W. H.
W. H. Isom, of the N. A. T. and T.
Company, came in on last night's
train from Whitehorse enroute from
Fairbanks to the outside. Mr. Isom
says that everything is all right in
the Fairbanks country except that the
mines in that vicinity are and will be
short of help on account of the stara
pt-des In every direction.
Mr. Isom laihents the fact that
there does not seem to be at the
present time any considerable number
of the old time prospectors in the coun
try. He can discover no reason for
the disappearance of the old time's
unless it be that they have all got
their homeslake and gone to distant
lands.
In regard to the rumor that hi9
company had sold out their holdings,
he said there was nothing in the
story. The company has closed out
all the small trading stations and
confined their business operations
to the main supply points along the
Yukon. But they are still in the couu
try and doing business as of yore.

Delegate to Congress. Judge James J
Wickersham arrived on the Seattle !
this morning enroute to Fairbanks.
It is good to get back to Alaska, the .
judge says, and the pleasant sunshine
of Skagway has a most exhilarating
effect. He made the remark that a '
short time ago he had occasion to I
sired that result, and who were the
enemies of Alaska. The Judge sajrs
that when any announcements are
to be made as to his future plans in
politics, he will make such announce
ment to, and through his friends.
The story would natumlly appear
to be a fake from the wealmesn of It.
No man with sound Judgmet would
think of making such an announce
ment and thereby cripple his useful
ness by the loss of prestige that
such a declaration would cause. The
judge simply laughed about the talk
of his being a candidate for governor
jf Alaska. He said there was no
truth in It. He would not have the
position nnder any possible circum
stances.
Senator Jones, of Washington, at
Alaska's Representative in ?"*' ? Jam * Wi kersbam
look the matter up and found that
Skagway had more sunshine than any
other part of Southeastern Alaska
Judge Wickersham will return to
Washington from Fairbanks In Dc
cember.
To a representative of the Alaskan
the delegate from Alaska said that
there was absolutely no foundation
for the reports that he had decided
to eschew politics or that he had de
termined not to be a candidate for
re-election. Those reports were sent
out at the instigation of those who de
the r quest of Delegate Wickershani
Introduced his elective legislature bill
in the senate, and the judge has ever
assurance that it will pass. The dera
ocrats have promised to pass It In
the house and the republicans have
agreed to pass it In the senate. Sen
ator Jones had given him the assur
ance that President Taft would sign
the bill.
The judge will lea.e on tomorrow
Ijiorning's train for Whitehorwe and
take the first boat down the Yukon
for Fairbanks.
