■'One thousand sharpshooters ca
be recruited in Alaska for service I
Mexico. It is In my judgment that
body of northerners of this size coul
whip Villa and his bandits at the!
own game—guerilla w'arfare."
This statement was mnde by Gov
ernor .1. K. A. Strong, of Alaska, i
Seattle, says the Seattle Times in
recent issue. Governor Strong, wh
has often had occasion to use th
business end of a rifle, is an carries
advocate of preparedness, and is noi
on his way to Washington, where h
will discuss with administrative offi
clals the formation of a militia com
pany in thp north. On his recommeti
dation a bill, with this end in view
has been introduced in Congress.
‘‘The class of men l have in view',
he said, “are used to hardship; the
are courageous and self reliant; the
have abundant endurance and initia
tive. They are the men who, year i
and year out. go into the wildernes
with only a rifle, a little salt, an'
a few pounds of flour, and live of
the country.
“Men of this type are the kind o
soldiers that the United States need
in the expedition in which this conn
try is now engaged. They would ac
quit themselves just as creditably a
did the Australians at Gallipoli.
“These northern prospectors am
frontiersmen are the sail of the earth
They are not, to be sure, a silk stock
inged brigade, but courage and forti
tude abide everlastingly in thei
hearts. They accept privation am
hardship as part of the day’s work
They are untiring in their energy
their endurance is boundless. Thes'
are the type of men who conquerei
the great west—the restless, deter
mined spirits who are always in th
vanguard of coming civilization.
"A call to arms would bring ther
from the hills by hundreds. Some c
them are trained soldiers, who serve
in the Philippines and Cuban cam
paigns. They can all shoot and liv
in inhospitable environments, wher
city bred men would starve to deatl
Perhaps they would not make goo
men to send Into a warfare such a
is being conducted in Europe, but i
a campaign like that in Mexico the
would be invaluable."
Governor Strong said there is
great deal of enthusiasm for the ere
ation of a national guard in Alasks
but no action towards Its formatio
can be taken until the necessary la'
has been passed by Congress. He ha
recently been in communication wit
the war department and with Jame
Wickersham, Alaskan delegate in Cor
gress, and will urge it personall
when he reaches Washington.

LAST MATANUSKA COAL CLAIM
SETTLED. I
The lust of the coal claims located I
in the Matanuska valley, before the !
withdrawal of the lands for the Chu
j gach National Forest Reserve In 1906.
and which has been under contro
versy in the land office of the govern
ment, has finally been settled, and ,
the location cleared from the re
cords.
The secretary of the interior has af
firmed the decision of the officers of
1 j the Juneau land office, rejecting the
1: application of the Matanuska Coal
1 Mining and Development Company.
* for a group of ten coal claims, cotn
r moply known as the Munley group.
These are located on the south side'
■ of the Matanuska field. The only
1 charges made against these claims
1 was the failure of the locators to open
’ and develop a coal mine on the claims
‘ prior to the withdrawal of the lands
1 ;n 1996 from the forest reserve.
! The Juneau land office found these
1 charges were substantiated by tlm
evidence, and iheir decision has be n
upheld by both the commissioner of
' the general land office and the sec
• rotary of the interior. No money was
ever paid to the government on these
applications.
