BOSTON MAN LIKES JUNEAU OUTLOOK According to the confidential ad viser of many investors in large min ing transactions, a well known min ing expert, now aboard the Mariposa enroute to the Westward, Juneau holds the center of the stage at the present moment. This is especially true of j investors in Boston and New York. This gentleman, a resident of Bos ton, who for very good reasons does not want his name mentioned says that this immediate section is looked upon as the most favored spot for mining investments at the present time and that the coming summer will probably witness the careful investi gation of the country by representa tives of large capital. mi- _ l x ? .1 J?, J^? *?o ? Ir\r\ aOATTlQ lilt1 incoming uuiiniiisviuuuu | to have Inspired the people who in vest In mining properties with great er confidence and therefore money is already easier for legitimate mining enterprises. There seems to be an almost univer sal belief that the new administration is to establish a different public land policy?to do away with the regula tions that retard progress and stran gle industry. There is a well defined idea prevalent throughout the East that the new administration will can cel the coal reservations in Alaska and allow the entry and development to proceed as it has in other territories with perhaps a more watchful eye that fraud may not be committed. "Alaska," said the mining man, "never had a more hopeful outlook than at the present time. It Is good to look forward?to try and realize that in a few more weeks the bars will be taken down and the country made free." H. C. Vaughan, of the engineering corps of the Alaska Gastineau Com pany, came in from Sheep creek today, "bearded like the pard." Mr. Vaugh an goes to Salmon creek tomorrow.
