ABOUT STAMPEDES
One of our Alaskan contemporaries says we are
crying our eyes out because we have $400 and $500 ore
at Nuka Bay and have no stampede to that camp, add
ing that if we have such ore we do not need any stam
pede as the camp will develop itself.
We can not agree with that because we do not Know
of any hard rock camp in Alaska that develops itself.
It was different in the placer camps of the Inter
ior when men could finance themselves to sink a hole
and start taking out the pay gravel using wood-fire
thawing or a tea-pot for a boiler. If the pay was good
the nearest bank would loan them enough to get a big
ger boiler and more steam points. If others struck pay
along the same or adjacent creeks, a stampede followed
and soon there was a camp.
Hard rock mining is an entirely different proposi- j
tion because there is a long period and the expenditure
of much money between a prospect and a mine. It is;
very seldom that pay ore is found at the gi ass i oots,
and if it is, the poor prospector who finds it seldom has
the money for transportation and never has the money
for a mill on the ground. He may struggle along for
years but almost invariably he must finally seek the
aid of capital.
The case of Babcock Downey, wffio last week brot
in another 30 pounds of gold, is unique in the mining
annals of Alaska. They struck rich ore on the top of the
ground and it got richer as they wrent down. They stuck
with it doggedly and after several years effoit managed
to acquire a little second-hand mill w ith w hich they
have pounded out enough to buy bigger equipment
with scarcely any backing.
And let it be said here the financial backing was
obtained from a Seward man wTho has. consistently, foi
many years, lost thousands of dollars in mine ventuies.
We hope he gets back $10,000,000.
But there are other miners in the district who are
plugging along on a shoe-tring and there is plenty o
good ground open to location, that’s w'here a stampede
would help. It would stimulate further prospecting and
would draw the attention of capital to those who have
already uncovered good showings. Good advertising
helps any business.
Complaints are made that the new currency is of
poor quality. We also find it poor in quantity.
Mrs. Malaprop up to date, according to the Altoo- j
na Tribune: “She took sick with pantomime poisoning; j
doctors diagrammed her case and gave a hypocritical
injection of a serial, but she passed into a state of
chromo.” - ^ j
As an Irishman would say, Mr. Shearer appears to
be the life of the parity.
It can not be denied that the liquor problem is
staggering. _

PULLMAN, Oct., 21, (/?)—'The
State College captured the State 1
championship conquering the Uni
versity of Washington in the great
est uphill gridiron battle ever
fought on this field. It was the first
victory for the College over the!
University in 12 years.
Schwartz, giant fullback, played
havoc with the University 11; sin
;glehanded he brought the College
j victory after the University had
rolled up two touchdowns in the
ifirst period; he scored all three
! touchdowns for the College as the
University defense crumbled under
the crushing College attack.
The College came back for three
scores after trailing the University
by 13 points and looking like a
walkaway for the University v/hich
in the end was out-classed in every
department of the game.
SEATTLE, Oct-, 21, (/P)—Four !
men were killed when a Northern j
Pacific freight train broke in
halves at the eastern end of the
Cascade tunnel and buckled to- !
gether after separating.
The men, workmen, were crush- j
ed. It is thought that there may
be more bodies under the over
turned freight cars.
