Kvery Alaskan is interested in the j
next governor. We do not yet know j
who he is to be. Many believe
Wickersham will set it, tew have
any hope3 for Hazelet. we hear the
name of Lester Jones in connection
with the office. President Boynes.
of the Chamber of Commerce of Se
attle says. President Harding told
him it would be Colonel Forbes. Al
askan hopos were centered upon an
Alaskan. We believe we are enti
tled to and by ri.^h'3 should have
Alaskan appointed to the office.
It is no; i:::rrobahle that Seattle
would prefer—moa' naturally—a
resident of the Sotm-l ci'y. If we
are to have .--i oitsidcr Alaskans
would nref'*r a Washing; on man to
an Easter.i «>r Sum: er.i man. But
the issue has been settled sim
ply by the v.jiJ ( ' Presidec; Boynes,
of the Ch ur.bcr of Cominei ce, of Se
attle. When .''resident Harding
speaks the word we will v.-?pr It as
final, until then wo have hopes that
he will select an Alaskan and par
ticularly the man who has proba
bly would appeal to more Alaskans
than any other and would make Al
aska a splendid governor—James
Wickersham.

The Territorial Fish commission
has a marvelously kind feeling to
ward the bis eannervmen who oper
ate in Alaska. They not only want
to make it easy in every possible
way with reference to future taxes
but they don't wish to be hard task
masters in reference to the indebted
ness owing for the last year. Of
course the Territory needs the money
but why em harass the ^reat bene
factors who so kindly relieve our
streams of all the fi.io fish that in
terfere with navigation and prevent
our steamers from tying tin at the
docks. And if the Legislature will
kindly follow the su><e-.tio i of the
Commission last year's :ax need not
lie lequ.dated until .u>\: September.
As vet the Commissio i has not
found time to examine into the con
dition of the mining companies and
others .vho are compelled to pay
tribute to the lerrito.-j. And some
of them are even more in need of
consideration, hut this particular
fish commission has dealt so long
with suckers that they can realize
no other necessity, other than that
with a bait lo it.—Daily Capital.
PRESIDENTIAL FACTS
I Warren (I. Harding. president of
the United States, is the first presi
dent to be elected to that high office
011 his birthday. He was 55 years
old November 2. 1920. He is the
first l". S. senator elected to the
presidency.
President Harding is the seventh
president contributed to the country
by the state of Ohio. Only Virginia
with a total of eight presidents horn
within her borders, outranks Ohio
in this regard. No president has
j been born west of Oho. No presi
dent has resided west of Illinois.
President Harding is the seventh
president of the Scotch-Irish patern
al ancestry. Fifteen of our presi
dents. over the period of 12.! years.
I have been of Hnglish decent, three
of Scotch, one of Welsh and two of
Dutch.
The average age of our presidents
at the inauguration is 54 yours, ap
, proximately, while the approximate
average at death h:is bo*n AS years.
President Harding exemplifies the
rapid rise possible In American life
better than any of the predecessors.
He was not included in the iyi4-l.">
"Who's Who."
I.ike many of his predecessors al
so. his parents were not wealthy and
hp has risen to the highest office
within the gift of the American peo
ple through frugality, industry end
thrift, of which he is a warm expo
nent. as evidenced by his rerent ap
proval of the <;iv Miieiii's Thrift
and Savings work, represented in
the sales of Thrift. Treasury and
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates.

N'o one is anxious to hear that
Siren sound when its sound means
a tire. Quite a bit of money has
been pat into the New Fire call and
it might serve a very useful pur
pose aside from this use. The old
bell is used in the evening for a
curfew, and not a mother in town
but would be disappointed in not
hearing that curfew ring. They al
low privileges to their children by
its toning. The children understand
they are to be in or about their
homes when it tolls. All admit that
it is an excellent institution.
Could not the idea be carried just
a bit farther and help to the same
degree and in the same line. To give
one blast of the siren at Noon, and
one blast at 5:30. Most towns have
factories and by their whistles men
set their watches, children under
stand when it is time to scamper
for lunch or dinner. Our Shops are
at the far end of town, and in sum
mer with a South wind blowing the
four o'clock whistle cannot be heard
down town. The siren or the bell
could he heard and would thus af
ford a much needed reminder for
the boys and girls as well as the
older ones. This could possibly be
doue from the telephone exchange
without much cost or labor and we
believe would be nvuch appreciated,
by everybody in town.

REDUCING SURPLUS.
That i;»l oily lows a fat niau Is a
sayir.4 approved of tradition. There
fore, when recently, as tlie roull of an
exhaustive survey, it was scientifically
determined that every ninth man in
Chicago iv far too fat for comfort ami
health, presumption was that there
would speedily he organized a fat
man's reduction club in the Wlndv
city. Hut in<u-ud we have the experi
ment of a Oil days' dieting and exer
cise reduction test for Chicago wom
en. The explanation is that there are
really more heavyweight women than
men in Chicago, hut gallantry forbade
making that a feature of the survey,
says Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Ore in Wall of
Mine Near Hollis
K»ck Shown to Hold Commercial
Ore Running S8.00 in Gold;
Vein I'rovfii by Holes Drill
ed livery Ten Feel.
"New ore uncovered in the bang
ing wall, shows that the vein is six
to ten feet wider than when first
uncovered." said SI. M.Reese today
who is manager of the Kasaan Gold
company's mine near Hollis. "There
is now twenty feet of ore in sight."
"The hanging wall ore was proven
by holes drilled every ten feet, and
shows it to hold commercial ore val
ued at about $S.OO per ton in gold,
hut by running the ore through the
mill, the feed samples proves it to
be butter than $12. It seems to have
courser gold than the ore in the
vein proper. Furthermore a con
siderable amount of the gold passes
over the amalgamated plates 011 to
the concentrating tables. This flaky
gold can be readily seen to flow
over with the concentrates.
"On the upper side of this gold is
a streak of sieel gray ore. heavier
than gold. We do not know exactly
what this new metal is and will not
know until we get returns from the
assayer. I! appears to be platinum
or one of the more precious metals.
The concentrates run at the present
time from *120 to $40S per ton.
"Inasmuch as we do not have
time to figure exactly what is made
per ton. 1 cannot state how much
bullion and concentrates is recovered
in the mill. The mill works very
satisfactory and grinds on the basis
of 50 tons to eighty mesh.
"We are waiting for a motor to
come up from the south, which will
drive the pump and relieve the com
pressor eight hours per day. and it
will allow us to run the mill six
teen hours. The mill is equipped
with a 30-horse power boiler and a
2"chorse power engine, the new mo
tor will enable us to run. the full
twenty-four hours a day.
"It is hard to state how much ore
we have in the mine, so far we
have found is in the vein proper to
be ten feet in width and over 350
feet in lenglli. There is still ore
in both places in addition to this
ore. we find that the ore extends to
the contact rock. Over ten feet
has been proven by two raises and
drill holes every ten feet along the
roof of the third level and the roof
of the second level, so it is hard to
estimate the amount of ore the mine
is capable of producing, although all
indications show that this continues
all the way to the surface, which
is 350 feel above the level.
"The extension of one on the sec
ond level has proven to extend 450
feet north of the shaft and on the
third level 300 feet south of shaft,
or a continuation of over 700 feet.
"In regard to the power we have
at the present time, over 9,000 cubic
feet of water per minute flowing
through the flume. This amount
should generate 3G0 horsepower. The I
present wheels have been in opera
tion for the past fifteen years, and
naturally they are not large enough
to utilize the amount of water that
is flowing through the flume. At
present we generate a little better
than 125 horse power.
"We have at the mine up to date,
over ten tons of concentrates ready
for shipment and considerable bul
lion.
"It will take between sixteen and
eighteen men to keep the mill grind
ing fifty tons per day, while six
men in the mine will be able to
get out the fifty tons of ore," con
cluded Mr. Reese.
"I can't always ask' at I want
but I let you know when I get
what I want."
