PLEDGE YOU MY WORD
'?There has been more injustice for the want of a lien
law in this community this year than 1 ever knew in any
locality where 1 have resided. What are you going to do
about that?
"I pledge you that if I don't remedy that I will never
come back to the territory." ? Judge Wickersham.
ANOTHER BONANZA DUE
Alaska is duo to report another
bonanza placer field ami the symptoms
point to the region of the upper Susitna
river, on Valdez creek and adjacent
tributaries of the main stream, says the
Valdez Prospector. All accounts
which come from there indicate the
existance of a great district. The geo
logical formation is that of the other
bonanzi districts of Alaska and the
Yukon and the discoveries so far
made corroborate the testimony of the
rocks. I
Nobody believes that the day ofbo
nanzas in the forth is past? tha^Re
Klondike, the Tanana and Nome will
close the list. In that vast region be
tween Cook inlet and the Arctic o;ean
gold has been found wherever the pros
pector has scratched the surface anJ it
seems pijobable that the minim? so far
done ts no more than the amputation
of the vermiform appendix. Prospec
tors whj have explored the ground
superficially from Cook inlet to the
Yukon admit that they took out
"wages" on nearly everv creek where
they washed gravel, but. they passed on
because tliev were hunting for some
thing easy and would not dig long
ejough in one place to see if rich dirt
lay deep.
TbfrSusitnadistrict Is tribuary to Val
dez acd if this summer's discoveries ad
vertise it ?s the newest bonanza the
stampede will he mainly through this
town, and from here most of the out
fitting will be done. It is important
thatVald<z should lose none of the
Susitna trade by failure to obtain a mail i
route acd improvement of the trail into
the district.
EXCELLENT RECOMMENDATIONS
Tne grand jury has presented a stong
aid timely report, waning no words
but spesking to the point. Kach of its
recommendations seems to the Alaskan
to deserve the best attention of the au
thorities to whom it is addressed. The
town of Haines is of sufficient import

THOSE JL B. EXCURSIONS
(Dawson A. B.'s havo been having a
series of excursions on the Yukon and
they have moved. Arctlo Chief Fred
At wood of Dawson camp to poetry with
this result.)
Some poolt) sing of a tryst Inn tree
Whore loveis oan bill and coo,
And others tell of a leafy lane
With the sunlight glancing through.
But I can slug of a bettor spot
For people who want .to spoon,
The upper deok of a stern-wheel boat
In the light of the summer moon.
Yukon is smooth a* a sea of glass
And mirrors the star-fieckod sky,
And a silver path stretches far away
To the moon as it mounts on high.
And the breeze Is soft as a fairy's
breath,
How happy acd good you feel,
And never a sound will reach your ear.
Savo tho splash of the restless whcot.
Then tho girl who is clad in summer
white,
L'>oks out on the steamei 's wake,
Her chin on her hnnd and her ear at
tent
To ev'ry remaik you make.
And you see the curl of tier auburn
hair,
Which bends to her rose-leaf cheek,
Hut all you can say is: "A lovely night,"
In a tone subdued and meek.
Hut silent oloquence Is the best,
And after an hour goes by,
Yo:i know the meaning of ev'ry glance.
The words of each tender sigh.
And your arm strays o'er to her steam
er chair
As you idly hum a tunc.
Hurrah for the deck of a stern
wheel boat
In the light of the summer moon.
