JUSTICE
A strange feature of the cas?
Avhieh came before the Court
this week was. that although
there was sufficient evidence to
justify the warrant for arrest,
there was not sufficient testim
ony presented to secure a convic
tion.
There is no doubt but that
whiskey is at the bottom of the
trouble, and the business men
have firmly made up their minds
that it is time for the Bone Diy
Law to be enforced in better
fashion.
BEWARE OF STAMPEDE
PROPAGANDA
During the past week there
have been persistent rumors
circulated in the Copper River
Valley; which have been pis
sed from one to another all the
way from Paxons to Chi tin a and
Cordova to Kennecott and Nizina
that a new strike had been
made close to Chisana.
The result has been that
horses doubled in prices over
night, and a great many persons
began to be imbued with stam
pede fever.
Now, we have been making en
quirie», and interrogated some
reliable pr< spe ( tors who have
only just arrived from tha'j sec
tion, and tlmy claim there is no
reason for any stampede.
Seims to us, that this is a
good time to practice cmtion &
to know exactly what is behind
the idea before going to the
expense of pulling stakes and
starting out or a wild goose
chase.
It is not so very many years
since the last C’his .,na stampede
vhen people lost their heads, &
travelled over those ve y trails
improperly equipped and with
out sufficient’ capital to even ex
ist and be able to prospect.
That is the kind of thing which
gives cue country a black eye
quicker than anything.
There is not the slightest doubt
in our minds but that there are
gr at riel ( s to be found in the
Chisana nd surrounding dist
rict, but it cosis a lot of money
ard time u> find them, ai.d the
people who allow themselves to
be influenced by a will o’ thi
wisp sto.-y, will live to bitterly
regret it.
