THE PRIMARY LAW
Students of political economy hailed the primary j
law as a great step in the direction of better politics.
Here in Alaska one of the early sessions of the Leg
islature passed a primary law. It was hailed as the
great cure for all political ills; it was to do away with
the evils of the old convention system.
For some reason, it has not been the success hoped
for. In the States each year sees the abandonment of
the primary by municipal corporations and even by
some of the States.
The great objection to the primary in Alaska is that
populous sections of each Division are apt to have
candidates for all offices. If the people of these larger
centers vote for the home candidates, less populous dis
tricts which may be more important from the stand
point of industries and resources, are likely to be left
without representation.
The old convention system, bad as it was, resulted
in a fair geographical distribution of the offices and fur
thermore, offered the voter a better class of candidates
in many instances, than may be found on the primary
ballot.

The Gateway:
We have read lately In all the
Alaska papers about rich gold
strikes here and there, but some
of them are not so very good. In
the first place they warn people
not to go in unless well supplied
with capital so they will be able
to come back. But the best
strike yet is the one on the Do
beny-Dolan claims, just a stone’s
throw from the Valdez Dock. This
is the second strike that Jeff Do
henv has made, but this last
strike is far richer in gold than
i the first one. All the oldtimers.
ovosoectors and business men of
Valdez claim It- is the finest and
richest rock ever seen at any
! i>lace in Alaska. It certainly gives
a man the gold fever to look at
such rock, almost pure gold.
I certainly wish you could see
; it for yourself. I am not ex
jaggerating by saying that no as
j say is necessary to demonstrate
that there is a fortune in sight.
Doheny says he has only 30 feet
to go to strike the main body
of ore, and if it shows up even
half as good as the sample just
brought in, Valdez is certainly
due for a stampede.
I have always predicted that
1930 would be a banner year not
for Valdez alone, but all over.
Let’s hope so. Anyhow, Jeff Do
heny Is certainly entitled to what
he lias found, for he lias faith
fully struggled along in hope that;
some day he would show that
Valdez is and will be the Golden
Gate of opportunity and pros
pect. By the take-off of Doheny
and Dolan they certainly like the
looks of it, for there never was
seen anything like it before in
any part of Alaska. We must all
admit that Valdez has the great
est gold range in the Third Di
vision. With such gold-bearing
rock as Doheny’s, and all the oth
er holdings, such as Jack Cook’s,
Wm. Curtz, Ethyl Mining Co.,
Ramsey Rutherford and others,'
Valdez will in a short time be as
it should and always has been—
The Golden Gate.
And if Valdez should be itself
again, it will be through Dohe
nev's and his associates efforts
and constant labor to procure
and show the people that he has
got and found what he has been
lacking for a good many years.
So look for Valdez to be going
ahead, for another stampede is
coming like she had during that
great producer, the Cliff Mine;
and as this Doheney-Dolan claim
is far richer than the Cliff, some
day the mother ledge where all

In “recognition of the good

MR. GROTH TO SPEAK
Mr. Francis Groth will be the !
special speaker at the Revival |
j meeting at the Community church ;
at 3 o'clock this evening.
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
Church services will be held on j
Tuesday evening at 7:30 o'clock,’
according to a letter from Rev. j
| Wm. R. Macnherson of Anchorage. j
! He arrives Monday evening.
1 this almost pure gold comes from,
: is going to be located.
A mother ledge is like the man
j eating shark; he has his pilot
; fish as he has no smell and can
not find his food. The pilot fish
lead him to it, and so does the 1
! mother ledge of gold distribute
small stringers and floats so as
to lead the prospector to where
she is located.
And some day this great body
of gold-bearing ore is going to be
found and right here in the gold
range on the north side of Val
dez Bay, as in any other gold
range in the Third Division. But
by the look of Doheney’s sample.
I think he is on the right track
to some big body of this beauti
ful and fabulous rich ore. Let’s
hope so anyhow.
