one of the veteran whaler captains

Yesterday the District Clerk re
ceived word that the Department
of Justice had appointed Alaska re
gistration to take place between
July 2 and September 2 so that
right now is registration time. The
long registration period allowed is
by reason of this being essentially
a land of magnificent distances and j
so far man’s inventions in the way
of transportation facilities have as
yet cut none of these distance short
in any way. The difficulties of men
in the remoter sextions registering

FOR SALE:—Fine house completely i

B. Grigsby at the Golden Gate ,

Barney O’Reilley who arrived
from Blossom on teh Eagle, tells
that up in the Shungnak and Kobuk
district generally the season is much
more advanced than here. Mr.
O’Reilly is deputy United States
Marshal of the Kobuk, precinct. He 1
reports tilings in a mining way rela
tively quiet, with some 25 men
working on Klery—not getting very
rich but all making wages cr better
for the winter’s work. But the
gardens in the Shungnak country
are worth while and the potatoes
grown there are eliciting admiration
from everyone and there is so much •
keen rivalry among the agrieultur- jg
ists that one prospector complained j j
that while the men might declare i
that each had the biggest spud. :
none wrere laying claim to having j
the biggest nugget. There have j
been no new strikes made although j
a prospector arrived <1 twit at Sluing- j
nak .iust about the break up aft r j
supplies and he reported that at j
Walker Lake at the head of the j
Kobuk he had found something j
better than prospects, lit took j
supplies back but owing to the (
break up he could not get the goods
all in to his camp. Jack Sackett
had left for Walker Lake himself
about the same time to investigate.
Another reported strike was on
lloog river where during the winter •
men had been trying their luck. A
well known prospector "Big Axel”
had come to the Kobuk and re
ported that he and bis partners had i
got good prospects in holes which
had been put down. His partners i
nearly all of them were sick, two
had been frozen and they had to
work under difficulties. Otherwise j
there was little news of interest in |
a mining way.

The following excerpts from a
letter written by Colonel Richard
son to the Valdez Miner will be read
with interest by those who have
followed the interesting fend which
has existed between the chief of the
Alaska Hoad Commission and form
er Delegate Wickersham:
“The Delegate's statement alleg
ing activity on my party against
the railroad bill is a falsehood.
Equally false is the statement of the
character of the Valdez-Fairbanks
road. No embellishment of phrase
or additional words of emphasis can
strengthen the simple statement
that he is a falsifier.
“The effusion from John E.
Ballaine reads like the babbling of
a disordered mind. This individual
is more untruthful—if such a thing
were possible—than even the Dele
gate himself. This pair of co-work
ers in the general business of de
faming decent people have done
more to injure decent people, have
more to injure Alaska than any
other agency or agencies in exist
ence in my judgment.”
I desire to go forever on record
officially both here and in Alaska, in
the expression of these sentiments.
Their publicity seems timely now in
view of the fact that former Dele
gate Wickersham, as commonly
understood here in Washington, did
everything he could during the last
winter to prevent the Hoad Commis
sion from getting any funds for its
work; and that John E. Ballaine
is now trying to get himself ap
pointed a Colonel of Volunteers in
the army and tie assigned to take
charge of the road work in Alaska,
claiming to be “well qualified" on
account of fifteen years experience
in railroad building and mining in
the Territory.”
