I Bryan-Wilson's Cabinet
*
< ?
< ?
<? WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.?It Ib said
* here that William J. Bryan would
* not accept the State portfolio unless
_ President-elect Wilson should make j
It clear In his inaugural address that
? one term In the White House is all
i ? he would expect or could ask for un
\ | der the pledgo of the Democratic
J | platform adopted at Baltimore. The
? Baltimore platform says:
? We favor a single Presidential
I term, and to that end we urge the
* adoption of an amendment to the
? Constitution making the President
\ of the United States ineligible for
? re-election, and we pledge the can
? didate of the convention to this
L principle.
Democrats of Congress believe that
* if Mr. Wilson is silent in his inaugu
- ray address on this Important subject
_ the public will consider him a candi
date to succeed himself.
If Mr. Wilson declares that he in
terprets the single-term plank of the
platform to apply to him, and that
he will not be a candidate to succeed
. himself, there will be no reason why
Mr. Bryan should not accept a Cab-|
inet place.
It is an open secret that Mr. Bryan
thinks that plank means one term
for Wilson and that Bryan's enthus
iastic friends expect to support Bry
an for the Democratic nomination.
Democrats who have been to New
Jersey to see Mr. Wilson do not think
that he considers the single-term
pledge binding upon him.
William G. McAdoo of New York is'
calling on friends in Congress. He
has seen a number of Democratic Sen-!1
| ators. He has said wherever he has
been that he is not a candidate for I
. a Cabinet place and does not want one, |
but the impression left after his vis- i
its is that he would not turn down |
an offer of a portfolio. 11
Just after the election it was re- i
ported in Washington that Mr. Mc- :
Adoo and William P. McCombs had
quarreled and were no longer friends. <
This story is generally believed here t
now, and it is not thought that Mr. j
McAdoo will be offered a Cabinet ,
job. s
I
President Taft while willing to sub-1:
mit to arbitration the questions at i
issue between Great Britain and the i
i
United States over Panama Canal
tolls, but he does not favor arbitra
tion by The Hague Tribunal. That
this Is the correct statement of his
position became known here last night
upon his return from New York.
Although ho has not yet given the
matter of a tribunal much thought,
tho President probably would prefer
a special board of arbitration com
posed of an equal number of citizens
of the United States and Great Brit
ain. Such was to be the composition
of the arbitral court he proposed to
settle any vital question arising be
tween nations when he spoke on be
half of the arbitration treaties.
The President has expressed to
friends the view that at The Hague all
Kurope would be against this nation,
and that the moral pressure on the
court would be enormous because all
Europe is interested in Panama tolls
just as much as is England. In a
court on which only Great Britain
and the United States were repre
sented, it is argued, there would be
a much greater chance for a fair de-l
cision.
Several Democratic Senators have
voiced the opinion that a special tri-1
bunal be created to arbitrate this dis
pute.
In the near future Senator Clarke
of Arkansas will introduce a bill for
the expiration of the terms of post-1
masters of the first, second and third
class upon some particular day oft
the year. July 1 may be fixed. The
bill may include District Attorneys,
Collectors and Marshals.
The suggestion does not meet with I
favor from some Democrats, on the
ground that it looks like a scheme to
?rab the patronage prematurely. The I
plan seems to have originated with
Mr. Clarke. It has not been laid be-l
fore any committee or presented to
i caucus of Democratic Senators.
In formulating his suggestion, Mr.
Clarke, it is said, did not have in I
nind the incoming administration of
President Wilson, but believed it ad
? isablo that some specific time be as
ligned for the termination of official
jositions. It is improbable that such
i measure could be passed at this
lession and its fate at the extraordi
nary session Is problematical.
! Lode Mining in Other
Districts of Territory
Lode Mining in Other Districts.
The influx of prospectors into the,
Innoko-Iditarod region during the last J
two years has stimulated the search j
for lode deposits, but little has yet
been accomplished in actual develop
ment. In 1912 an auriferous quartz
deposit was opened on Gaines creek,
and a small mill was installed. This
operation has been successful and is
an indication of the possibilities of
lode mining. More important is the
fact that many other metalliferous
veins have ben found and that the ge
ologic conditions are favorable to
their occurrence in considerable areas
of the Innoko basin and adjacent por
tions of the Kuskokwim basin.
The Apollo mine, on Unga island,
continued in 1912 to be the only pro
ductive lode mine in southwestern
Alaska. Some work was continued on
lode prospects in the Iliamna region,
notably on the Duryea silver lead de
posit.
There was but little advance in
quartz mining during 1912 in Seward
peninsula. Some prospecting was
done, as well as assessment work on j
a large number of claims. The New
Era Mining Co., opened a quartz lead
near Snow Gulch, where a 4-stamp
mill has been installed. Considerable
ore was also treated at the Nome cus
tom mill. Plans have also been made
to install a stamp on a property lo
cated near Bluff, 60 miles east
Nome.
Copper Mining.
The Increased copper production of
1912, compared with 1911, is to cred
ited to the Chitina and Prince William
Sound districts. The rise in the price
of copper led to much prospecting
and dead-work in these as well as In
other districts.
The Jumbo and Rush & Brown
mines were the only considerable
shippers of copper ore in the Ketchi
" kan district. It appears that the
Mount Andrew mine was idle for most
of the year, but plans have been for
mulated for systematic development.
Developments were continued on the
It, the Red Wing, the Vittory, and the
Lhote & Sanford properties, and steps
were taken looking to the reopening
of the Copper Mountain mine. Some
work was also done on a copper-bear
ing vein at Sumdum, in the Juneau
district.
The Kennecott-Bonanza mine is the
only one in the Kotsina-Chitina die
trict from which shipments were made
in 1912, but a large amount of devel
opment work wub done on other prop
erties. The concentrator installed in
1911 at the Bonanza mine was operat
ed during 1912. At the west end of
the field work was continued on the
Mother Lode, Nikolai, and Westover
properties and also on a property lo
cated on an island in the Kennecott
Glacier. Prospecting and developing
were especially active in the vicinity
of Kuskulana river. Here the largest
operations were thoso of the Great
Northern Development Company,
which completed about 5,000 feet of
development work. The Alaska Con
solidated Copper Company carried on
development work on Nugget creek
and on the Rarus group of claims. The
Alaska United Copper Exploration
Company continued work on the large
number of claims located on Pc:cu
plne creek. In addition to the above,
a large number of claims were being
opened in the Kuskulana region dur
j ing tho summer of 1912. This field
is now readily accessible from the rail
way, and a branch has been surveyed
which would permit the shipment of
ore.
On Prince William Sound shipments
were made by tho Ellamar Mining
Company, the Threeman Mining Com
pany, the Landlocked Bay Copper Min
ing Company, and the Beatson Cop
per Company, located on Latouche isl
and. In addition to productive prop
erties, there were a large number of
claims on which development work
was carried on, some of which give
promise of soon reaching a shipping
stage. A notable advance was that
made on the Soloman Gulch proper
ty, near Valdez, where a force of men
was engaged during the year in open
ing a chalco pyrite ore body.
But little advance was made in cop
per prospecting in those Inlar.d dis
tricts which are far from transporta
tion. About 25 men are said to be
carrying on prospecting and assess
ment work in the White river region,
and there are also some in the Na
besna district. Prospectors report
the finding of copper ore on Sheep
Mountain, in the Matanuska valley.
Some copper ore has also ben found
on a tributary of the McLaren river,
in the headwater region of the Susit
na. A little development work was
also continued on the copper pros
pects of the Iliamna region, in South
western Alaska.
