BIM'S CLAIM
SHOWS UP WELL
Work on Long Glacier Copper
Property Proves it to Be
Vast Deposit
Serenely confident that he has what
iH destined to be the biggest and rich
est copper property in the interior of
Alaska, John Brahan is in town from
the Kotsina. Brahan's property was
discovered by him last year and at
that time it was generally admitted
by those who saw it to he a "good
prospect;" now, however, these same
persons have no donht as to the mag
nitude of the mine, for it. is no longer
a prospoct.
Brahan's property is located on Long
Ulacier stream, a tributary of the
Kotsina and is about three miles up
the former stream. It is just across
the valley from the lluhbard and El
liott property. Brahan has found
copper for a distance of '2,000 feet and
minerali/.cd rock is abundant for
another 1,000 feet. The ore runs to
chaleopyrite, bornite and native eop
por and Brahan believes that it will
average eight per. cent straight
through. He says that it is the same
kind of formation as is found in Butte,
rhyolite running through stratified
rock and carrying gold and silver.
Brahan brought out. a quantity of
samples and is to have assays made.
He will return in the fall, and perhaps
earlier.

effect was received today by Assis
tant United States District Attorney

Fairbanks. The message states that j
Judge Keid is now in Chicago, hut
gives 110 reason for the delay in the

ADVERSE DECISION
NOT TO END FIGHT
Oyster Hay, July 21—Notwit Imla tid
ing tho appellate court decision lhat
practically sets at naught the $2}),000,
IHJO line against the Standard Oil
Company, President Roosevelt today
announced in unmistakahlc terms
that the prosecution against the cor
poration is to be continued with an- '
ceasing vigor. The president, refused
to discuss for publication the action |
of the court .
The decision in favor of the Stand- ;
ard is, in administration circles, con
sidered one of the most severe blows j
yet struck at the policy advocated by
the president. No one in authority |
has, however, ventured any public j
criticism of the decision.
ARMY AND NAVY !
TO MAKE UNO W
Chicago, July 27—Strenuous times |
may be expected in the event of the I
election to tho presidency of Kugene
W. Chafln, nominee on the prohibi
tionist ticket. Mr. Chafln's inten
tions in case of his success at the
polls, as outlined in his speeches,
provide for tho utilization of tho army
and the navy to enforce the prohibi
tion laws ho will have congress pass.
"My plan, in case of my election,"
declares Mr. Chafln, "is to have con
gress pass immediately the most
stringent prohibition law that can be
devised, this law to apply to every
state and territory over which the
United Stated has jurisdiction. The
law will provide for proper methods i
of enforcement under ordinary con
ditions but if these fail I shall, by the
power invested in me as president, j
uso the army, the navy and t he state ;
militia to bring to ft state of obedience j
tho rebellious communities."

<ham is on liis way to Nome where
lie is to lake the delegate light into
the camp of John Corson. NVieker
diam has challenged Corson to meet
him in joint debate in Nome and pur
poses forcing Corson to a joint discus
sion of every issue of tin* campaign.
Wiekeraham's trip down the creeks
was the occasion of the greatest re
ception ever accorded a candidate in
Alaska. He talked to big crowds in
every place he visited and returned
to Fairbanks Saturday bringing with
him assurances of strong support.
Sat urday night Fairbanks turned out
en masse, the occasion being a big
Wickershain ratification meeting.
Since the departure of Corson noth
ing is heard hero concerning him,
other than what is published by Ins
own paper, the News. Konan went
toJFox City Friday night and it is re
ported from there that the miners
jeered at him because of his promi
nence in trying to break up the mi
ner's union.
Wickershain has received from all
t lie Yukon river points telegrams as
suring him of sweeping majorities
from the precincts of that locality.

for a labor lien law, t hose who have
been antagonintlc to him promised
their support.
Koikiu'h evident sincoroity and hon

WORK IN CANYON 1
PROGRESSES FAST
Work on the Nelson Contract to
make a road through the rock walls
of Keystone canyon lias progressed so
far that a wagon can go nearly half
way through. The vertical wall at
the first sharp turn of the canyon
from the lower end and another just
beyond have heon blasted out. These
walls were untouched by the railroad
grading both of the Copper River &
Northwestern and the Alaska Home
Railway. Beyond them the railroad
grade was nearly complete for half a
mile and men are seattered along the
roadway ahead. Nearly 100 men are
now employed by Nelson.
When this canyon road is completed
a good trail will bo in condition for
travel summer and winter. Hereto
fore the canyon could be traversed
only while the river was frozen—
about four months of t he year, and
all travel in the summer has been
over the hill trail, a difilcult path
available only for pack horses and
footmen.
Toward the summit. Superintendent
Ingram lias sixty men employed upon
a new road whieh will out out the
switchback and Icy Point. It will be
several miles longer than the present
route hut will have an easy grad ,
and better time nan be made over it .
The entire trail to the summit will be
transformed into a road and the re
duction of grade will make freighting
far easier.
Resides the work through Keystone
canyon and up the south slope of the
summit other improvements on the
Fairbanks trail are in progress which
will be a great help to the stages and
enable them to make bettor time.
The trail between Pollard's and Pax
ton's is being improved and a road
made down the Hig Delta, two of the
worst sections of the old line.
MIKADO RATIFIES
TREAT! WITH U. S.
Washington, July 21—Tho depart
ment of state today received from
Japan notice that the emperor has
ratified the arbitration treaty be
tween that country and the' United
States. Negotiations to this effect
have been under way for some time
but it was feared that tin* recent dif
ferences concerning tho violations of
the immigration law might block
proceedings.
The ratification of the treaty will it
is believed, set. at. rest all agitation
with regard to the immediate possi
bility of war between this] country
and Japan.
MOVEMENT UNDER WAY
TO HAVE TOWN CLOCK
II. L. Htnil is starting ft movement
to bring about tho purchase of a

appreciation of hiH purpose and be
hclioves that the movement will be
successful an everyone with whom be
ban talked agreed that a lown ( lock
that will strike the hour in tones
audible in ail parts of the town will
go far to remedy the present inabil
ity to have any two watchos or clocks
point to tho same hour at tlio same
time.
Mr. HtuM'ft idea is to arrange an
entertainment and dance and then if
necessary add by public subscription
to the fund thus raised. He is deslr
otis of having all those who are will
ing to take part In an entertainment
so notify him and iit a day or so ex

Truth and QviaJity
appeal to the well informed in every walk of life and
are essential to permanent success and creditable
standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all
who would enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the
fact that it involves the question of right living with
all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what
is best each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, of con
templation and of effort may be made to contribute to
that end and the use of medicines dispensed with
generally to great advantage, but as in many instances
a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable, if
taken at the proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co.
feels that it is alike important to present truthfully the
subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy
which has won the approval of physicians and the
world-wide acceptance of the Well-informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all,
and the original method of manufacture, which is
known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably
known under the name of —Syrup of Figs — and has
attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excell
ent family laxative. As its pure laxative principles,
obtained from Senna, are well known to physicians
and the Well Informed of the wor'd to be the best we
have adopted the more elaborate name of — Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna—as more fully descriptive
of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be called
for by the shorter name of — Syrup of Figs — and to
get its beneficial effects, always note, when purchasing,
the full name of the Company-—California f*ig Syrup
Co. — printed on the front of every package, whether
you call for — Syrup of Figs—or by the full name—
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna.
