KIHTOK I A I,.
We print in another column a
communication irom Gov. Brady.
The objects of the assaci itio i there
in set forth are most commendable.
i
Nj memorial, meas ired in dollars
and cents, that the Americ m pe pie ;
could erect would do justice to the j
sterling personality an l political in- j
i
tegrity of one of the greatest states
men of modern times—our martyr
ed president, William McKinley.
It is to be hoped that the citizens of
Alaska will more than justify the
governors expectations of them.
Every winter brings more forci
bly before the miners of this dis
trict, the necessity of proper mach
inery for the successful working of i
our placer deposits. Ground that!
at present is lying idle and unpro
ductive would do a great deal to I
increase our yearly output, if the
necessary machinery needed to'
work it couid be procured. There
!
is no camp in Alaska today that j
offers a better field to the investor
than Rampart; $10,000 placed ini
pumps, hoists, and machinery and j
the plant put on either Slate, Him-:
ter, or Hoosier would pay 100 per
cent on the on day the first winter.
Spring is fast approaching and it
v ill not be many more months be*!
tore the Yukon breaks its lev fetters i
and we are once again in touch \
. I
with civilization. i

The Forum has suceeded in pro
curing a small quantity of white
book-paper, and is now ahead ot
all competitors in dress as it aovays
is in matter. :

J. Connors, who left town last
week, ostensibly on a prospective
staking trip to Tripple creek with
Charley Brown an Indian, is now on
his way to Nome alone, thinking
the marshal is iiot on his trail. He
confessed to Brown at Bear creek
that he had broken into a number j
t
of cabins at Rampart and had stolen
and sold the contents, and that the,
marshal was probably after them i
Brown immediately parted company
with the seif-confessed thief and is ;

now at Bear creek. Conners broke
into Hensley’s cabin at the lower:
end of town and stole the entire
