Nellie C4shman, Intrepid Pioneer of Ari-
IONA and Alaska, Dies at Victoria
In British Columbia

Nellie eastman was q pioneer WO-
man. One who frequented out of
the way places, where gold excite
ment furnished the lure and inspira-
ton of her nature. She was by all
odds the most wonderful mining
character l ever met. [ met her
first in Tombstone, in the early
days, and it was in recounting pio'
neer Cochise experiences with Judge
j. w. Stillwell in his Office at Phoe-
nix last week, that l got this frank,
open expression from him, for he
had known her much better than /.
Among the four women pioneers of
Alaska, l had met her one fall at
Nome, when she came down the Yu-
kon river to catch the boats for the
outside At that time she had about
six pounds in gold nuggets and coarse
dust that she had cleaned up that
season from the Koyukuk placers.
The other three women "mushers"

regions of Calaveras. have met
them all at various times in my
rounds of the Northland as a mining
correspondent of the s. F. Mining
and Scientific Press for Alaska, and
must say that of all the "stam-
peders" l ever met, none Of them,
male or female, ever impressed me
so astonishingly as Nellie eastman,
who travelled often thousands of miles
over the frozen steppes of Alaska,
alone and without a guide save her
never failing dog team. Arizonans
and mining men all over the West
will read with interest the following
account of her death in Victoria:
Miss Nellie eastman, who died
January in Victoria, Alaska, was
one of Arizona's most picturesque
pioneers. She came to the state in
1877 from Washington, D. c., where
she is said to have been Yankee
spy in the Civil War. She spent
three days in Tucson last December
renewing acquaintances with pio
neers whom she had not seen for 81
years. At that time she was on one

before she left in November for the
North and her home on the Yuko1

states last year from Alaska. Sh'

INCONSISTENCIES OF LAW AND
THE PRESS

THE PRESS
Sundays Republican told in verse
and illustrations how "the press
club" those Arizona writer's and
moulders of public opinion whom
President Coolidge says are the bull
wark of our nation, were going to
Tucson for q business session and
thence on to Nogales for junketing
trip. 1t gave the names of illustri-
Gus individuals high in official posi-
tion and prominent in journalistic
literature. OF course, the inference
is that they crossed the Mexican Dor.
der at Nogales, visited "The Cave"
and other popular rejuvenating bev-
erage resorts there, to regale them
selves with choice brands of liquors
which they aided Uncle Sam to taboo
and outlaw in their homes-as des-
tructive to humanity. The query nat
urally follows: Are members of the
Press Club, high social leaders, off,
cial law makers and legislators
those who influence and help make
the laws of this glorious nation, i'm
mune from obedience of those tenets
of jurisprudence which they helped
create? Are they any better and
more loyal citizens of the U. S. be-
cause they go across the Mexican bor-
der and fill their hides full of liquid
cordials declared contraband by law
in their own homes?

members of officialdon[ the press,

appear in daily encouragement of a
violation of national laws they helped
to create. Are they sorry for the
part they took in plastering onto our
statute books laws that they will not
obey themselves? If so, then why not
exhibit that admirable trait of char
acter which makes amends for mis-
takes and wrong doing?
The Volstead act is one of many
of our national mistakes. 1t is a
disaster, in fact, that must sooner or
later be undone. In this brief
glimpse of national evil, know
shall be censored severely for my
views, but I sincerely believe this is
the time and place to go on record
against the press fraternity and our
Legislators any longer propagating a
farce Of mistakes called laws, which
they themselves helped create and
refuse to obey. Are they not still
guardians of the public veal? Is it
not farcical for the press to be her.

lar establishment to attain his posi-
ton without West Point training, and
also enjoyed the distinction of being
