REPEALED I
I
:•£ Sumner S. Smith, m:n:ng Inspector
of Alaska, has asked Congress to re
peal the federal mining law for the
•:j: territory and to pass a new one that
will fit the needs of the local condl
!x tions. The suggestion is embodied in
inspector Smith's report to the United
States bureau of mines, which was
made public at Washington. Mr.
— Smith also asks that a mine experi
ment station be established in Alas
^ ka. and that the federal mine inspec
' 1 tor be given an appropriation for the
1 equipment and rental of an office and
■ ■ for field asistance.
• Under the present law, the federal
, , mine inspector is allowed $8,000 a
!year salary, but he is not allowed to
\ ! employ any assistants As the terri
‘ [ tor.v which he Is supposed to cover
] | embraces an area of 589,000 square
' ' miles, on most of which there is no
■’ railroad, it is obviously imposible for
• ■ him to give good service in all parts
.. of his field. If the mine inspector
!. happened to be at Ketchikan in wfn
!! ter and an acident was reported at
Nome or on the Koykuk it would be
Impossible for him to make an ex
— ■ amination to determine the cause of
? _ the accident until eight or nine
months had elapsed. The law pre
£: supposes that he will immediately in
I vestigate all mining accidents in the
i£ | territory.
;>:• I Smith reports among other things
that a number of applications to mine
v.
•i-: coal on ten acre tracts have been re
ceived, and work on them has been
started in each of the four judicial
divisions.
Among the notable developments
reported from Alaska Is the installs
:•:? tion of a new 500 ton concentrator at
the Beatson mine at Latouche, and
S the first unit of a 10,000 ton crushing
plant at Thane, several small quartz
mills and dredges and two new cyan
'/} ide plants. New discoveries of pro
>‘.t
mising placer ground are reported
~ from the Tolovana river.

'FOREST RESERVE EXTENDED
BN GOVERNMENT TRAIL
The Alaska road commission has
received a copy of the presidential
order withdrawing a tract of land one
mile wide on each side of the Valdez
Fairbanks military trail, and extend
— ing from Mile Post No. 3 out from
Valdez to Mile Post No. 12. The ex
ecutive order creates the tract as a
timber reserve for the use of the Alas
ka road commission, and as it is now
in full force and effect the people are
warned that those cutting timber
within the boundaries of the tract are
liable to prosecution.
Mile Post No. 3 is located this
side of the Crooked bridge, and wood
cutters will be required to make cer
tain that the places selected for their
activities are at least one mile back
from the road.
The timber land was withdrawn in
order to ensure a supply of timber for
the road commission in future years
and to prevent the cutting of timber
near the road, as It affords a protec
tion to the highway from the streams.
The Camp Comfort homestead is in
cluded in the tract withdrawn, but
the order will not apply, as applica
tion for patent has been filed with
the Juneau land office.

VALDEZ POET'S FAME REACHES
- BACK TO NEW YORK.
The old saying that some are born
I great, some achieve greatnes, while
others have greatness thrust upon
them, was brought forcibly home to
day, when a copy of the New York
Evening Sun came to our desk with
Joe Spenard's famous poem repro
duced from its editorial page. This
j demonstrates that Valdez has a real
poet in her midst, as Joe has demon
strated several times In our advertis
ing columns.—Valdez Prospector.

CROSSES THE !

KANSAS CITY, Jan. S. — Colonel
Robert Thompson Van Horn, former
■ liter and owner of the Kansas City
< Mo.) Journal, died in this city last
night. He was one of the best known
figures in American journalism. He
bought his paper for $500 In 1855,
going west when Kansas City was a
illngi with le ; than 500 inhabitants.
With the rapid growth of the place
the Journal became one of the flour
ishing dailies of the west. .He retired
from newspaper life in 1896, and at his
leath w-as over 91 years old.
Colonel Van Horn served the public
not only as an editor, but as a sol
dier, ns mayor of Kansas City many
ears, a member of the state legisla
Lure and for four terms as a repre
-entative of his people in Congress.
headed a Missouri regiment in the
Civil war on the Union side, which
served with distinction. Before the
war he had been a pro-slavery Demo
crat. but secession made a Union man
and a Republican of him. His paper
claimed the honor of printing the first
article announcing the discovery of
gold in California.
