The Miner goes out to its readers
today printed from its own home in
Douglas. The plant arrived on the Al
ki and is now in full operation, ready to
serv e its many patrons in any way pos
sible. We have worked under many dis
advantages since starting this journal,
and the paper has not come up to the
standard we had hoped for before this,
but, as said before, we ate on our own j
stamping grounds, and are not in any I
way handicapped. There are no
“strings” on The Miner, therefore it
will give the news as it comes regardless
of whom it pleases or hurts. It will
always be found in the front rauk aiding
in the upbuilding of Douglas. Every
thing of interest pertaining to Alaska
will be found in the columns of The
Miner. special correspondents from
different sections of the country will
keep you posted on the mining situation

news from the interior will be carefully
given.
