trapping, is dependent upon mining. If the miner wthdraws there will be no excuse for nine-tenths of the population to remain It. therefore behooves the Yukon to do all within it's power to that the miner, both large and small be extended every aid and encouragement in every possible way
 The mining industry of this Territory is serious ly enough handicapped by isolation, remoteness from markets, long haus and consequent high cost of supplies and other difficulties which beset the pion- eer community. The labor supply of this Territory is too plentiful. The product of the gold mines brings a low price compared to the product of indus tries of other parts of the world
 Legislation which will look to the relief of the gold miner and to the encouragement of his remain ing in the field is vital. Encouragement for the present small operator or man willing to plunge into the field a small scale and inducements for the large operators here and others of capital who are looking this way should not be withheld.
 Aside from legislation, there are other ways to encourage and the continued working and operation of properties this year to their maximum regulations which will prevent any epidemic from entering this field. Should disease through this camp just at this initial period of the season as it has in other parts of the continent it might impair the working efficiency of the large concerns that big share of the annual payroll of the camp would be curtaed thus depriving every line of business of a heavy share of The little line of business to be realized from transient sources by possibly relaxing vigilance health matters would be trie compared to the major proportion from the large and fundamental industries of the Territory.
 < Mining is the big business of Yukon Without it Yukon will be off the Every precauion possible should be taken to it suffers setback.

or ought f, operate vessels on the laska routes loss. The plan is to get better service at lower rates without loss to the companies
 If the scheme should work out und CT operation as it is planned it would enable the Shipping Board to arrange by contract to steamships call at stated times at places situated Skagway seems to be, and would thereby give them better service than they have had in the past at a smaller charge
 It is not likely that tax of $l4,0soo year would cause Canadian lines to quit op grating in Alaskn waters. The tax is much smaller than Amer ican lines are required to pay now and tue Amer ican lines do not get any bonus or subsidy.4
 There is no purpose desire on the part Of the people of any part of Alaska, as far as wa know, and rainly none on the part of Gov. Riggs to put the Canadian lines of business in Alaskan waters short time ago when Congressman Albert Jttnnson proposed in Congress to compel the canadian ines to charge as much for the delivery of freight or messengers on through bills on tickets from Amer ican point to another, Riggs promptly sent in telegraphic protest and Delegate Grigsby mad speech the floor of Congress that aided In defes L. ing the amendment. That proposal was direct at- tack on Canadian lines and if it had been adopt ed it would have compelled the shorter line of the Grand Trunk to charge the same rate for freight and passengers between Skagway and Chicago, for instance as the American railroads operating to Pu- get Sound Portland would charge
 The objects to be obtained by the proposed snip ping Board measure are worthy of support. Wheth- CT or not the would obtain the results Is a matter for experts or, least, those who have given time to study of the situation than The Empire. Certainly, however, plain statement the should convince anyone that the only pos sble danger to the Canadian lines would be that which would result from more healthy and vigorous competition No discrimination unfair treatment Is proposed Under the circumstances if the Canad- ian companies could not stand the $14,0O0 tax tax exactly like that charged to American companies It would seem tht they should ask that the Canadian bonus which amounts to over $5O,oOO year, raised, rather than that Alaska should be asked to contribute it.
