ASSAYS AND MILL TEST.
For more than thirteen years now
the tow a of Skagway has beeu sub
jected to the assay reports of various
and several alleged experts on civic
prbgT\<ss
Now she is to cake the "mill test"
? will she stai d it? Today will tell.
?The people will declare by their ac
tion tonight, whether this town is a
"true ledge" carrying "pay" or just
a small kidney." that has made
her little flash and is now fit. only
for the ' waste dump."
Tune was when this town would
assay high in the percentage column
as a producer ? but that "lead" prov
ed to be only a small "blowout" ?
with the close of the gambling gauiee
and all the big hurrah sort of life
that always follows and feeds off
the prosperity naturally induced by
the expenditures of large sums of
money in new development work,
the town began its retrograde
movement.
Then came adverse assay" reports
? everywhere one could hear thai
Skag way was slowly dying, that '?
would be a k.adness for the hills to
fall over and bury the place.
but assay reports are often mis
leading The time has come now to
demonstrate by "mill test" that
this old town is "mineral in place;'*
the Uaily Alaskan firmly believes
that she will stand the test.
There isn't, a doubt but that the
people can get together on this
proposition which means so much
for the city in the aggregate and
to each of us individually. It is nut
contemplated to go In for anything
too heavy and burdensome for the
pt*>ple to stand.
If our hills contained nothing but
sage brush and sand the proposition
of establishing this sampling miil
would still be a good investment on
account of the very excellent geo
graphical position the town occupies.
Come out to the ineeUug people
of Skagwaj aud show that every
fiber of our . itizi-aship carries val
uea, that we are all 'pay or*-" ? and
the town will stand the test.
HERCULES.
Hercules has done his labors ia the
slickest sort of style, and a bunch of
awe-struck neighbors came to Jolly
him awhile. "Colonel," said the vil
lage sages, "you have won a fame
galore, that will anort along the
ages for a billion years or more. \ ou
have won immortal glory, won re
nown beyond compare, yau are strict
ly hunkydory. you are right side up
wfLh care."
' Terad venture," said the colonel,
as he took a fine cut chew, "my re
nown will be eternal, wherefore,
cockadoodledoo: But the fates I'm
not forgiving that all things are out
of tune, for it's plain that I am liv
ing seven thousand years too soon.
Let my fame o'er worlds be sounded
? what, then, shall the profit be?
There are no Chautaquas founded,
and the platform'snot for me! Cheap
er skates in later ages, men who
travel on their gall, will draw in all
kinds of wages in the blooming con
cert hill. I might lessen my dis
tresses if I started writing books,
but there are no printing presses ?
thunderaUon and gadaooks! All my

hopes are down to zero, death to me
wouUt be a boon; it is bum to be a
hero seven thousand years too soon!"
? Walt Mason.
If the Tanana valley had not
placed the sampling mill at a con
venient point, there would not be
much Joins in the quartz mining and
milling of that country today-. The
longer Skagway hestitates about this
sampling mill which it is contemplat
ed to establish here, the more remote
does prosperity grow.
There isn't a place in all Alaska
so ideally situated as Skagway for
the purpose of building a quartz mill
Nowhere is there such an abundance
of water power available the year
round with (he other advantages
which mako a good mill site.
Old Skip way can get together once
more and do things ? there Isn't the
slightest doubt about it. All that
is necessary is to come out to the
meeting tonight and hear a free and
fair discussion of the subject.
Everybody can boost a little.
Skagway was once noted for her
boosters" ? but now we want a dif
ferent kind ? the "free milling kind"
and all "pay."
Come out to the meeting tonight.
Make your little talk. Listen to the
others. And then ? get ready to put
your shoulder to the wheel.
Today! Now!! is Skagway 's op
portunity. Will the people realize
this f&dt?
Can Skagway come back? The
mass meeting tonight will tell.
