EDITORIAL.
F-rom the reports of the men who
are working on 1 ab Glen, we sug
gest to Honest Green that he had
better accept the offer of Mr. Belsea,
that he would give Green $50 for
the claim for a dumping ground
for the tailings off 2 ab.
The assassination of McKinley
has encouraged the rebel Filipinos
to again break out. Native agita
tors claim that MbKinley was kill
ed by the ‘anti-imperialists’ and if
a good resistance is made, Filipino
independence will surely follow.
A nugget weighing 97 ounces
and valued at $1562 was found on
Anvil creek on a claim belonging
to the Pioneer Mining Co. at Nome
last fall. This is the largest nug
get ever found in Alaska or north
of California.
England Is in a bad way. Her
industrial supremacy has been tak
en av\ay by the United States, her
labor market is being crowded with
cheap foreign help, and now her
boasted military prestige is being
l acked to its very foundation by a
handful of Boers. On top of all
this trouble comes the news that
King Edward issuffering from can
cer, and that his days are number
ed. Her decadence has been grad
j ual, but none the less certain.
We are glad to learn that Joe
Thowney has deuied that he ever
| said that he would buy a bunch of
! American flags and tread on them
if litigation interfered with his earn
irigs on i ab Glen. A man with no
I more love for his country than to
i - ■
| make such a remark, is not fit to
i live. We heard of this report
weeks ago, but took no stock in it.
We prefer to get our news straight,
than to add an apology column.
