QUARTZ ERA OPENED

The notable feature of Alaska min
iug development during the coming
reason will be the opening of quartz
properties, of which there have been
discovered and prospected several dur
ing the last year. This is true not
ouly iu the Klondike region, but in
the Tanatia country as well.
Sufficient has been done in both
regions to demonstrate that there are
strong and well defined ledges, in
place, of free milling ores, carrying
values so high that they will pay well
to work, even with the heavy expense
of carrying into the couutry the neces
sary milling machinery aud counting,
as well on the high rate of wages
which must be paid iu the north in
order to attract there labor in suf
ficient quantity.
The developement of the quartz]
properties will mean the opeuing of a
new era in the eutire Northern ;
country on both sides of the line.
Coming as it does, not only long be
fore the placer properties have been
exhausted, but even before they have
reached their highest stages of devel
i penient, the great ramps of the'
North will pass from the temporary
to the permanent without the period
?>f retrogression and stagnation which
has marked this intermediate period
in most other gold mining regions.
With the opening of the big quartz
properties, all questiou of the periua
i'euce of the Northern mines and of
'.he cities and towns which have
thrown up in their neighborhood is
settled finally. The permanent mines
which are to be opened, if the ledges
hold good and increase iu value with
depth, as it appears they will, will be
working wheii all of the original mill- i
ing population of Alaska has dissap
p eared. The Yukon country and Al- 1
aska will have no serious setbacks
but will, rather, grow and expand
year by year. ? Seattle P. I.
People who are pessimistic about
the future of Alaska should reiuembe
that the country is practically only
twelve years old. True, the country
was here before, but there were but
few people here and little trade pre
vious to the rush in 1808. Alaska is
bound to have its resources developed
and a bis increase in its material
prosperity will result.
Tullic Larrinaga, the congressman
from Porto Rico, a half caste himself
ynd representing a half caste consti
tuency, is given a vote and a voice
in the United States congress while
the people of Alaska must scud a
delegate who can be seen but seldom
heard. Is tins justice?
If the Republican party fails to
make material decreases in the
present tariff duties it will insure its
own defeat in 1S>12. The people are
awake at last and are demanding rad
ical revision.
The new town council will practice
what the preach. Starting with
a promise of economy one of its
first official acts was to make a
reduction of $y00 in the muni
cipal pay roll. It all helps some.
Let us not therefor judge one an
other any more: but judge this rather
that no man put a stumbling block or
occasion to fall ia his brother's
way. ? Romans. Chapter 14 ? 13.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME.
Fwfti a pitiful mistake.
An error sad anil grim.
I waited for the '.tllway train. *
Tho light was low anil illm.
TT came at last, and from the car
J- Thvro stepped a dainty dame.
And. looking up and down tho place.
She straight unto mo caino.
Jack!" sho cried. "Oh. dear old
v Jack"'
And kissed me as she spake.
Then looked again and. frightened, cried,
"Oh. what a had mistake V
J SAID, "Forgive me, tnalden fair.
For I am not your Jack.
And. as regards t! ?? kiss you gave.
I'll straightway glvo It back."
A ND since that night I've often stood
t'pon that platform dim.
But only once In man's whole life
Do such things come to him.
