T. '. Lane, son Ot Captaig ( D. Lane, the well known and fam ous mining man of Nome, iu the early days of the gold rush, was a returning pass enger on the steam CT Derblay, yesterday from Seattle.

He will iusp~cc the machinery and shafts and other equipment with the idea in mind of seeing what is nee assary to re- habilitate and put the mine once more tn operation.

Lane, he said ''It will proba bly take con siderable capital 1o place the mill in operation again There is no d,rubt about its value and richness of ore and tonnage for years to come, but that it just the trouble, II is too good to be true when one seeks backing on reliable propoai tion. If one wanted to float hy by night mine be would have no trouble. in getting all the capital he needed. but when you offer 6 perfectly good proposition. it is doubted, and hard to interest cap itaf."
 The Hurrah quartz mine was work ed for several years in the early days. when transportation costs were almost prohibitive. in fact horse teams at one time were employed to haul coal and sup plies from Nome during the winter months a distance of about fifty miles. Naturally very few mines could pay dividends on an expense of this kind and litigations were principally the reasons for closing down operations With the improved lighterage facilities and good roads leading from solomon to the mine biz saving in transpo rta tion costs can be made
 The same lode which exists at the Big Hurrah mine has been traced across country to Iron Or. and on to Coffee Dome in the | kouga rok mining section, the gold | is the same quality and the for mation and strata are identical If ' one could just visualize in the years to come. number of quartz | mills opera ting across this stretch | Of country extending probably 75 to a hundred miles, and the act witty which would naturally take place.

7oaenley Sends Bo~en
To Speak to Farmers
Sang Old Song of Hate-Practi-
cal Solution of Problems were
Lacking

When the time came for the adj
dress of A. c. Townley, organizer
and guiding spirit Of the old Nom
Partisan League, at the City Park
Friday evening of last week, fair
sized crowd was on hand.
Many were attracted to the park
to hear Mr.. Townley's latest pol
itical panacea for all the ills OF
mankind not because they might
be impressed with its soundness.
In the good old days" Townley
charged his followers $1,000 per
head. The price for the new organ
ization has been reduced to $3.50
each.
Friday evenings meeting started
very informally. A dark complex
toned gentleman asked for the peo-
pie to. gather close and started to
spiel. The speaker was not Mr..
Townley. He was one Of his former
coworkers. Mr.. Brown, closely af-
filiated with the League in its
balmy days.
Mr.. Bowen's socialism Is almost
Communistic in its tendencies.
The speaker sang the same old
song of hate, making lot Of state
ments very. general In character.
He did notoffer any specific solu-
ton for lifting the agricultureist
and small business man out Of his
difficulty.
Great things are promised for
the future.
The Herald did not cuddle up to
the original Non-Partisan propa-
ganda spread by Mr.. Townely and
his field men. Time has proven
that the Herald was the real friend
of the farmer at that time.
We would recommend that any
program he promulgates should be
studied very carefully before the
farmers and SINH business men of
the Sank Centre community cough
up $3.50. or any other sum, to pro-
mote, his plan.
His success in bringing relief to
agriculture in former years justifies
this course on the part Of the small
business man and farmer.
