CANADIAN OFFICIAL
SEES RICHNESS OF
STIKINE PROSPECT
That tho Sttklne River silver, lead
and copper deposits exposed by en
gineers representing J. E. Chilberg,
a Seattle banker, will become one of
the biggest mines in Alaska, is the
opinion of Q. B. Hull of Prince Ru
pert. B. C., district engineer of tho
Canadian department of public works,
who is visiting in Juneau with J. G.
Scott, a Prince Rupert merchant.
They havo Just returned from the up
per Stikine river. The Chilberg pros
pect is 135 miles from Wrangoll, in
Canadian territory.
"Surface assays shows a very high
grade of ore." Mr. Hull said this
morning. "Some of the copper show
ed a value of >60 a ton, and other
metals exposed are correspondingly
rich in value. The only question as
to the value of the deposit is Its ex
tent"
Mr. Hull and Mr. Scott will return
to Prince Rupert tomorrow, sailing
on the steamship Princess Sophia.
They havo been staying at the Now
Cain.

LONG CREEK MINERS
GO OUT ON STRIKE
? 4
FAIRBANKS. Aug. 16?The new
mining law regulating the hours that
laborers shall work Is causing much
hardship In the Ruhr district, accord
ing to Marshal L. W. Edwin, who re
turned to Fairbanks yesterday, aftor
attending court at the lower river
town.
While in Ruby, Marshal Erwin made
a trip to Long Creek and there found
all plants shut down, the miners hav
ing gone out on strike, refusing to
work eight hours for $4, while the
operators claim that they cannot af
i ford to pay more.
Several of the larger outfits have
given up the Idea of continning op
orations this year and have gone so
tar as to flood their shafts. Up to
the time that the marshal left for
Fairbanks, there was no sign of a set
tlement of the strike.
This fact makes conditions serious
at the lower river camp, for miners
and merchants:
It's no secret, the smart
men about town are all
wearing Benjamin Clothes.

L. C. SMITH BROS. CC.
ARRANGING CONTE8T8
E. S. Hewitt of tho L. C. Smith
Broa. Typewriter Company announc
ed this afternoon that It is the in
tention of the Company to establish
through the local branch a system of
co-operation with the Commercial
Department of tho high school and
that several contests will bo arrang
ed throughout the year whereby stu
dents who register in that department
may secure material aid from the L.
C. Smith Bros. Co., when the time
comes to secure employment aftor
the course has been completed.
Contests of speed and accuracy are
conductod by tho local branches in
all the larger towns of the States and
it is Mr. Hewitt's Intention to make
the contests here as popular as those
below. It is the custom in other cit
ies to co-opedate with the teachers
of commercial branches having in
view a high rate of speed and a maxi
mum degree of accuracy. The com
pany makes the achievement of these
two points by making special awards
to the student securing the highest
standing as the result of conjtests
held at stated intervals.
Although no definite plans have as
yet been arranged for the local con
tests there will in all probability bo
preliminary tests at tho end of each
month, a semi-final at the end of the
semester, and a final test at the end
of tho school year. The awards in
the preliminaries will probably be
made in points, with tho understand
ing that the winner of the highest
number of points in the final contest
shall be considered as the most prof
itable typist In the department and
that some special recognition of this
rank will be made by the company.
In Seattle recently the winner of such
a series of contests was awarded the
latest model of the L. C. Smith Bros,
typewriter.

L. E. SMOOT 18
8EC'Y. LANE'S AGENT
SEWARD, Sept. 3.? L. E. SmooL
who returned from Anchorage last ev
ening on the Alliance, is really the
agent of Secretary Franklin K. Lane
and is really here to study harbor
conditions. This Is a fact that the
Gateway discovered soon after the
departure of Mr. Smoot from Seward
to Anchorago a couple of weeks ago.
When he was here the paper had
only an inkling of the truth and Mr.
Smoot did not apparently at that
time desire the publication of the
fact. The positive information was
secured by the Gateway in communi
cating with the outside. On his way
here Mr. Smoot inspected the harbor
at Cordova, notwithstanding the has
ty statements to the contrary made
in the sister city, and ho made not
only a careful observation of harbors,
etc., there but he has done likewise
in this region and Cook Inlet It is
now a positive fact that Mr. Smoot
has been sent here by Mr. Lane for
the purpose stated.
Mr. Smoot stated today that when
be told the Gateway on his last visit
that he "came here at his own ex
pense" he told the truth, the whole
truth and nothing but the truth, but
he admits now that he came on gov
ernment business and that he paid
his own expenses merely because he
wished to be at liberty at any timo
to go back to see his father who has
been ill.?(Seward Gateway.)
