First delegate to congress from Alaska demands self
government and the evidence shows she is entitled
to it-No politics in Alaska
Seattle, Oot. 15? Hon. Frank H.
Waskey, Alaska's first delegate to
congress, arrived from Nome yester
day. He talked freely about coming
legislation for Alaska. He said that
Alaska's first demand is for self-gov
ernment. All the evidence, he says,
shows the district to be entitled to that.
He points to the recent election bb
one of the very best evidence of the
capacity of the people for seif-govern
inent. He said that there were no
disturbances anywhere. The people
knew what they wanted, and how to
get it. They went about getting it
quietly and orderly.
?'There are no political parties in
Alaska," said Mr. Waskey. '"Those
responsible for the candidacy of Mr.
Cale and myself sent no representatives
to i he so-called political conventions
in Southeastern Alaska because they j
did not want to establish political
parties.
"Alaska wants many things, but I do
not hope to accomplish them all this
winter, Mr. Cale and myself are both
anxious to pave the way for future leg
islation.
"We will try to secure changes in
the election law so they provide for
registration and for spring election. I
"We want changes in the mining
laws. Under them as they now exist
speculators can get ownership of claims
dishonestly. We want land offices at
Nome and Fairbanks as well as Juneau.
We want the law to make it so the
recorder must satisfy himself as to the
eligibility of a filing before accepting
It, We want a form of declaration
with reference to asaessmeut work
that will be specific und certain and we
want the law to make it perjury when
a man swears falsely to an affidavit
regarding it.
"We want a lighthouse district with
a coast and geodetic survey service in
connection with headquarters at Ketch
ikan.
"We will ask the government to pro
vide for the Eskimo so as to make him
self-supporting."

RAINY HOLLOW OPERATIONS
lAKf FIRST PLACE
J. W. Richmond Lee, World's Leading Mining
Engineer. Discloses Something ol the Mag
nitude of Plans for New District
If anythiug further were required to
demonstrate beyond question that opera
tions of a magnitude never before un
dertaken in the north will follow the
I recent sale of the Rainy Hollow mining
I claims, it is furnished by the presence
here of J. W. Richmond Lee, one of the
j world's most famous |uilning engineers
j and the chief-consulting {engineer of
the most extensive mining interests in
Iiondon, and his assurance that work
. will begin immediately. Mr. Loe says
' 300 or 400 men will be employed as soon '
; as he can reach England land have time
to cable back the necessary authoriza
tion. He says, further, that in h very'
short time, just as soon as the develop
ments will warrant it, 4,000 men will be
j employed in the various undertakings
I of the company, which he represents, in
I the vicinity of Rainy Hollow.
The company which has purchased
the Rainy Hollow properties and which
Mr. Lee reprisents here, as well as in
their various enterprises in other por
tions of the world, is composed of a
half-dozen men who rank at the very
top of Knglish life, socially as well
as financially. The president of the
company is a well known member of the
I English nobility. They own the famous
j Corona mine as well as many other
| properties in Spain. They own the
ereat copper producing properties of
Costa Rica, and are the leading pro
' ducers of copper and other ores in
I Mexico. In addition toboingthe largest
' copper producers of Europe they own
and operate iron, coai.f molbdenum and
otber mines. The company has sub
scribed and paid in $5,000,000 capital
for the Rainy Hollow deal. It ts capi
talized for $15,000,000. every cent of
which is in sight when wanted.
Id addition to working the raining
properties in the Rainy Hollow district
and the railroad connecting '.hem with
the coast, it is the purpose, savs Mr.
Lee, of his people to operate smelters
and refineries on |the ground. The dis
covery of an excellent vein of coking
coal of high grade 15 miles north of the
copper properties, which has been
secured for their company, makes this
possible.
M. Thomson, who came here and
closed the bargain for the lxindon peo
ple which secured possession for them
of the Raisy Hollow district has con
trol of the White Ivirer prospects, and
the continuation of the railroad from
Kainy Hollow there, ?nd even to the
headwaters of the Copper and Tanana
rivers, is among the possibilities of the
future.
Speaking of the Haley Hollow dis
trict, Mr. Lee says there is no question
as to its great richness. There are
10,000 tons of bornite in sight, and that
is but a small side-issue of the mines
property, though it is worth $1,000,000.
The Kainy Hollow ore consists of
bornite, sulphides and chalporyte, in
the main. Some promising discoveries
of molybdenum have also been made.
J, W. Richmond Lee is the con
sulting-engineer of the London capi
talists who own the Rainy Hollow prop
erties. He annually vrsits their prop
eriies in Spain, Italy, Costa Rico, Mex
ico and the United States. He has,
also, been made chief consulting engi
neer of the Rainy Hollow company and
will be here much of the time during
the next year. Re will go to Haines
tomorrow, make a trip out to Rainy
Hollow again, and in about 10 days
leave for the south, going straight to
London. From there he will send the
wires which will set 300 or 400 men to
work. He will return here in Febru
ary with a staff of mining and civil
engineers and lay out the work for the
year.
