PROBABLY ALL RIGHT NOW
A solicitor took some subscriptions
for the Alaska-Yukon magazine in .Ju
nend a couple of nionthes ago, and
thereby hangs a tale of much anxiety.
Something like $100 was collected
in Juneab and vicinity, but when the
time had come and gone for the August
number to have arrived, all of the new
Juneau subscribers failed to get copies
of the publication. The matter was
discussed at the meeting of the com
mercial club last week, and Mr. An
drews of the Madison Square Garden
show, said that when he was in Seat
tle the failure to hear from their so
licitor, who had then worked Ketchi
kan, was causing some anxiety to the
publishers, and the secretary of the
club was instructed to wrrite to the
magazine, report the facts, and make
inquiries.
Since then copies of the September
number have been received by the lo
cal newsdealers, and this announces
that there has been a large number of
new subscribers received from South
eastern Alaska towns, and it may be
rightfully inferred that nothing has
happened to the solicitor to cause any
thing more serious than delay.
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN SHOW
This mining district is to be well
represented at the big show which is
to be held this winter at the Madison
Square Garden, the largest show
house in the United States. This will
be probably the most elaborate attempt
that has ever been made to show the
undeveloped resources of the United
States.
Governor Clark wras offered the pos
ition on the board of governors for Al
aska, but not having the time, he
turned it over to Falcon Joslin, who
has certainly proven himself the right
man in the right place. He wras in
New York at the time of his appoint
ment, but he w’ent immediately to the
Pacific Coast, and there raised abun
dant funds for financing Alaska’s part
of the showr. He employed C. \V. And
rews to gather materials for southeast
ern Alaska, while Joslin himself went
into the interior. Andrews has secur
ed an unusually good exhibit, but it is
not nearly enough complete to suit him
and he hopes that every prospector in
the neighborhood will contribute a
chunk or ore, from 100 to 150 pounds
in weight, and turn it over to the com
mittee of the Juneau Commercial club.
It will be sent free by the committee
to Mr. Andrews at Seattle, and he will
take charge of it after that. Superin
tendent Harper of the California-Nc
vada company and Samuel Hirscli are
members of the committee selected by
the Juneau Commercial club.
