ACTION BROUGHT
CLIFT MINE
—
A suit that Involves title to the fa
mous Cliff mine has been filed In the
district court, wherein Geo. C. Treat,
Edmund Smith and Logan Archibald
ask for a judgment against H. E. El
lis giving them twenty per cent of
the mine, mining machinery and all
the Improvements now on the ground.
From the complaint it appears that
the plaintiffs advanced the sum of
$500 to Ellis with which to make a
test shipment to the Tacoma smelter
of five tons of ore taken from the
claims, it being agreed that in consid
eration thereof that the plaintiffs
should have twenty per cent of the
property.
As a result of this test shipment,
the complaint further alleges that B.
F. Mlllnrd was Induced to form a com
liany which was known as tne Cliff
Gold Mining Company to work the
property. In the lease that was exe
cuted giving Millard the right to
work the ground it was stipulated
that the defendants. Treat and Smith
receive twenty per cent of all royal
ties from the output of the mine.
Smith afterwards transferred one
fifth of his interest to Logan Archi
bald, and the complaint asks that
Treat be declared n one-tenth owner
and Smith and Archibald a one-tweik
tieth owner each.
The suit is the result of the plain
tiffs asking the defendant Ellis to
deed the interest claimed, and his re
fusal to do so. There is much valu
able machinery on the property, and
it is believed by experts who have
examined the property that there is
much high grade ore that can be tak
en from the lower levels. This will
involve the expenditure of consider
able money, which will not be Invest
ed until the title is settled.
STEAMER ALLIANCE
FOR KUSKOKWIM
The steamer Alliance, one of the
boats secured by the Alaska Commer
cial company for operation in Alaska,
will leave Seattle May 20 for the Kus
kokwlm, and will use the new channel
discovered by the Geodetic Survey last
summer. The boat will take a capac
ity load of freight and many passen
gers. No insurance will be carried
on the boat after she enters the river
delta, because of the fear of the under
writers that the vessel may be wreck
ed in the uncharted waters or caught
on a sand bar in the river.
The steamer will go to Bethel,
where the river steamers will take
the supplies tip the river to the dif
ferent trading posts established on the
river hanks

MORE STEAMERS FOR
SOUTHWESTERN ALASKA
It is reported that the Pacific Coast
Steamship company, now operating
in Southeastern Alaska and also
from Seattle to San Francisco, will
extend their service to Southwestern
Alaska starting about the middle of
next month. The investigation made
by the officials of the company has
led them to expect a constant travel
this year into the Cook Inlet country
and also heavy freight shipments.
It is also expected that a number
of tramp freighters will cut into the
business as soon as the railroad ship
ments are gathered and the commis
sion Is ready to handle any amount
of freight at Anchorage.
THREE BEARS IN ~
SMALL GLASS JAR
That three bears can be confined in
a small glass Jar Is now proven In
Seward by a visit to George Sexton
who keeps the Jar in his hotel offle.
The animals are dead but have been
preserved by the work of Mrs. Forgy,
the school principal.
These little animals were found on
the day of their birth by Charles
Wagner at the drainage of Tustumena
or Kasilof lake. While Mr. Wagner
was engaged in hunting he saw the old
bear in shooting her. Going Into
the den he found the three young ones
hut as they had Just been born they
had to be destroyed. Each Is about
seven inches long or the size of an
amiii rat. ine remantaDie fact
about this catch is that it proves the
time when the bear cubs are born.
The season for the birth of bears has
always been a mystery, it is said.
Some doubted whether they were born
while the mother was hibernating but
the signs that the three youths in
question were born on the day they
were caught, which was January 25
last are unquestionable. When the
mother bear came out on that day she
returned to her den before being killed
and would probably have continued
her winter’s sleep had she not been
sent to sleep "for good.” As she re
entered the cave she covered the en-1
trance with grass, etc. and made every
preparation to forget iu slumber the
fact that she become a mother of trip
lets.

Kill tor Sunday Times:
In your issue of April 24 there ap
pears In the editorial columns a re
port from the Seward Oateway which
will not stand a little reflection.
The plea which the Oateway makes
Is for "high" wages, not excessive,
but just enough to keep them at a
"fair figure, “to compensate people for
coming north.”
To keep wages at a “fair” figure no
body will object, except possibly the
employers; certnlnly not the employ
ees. Any action in that direction Is
commendatory, even in the form of In
dustrial warfare—strikes, although
this opinion may not be shared by the
Oateway.
In the first place wages can never
be “fair." Those who speak of “fair"
wages know little of their origin.
Wages are a kind of oil that tends
to keep the whole social organization!
going. When wages are fair there j
will Ik* no wages paid. There would
not be anything gained by employing1
a person. It might be likened to a
democracy where nobody Is ruled be
cause everybody rules.
The editor hopes that our Demo
cratic government will set a good ex
ample—uphold wages. Here‘s hop
n..i • m iL _ . .

cratic government since the begin
ning of private property in the social
means of life, it has never come to
our notice. Moreover such a govern
ment would not have any use for a
wage system. The system will have
served its historical mission, and be
at an end. This fact brings to mind
one of the most unfortunate propen
sities of society, that of perpetuating
a thing Intended for a certain time
and place. This is true of all insti
tutions, religious, moral, philosophi
cal, judicial—in fact all things, thus
being a contradiction to the eternal
law which holds that every natnral
thing produces forces of its own de
struction.
The illusion that some day Alaska
will be as cheap as any place else is
almost on a par with the one which
he evidently holds in common with al
most everybody, namely, that the cost
of living determines the price of la
bor. It doesn’t, nor does the price of
labor determine the cost of living.
It is like the old question: which was
first, the chicken or the egg? which
canot be explained by deduction, rea
soning or lawyer fashion. A superior
tool of the mind must be used. Dia
lectical or revolutionary reasoning
must be employed.
It is clear that the Gateway knows
nothing of this method. Here’s hop
ing that he brushes up.
