MINING AGAIN IT KETCHIKAN
It is ever a pleasure 10 sound and re- i
peat the note of cheer. For some time i
the booming city of Ketchikan has been i
suffering a slight slump occ sioned by a
like feeling in tho price of copper. But I
things are looking up in that neighbor- i
hood and there is evidence of a return
of the conditions of two years ago.
After telling us tbis much by way of in- ;
troductiou the Ketchikan Miner goes
into details as follows:
Sam I. Silverman, under whoso aus
pices. management and control, the
mines of the Brown-Alaska company
were originally opened and developed,
is again to the fore and has a
force of men at work unwatering the
Mamie mine, with a view to its further
developemci't in connection with the
Stephenstowu, of which he is likewise
the controlling spirit, on a scale look
ing to a large production in the wry
near future. It wu> well understood at
the time operations were suspended at
the Mamie tha-. large ore bodies had
been encountered in the lower level,
aud that nothing but the financial com
plications with which the owners were
oeset. Induced the suspension of opera
tion* and ihe subsequent biiukrupsv of
thecoinpanv. Mr. Silverman, who has
always asserted his co fidence in the
minei or thu rmmediate vicinity, has
lost none .. f his Kith, ard may now be
d 'pended upon to prove that the faith
by tl.e work of practical, judicious de
velopment, of the accomplishment of
which he is so abundantly capable.
His plans contemplate a connection of
the Mumie with the Stevenstown, by
tunnel from 'h- p-es^nt bottom level
of first named, wi icb will give the
Stevenson ore an outlet th-ough the
Mamie to the Hadley smelter, for the
ownership and con rol of which he
is now negotiating. The renewal of
mining opera' ions at thi* point will re
store Hadley to its old time condition of
Industrial activity and mo?t probably
make that place the general mining
headquar.ers of that part of ivasian
peninsula. Mr. Silverman itdvlses the
Miner of his intention to augument
his for-e of miners to from seventy
five to one hundred men, just as
rapidly as they can be emp'oyed to ad
vantage.
WELL. RATHER
The Juneau Iiecord is emphatic in
declariu;: Itself "against territorial |
government first, last an J always."
and asserts that w property owner id
Alaska wjints teriitorial (joverrmfn',
and that the advoc ites for a change in
our preseut system are to be found o 1;
among thoso seeking oflice, and li t
floating population. Well cow, that is (
queer! Here we have five separate anil ,
distinct candidates for delegate to con
gress, two of them running on platforms
expressly pledging the parties they rep
resent to territorial government and
bjth such candidates beinjf open and
avowed advocates of that measure
while neither of the other three have
made any ex pressions 10 the contrary,
and yet the Record would have its read
era believe that th?- people of Alaska

land in solid array "gainst It! Would
lie Uecord have us understand that Mr.
r. w. Cor sou the regularly nominated
epubltcau candidate for delegate to
:ongrcss, is, iu spite of bis able and
eloquent advocacy of territorial goverc
nent, opposed to that which he op?o!v
advocates, or, in lieu of that, is ono of
,he ''floating population" w oio views
tud opinions are unworthy o( considera
tion? In view of the fa:t that the liee
>rd is supposed to be a -upporterof
Mr. Corson's candidacy it. wou'd seem
ts if the edlt.ir of that publication owes
id ap|M)logy to that gentleman espo
:lally, and au explanation of tts position
x> the public generally. It may he a
little dillicult for the Kccord to explain
aow, in the absence ol any persons in
Maska who favor territorial govern
ueut, Mr. Corson can hope to secure
tiis election through an advocacy of that
:heory ; but it is s juarely up to It to uu
lertake the tass on penalty of being
sonvlcted of a very badly c.mcoctod
scheme to decoivo the public o.v a mis
representation of the real condition-) in
Alaska. Its own position, as relates to
the coming delegate election, is, to say
the very least, self-contradictory. ?

SINCE USING CUTICURA
MOTHER GIVES IT PRAISE
"Several month* at?\ my little hoy,
now two and a half years old, began to
break out witn
itching sores. I
bt'Knn to doc
tor liim, and as
goon as I got
them healed up
in one place they
would break out
in another. I
was almost In
despair. I could
not get anything
t hat would help
him. Oneoven
itiR I read a U-s
timonial from a
lady whtfnad curod nor little boy with
Cuticura. I began to use tlio Cuticura
Soap and Cuticunv Ointment, and after
using them threo tlmee, the sores com
menced to heal. Ho is now well, and
not a scar is left on his body. They
have never returned nor left him with
bad blood, as ono would think. Cuti
cura Remedies are the best I have over
tried, and they are surely great; I
shall always have them in the house,
handy, arid shall highly recommend
t hem'to an v one who is sulTering likeVise.
I cannot glvethera too much praise.
