NOTICE OF FORFEITURE.
To John La Montagne and J. A.
Reilley, your heirs, executors,
successors or assigns:
You and each of you are hereby
notified that I have expended the
sum of one hundred dollars in labor
and improvements, each year for the
years 1915 and 1916 on the follow
ing placer mining claims, to wit:
the Annie claim situated on the
second tier right limit of Sunset
creek and the Little Gem situated
on the second tier right limit of Sun
set creek, said claims being re
corded and more fully described in
the Records of the Cape Nome Min
ing and Recording precinct, in the
Second Division of the Territory of
Alaska, the Annie claim at page
165 in Vol. 114 and the Little
Gem at page 88 in Vol. 116 of said
records.
The above amount has been ex
pended under the provisions of the
law concerning annual labor upon
mining claims, being the amount re
quired to hold said claims.
And you and each of you are
further notified that if within ninety
days after the last publication of
this notice you fail to contribute
your proportion of said expenditure,
your interest in said claims will be
come the property of the under
signed your co-owner, under section

Saloon license petitions are now
being circulated for signature. On
account of the law no licenses can
be granted for a longer time than
December 31, 1917 and no lic.uor.
under a law also passed by the
last session of Congress can oe
imported into Alaska after the first
day of July 1917. Saloon inen say
they have almost booze ‘enough fu
last them until next year as business
has not been excessively brisk. What
action the Dryi? may take in the
matter of asking for an election as
to the license question is not defi
nitely known, although some time
ago a prominent leader of the move
ment informed this paper that the
drys would apply for an election to
test whether the community wants
any extension of the license 'grant
ed by the court. In this connection
it may be stated that a saloon man
is authority himself ror the state
ment that no matter how soon the
city goes dry he is ready to start
up in the soft drink business and
to continue to operate his resort as
such.

There is considerable activity in
municipal politics at the present
time and several are literally super
active. Many prominent men have
admitted to Worker representatives
that they were approached by dope
mixers and certain candidates men
tioned whom it was desired should
be approved. This includes a candi
date for minor and some council
men. The very latest notion is to
induce the three hold-over council
men to withdraw so that six new
eouneilmen may he elected and an
entirely new slate made up which
would sweep clean. The possibility
that this can be brought about is
said to be much more plausible
than a person might think, although
the Worker is ready to confess
doubts as to such political altruism
and even to hesitate to believe that
it would be wholly the best thing
that could happen. The preposition
now calls for a meeting on next Sa
turday night a peculiarly inappro
priate occasion for being the seven
teenth of March. the Knights ot
Robert Emmet will hold their an
nual ball, and it is not likely to be;
approved by them as indeed why i
should it’ However these are all j
understood to be tentative plans and !
the best laid schemes have many a !
time and oft fallen through before!
the election was pulled off. The ac
tivity in political circles at the pre
I sent time is however indication
that matters are interesting many
who heretofore have taken but little
hand in such affairs, and that the
coming election will be a strenuous
one may safely be inferred from
the signs ot the time.
Safety first. You miners coming j
in from the creeks look tip the ad
vertisers in your paper before dis
posing of your patronage.
