THE DAILY ALASKAN
SKAGWAY ALASKA
Washington, Jail. 5—Secretary
of Interior Lane in his annual re
por* speaks of the necessity of a
n<»w fee* of mining laws for Alaska.
He says:
"The old code is so elaborate and
complicated that the best brains
can not tell what the law is. Tho
truth seems to be 'hat between min
1kg o»?ineers aud mining lawyers
the rules of the game have been
refined Into obscurity. And if con
gress were to say to the president
♦hai he might select three men fam
iliar with, mining laws and mine.vs'
difficul'lea to suggest a new mining
cede to congress, it would, I be
lieve be giving In earnest a new
freedom to the mining Industry.
"Teen, too, there 13 trie mu.ii.ur
or the further development of Alas
ka. That land la a long way off.
It would bo too hazardous a tiling
to surrender these resources to lo
cal control or disposal, for these
who hare lived In any new country
know how graaf the temptation la
fo grant away water front and pow
er s'tes. forests and other excep
tional resources to those who come
offering largo susius for quick im
prcy»ment, Yet this should not
drive us into a policy that niui-cj
s'ow administration a necessity.
Th* coafusion in administrative ac
tion la Alaska Is well known. 1
hare tried to give it curroncy that
i* mlrflit hasten the establishment
of goaia method of coordinated con
trol c-f Alaskan affairs, primarily
in hands of a resident comnii
sion, but always in touch With and
resi>ousivo to the wish of congress
and the president through one
of "t departments. That land iias
a mysterious charm, a pull which
affects all who see it, and those,
too, who only know indirectly of
its largeness, its grandeur and its
economic possibilities. Tnis could
n«t be better illustrated than by
the number of applications for
places which were received by the
Alasnan engineering commission.
Wh»n that body left for Alaska in
the spring the number was over 3S,
00C, aud most of those who ap
plied were not out of work but al
ready held positions with railroads,
in cauks, on farms, or lu some c.'ty
8hr>o. They wished a taste of the
large life of this new land. There
are many more of the samo desire,
some of whom will make Alaska,
richer by their presence and find
happines in searching out the land.
And strongly would I urge that the
standpoint of the government should
contlui'e one of sympathetic co-op
erai on."
SMALL, QUIET STAMPEDE
18 ON TO LEWIS KIVEK
While reports are fragmentary
and not altogether in harmony, it
is a fact, nevertheless, that there
is a quiet stampede, raiher small
in proportion, to the Low is river
section, led there by rumors o! the
location of what is termtd a "white
channel," which is reputed to be tho
source of the gold found iu Lewis
river. This 6o-called white chan
nel, according to the Pioneer's in
formant, is believed to cross near
the headwaters of Lewis river ami
the Beluga river, and the theory is
th;t* it is the ancient river bed
that is the fountain head of tho
gold found In the rivers which
crosscut it
The Pioneer's informant says the
gold found in Lewis river is coarse,
as a rule, and he points out that
this is at least strong circumstan
tial evidence that it has its sourcJ
in an old channel, rather than in
quarts 6tringers in the immediate
vicinity of the rivers
Last week a half dozen stamped
ers /departed for the scene, to in
vestigate the matter. Because of the
meagre reports of a subsantial na
ture,. there is nothing to get ox
cited about, but it Is hoped that tho
white channel theory is the cor
rect one, for it would mean a
thriving mining camp on that side
of tho inlet.
Klondikere will recall that it is
f. wh'te channel that was the source
■>f the rich placers of tho famous
Dawson camp, hence whito chan
nels. are immensely popular, from a
mining standpoint They are called
white channels because of the pre
dominance of white quartz.
There is a small movement up
Ship creek, led there by reputed
placer discoveries, but this report
is likewise very rague and indefin
ite.—Cook Inlet Pioneer.
