Washington, Aug. 4.—“President
Taft will surely be re nominated and
it is my opinion that he will be re
elected,” said representative John
Dalzelle last evening.
Mr. Dalzelle is one of the republi
cans in Congress who thoroughly
disapproves of the President’s course
with respect to Canadian reciprocity.
He spoke against it, voted against it
and took no pains to conceal his
thoughts concerning it. But he does
not see in this any reason why he or
any other republican should not en
dorse and support President Taft's
administration as a whole, even
though they might not approve of
some specific act.
“I am sure that conditions have
improved wonderfully within the past
few weeks,” continued Mr. Dalzelle.
“and this change has been favorable
to the President’s political future.
There is no concealing the fact that
the President’s policy with respect to
reciprocity displeases a great many
republicans who believe he had aban
doned the principles of protection.
This was shown in the breaking of
party lines in the House and Senate.
But during the past few weeks these
w'ho did not approve of reciprocity
have evidenced an inclination to ac
cept the inevitable and show no re
sentment of it.
“There is a general understand
ing among the Republicans that th»
President is determined to veto any
wool bill or any other bill that may
be passed at this session of congress
and this is very satisfactory to that
element that does not want tariff
tinkering now. Taken altogether,
there is a better feeling which augure
well for Republican success and it is
my belief that President Taft will
succeed himself.”
Tony Barrett, who came down the
other day from Kotsina, reports the
development work being done in that
section this season has shown up
some excellent ore bodies and that in
the near future the mines w'ill be
numbered among the shippers.
On his own property, Mr. Barrett
states that he encountered in his tun
nel 10 feet of ore running about 15 |
per cent, but that he encountered
an intrusive dyke, through which
he is now engaged in tunneling, and j
expects to pick up the ore body again
in a short distance.
Crawford and Ammon have been
doing a large amount of work on
their properties and their tunnel is
now in a large body of ore running
from eight to 10 per cent.
E. F. Gray, of the Great Northern
Development company, has drawn the j
crew of men from his Kotsina prop-:
erty and has moved them to his
Copper Mountain mines on the Kus- j
kulana, where he has a splendid
showing.
Ixo FAVORED SEATS I
AT MASTER’S TABLE
- Ij
The Alaska Steamship company
have abolished the captain’s table on <
all of its boats, and hereafter all of •
the officers are seated together. I <
The reason for the new order of
things is to distribute the joy and
contentment equally among all. In
the past the few who had the honor
of eating at the table with the cap
tain were usually gay and exultant,
while the others who sought this
great privilege were thrown into the
depths of misery and envy. But
what's the use of talking about it '

Mining Companies and
Mineral Claim Owners
Publication of Final Proof Notices
Preparations are now making by many com
panies for the securing of patents to copper and
gold claims in that rich mining section known
as the Chitina-Kotsina-Nizina district. Publi
cation of final proof must be made in accord
ance with the requirements of the law- which
are contained in the following excerpts of in
structions issued by the General Land Office at
Washington:
A notice of intended final proof must be published
in a newspaper of established character and of general
circulation in the vicinity of the land affected thereby,
such paper having a fixed and well known place of pui>
lication.
Xo newspaper shall be deemed a qualified medium
of notice unless it shall have been continuously publish
ed during an unbroken period of six months immediate
ly preceding the publication of the notice, nor unless it
j shall have applied for and l>eeii granted the privilege of 5
transportation in and by the United States mails at the
rate provided by law for second-class matter, a privilege
available to all newspapers having a legitimate list of J
subscribers and a known place of publication. 1
The notice must in all cases be published in the news
paper which may be issued at a place nearest to the lands
which the notice affects. By the word “nearest" as here
| used it is not intended that geographical proximity shall
be measured on an air line drawn In-tween the land and
the place of publication, but by the length of the shortest
and principally traveled thoroughfare between such
places, being the highway ordinarily used and employed
for travel by vehicles of any kind.
The law invests registers with discretion in the se
lection of newspa|K-rs to Ik- the media of notice in such
cases as are here referred to.
Persons seeking to establish their right to a legal title
| to any public lands are not authorized to interfere with
the discretion of the register in the choice of a news.
j paper in which to publish notice of their claims; nor
will any designation of a newspaper made by a register,
in the reasonable exercise of that discretion, be disturbed '
on the ground that the claimant recommended another
newspaper.
Upon the receipt of the papers, if no reason appears j
for rejecting the application, the register will, at the ex- j
l pense of the claimant (who must furnish the agreement
i of tile publisher to hold applicant for patent alone respon- '
sible for charges of publication), publish a notice of such
application for the period of sixty days in a newspa|>er
published nearest to the claim, and will post a copy of
such notice in his office for the same period.
The law imposes upon registers the duty of procuring
the publication of proper final-proof notices, and charges
the claimant with no ooligation in that behalf, except
that he shall bear and pay the cost of such publication.
The Chitina Leader
fills the above requirements, and will publish i
the necessary notices at less than 50 cents per {
line, the price allowed by law to weekly news
papers, for the entire publication during sixty
days. So that there may he no delay, publish
ers’ agreement should he secured by writing to
WILL A. STEEL, HARRY G. STEEL,
Publishers of
The Chitina Leader, Chitina, Alaska
Cordova Daily Alaskan, Cordova
Or to the SEATTLE OFFICE, 551 Colman
