WHY
You Should Vote For
For Delegate From Alaska
I IN* lias lived in Alaska for
l i yenrs--ccv»«n of those years
in Juneau. None havo question
ed fir ean question his ability or
industry. If you do not tiolicve
1 hi?, write to Juneau.
2 In the pursuit of his profes
sion he has heen called to nearly
every portion of the Territory,
and he is thoroughly familiar
with Iho needs of Alaska.
3 Ho ha« no grievances to air,
no axe to grind, and is frse to
:*orve Alaska, unswayed by per
5onal likes or dislikes.
1 He is not connected, in any
way, with corporations or other
persons seeking favors from the
government. VVhilo ho has ever
been the friend and attorney of
the laborer and tho poor man, yet
ho is no blatant demagogue,
seeking »to array class against
class. He bolieves in "Equal
rights for all, and special priv
ileges for none."
[5 Ho is in political harmony
with tho dominant party in the
presont Houso of Representa
tive", and with what will be the
dominant party of the nation for
tho next four yoars, and so, will
be bolter able to got things for
Alaska than would a socialist or
a repudlican (bo ho a standpat
ter or an independent republi
can.) What Alaska wants, it
wants now. We oannot wait for
the socialist millenium.
NEW TIN STRIKE
AT HOT SPRINGS
( Continued from page 1)
jeet, fhe mining man went lo the
Hot Springs camp in March of the
present year and proceeded to
trafee I he lead to the south west.
To do this he first crosscut il
in two places and then, getting
the strike from the two crosscuts,
set up his transit and ran lines
across the divide between Toff.y
and Idaho.
At different points between Tof
ty and* Idaho, Mr. Robinson put
down holes through the muck on
to the outcropping** and he found,
as he had expected, that it was
much richer at this point than
over toward Sullivan. In fact.,
some of the ore from the out
eroppings shows deposits of cas
sia-rite crystals that are visible
to Ihr naked eye.
Despite the sloughing muck,
which would fill a hole over night
Robinson has crosscut the ledge
in four places, and as a result of
his cuttings, lie has determined
thai the average width of the tin
ledge is 12 feel.
The ledge of tin ore tins ac
Iunity been traced by Huhinson
a distance of 3,?00 feel, while
I lie dike with which il is asso
ciated lias been I raced in,nun
