NOT OPEN TO ALL
Facts as to Mining on Cape
Nome Beach.
RESERVED ROADWAY 1$ TAKEN

and Only a. Small Strip Is Free
When the Tide I Oat.
"William H. Lewis, a well-known attor
ney of Seattle, Wash., has written a
letter regarding the status of the Capj
Kome legislation at "Washington.
Mr. Lewis was formerly located in
Washington as secretary of Justice Har
lan, of the United States Supreme Court
In that capacity he was attached to the
Behiing Sea Tribunal of Arbitration, which
met at Paris in the years 1SJ2 and 1S3J
Eince that date he ban been located at Se
attle, and has interested himself quite
largely In Alaska matters. He was th
author of a comprehensive review of tho
'Alaskan boundary dispute, which was pub
lished In the Review of Reviews last
.Summer, and has recently been making a
study of Cape Nome affairs. He writes
as follows:
The Alaska mining man who has relied
on assurances that he would be allowed
the privilege of free mining on the Cap
iue t)i.ii during the coming Summer
seems doomed to sore disappointment, and
this is not entirely because he has been
willfully misled, but also because of a
failure to recognize the difference In mean
ing between certain common expross'ons.
The impression that the term "beach"
meant the fame as "tldclands" or "land
below the line of ordinary high tide" has
been responsible for much of the confu
sion. Another cause of the widespread
misunderstanding has been the positive
statements of men who thought they un
derstood the whole subject, but who were
relying upon a superficial knowledge of
tho facts, and no knowledge of the law.
It has taken set oral weeks of careful
investigation for me to assure myself what
Is the situation with regard to Cape Kome
beaches, and while the result is not al
together satisfactory there is some satir.
faction In knowing what are fancies and
what aro facts.
For Instance. In the Logan case, the In
terior Department decided. January 3,
1300: "It is perfectly clear that the mining
locations in question, so far as It Is at
tempted by them to embrace lands below
the line of ordinary high tide, are without
authority of law and therefore void, and
the Land Department Is without authority
to grant any concessions whatever with
referenco to the desired occupancy or
working of said tldelands for mining pur
poses or otherwise."
Now this decision Is a reasonable one,
and was accepted everywhere as strict
ly In accordance with law. It was re
ceived with Joy by the men who wished
to take gold from the Nome beaches th
coming Summer with rockers, as they did
last year. The entire diggings were
worked then by the miners under their
own regulations, and honesty and fair
play prevailed. The general understand
ing of this declflon was that It made It
Impossible to secure title to any portion
of the beach at Cape Nome. In that
event It must be held to be open ground
for all miners to work, as last jear. Act
ing upon this supposition, active steps
were taken and a representative sent to
Washington to secure legislation that
would permit the miners to reru ate min
ing upon the beach.
Accompanjing the report of the decision
were reports that the Land Office had de
cided that the line of ordinary high t.de
would be constructed by the Department
In All cases as being the upper lino of the
beach; that Is to say, at the line of tun
flra or vegetation. I was told by several
well-informed men that this decision had
been made, and went to the Land Office
to get confirmation of the report. But
there I was told point blank that no such
decision had been made: that. In fact,
such a decision never could be made by
the Department: that the line of ordinary
high tide could not be fixed or changed by
the Land Office or any other Dtpartment
In Washington; that the Lord hlmselr had
fixed the line, of ordinary high tide, and
the question was not where the Land Of
fice might construe It to be, but where It
actually Is. That could be determined
only by tho courts In each Individual case.
Following, up my problem, I went to
members of Congress, and from them
learned that It was brought out In the
Cape Nome hearing by their committee
on Alaska matters, that there Is only
about two feet difference, between high
tide and low tide at Cape Nome. And it
w-us me general consensus of opinion that
4Ka "Una nt mtl... l-t - ... .. ..
the
Cape Nome beach is about fmlf nr- tn.
4.c ui u.uuttirj iuKii iiae on me
thirds of the way down the beach from
tundra.
Now if, as we know It to be. this Is
the case, and If the actual, average line
of ordinary high tide Is in or below the
middle of the beach, and If, as is re
ported, placer mining claims have been
Jitaked along the entire length of the
beach down to the line of high tide,
where Is the poor man to come In who
owns no claim, but wants to take gold
from the beach with his old-time rocker?
He can take out gold below the line of
high tide, when the tide .Is out; or he
can perhaps secure a "lay" from the
moro'',foriunifte' 'possessor of a placer
claim above theMlnVof high tide. There
Is no other choice left him If he wishes
to mine for himself, unless he can find
some new rich ground or some new con
struction, or new legislation can be In
voked for his protection.
With this In view, something of an ef
fort has been made to get the Land Of
fice to extend the terms of the act of
May 14, 1S38, providing for a roadway of 60
feet along the Alaska Coast In front of
agricultural and manufacturing lands,
00 that It might cover any claims locates
n the Nome beach under the placer min
ing laws. And It Is generally understood
that the Land Office has eo construed
the law. But upon Inquiry there I was
gain met with a polite but emphatic
denial, and a wish that the men who
made such statements had acquainted
themselves with the facts before making
such positive assertions. This question
came up In connection with the Logan
case, above mentioned, nntf the Secre
tary said: "The effect of this provision
(providing for the 60-foot roadway), has
not been sufficiently considered by this
Department to Justify any expression of
opinion at this time." At the same time I
was Informed that the Department would
not construe that provision until a case
should be brought before It on a contested
application for a patent for land covered
by the roadway. Such a case cannot be
brought to the Department within a year
so that the decision win be of no use
to those desiring to work the coming
Summer. And, furthermore, the official
with whom I talked, and several other
prominent officials, have assured me that
by no possible contortion could the act
providing for the roadway be construed
to affect In any way claims taken up
under the placer mining laws.
A further effort In behalf of the beach
miners was made In the Lacey bill before
the House. The measure was, however,
o poorly drawn that It did not effect tnt
purpose Intended, as It expressly exempted
lands located prior to Its passage In ac
cordance with the act precrlblng the
roadway. The- amendment In the Sen
ate by Senator Barry to the Carter bill,
was aimed at the same condition of af
fairs. But after careful discussion It wai
voted down In the Senate upon the ground
that the 60-foot roadway was already
taken up oy prospectors, most of whom
were as poor and In an great need ai
any others who search for gold. It v
pointed out that these men had gone
t there on an uncertainty, many of them
after yours of prospecting Jn Alaska, and
located their claims In good faith, and
that they ought not to be put out of
their rights tor the benefit of those who
came afterwards when the field had been
found to be rich. There are In the Sen
cte a number of old Western mines, wno
believe that the prospector who goes
first and locates the claims should In
every case be protected as against thoe
who come afterwards. They have llttlt
sympathy fcr those who did not locate
claims and practically say to them. "Go
as these other men did and And rich
rround ord. locatj It. What we want li
to open the country and to develop Its
resources, and the man who goes first Is
the man we protect" And there Is little
cance of moving them from that posi
tion. When It Is suggested that many
of the Nome claims were Illegally taken
they say that "Is a question for the
courts; the remedy is there and nor with
us."
And it therefore seems Improbable that
any legislation will be passed this ses
sion which will In any way relievo the
situation, so as to permit mining on the
beaches by those not owning claims. The
Alaska cade Is before the Senate, and
will go also before the House, and In
both places It Is, of course, subject to
amendment. But the disposition of the
members of both houses Is such that there
Is a general Impression that the measure
that finally passes will not materially dif
fer from the Carter amendment to the
code which was adopted yesterday, and
Is as follows:
Provided, further. That, subject only to such
general limitations as may be necessary to
exempt nat Ig-allon from artificial obstructions,
all land and aboal water blow mean high lids
on the shores, bars and Inlets of Bearing Sea,
within the jurisdiction of the United States,
shall, be -subject to exploration for told and
other precious metals by citizens of the United
States, or penonri who have legally declared
their Intentions to become such, under such
reasonable, rules and regulations a the miners;
In organised mining districts may hare .here
tofora made or may, hereafter raalce governing
the temporary poeseaslon thereof for explora
tion and mining purposes until otherwise pro
vided by law: .provided, further. That the rules
and regulations established by the miners
shall not be In conflict with the mining laws
of the United States; and all permits hereto
fore granted, authorizing any person or per
sons, corporation or company to excavate or
mln)' under any of said waters are hereby
revoked and declared null and void. And the
reservation of a roadway CO feet wide, under
the 10th section of the act of May H. ISM.
entitled "An act extending the homestead laws
and providing for right of way for railroads in
the District of Alaska, and for other pur
poses," shall not apply to mineral lands or
town sites.
By this provision It will be observed
tho miners are allowed the right to take
gold from land and shoal water below high
ilde. under rules and regulations to be
made by themselves In organlxcd mining
districts. It also settles the disputed
question as to the GO-foot rqadway, giv
ing it to tho clalmowners who have lo
cated It.
It will bo seen that this provision en
larges the power of the miners meeting,
giving t it Jurisdiction over all mining
below high-tide land, whether on land
while the tide is out or In deep water "oy
dredges. It does, however, take from the
miners' meeting all Jurisdiction over the
title to claims above the line of actual
high tide.
And In the meantime the question is
whether any Alaska legislation can be se
cured before the rush to Cape Nome. The
Senate bill is being debated from day to
day, but nt thW writing Senator Carter,
who Is In charge of It, has been unable
to get a time set for a vote upon It,
After passing the Senate. It must bo con
sidered by the House, and then a -confer
ence had with the Senate upon the points
of difference. It seems probable, therefore,
that at the time the miners reach Nome,
at a time when there Is the greatest need
for wise laws and careful administration,
the people at Cape Nome, will find them
selves entirely In the dark as to what the
law Is to be. and also without any court
to whom they can appeal for the enforce
ment of existing laws.
Governor Brady, Senator Carter and 3
number of members and Senators from
Wertern States are doing their best to
hasten the .passage of the bill, but It Is
doubtful If they can do so before the rush
to Capo Nome seta In.

PORTLAND. April 23. (To the Editor.).
The febrile "Intemperance a Vice" log
omachy hai convalesced Into a case of
stubborn dilemma or paradox. This Is at
least tho diagnosis of a cursory exami
nation. One good man's assertion has
encountered that of another good man.
and the disputants are buttressed against
each other like tne British and Boers at
Wepcner. It Is unfortunate no conclu
sion can bo reached. In order that the
boggle-eyed Intemperate could be con
vinced that they are criminals.
Thanks to all hands, tho clouds- of In
dcflnltenesa which first obfuscated the
dispute have at length been cleared away.
Such a strong light has been focused
upon the controversy that the hitherto
collglnous point at Issue has been revealed
to both astigmatic Imbibers and nephnl
lrta. Spectators have been able, with sat
isfaction, to follow the cryptic disputa
tion through all the labyrinthine by-ways
until they. too. have beheld the real horns'
of the Minotaur. All the seed thoughts
written In this controversy on Intemper
ance cluster about these often unrealized
alternatives: Intemperance Is a vice. In
temperance Is a crime.
If has been demonstrated that by means
of poor things like words, we can argue
our opinions Into any form wc like. We

prove that wc actually walk on our feet,
and contrariwise that we ambulate on

We can prove that Diogenes with his

that ho was tho wisest of men. We can

We can provo that benevolent assimila

cause he contrived to get even innumerable-times

dicate with some show of success that
the God of the Jews was not anthropomor

mercy and love, else he could not have
turned Hagar out In the wilderness, could
not In his Infinite omniscience have cre

him from Eden, torture and drown him;

WHEN a -woman first feels backache, nervousness, weariness, bearing-down pains, or other, symptoms
of derangement, displacement, or female trouble, she naturally turns to seek medical help.
But as she takes the first step she shudders and shrinks back.
"THERE'S A LION IN THE WAY" I and that Hon in the way is the dreaded familiarity
of the questions, the indelicate examinations, the offensive local treatments generally inseparable from
the "doctoring" of a local practitioner.
THERE'S A BETTER WAY FOR WOMAN to sit down in her own private room and
write a private letter to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, IT. Y., setting forth her symptoms telling her
troubles. That letter will be read by Dr. Pierce in privacy as strict as that in which it was written.
Its contents will be treated as a sacred confidence. The reply-

Wo can prove that Intemperance Is sim

our humor suits us. In the incandescent
light of our Imagination we can manage
to see a truth that seems true, but Is
really refracted. In tho Intolerance of
our opinions we can send to Coventry
those who aro deaf to our homilies.
It Is asserted by one sido that Intem
peranco is even more than a vicc-Ji crime.
The nephallsts have a good argument,
but It is not direct enough. It intemper
ance is a vice It Is wrong, since obviously
no vice Is right. If It is wrong. It Is bad.
since no wrong can be good. If It Is
bad it Is pernicious, as everybody will ad

If he Is depraved he violates laws hu

unless he violated divine or human laws.

It is alleged only Chinese labor Is em

The mill has 34,000 spindles and TOO looms
and makes good yarn. Other mills, it Js
said, are located In Shanghai. The real
facts about cotton manufactures In China,
says Mr. Goodnow, are these:
The mill in Hankau has discontinued
weaving cloth, as It could not meet tho
competition of forclgni piece goods. The .

replaced by spindles. In Shanghai there
are 7S0 looms running. It Is claimed that

I quit all the doctors, and began taking your medicines, I gained right along.

of cotton yarn are made, and the higher
