MUZZLING THE PRESS
The Whitehotse Star has the follow
ing comment on Ihe recent attempt
at censorship m?de upon The Alaskan:
WOULD MUZZLE THE PRESS
The representative of a corporation
at SKagway. in what wad probably a
moment of mental aberration, presum
ed to dictate to the Daily Alaskan as to
what it should aod should not publish
and for the reason that the paper gave
him the merry ha ha he took his com
pany's ad out of the "sheet" and
stopped the "rag"? that is, he stopped
the copy of it that came to his office
but th? paper continues to bo "perpe
trated" six days each week as of yore.
The newspaper that councils with
every Tom, Dick rnd Harry as
to what it shall publish and what
it shall suppress will soon "hit the
cellta'."
"We have heard of muzzlers but
did not suppose there were any as
far north as Skajovay. There are nooe

HEINZE
F. Augtstus Heiwze, the most spec
tacular "high limit" gambler that tbe
nge of Frenzied Finance ha-> produced
has added another exciting chapter to
his remarkable career. This latest ex
perience differs materially from any
thing that he has previously encoun
tered for now, for the first time since
he became a National figure, he feela
the iron of defefct. The magnificent
nerve which enabled Heioze to annex,
without money and without price,
some of the best mining properties in
Montana and to tight to a standstill,
the greatest corporation the world ever
saw, apparently reached its limitations
when Wall street got the strangle hold
on the young plunger. Heinz.*, a young
man, still in tbe thirties .is a record
which in many features ads like an
Arabian Xisrhts tale. Goir? to Montana
when but little more than a boy and
with no other capital than a good
strong physique, a clear head and a
colossal nerve, in less than ten vear> he
became a figure of world-wide impor
portance in mining and financiul cir
cles, acd a politic ?I dictator of almost
supreme power in the Cobper Slat*,
-ays the Portland Oregonian.
Time after time he met and van
quished the forces of Standard Oil,
wiuoinr now bv the brute force of his
loyal employes in tbe mines, and
again by the > >btler but equally pow
erful influence which he wielded in
judicial circles. But Heinze made the
mistake of bis life when he shifted his
fighting grouud from Montana to Wal.
Street. Out in tbe wild freo West, his
jovial careless air of good fellowship
rallied to bis standard a following oo
which he could depend in ail emerg
encies. But in Wall Street, sentiment
long ago died from lack of nutriment
and Flcic/.e and the 'millions which he
wrung from Standard Oil were only a
little more fresh meat for the wolves.
And yet it would be ba dly fair to
enroll this spectacular plunger on the
list of the "Down and Out" Club.
Heinze is not the first. Westerner to
take his bankioll Jowa to Wall Street
and leave it, but some of them have
shown wonderful recuperative powers
and there is nothing m the p?st record
of Heinza to indicate that be is not the
paer of any men who have ever in.
dulged iu high finance either in the
East or West. It will never be definite
ly known how much of the credit for
the remarkable victories which Heinze
won in Montana is due to his own tal
ent and nerve and how much should be
apportioned to the unfavorable senti
ment against his opponents. Montana,
in permlttiug Heinze to take every
thing he found on the Sundard Oil
premises that was not uaiied <bwn, was
prompted less by love for Heinz? than
Dy haired for the men he was fighting
and robbing.
The Montana experience of this bold
operator quite clearly illustrates thai
considerable elasticity is permitted in
any code of moral* which gives the ol
octopus the worst of the bargain
Without making any apologies for
Heinze and his methods, U is perhaps a
good thing for the country that some
such financial buccaneer as Heinze
comes along occasionally and engages
in the pastime known as "fighting the
devil with Gre."
Yet, withal. he a much overes i
mated person. The conditions in Butte
made Heinze. A kejntr crowd of
"come on men" never seperated the
farmer of the east from bis money than
was employed by Heinze in Butte.
Men long and well taught in the big
schools of eastern graft operated togreat
advantage in the "Greatest Mining
Camp on Earth" In Heiaze's interests,
and their efforts and brains made him.
The miners were taught that as long as
Heinze and the Kerosene iotenrsts were
at war they would have the eight-hour
la* and big pay; that so rood as the
Atnalgama'ed won their tUht with
Heinze Butto would be a one company
camp ami a company store placcd there
in. Thus the men who were emptoyod
in the Mines of the Amalgamated vot
ed for Heinze's judges and the judges
in turn made injunctions against the
Standard Oil properties, which, lasting
for days, made Heinze rich Dybls being
able to loot them through fa'se "upex"'
claims? In fact, when Helnze had
Judge Clancy and Judge Harney under
his control he made moit of his money
mining in court.
But to ''Pat" O'Farrell, a Dublin
man, whose facile pen created the
newspaper editorials; "Pal" Mull ins, the
Butte Mayor, peer of good mixers and
vote getters, who became famous by
remarking, when introduced- to Presi
dent Roosevelt, "Pleased ^o moet you,
Teddy," and "Tom" Hines, a political
free lance, who charged and had Judge
Clancy allow him $300,000 for uctiog as
Receiver for an Amalgamated mine for
seven days, Heinze got his strength in
Montana and he kuew It, for Heinze di -
vided generously with tbem the loot he
go\ at Butte, and each of his old allies
are now rated well near the million dol
lar column, and, without cbubt, If
Heinze has made a dump of his fortune
in Wall street, he can get a stake to
start with from any one or all of them,
if be wants it.
When the man or men who have beeo

Referring to the action of soveral

to give cuticle to be used in skin graft
ing on Dennis Murphy, recently injured
in an explosion at Haines, The Musher
says:
"If the doctrine of the God-man is
involved in His teaching tbat 'Greater
love than this no man has, that be lays
down his life for his friend'; certainly,
there can be no doubt of the presence
of Christian charity in the make-up of
these men. If willing to give a part of
their body for the well-being of Dennis
Murphy, would not the same motive
principle induce them to make more
vital sacrifices if necessity required ?
"Would that the world and such men
were synonyms. The world is belter

As predicted In the Whitohorse Star
at the time of the closing down of the
Venus mine on Windy Arm three
week* ago, the suspension will be only
temporary and when operations are re
sumed it will be on a scale commensu
rate with the known value of llie prop
erty.
The volume of the purchase price of
the Venus is due and payable on Ni
vember 1st and wo have it on undisput
ed authority that not only is the money
ready, but enough bas been appropri
ated for the purpose of erecting a con
centrator by which means the out-put
of the mints wUl be handled at home
and without the expense of shipping to
the outside.
About a half a dozen of the acknow
ledged richest silver mines in the dis
trict, if not on the continent, are eni
braced in the Venus group, all of which
are being acquired by the payment of
the money on the first of the month.
The vast ore bodies have proven so
rich that to further dub along by ship
ping ore upward of 1,000 miles is not
considered good policy by the owners,
to say nothing of the mighty saving
that will result from treiting it on the
property.
The machinery for a concentrator
will be hauled over the ico from Car
cross to the site this winter and the
worK of construction will be.;in about
the tirst of April.

winter but those who stay wi<h the
