MUCH EXPECTED OF ALASKA.
-
The fact thaJjAlaska produced nearly fifteen million dol
lars’ worth of copper ore last year lias occasioned little com
ment. In fact, says the Juneau Empire, so much is expected'
of Alaska that an increase in metal production is taken as a
matter of course. Tin* same is true ot Alaska s fisheries; they
are so prolific and extensive that an increase in the output of
a few million dollars receives only passing attention. How
ever, this goes to show tin* definite Indiet that is cuteituined by
the public that Alaska’s resources are merely in the beginning
of their development. In the matter ot copper production,
Alaska first came into notice a very few years ago. Steady
progress, however, has made in the mining of this metal. The
great Bonanza mine of the Kennecott Mines (’or|>oratinn, in
the Copper river valley, is more than fulfilling all the predic
tions that ever were made concerning the marvellous richness
of its ores. It bids fair to become one of the greatest copper
mines of the world, if it has not already attained that eminence.
And enough is known about other copper mines of the territory
to warrant the statement that Alaska, in copper production, as
well as in gold and other metals, will ultimately lead the world.
THE U. S. SUPREME COURT.
A very learned foreign writer recently said of our I nited
States supreme court: “It construes and passes upon the con
stitution; it has powers to override the president and Congress,
ami pronounce unconstitutional the legislation of the forty
eight state parliaments. It is a court of incomparable honesty,
learning and competence.’’
Is it not humiliating to an American, proud of his country,
and jealous of its honor and good name, that appointments to
membership on that august tribunal should ever be influenced
by partisan bias, or a desire to pay political debts, or to further
party or personal plans.’
What would be thought of a soldier who would tamper
-with the gates of a citadel, the defence of which had been en
trusted to him ?
Should not a man named for that place be like Caesar's
wife, above the possibility of suspicion?
England tells us in straight English that she isn’t listen
ing when we protest against her seizure ot foreign subjects on
American ships. International law seems to be altogether
against her position, but she maintains a stiff neck. 1’he situ
ation presents another panorama of crises to be smoothed out
by the United States department of stenography and type
writing.
— -:o:
The Republican territorial convention at Seward has
convened,, and the delegates, who, so to s|H*ak, have the des
tinies of the territory in their grasp, have sprung many sur
prises on the voters of Alaska. At this time .of writing it seems
from the reports.in this issue that the “steam roller” methods
hhve prevailed'.
-----—-:o:
Spring has evidently appeared to stay, and we take note
of people taking on that languid air so common at this time of
year, even the chief mail clerk of the Daily Times having spring
fever.
■---- :o:
As the Daily Times received no war news for its Thursday
morning issue, it is presumed the belligerents have transferred
their operations to Seward.
--:o:
General Pershing has about enough bases now to celebrate1
the opening of the ball season with a different kind of a game
than the one of hide and seek, with which he has been amusing
—-— :o:
They an* adding so many bureaus to tin* government at
Washington that for the sake of variety a chiffonier now and
then might be handy.
The steady plugging of the Germans at Verdun is reminis
cent of the bulldog tactics of General l\ S. Grant in the Civil
war.
-:o:
The law of compensation is always at work. For instance,
the waste of leatlu i in the high shoes is compensated for in the
abbreviated skirts.
--:o:--. >
The suffrage train has started from Washington cfty, with
the antis greasing the rails clear across the continent. *

With the neutrals in Europe it is also a case of “watchful
waiting.” £
-:o:
It is presumed that Baker will make the best possible
use of the “dough” congress gives him for the array.

Over in Europe they might, between raids, *ise their anti
aircraft guns to shoot down soaring prices.
