ALASKA MINING LAWS IN NEED 0F REFORM ASSERTS r. MANLEY.
ASSOCIATION LAW WOULD WORK PROFlTABLY TO TERRI
 TORY'S BENEFIT

"We Alaskans should demand a re- form in our mining laws that will en- courage the development of large areas of fairly rich placer ground that are lying about neglected" stated Frank A. Manley, we'll known big operator of the Interior who passed thru Seward the forepart of the week en route to his ground on Willow creek, Iditarod district. "The trouble with mining in Alaska today is that it has been retarded, and will con- tinue to be held back, until the law has been changed permitting associa- tions to stake.
 ''No one now can hardly afford to grubstake anyone for one cannot stake sufficient amount of ground to jus tify the expense and the chances one takes. In other words, take a cheap or low grade creek; if you wanted to secure ample ground for operating on any kind of a large scale you would have to stay on the creek for a year before enough ground is pro- cured to make it worth while to go ahead with it, and cheap ground seems to be all that is left. As an example, take the ground I now pos sess in the Iditarod. It cost me over S3,0O0 to stake about 100 claims. Hundreds of creeks and gulches that ought to be worked, and that could be worked profitably under the asso- citation law, now are producing noth- ing"
 Last season MT. Manley construct ed an eight and one-half mile ditch in order to get proper head of wa ter for this seasons hydraulic opera tions which will be carried on with the aid of huge drag-line outfit. Last season he employed about 30 men but he said about 12 would be all en- ployed this year.

EDITORIAL
NEXT WEEK-CLEANUP

Whatever unselfsh effort is put forth in civil service brings to the citizens many times great a return.
 There should be- and is, feeling of satisfaction to know that your neighbor appreciates we'll kept lawn, and sanitary conditions in the alley to the rear of your premises; aside from your own knowl- edge that accumulated refuse of winter is not breeding place for germs and the ever present Alas ka humming bird, upon your own premises there is the added pleasure in knowing that your friends and neghbors also receive protection through your innate demand for cleanliness.
 Seward is 'jewel in perfect setting" to quote that kindly hearted President who became citizen of Seward for one day.
 Let us all take hand in cleanup week and demonstrate the sefrespect we have ourselves, the consideration of our neighbor, and the example to young America.
 The personal activity and expenditure of one of our prominent residents in the parks at the foot of the Kenai Road, or Broadway, is worthy of simula- tion.
 proof of this appreciation is to go and do like wise. For you remember the adage about imitation being sincere form of fattery. We have a splen- did community, none better, so-"Make it Snappy."
