MINING In ALASKA.
observations of Members of the Geo
logical Survey Service.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 12.-Among the
passengers on the steamer Bertha, which
has just arrived from Alaska, were J. E.
Spur H. r. Goodrich and f. c. Schrader,
of the United States geological survey.
They were sent to Alaska last spring to
make a report the prospects of quartz
mining in that region and they spent the
entire summer in pursuing their investiga-
tions and observations. They crossed the
Chilkat pass and reached the upper Yukon
about the middle of June. They then went
down the Yukon to its mouth, pursuing
their Investigations at the various, settle
ments on their way and reached Fort st.
Michaels at the mouth of the Yukon, three
weeks ago, sailing almost Immediately for
San Francisco. They have satisfied them
selves, they say. that the prospects of prof
liable quartz mining in Alaska are very
good and will make report to that ef-
feet. There is a big lode running north
west and southeast through the country
similar to the mother lode in California
and they expect to see many big mines
opened on the lode before many years have
passed AT present placer mining is the
only process in vogue the Yukon and
its tributaries. They declare that quartz
mining can only be conducted at great ex-
pense, but they believe that plenty of ore
can be found of sufficient richness to make
quartz mining not only a paying. but a
profitable venture. The chief obstacle to
be encountered are mosquitoes and cold
winters.

A ROBBER CONFESSES
BICYCLE-MOUNTED BANDIT TELLS
HOW A BANK WAS LOOTED.
Brother of the Thief Who Shot n Mar
shal and Then Killed Himself
When COrnered.

PARAMOUNT, Mimi, Oct. 12.-The young
man under arrest here on a charge of hav-
ing been implicated in the double murder
and bank robbery at Sherburne, has made
a confession acknowledging that he was
associated in the affair. He says that the
man killed while resisting arrest near Ell
more was his brother. He will not reveal
his true name or the location of his home.
The confession was secured by his captor,
Marshal Roby. In 1t he declares that his
brother planned the robbery and killed the
two men in the Sherburne Bank. After
detailing the killing of the two men he said
he and his brother were greatly alarmed
lest they be penned up in the bank and
both agreed that they must work rapid
ly. He continues: II went to the money
drawer and took out the money. j thought
there was about 800 In the bunch that
had. l put it in a sack that we had for
that purpose, and then we cut the screen
to the back window and left town on our
bicycles. Just as we got on the bicycles
l handed my brother the money and he
put 1t in his bicycle bag. We separated
about two and one-half miles or three miles
best rider, made south for the State line
and / took southwesterly direction until
out south along the Des Moines river to
Algona. Then l crossed the country around
Dy BTU ana FOreSt CITY to Lake Mills. Il
had a pretty hard time getting through"
After making the confession to Marshal
Roby, the latter wanted the prisoner to tell
his right name, but he shook his head
and said: II don't wish to let my folks
know anything about this. 1 suppose L
shall plead guilty under an assumed name"
The name he first gave on being taken into
custody was Jim McMulen. He now says
that 1t is fictitious, but will give no other
so that is the name under which he will
probably be arraigned
Later.-The bank robber is guarded by
militia tonight, grave fears of an attempt
at lynching being entertained by the au-
thor1tles. The young desperate gives as
his reason for not divulging his name that
he has praying mother and sister of very
high connection and repute and he will
never allow them to stand the stigma of
such crime. He is the coolest man in
t'a1rmount tonight, although there is great
danger OF his dangling at a ropes end be-
fore morning. The county officials at 8
o'clock tonight called out fifty members
of Company d, and have them stationed in
side the Jail inclosure. A report was re-
ceived from Sherburne that a mob was
forming there to march on the jail here
but officers declare they will not surrender
their man. On the street a great deal of
excitement exists.
A dispatch from Sherburne SAYS the bodv

puts money into circulation. Money does
not want to be idle any more than labor
and the only reason he does not put it out
now is because he is afraid he will never
get it back get it back in a de-
preciated currency. And when he does
not put it out and it does not circulate,
then there is no work. When you have idle

you have received dollars worth 100 cents

that is the kind of money we propose to
