(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan)'
Seattle, Aug. "?Gov, A. P. Swine
ford, the Independent candidate for
delegate to congress from Alaska for
the short term, arrived from Nome yes
terday and sailid last night on the Jeff
erson for Ketchikan. He says the trip
down the Yukon and Nome visit has con
vinced him that he stands a good chance
to carry the election. He admits that
he sees some trouble In the interior acd
at Nome because of t?:? presentation of
his name to the democratic convention.
He says that presentation was entirely
unauthorized. He says he Is a candi
date regard'essof politics and If elected
he will represent all {forties in Alaska.
He says he would not be surpised to see
Prank H. Waskey retire from the race
on account of his private business con
nections which deman 1 his attention
He says, however, that if Waskey stays
in the race he might draw a sufficient
number of votes from him to elect
Judge Murane for the short term.
Goy. Swineford says Waskey would
never have been nominated if tele
grams sent by Nome democrats to
Southeastern Alaska had oeen an-,
swered.
Gov. Swineford said: "I believe I
will carry a (food share of the votes In
both the second and the third judicial
divisions. It Southeastern Alaska
gives me the majority that I expect I
will be elected."
Gov. Sivineford will make speeches
at Juneau, Doug-las and Ketchikan if he
has the necessary time to do so.
Strike fails to Materialize
St. Petersburg, Aug. 7? The strikers
are inactive and everything is quiet,
awaiting the outcome of the attempt of
the leaders to call out the working men.
The hesitation of the railroad workers
I is the cause of the delay. It is admitted
by all that if there be no railroad strike
the entire movement will be a fiasco.
| The government is arresting a" the
leaders of the revolution and those who
are attempting to pull of a general
strike.
GOLD STRIKE 41 IHINFS
CAUSES EXCITEMENT
A gold quartz strike made by pros- ]
pectors engaged by Lieut. Walter S.
Brown of the Tenth Infantry, has ex
sited the citiz ns of Haines. Mount
Ripiosky is being staked right and left
and excellent assays have been received
from the ore, which has been sent to :
Juneau assay ers for examination.
The claims were originally staked as ?
iron properties, and samples of the ore
sent to Juneau to secure the opinion of
expert assayers. The returns showed
$14 per ton in gold. The assayer ad
vised that the claim owners disregard
the iron values and treat the ore for
gold.
The staking was renewed with inter
est when the report of the assayer was
received.
Most of the officers of the Tenth In
fantry at Fort William H. Seward and
many of the citizens of Haines have
claims. Lieut. Brown, however, is the
heaviest owner of claims. He secured
many from privates whom he paid from
$30 to per claim.
Lieut. Brown has erlis' ed capital aod
?wit 1 install a 10-stamp mill at once.
He is shipping ore south for the pur
pose of securing a mill test.
Lieut. B.-own's father is one of the
big stockholders in the United States
Steel Corporation, He instructed
his son when be learned that he was
leaving for the north to keep his eye
open for iron properties. This injunc
tion is what lead the army officer to
have Mount Ripinsky prospected,
it is said there are millions of tons of
ore in sight such as that from which
the $14 assay was secured.

MELLEN AlIHOR OF ROAD
COMMISSION PLANK
It is learned from sources that seem
reliable that it was "Judge" H. W.
Mellet), himself, that was responsible
for the plank in the platform adopted
by the so-called democratic convention
at Juneau last month condemning the
Alaska road commission, and there is a
story in connection with his sore place.
Here is the story told by those who
should Know:
"Judge" Mellen is one of the owners,
of a miue at Coppermount on Prince of
Wales island. The road commission
has been planning the construction of a
whgon road across the island. "Judge"
Mellen conceived that it would be a
good thing- for the government to con
struct and operate a tramway instead
of a wagon road. He presented the
matter to the commission.
The road commission promptly In
formed "Judge" Mellen that it had no
authority to build a tramway and could
not operate one if it did ouild it. It
was made plain that so far as the road
commission was concerned it must be a
wagon road or nothing.
It is said this explana'ion of the
sit ua' ion was never accepted by
"Judge" Mellen as satisfactory and that
he has made use of the first opportunity
afforded him to hit back. He was a
member of the flatform committee at
the so-called democratic conventidb,acd
tt is said, there got his work in.
