choose senators by popular vote and
like to settle the suc:esslon early.
Williams is senator-elect, but in (act
will remain leader of the Democratic
minority in the bouse.
If be lives Ion? enough he will be
senator. That is really all that can be
said of his elevation to th*t body.

CMCHAGOFF BIG GOLD OlTPiir
PREPARATIONS FOR BIG- DEVELOPMENT
I ?
(United Prets Telegraph-Cable Service.)
Sitka, Jan. 22 ? What has come to be known as the
Treasure Ship, B, Captain Pill, arrived here this morning
from Chichagoff island bringing one hundred pounds of
gold in solid bricks, the out put of the Chichagoff Gold
Mining company. The shipment was in the personal charge
of Superintendent of the Mine Archangelsky.
This is the fourth shipment of the same amount from
the mine within the last five months. The company has forty
thousand dollars worth of concentrates now at the mine
which value is to be added to the amount shiped away in
solid yellow metal.
Edward De Groff, president of the company, is making
arrangements for big development work on the property
this coming summer. A largely increased forc&of men will
be pat ou the work just as soon as these arrangements have
reached a stage to admit it, and this stage will be reached
as speedily as enterprise and certainty as to the value of
the grouud can get it there.
Big ore bodies have very lately been uncovered on the
property in the course of the regular development and sup
erintendent Archangelsky is very enthusiastic concerning
the ultimate value of the property.
This is ttie property which, located about two years
ago, almost depopulated the city of Sitka caused by the
stampede resulting from the receipt of the news here.
When the news was wired to Seattle it was held up there
and delivery refused on the ground that it was ultra sensa
tional and the publication would be contrary to good pub
lic policy. Present conditions fully justify all that was
wrifi' . ^>out the discovery at the time.
Not only is the Chichagoff Geld Mining compauy
getting the gold out, there are the best of indications on
neighboring properties and two other companies will begin
operations on an extensive scale this coming spring. Many
citizens of Sitka are interested in these properties and each
arrival of the laden treasure ship is attended with mutual
congratulations.
