Combination of

| Benefit BURGLARS

Kennebunk, Dec. 16.-Be sports.
That's what one of the merchants in
this village asks of yeggs who may
break into his store in the future,
and he is willing to meet them more
than half way.
A few weeks ago, when several
breaks were made, apparently by an
organized gang, combinations were
ripped from safes, and this probably
caused more peevishness among the
business men than the loss of goods.
Now. this particular storekeeper
has placed the key to his combina-
ton where it can be seen by any
hooters, and on the sign he has also
written: BE sports. Here is the
combination" A professional man
has also prepared n sign similar in
sentiment, but with different word

Pioneers of Alaska
 Oppose Change in Territorial
 Mining Laws
 Anchorage Weekly Times)
 Continued from l asst week. 3. Verification of discovery upon a lode claim by surveyor would be a luxury not to be hoped for by the average Alaska prospect or.
 i. We are not in. favor of the com plete change sought to be ac- complished by the proposed law in the theory upon which lode claims are now acquired.
 Under the present law the vein is the principal considera- tion, and it can be acquired to the limits of the length of the and to it's utmost depth, by dis covery and development work, performed annually, till patent shall issue"
 Under the proposed law, the vein is made secondary to the acquisition of the surface area comprised within the limits of the claim, and it's possession & ownership terminates when it departs from the side lines of the claim extended vertically downward, twice the area is al lowed, no discovery is required for five years, and SIOO in assess ment work may cover four claims.
 It is the belief of this igloo that this provision is not in the interest of the prospector and the owner of non-producing mines, it is doubtful if it is in the interest of the producing mines to be developed in the future, or in the interest of cap- ital seeking investment in the mining industry.
