SEM KING AGAINST FURTHER FUNDS FOR
 ALASKA RAILROAD

That Senator Howell is not the only stumbling block to the granting of appropriations for maintenance of the Alaska Railroad is disclosed by Wash ington reports this week stat ing that Senator King, of Utah, has gone on record as being op- posed to granting of further funds for the operation of the road and has also declared his intention to not only resist appropriations, but also said that it is his intention to intro- duce bill at the next session for the sale of the road.
 Senator Kings attitude was disclosed in the Senate on July 15, when he ended a criticism of the railroad with the follow ing statement:
 'I give notice to the com mittee, and to my able friend { Senator HowelD, that I shall oppose any further appropri- ations for the Alaska Railroad, , and I shall offer a bill, if no one else does, at the December session of Congress, calling for the sale of the railroad"
 With the earnings of the railroad being shot to pieces as a result of the investigations" and interferances of Senator Howell and his self-nominated committee, and with so power ful a figure as Senator King opposed to further government assistance and determined to close down or get rid of the railroad, it is clear that Alas kans will have to put up a bit ter fight if that overwhelming ly important aid to Alaska's development it to continue to exist.

According tosthe report, beach mining at Nome, which produced several million dollars worth of gold in the gold rush of 1898, is be- ing revived. Although no big pay has been reported, miners are said to be making from S4 to $5 a day with hand rockers.

GEORGIA RIVER GOLD
 REVIEWS ACTIVITIES

An extensive program of un- derground and surface devel- opment will be carried on this summer by the Georgia River Gold Mines, Ltd, on their properties on Georgia River, it was made known this week by Wellington Beaton, president of the company.
 MT. Beaton arrived from Van couver last week, accompanied by Bert. Shermer, mine fore man, to launch the new pro- gram, which will be carried on under his personal direction.
 The development program outlined includes the extension of the cross cut started last fall to cut the ore body exposed in the No. 1 tunnel on what is known as the southwest vein. Ore from this shoot is said to assay up to $40 per ton in gold. The cross cut extension will give 260 feet of additional depth on the vein, or total depth of about 400 feet below the surface.
 It is also proposed to extend the cross cut from the No. 3 tunnel to cut the main vein south of the Bullion vein. This vein is of such size that a nominal increase in the values will permit profitable operat- ion. Surface exploratory work will also be done on the Sum- init vein, located near the top of the mountain, on which but little work has been done so far, and which displays excell- ent indications for developing an important ore body.
 A small crew is employed at present getting things ready for later activities.

6O-DAY SHOOTING
 SEASON ALLOWED

The annual open season on
 ducks, geese and brant in Alas
 ka, curtailed last year to 30
 days, has been extended to 60
 days this year, according to advices from the department of agriculture received by the Alaska Game Commission.
 The season this year will ex- tend from September 1 to Oct ober 31 over the entire Terri tory. The daily bag limit on all ducks, except wood-ducks, rud- dy ducks an d bafflehead ducks is fixed at 15 in the ag- gregate, but not more than five cider ducks and not more than ten of any one or of the aggregate of the following species: canvas back, red head, greater and lesser scaup, ring neck, blue winged, green winged and cinnamon teal, shovelers and gadwalls.
 Possession limit are fixed at 30 ducks in the aggregate of all kinds, but not more than 10 cider ducks and not more than 20 in the aggregate of all the varieties mentioned in the pre- cedlng sentence. Not more than 25 live duck decoys may be shot over but there is no re- striction on the use of live goose decoys in Alaska.
 Nothing is said respecting daily bag limits on geese and brant While not specifically indicated in the presidential or der, it is presumed by H. E. Terhune, executive secretary of the Alaska Game Commiss- ion, that the snipe season will be the same as for ducks, geese and brant, annd the bag limit the same as prescribed in regu- lation 12 of the game laws.

Ottawa Conference May
 Discuss Silver Question

Despite early announcements that the silver question would not be discussed at the Imper ial Conference, in session at Ottawa, press reports indicate that there is a strong probab- ility that the question will be presented to the conference in connection with the plan to create a stable unit of ex- change within the Empire.
 Advocates of silver remone- tization were reported to have linked the bimetallism scheme for the British commonwealth with the idea of a super-Em- pire Bank, which is strongly advocated as a means of cur rency and exchange stabilizat- ion.
 The question, however, is said to involve many intricate angles and is still in an un- official stage. So far no state ment has been made regarding the progress of either silver or the Super-Empire Bank idea.

High Grade Shipments
 From Dunwell Planned

William Younkin and Own ey McFadden, who recently ob- tained a lease on the Dunwell property, have encountered a shoot of high grade ore carry ing gold and silver values of sufficient size to warrant ship ment in spite of present low metal prices. They have al- ready mined and sorted about ten tons of the ore, which they plan to sack for early ship ment.
 Samples of the ore brought to Stewart by them last week caused something of a sensat- ion there. The ore was locat ed on the Sunbeam claim and there is said to be enough of it in sight to indicate possibilities of maintaining regular ship

Alleged Forger Committed

Carl Kalis, a gentleman of Russian ancestry but natural ized in Canada, was committed for trial in the county court at Prince Rupert by Stipendary Magistrate J. P. Scarlett in Stewart this week, following a hearing on three separate charges of forgery. The ac- cused was charged with pass ing several money orders which appear to have formed part of the plunder of a recent robbery in British Columbia. Kalis is said to have signed his own as we'll as fictitious names to the orders, one of which was reported to have been cashed by a Hyder merchant and oth- CTS in Stewart and Hyder, B. c.
 After cashing the orders, Kal- is apparently made no attempt to make a getaway and seems to have spent the money freely in having a good time. The ac- cused was employed by the Premier company on the Pros perity group in 1880 and is known to many local residents.

BILL INTRODUCED
 ID SUSPEND 1882
 ASSESSMENT WORK

About a month ago the pres
 ident signed a joint resolution
 suspending assessment work
 on mining claims for the year
 from July l, 1881, to noon of
 July 1, 1882, says report
 from Washington this week.
 There was very little opposit-
 ion to this measure but after it
 was passed many mine owners
 claimed that the assessment
 work had already been per formed for the fiscal year indicated and as result no
 benefit would accrue to them by reason of the resolution. Some few complaints were re ceived from Alaska, alleging that the resolution would prove a detriment because many min- CTS usually employed o do the work for large claim holders would be denied em- ployment. Others wrote to the Alaska Delegate that if they were compelled to do the Erequired yearly assessment work they would be compelled to forfeit their claims. But from mining states like Calif- ernia, Arizona and Colorado, demands have come for the passage of a resolution that would suspend the annual ass essment work for the year end ing July l, 1883. As a conse- quence, on July 12, Represent ative Eaton of Colorado intro duced a resolution providing "That the provisions of section 2324 of the Revised Statutes of the United States which re- quire on each mining claim To- cated, and until a patent is is- sued therefor, not less than $100 worth of labor be per- formed, or improvements ag- gregating such amount to be made each year, be, and the same is hereby, suspended as to all mining claims in the | United States, including Alas ka, during the year beginning at 12 o'clock meridian July 1. ] 1882, and ending at 12 o'clock 1 meridian July 1, 1933."
 The author of the resolution made no effort to secure it's passage at the session which ! has just adjourned. He states, however, that he has no doubt ! about it's passage soon after the next session in December.
 Alaska miners who oppose the resolution should write their protests to Hon. Joe L. chairman of the House committee on Mines and Min ing.
