It a|'|WMrs now that there will be
t .nuliU.it enough in the field so
that the wters n?av make able se
lections for members to the new ter
i Itorial legislature Most anyone
<>f ordinary ability may make a cred
itable showing in a state or terri
torial legislature, after the routine
has once been established, but right
no* we must consider only thoee
men for office who ha*e the educa
tion and training, coupled with a
rapacity for the grind which is aec
rMvarv to dig up laws and prece
dents, and do the enormous amount
of detail work iu the establish
ment of a legislature that will not
be a disgr.ice to the intelligence of
th? north
What do we car* whether a m.m
poaes as a political winner or a
righter of his enemies? The ques
tion is. can he dig into legal his
tory and select the best laws for
I he government of a country?
What do we care whether a man
is a "good fellow" or not? We
want to kuow if he is broad enough
to forget politics and remember that
lie has a duty to |?etforlc that is re
ligiously sacred.
What is it to us if a man has
a political pull, if he has .uot ?he
ability to frame a legislative docu
ment that will hold water?
There is nothing to fight about
lu this legislature Alaska does
not need fighters, it needs workers.
It needs hard workers and men *ho
know how to select the best that the
world as evolved and transcribe
that to the Journals of this new law
making body, after eliminating ail
that is imperfect, outworn and
useless
When you find that kind of a
man. ?ho has the patriotism to be
lieve In self government, vote for
liim thie of the neccessary qualifi
cations to membership In any legis
lature should be that the aspirant
have faith enough in the people to
think that they are capable of self
government. If a man does not :>??
lievM that much of his fellow citi
zens, he is not capable of giving
much to the advancement of human
kind, and ought not be entrusted
with the forming of laws under
which a great people must he gov
erned

PKKriols MK:T\KS In ALASKA
The 1'nitnl States Ceoiogioal Sur
rey hu recently issued a uumb?r
of reports on the deposits of gold
in numerous fields in Alaska? fields
which. thoiiKh their present coutrib
ut ton to the wealth of the world may
be small, are of importance because
of their prospects for future devol
opment.
In Hulletiu 620-F Stephen R
Oapps discusses the goid placers of
th? Yentna district, north of Cook
Julet and south of Mt. McKinljy
JMnce 1505, when jcold was first dis
covered in this region, prospecting
and mining have been carried on
continuously. Gold has been found
to be widely distributed through ' h >
region, yet it has been obtained In
paying quantities only in the ao
called Cache Creek country, in the
hasln of Twin Creek, and at a few
points in the valleys of Lake Creek
aud Kahiltna River A new impetus
lo prospecting was given In the sea
son of 1911 by the discovery of rich
placer ground in the benches above
Dollar Creek. The present known
economic value of the region Ilea
entirely In its placer gold, no valu
able lodea having been discovered.
During the working season of 1911
Henry M. Eakin, made an Invest!
gallon of the Rampart and H?>t
Spring* region, near the Junction of
Yukon and Tanana river*, at about
the geographic center. Gold is the
only mineral of economic import
nnce found In the*area and has been
mined profitably. Tin occurs with
the gold In the placers of Sullivan
i Creels, aitd small quantities have
been recovered incidentally to the
gold mining So far, however, no
serious attempt has been made to
recover any large part of the tin
ore, and ouly a small qflantlty has
t>een shipped.
The Ruby gold-placer district, on
the south side of the Yukon about
ITS miles below the town of Tau
una, is discussed by A. G. Mad
dren. I .ate in the summer of 1907
a report was circulated along the
Yukon that prospects of placer
gold had been discovered on Ruby
Creek, and the district has since
receive* I some attention from gold
seekers. The discovery was made
at the mouth of the creek in some
fine gravel at the level of the
spring high-water mark of the Yu
kon, of which the creek is a tri
butary. Puring the summer of
1911 the report of new discoveries
attracted a large number of per
sons to this district, but the artual
?liscoveries of placer gold up to
the time oi the latest reports do
not seem to indicate that this will
be a new bonanta field, although
many are of the opinion that they
indicate more exteusive deposits of
gold-^ettring gravels
In the open season of 1911 Philip
S. Smith headed a party from the
Geological Survey for the purpose
of investigating the mineral re
sources of the Alatna-Noatna region,
in northwestern Alaska east of
Kottebue Sound. No productive
mining has yet been done in th.?
region, so that no accurate deduc
tions concerning its future can be
made, but It Is believed that there
is a large area of unknown country
between the Noatak and the Kobuk
that warrants Investigation by ob
servant prospectors equipped with
inexpensive outfits.
Not the Sam* Thing.

Waterloo In Rime*.
? The battle of Waterloo has produced
more verse that) any other (if lit on
I record. Probably, too. no other battle
I name lends Itself to such a variety of
rimea. Waterloo Is a Flemish name.
As pronounced by the Belgians It
rimes with "barter low," and before
the Dame became Anglicized this pro
nunciation was current In England
Crabb? makes Waterloo rime with
"foe," but Byron, writing only a few
months later, makes It rime with
"true." A more ingenious rime ap
pears in a Nottinghamshire dialect
poem written during the Crimean war:
We'll feteht >m as we fought the French
when we met at Waterloo.
We brogied >m In the belly and made
'em all go-ughl

Hissing "Carmen."
One of the most popular operas of
the present day, "Carmen." underwent
an unfortunate experience, but achler.
ed success too late, alas, to console the
I disappointed composer, whose death
was accelerated. It is said, by the 111
reception accorded to his chef d'oeu vre.
"Carmen" was. In fact, actually hissed
1 off the stage on Its first performance
In Paris In 1875, and poor Bizet died
shortly after, unable to foresee the
great success In store for his latest
and best work, whose stirring music
?o admirably fits the thrilling Spanish
libretto it Illustrates
Success Is something to live up to;
f.-illur*, something to live down.-'
