PREDICTfOIfS ^EWfLDERiNfj j
Mining ipep pre beginning tpj
wonder what thfe camp is going to j
amount to, apyway. Developments
have been such this summer that
speculation on ^hat the next few
years will disclose has reached to
borders of the fantastic, and yet, no
bne can say that the wildest pre
diction is not in a measure justified.
Conservatives of other districts may
say that such showings can’t exist
but the fact remains that they do
exist. Somewhere there is always
a world beater. There must always
be some district at the peak of pror
duction. Thp next five years, per
haps less, will see this district pale
all others on the glpbe in the
amount of wealth produced, Un
heard-of discoveries have ceased to
cause a sensation locally, though
each cannot but cause a pleasur
able thrill, and it is with satirfact
ion that the Alaska Premier is
welcomed into the fold of the “Big
Ones." The name selected almost
three years ago for this property
was certainly a fortunate one.
TOO MUCH MUSH
The Juneau Sunday Capital
shouts a continuous pean of praise
for every act, good, bad or indiffer
ent, performed by the public offi
cials of the present administration,
and is sore because its shrill solo
remains a solo instead of becoming
a chorus. Other Republican papers
of the Territory, while upholding
the administration without printing
hysterical nothings, fail to tune up
to the Capital’s key, but they also
fail to nauseate their readers.
Everything in tht Capital makes
good reading as a rule with the ex
ception of its political editorials,
but the slavish obsequiousness of
these to the holhers of public offiee
defaces the object for which they
are written. We cannot believe
but that the office holders them
selves are being satiated with the
continuous servile flattery *heaped
Upon them.
Real men spurn rather than en
joy fatuous praise, and welcome
honest criticism. Criticism does
not mean fault-finding, but just an
alysis and classification of their
public acts. If, by chance, one ac
cidentally drifts into office who is
not a real man, he soon forgets that
he is a public servant, and assumes
the position of a master. It is just
such boot-licking tactics ts the
Capital employes that most quickly
brings the susceptible official to
that frame of mind.
JIOT A 3BNEFIT TO ALASKA
' » i j i. I ‘ .
Attorney Maurice D. JLoeljpy, who
Was In Juneau a few days ago, de
clares that the Aientz Bill (H. R.
7736*) now before Congress and
which proposes a revision of the
mining laws, would work much in
jury to Alaska. Re declares that
the ,bill was introduced hy request
and was drafted by the Bureau of
Minep. in conference with a cpm
mitt^e of mining engineers.
It is Mr. Leehey’s opinion that
the new bill was written under the
influence of the great mining engin
eers of the big companies, who do
ppt ^pprecjafe the di/ficpltjes pf
the prospector or the pecessities of
the ?ipajl operators. Ee poipts out
many objections in the proposed
measure that woplij jvork to the
great di$adyantag* of Alaska.
He further declares that our pre
sent mining law i$ fairly satisfact
ory and much preferable to the bilj
that Representative Aient? intso
duced, bqt which he now opposes.
Senator Walsh, of Montana, thus
sizes up the situation:
“The record of 40 years is the
best enconjum that can be pro
nounced upon our mining law It
has admirably served the purpose
fer which it was designed, tp pro*
mote the rapid development of a
wild, unexplored country and to
meet pioneer conditions.”—Juneau
Capital
WAS WICKED DOCTOR
Sometimes the linotype man,
the make-up man or devil makes a
break that produces comical re*
suits in a newspaper. The follow
ing is from the Valdez Miner:
"William Murray, a well-known
old-timer of the Interior, died at
Tanana recently following an at
tack of doctor available, and death
occurred before he could be remov
ed to a hospital.”
HOUSDHOLD HINT
Never spank a child on an emp- ;
ty stomach.
Queer thing about these city big
game hunters. If one mistakes a
man for a deer, he gets him every
time; but if a deer is actually seen,
it almost invariably gets away.
