fioulties of the prospector or the
necessities of the small operator.
Id fact, splendid mining engineers
like Horace Winchell say that the
day of the prospector is past, and
he need be given no further
consideration, because all the min
ing development of the future de
pends upon the large mining cor
porations and their geologists. The
bill was not drawn by Congressman
Arentz, who introduced it at the
request of the Bureau of Mines,
and now says he is opposed to it
and that he will fight it. The Bu
reau of Mines really drafted the
bill in conference with a commit
tee of mining engineers. The Bur
eau inserted most of the objection
able provisions I have here listed.
We should oppose any wholesale
mining law revision, at this time,
when the mines committee of the
house has only two new congress
men from the western states, while
the chairman and eleven members
are from the farms of the south
and middle west and the other:
member is a socialist from New
York who wants all mines retained
in government ownership. Our min
ing law may not be perfect, but no
law is perfect, and I agree with
Senator Walsh of Montana who says
‘The record of 40 years is the best
ecomium th^t can be pronounced
upon our mining law. It has ad
mirably served the purpose with
which it was designed, to promote
the rapid development of a wild,
unexplored country and to meet
pioneer conditions.”

HERE'S A MYSTERY
An ex-newspaper man writing
from Hyder to a friend in Sitka says:
“The people here want the Terri
torial affairs segregated from the
Federal affairs. They want to con
trol their own affairs. They not only
preach home government but they
want a Legislature that will prac
tice it and not turn over and back
to the Federal government eaeh
session of the Legislature $300*000.
What we want down here are roads,
more roads. We are all tired of a
‘Government by Noise.’"—Sitka
