AN INDEPENDENT
PER
For *th2 information of those
reader.; who are apparently
unaware of the true facts, we
wish to state that neither the
Herald or any ofle concerned
in its conduct or management
is in the remotest degree con
noted with a stock brokerage
concern or with any person or
per ons directly or indirectly
dealing in mining or other
stocks. Furthermore, no one
connected with its manage
ment or operation owns a
single share in any company
or corooration which depends
upon the sale of stocks for the
financing of its operations.
One of the chief purposes of
this paper is admittedly to pro
mote mining development in
this section by all legitimate
means; but at the same time
we wi h to emphasize that its
activities in this respect a^e
in no degree concerned with
mining stocks. Information rel
ative to local mining develop
ments printed in these colums
is the closest approximation of
« the facts that can be obtained
at the time and is published
for its news value alone.

Be thankful that you live in
America and work in America.
It is much better to be a work
ins: man in the U. S. A. than
to try *j eke out an existence
in some of the countries of the
globe which offer only a life
of drudgery, little reward and
no hope. Here the average life
of a working man is 49 years.
In India it is 24. Man has com
forts here, recreation of all
kinds, and a congenial climate
in which to labor. In India the
rainy season lasts about six
months and during that period
it is almost impossible for the
natives to work. During the
other six months they can
work but & few hours each
day because of the extreme
heat .

In lode mining the Portland
Canal district is perhaps at
tracting the most attention. A
h»I? dozen proven mines will
Boon be in production and a
considerable amount of money
raised during the wintei
months will be available for
further development work on
a number of the promising
prospects of the district There
are several big consolidation
deals now pending which
should greatly hasten develop
ment of this camp. Portland
Canal is gradually but surely
passing out of the hands ot
the promoters and into the
hands of those who mine the
ground rather than the pub
lic.—The Alaska Weekly.
I Secretaries of the Interior
have an unfortunate habit of
doing and saying the “wrong
thing." There seems to be a
hoodoo attached to that partic
ular office in the cabinet—or it
may be that it is impossible to
please the varied groups with
which the office deals and that
secretaries, recognizing this,
grow careless.
Ballinger and_ Fall, whethei
for good reason or not, were
compelled to leave their of
fices under charges. Hubert
Work, who was moved from
‘he postmaster general’s of
fice to succeed Fall, got “in
bad” right away with the irri
gationists, and now he’s get
ting in bad with Alaskans.
The American Mining Con
gress reports:
“Secretary Work told the
House appropriations commit
tee that abandonment of the
Alaskan railroad would be u
great blow to the development
of that territory. Secretary
Work said it was a matter of
doubt, however, as to the min
eral resources of Alaska.”
He went on to say that Alas
ka coal can not .compete in
American markets, and threw
cold water generally on Alas
ka’s metal-mining activities.
Wouldn’t it be a good idea, i
as long as Alaska falls under
the sway of the Interior De
partment, to get and keep a
secretary of the interior, who
really knows something about
Alaska?—Mining Truth.

Ford and Rockefeller are
The richest men we know—

Every time we pick up a

“Woman’s Body Is Found.”
Cam it be that women are

men who are growing meaner?
Or, is it b.oth?
