Colonel B. F. Millard writes from
Seattle, under date of September 2,
to the Valdez Prospector, as to his
failure to finance the McKinley lake
property, owned by Cordovans. Among
other things, he says:
"I left Valdez about November 1
last year, for the sole purpose of float
ing the McKinley lake property, and
stated to some of the boys that 1
would not return until I had ample
money to put the property on its feet.
"I spent the first six months and
$2,500 without results, and I want to
say that It is impossible to success
fully float a low grade gold proposi
tion and 1 very much doubt If any me
dium or high grade properties have
been successfully floated,
“Incidentally, while I was east 1
tried to consolidate the Galena bay
and Nicolai properties Into one com
pany, and after fooling away a great
deal of time and spending a lot of
money, I finally received a wire to
come to Chicago and they would pro
bably consent to my proposition. 1
therefore took Charles Slmenstead to
Chicago with me, paying all expenses
myself, and after several conferences
It was agreed that I could organize
a five million dollar corporation for
the purpose of consolidating the above
mentioned properties. Five of the
trustees signed the proposition, and
the othorB had wired they would agree
to it, and I returned home fully pre
pared to carry out my end of the deal.
All the trustees and officers of the
corporation were to be in Chicago and
Wisconsin. All I was to do was to
raise the money. On reaching home
however, I found a telegram stating
that complications had arisen and not
to go ahead until further Instructions,
and the matter rests at that point at
the present time.
“Being eager for the filthy lucre and
not having much hope in consolidating
the copper proiertles, and fully reallz
ing that It is suicidal to mine gold al
the present time, unless it is very high
grade, I turned my attention to silver
lead properties in British Columbia
and I made two trips over there to ex
amine properties; I have practlcallj
closed a deal for a property which wai
mined in early days and several mil
lion dollars worth of ore extracted;
! it Is well developed and equipped, ant
has Iteen idle since 1904; out of on<
lot of 500 tons the smolter returm
show that they netted $539,000. ant
this at prices of 51c per ounce for all
ver and 1 l-2c per pound for lead, anti
nothing for zinc at that time.
“I am organizing a million dollai
corporation, and will offer 250,000
shares at 25e per share. To the hold
ers of Granite Gold Mining stock, I
am offering to take 35 per cent of the
subscriptions for stock in the new
company, allowing 50 per shure for
Granite stock,
“Understand, I am not quitting Alas
ka, but inasmuch as it does not pay
to mine gold and I have ben unable
to consolidate the coppers, I am com
pelled to turn my attention to some
thing else; next spring, as soon as the
snow is off, we will no doubt put in
a hydro-electric plant at the Granite
mine; they have taken oil off the mar
ket so we could not run our steam
plant If we wanted to, and at the price
they charged when we closed down
we didn't want to.
"There-I* a great deal of trouble
«nd excitement down this way, owing
to the traitorous action of the pad
fists and I. W. W.’s; the local authori
ties for political reasons, or through
cowardice, have allowed the blatant
tnouthed anarchists and traitors and
misguided pacifists to preach upon the
streets until they have thoroughly dis
gusted all true American citizens, un
til the people are organizing through
out the west, farmers included, to
protect their rights and their property
and the national government Is slowly
awakening up to the fact that they
have worse enemies at home than we
have in the trenches, for their enemy
is In front and the boys can face them,
hut here they stab in the back and
hide behind a loosely constructed set
of laws.
“I wish to state that the Treadwell
Company has a man examining the
McKinley lake properties. Should they
find them satisfactory, they will take
them over; should they turn them
down, I, too, will quit them.
- “I quite often get lonesome for Alas
ka, and no place seems like home, hut
circumstances force men to forego the
pleasure of residing with you for the
present.”

A SARCASM.
I care not for you any more,
I hardly think of you;
But sometimes different things I see,
Recall your once loved form to view!
That kiddle In the garden there,
Could scarcely look like you,
Yet when he turns his back to me,
His neck reminds me, dear, of you!
A man 1 met the other night.
Brushed his hair your way—
-Another man a collar wore,
Which made me think of you all lav!
Yesterday I met a girl
Who brought again your ghost—
She wore a gown of yellow.
The shade you like the most!
In the library yesterday
1 came across a book
You told me long ago to read,
With me the tale 1 took.
Then, at a vaudeville show
1 saw a clever team,
We saw them once, together.
(Just we two, I mean!)
Every time 1 smell
The perfume vlolette,
Little thrills come over me—
Say—do you like It yet?
I sing my little songs,
And sad and absently—
Each air Is one you loved the best,
I stop—Impatiently!
But unless there's something special
To make me think of you,
You're never really in my mind—
Oh 1 do not care for you!

OTTAWA. Canada. Sept. 6. — T***
French-Canadlan Is the unsolved rid
dle of the dominions. To the British
colonist the attitude of the French
Canadian during the war has been in
explicable. The mass of the French
Canadians are opposed to conscrip
tion. So bitterly are they opposed
to It that threats of armed and organ
ized resistance have been freely made .
by street speakers in Montreal.
The Nationalist element in French- J
Canadian politics, led by Henri Bour
assa, the brilliant publicist and edl- •:
tor of Le Devoir, a Montreal dally, j:
not only oppose conscription, but ■:
frankly advocate a policy of with- :•
drawal of Canada from continued ac- •:
tlve participation In the wv as a
fighting force. They dream of a day 5
when a French republic will arise on
the shores of the St. Lawrence, within j;
whose borders the civilization and
ideals of the French-Canadlan may be
logically developed.
The French-Canadlan has had no •:
active connection with France for over :•
100 years. He points out that his as- j
soclation with the mother country ■:
then is about as close as the connec- '!
tion hot ween New Kngland and Great ;
Britain. When France broke with the
Vatican the republic shattered its last •:
live connection with the strongly (’a
thollc inhabitants of Quebec. Like- •:
wise he has no blood relationship with )
Great Britain. The call of mother- j
land, thnt brought thousands of boys ;
with British blood in their veins, ■
throlling to the recruiting stands, left j
him cold.
He is primarily a Canadian of Que- ■
bee. His interests are first with his :
province. Living Intensively he does ■
not recognize or acknowledge the pro
priety of any demand upon him for |
participation in the conflict.
"Canada,” said Bourassa, "has al
ready made a military display in men :
und money proportionately superior to j
that of any nation engaged in the
war."
"An increase in our war expense
will spell national bankruptcy and
threaten the economic life of the na
tion and eventually its independence.
Conscription means strife and dis
union in Canada. It will hurt the
cause of the allies to a greater extent
than It will help. If the United States
does as much as Canada has done in
proportion to our wealth and popula
tion, they will hava to raise an army
of 6,000,000 men.”
The French-Canadlan points out that
the British colonist is not enlisting
as a Canadian, but as a Britisher. The
French-Canadlan regards himself as
the only simon pure Canadian.
“Conscription," declared Bourassa
recently, "may mean a second Mexico 1
north of the 45th and 49th parallels.” ,
