'STRIKE' STORIES
New Gold Diggings Are Far
From Being as Rich as
Reported.

.NiillE. Alaska. Jan. li. (Special.)
In n-.y 10 years' experience In Alaska
I have noticed that nine out of ten
m-n who leave Alaska and return to
the states say they have large mining
Interests and are out either to buy
machinery or dredges. The truth more
than likely is that they have "cold
ff and are afraid to face the hard
Winters, or are without funds. A very
few really did leave here last. Fall to
brtna; In dredges.
Also. I notice that men who have
not made a success of mining, whom
we call "chalrwarmers" here, try to
rush Into print as soon as tSey 'get
on the outside. Alsska'a greatest need
now is that something of the truth
concerning conditions here be told. The
stories of rich strikes, which have been
told In the States of late have been
grossly exaggerated.
The production of gold from Alaska
for the past three years has steadily
declined, as the following figures will
how:

Nome Is Dead
It has been published in s"me papers
that Alaska produced more than a mil
lion dollars more gold in 1910 than it
did In l'i. Nome was unable to
maintain its streets, sidewalks or sew
ers last year on account of there be
ing not enough money In the treasury.
It does not even own Its own fire team.
THe new courthouse was finished In
130s. and If the Government should at
tempt to sell It now. It would not real
ise 10 cents on the dollar. No new
hulMtng are going up; there la no
need of them.
The early boats In the Spring will
not rracl Nome before June 1 to IS.
The IJt.aroJ gets fresh goods and sup
plies by way of tkagway down tha
river by June I.
If thnre ts any Increase of the gold
production ef Alaska It will be when
many new dredges are Installed, as the
pick and shovel men have, to the best
of experienced mining men's knowledge,
removed the cream of the richness out
of the Nome district. As for the labor
problem It takes from four to seven
men to operate a dredger, which will
do the work of from ao to 100 men.
All but two dredges bring In their
crews from the outside.
several merchants here will leave the
camp the coming Summer, or sooner,
if they can. One business man here,
Wo has the best locations, told me
that his rental la Just about one-third
of what It was formerly, and he would
take even less before he would per
mit his tenant to move out.
Squirrel News Not txcltlng.
The news received here from tha
Squirrel camp Is not very exciting.
Many are losing hope that It will turn
out as well as the Squirrel merchants,
and others who had axes to grind, pre
dicted. Still, the Winter Is only one
third gone, and Spring will toll the
tale.
The Kuskoklm ts attracting tha most
attention now. but one report from
there statea that gold waa found on
only a few creeks, shallow, and In
summer diggings only. Food Is high
and scarce.
Bacon Is $2 a pound, butter fl.TS.
beans 50 cents, rice SO cents, dried
fruit tl.IS. flour tl. cream SO cents a
can. The Kuskoklm seems to have the
overflow from the Idltarod camp. The
Williams or Olsen claim on Julian
Creek, reported to have three feet of
pay dirt at IKS a pan. turns out to bo
three teet of dirt paying only 1 or 4
cents a pan. Hut even I -cent dirt Is
good If It Is shallow and there la an
abundance of water.
On Center Creek there Is some T and
t-cect per pan dirt, and thlatts tha
talk of the camp. But It la only spot
ted and will last but a few months.
Xome lias Fierce Hliuard.
Commencing New Tear's eve wo had
a three days' billiard, the worst ever

big fall of snow. The Coroner was
railed out at 2 o'clock In the morn

for Simmons. They had gone to bed.

to Parchase Food.
WASHINGTON; Fob. 25. To prevent
the extinction of the big game of
Northern Wyoming. CongTeso has been
Importuned to appropriate 120.000 to
be expended with a similar sum ap
propriated by the Legislature of that
state. A petition was received by the
Senate today from the Wyoming Leg
islature and it waa supported by a
long telegram from Governor Carry
and an urgent letter to Senator Lodge
from rr. W. T. Hornaday, of the New
York Zoological Park.
It is stated that there are about
S3.000 elk alone, which In Summer roam
In Tellowstone Park, but the Winter
Invade the haystacks of farmers, but
without tha food thus obtained It la
estimated that not fewer than 6000 of
them would die of starvation during
February.
Governor Carey expresses the opin
ion that the surplus elk could be re
moved to the Big Horn mountains,
where be says there Is an abundance
of food and suggests that a company
of cavalry be detailed to aid experi
enced cattle men In removing tha ani
mals.
The reouest for assistance from the
National Government Is based on tha
fact that a great many of the elk roam
In Yellowstone Park, which la under
Federal Jurisdiction.

the yacht work, fc.no win d duui just
north of the main plant, and when the

POST IS DECLINED
John F. 0'Shea Will Not Serve
on Port Commission.
PRESS OF BUSINESS PLEA
Captain Albert Crowe to Accept
Place on Board, Suggests Syste
matizing Methods of Con
ducting All Affairs.
Pleading press of business locally
and the fact that there are strong
probabilities that he will be absent
from the state for a considerable
period, John F. O'Shea, appointed by
Governor West as his personal choice
as the seventh membew of the Port of
Portland Commission, has decided that
he cannot accept the position. He said
last night that he had reached that
decision after, giving the matter deep
thought.
"Being a member of such a body Is
an important position, and I feel that
to fill it properly a person should be
ready at all times to give the details
his attention," said Mr. O'Shea. "My
business Is such that I cannot spare
the time, and besides, I contemplate
trips outside of Oregon, and In being
away for a long period I would be
holding a position that another could
fill advantageously who has the time."
West to Name Another.
The appointment of Mr. O'Shea was
generally satisfactory, and it was par
ticularly gratifying to himself and
friends that the state's chief executive
honored him In that regard. His
declination of the post will give Gov
ernor West another opportunity to
exercise his prerogative of naming the
last member. K. D. Inman, Captain
Albert Crowe and James Macgulre
were appointed with Mr. O'Shea as new
members, there being W. D. Wheel
wright, J. C. Alnsworth and C. F.
Adams, of the present personnel, to
hold over.
"While I have no desire to appear
presuming or as directing the affairs
of the Commission, no doubt every
man appointed to a public office soon
forms ideas of new methods that might
be introduced," said Captain Crowe,
when asked yesterday for an expres
sion of his opinion as to the work the
new body should undertake. "System
is everything, I believe, and that Is
shown in the manner In which the
office of Superintendent Campion is
conducted. That I am somewhat fa
miliar with, because of having con
stant business in maritime circles.
Harmony Easily Attained.
"There should be no difficulty main
taining the objects of the Commission
harmoniously, and like most established
enterprises, there will probably be in
troduced new features. I think that
all public bodies should maintain a
complete Inventory of property and
equipment In their possession. In the
Port of Portland's affairs a list of
vessels and gear would be valuable,
because It could be checked over fre
quently and at any period an idea could
be gained of the cost of each depart
ment in the way of maintenance, what
new work or equipment had been as
signed to different vessels since the
Inventory waa made.
"I feel that such matters should be
handled by an active committee made
up of men with time to visit the ves
sels, public drydocks and other depart
ments frequently, so that they would
be In touch with the situation and,
I when questions arise at meetings, they
could act Intelligently, and at the same
time explain features that might not
be familiar to other members. Also,
heads of departments should file re
ports at each monthly meeting, show
ing business handled by them and their
men. expenditures and receipts, and
like items."
Mr. Macgulre. who, until five years
ago, when he embarked in business for
himself, followed mechanical pursuits,
said that while his appointment on the
Commission was unsolicited, and that
he would not have viewed the sugges
tion of his name favorably, he In
tended to remain in the work. He
sums up his Ideas In one statement,
and that is. the Commission should be
organized and conducted along lines
that promise the best results for the
general Interests of Portland.
SPRINGFIELD CLUB MEETS
Whether or Xot to Accept Railroad's
Offer Is Question.
SPRIXGFIELD. Or., Feb. 23. (Spe
cial.) The Springfield Commercial Club
will hold a special meeting Monday night
to consider the proposition of the South
ern Pacific Company, which company, for
the consideration of tlSOO, generous.y
agrees to give Springfield between H00O
and $5000 worth of advertising, in the
form of descriptive booklets and Eastern
advertising. All the membership of the
local Commercial Club, representatives
of the Eugene Commercial Club, C. C.
Chapman, of Portland, and William
Blttle Wells, of the Southern Pacific
Company, will be present.
The railroad company states that the
city will receive write-ups from time to
time in Eastern papers. There ts ex
pected to be considerable opposition,
since the plan carries the outlay of
money. It will be necessary to raise as
much again to handle tho work in
Springfield.
