GQpD ADVERTISING
Ex Senator John Ronan U to be
highly complimented on his record
as representative from this district
to the American Mining CoBgreafc
in Chicago. Not only do we hear
good reports as to his faithful at
tention to the business for which he
wfenj east, that of adding oral sup
port to the fayorable impression
which the magnificent mineral dis
play sent from here was sure to
create, but he fortified his position
and supplied a lasting advertise
ment of the district by preparing
and distributing a descriptive book
let concisely telling of not only the
mineral resources of Hyder and
vicinity, but of other attractions
for both the investor and sight-seer.
The booklet is illustrated with half
tone pictures pertinent to the sub
ject matter and is one that will be
preserved, no matter into whose
bands it may fall, because it is
worthy of preservation.
We are inclined to gently chide
the representative however for not
sending a supply of these booklets
to Hyder. For though we at home
know personally whereof he writes
and are familiar with the scenes
from which his illustrations are
taken, nevertheless we would one
and all derivj pleasure from perus
ing occasion dly such a work of art
as the booklet really is. For ti>e
copy now 01. the Miner's desk we
are indebted to Jack Sutherland,
Who received it from « friend Out
side.
Another matter, though 6f no
great cit i:ne>n -the last illustration,
Show;' . tiie steamship Prince
G >r ,eia th.i harbor, is eaptioned
as also being a view of the Hyder
wharf, when >n reaiity it is the
Stewart wharf, on the Canadian
Side and 2000 feet from Hyder.
We hope ihat if this falls into the
hands of those Congressmen from
whom we expect support in our ef
fort to secure a wharf in Hyder, the
matter can be satisfactorily ex
plained,—but it would have been
better had no necessity for explain*
ing arixen.
Mention of this is not intended
to in any way detract from the
great servioe Mr. Ronan has per
formed for the town and district.
We must one and all congratulate
ourselves upon being able tosecure
such a competent representative,
and must consider that we are
under a lasting debt of gratitude
to him.

; In reply tp the question: "Who

I hesitatingly answer, wives make the1

ihim.
Ths Prince Rupert News says in
a headline: "Only One Cure for the
Interior;" when the paper knows
full well that a variety of cures
oan be had from the government
liquor vendor.
The New Westminster Ministerial
Association has decided against
paying taxes on church lots. We
hold that the “reverend” gentlemen
have taken the right stand. The
Cnurch is nonproductive—why
should it he taxed?
The Alice Arm Herald ruminates:
“This town is full of willing people.
One half of whom are willing to
work for the good of the town, and
the other half willing to let them."
To which we might add: Same
thing over here—only worse, it
would not be impossible to find a
few who are not willing to let the
first half work for the good of the
town.
Alaska is recovering from the
depression caused by the War. At
that time the young men. the vig
orous prospectors and miners, went
into the Army, and the older men
turned their packets inside out” as
:>nte of them phrased it. Moreover,
the cost of supplies, always high in
such a remote region, became pro
hibitive. Even ut the beginning of
the season this year—in May—
many declined to buy supplies in
preparation for a campaign of work I
because prices continued to be ex-1
horbltant; they preferred to wait *
Until next spring, when we antici
pate a real revival. It used to be
thought that only alluvial deposits
existed in Alaska and the Yukon,
but the development of the silver
lead veins of the Mayo and Kan
tishna districts and of gold veins in
the Kuskokwim are so encouraging
as to promise the establishment of
lode-mining on a considerable scale.
Ai ska is ohe of the great mineral
regions ol the world, and the world
will become alive to the fact again
