THE GOLD MINES OF ALASKA
Show a Good Output for the Last
Year
The Governor of the Territory Makes
His Annual Report-Seals VIII
Soon Be Exterminated

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-James
Sheakley, governor of Alaska in hts an
nual report to the secretary of the in
terlor says: There is great encourage
ment in the outlook for Alaskan gold
mines During the year ending the first
of this month, s2,30O.o00 in gold bullion
has been taken from the mines, the
greater part being the product of low
grade ores, much OF which yielded less
than "a per ton. Almost any grade of
ores now can be worked at profit here.
Confidence in Alaska as gold produc-
ing country increases with the develop
ment of her resources.
A number of gold-bearing quartz
ledges and placer deposits have been dis
covered in the Sitka district, and sew
eral are under development with good
prospects.
The gold placers of the Yukon region
continue to attract attention of gold
miners and fortune seekers, but nt
rich discoveries have been reported
from there. Several wild reports, the
governor says, have started rushes OF
several thousand seekers to the Cooks
Inlet gold fields during the summer, but
only to meet disappointment and hard
ship, and the people are getting back
out of the district. The governor be-
leves, however, that there are paying
gold deposits there.
The report makes a plea for the re-
peal of the present liquor prohibition
law, which has been demoralizing In
it's effects and violated in every COM
munity, and urges the enactment ol
igh-license laws with suitable safe
guards.
On the subject of the fur zeal agree
.ment the governor says: The current
regulations agreed upon by majority
of the tribunal of arbitration for the pro-
lection of fur seals In Bering sea, have
entirely failed to afford the protection
intended, or to prevent the destruction
of those animals. Pelagic sealing, any
way, will result in the determination OF
the entire race within few years. The
governor deprecates the cost Of exrea-
sive and burdensome patrolling, now
necessary, as exceeding all the mel
profits of pelagic sealing, even if the lat
ter were harmless.

A GREAT SENSATION SPOILED
By the Prompt Release OF tie kidnapped
Chinaman
DR.. Sun Wen Feels Very Glad That His
Adventures Happened in England
Instead of in China.

LONDON, Oct 23.-Sin Vat Sen, the
Chinese doctor kidnapped few days
ago, was released today. The Chinese
minister let him go after receiving in
structions from Pekfn. The Chinese
legation was surrounded by Gordon of
police, and a great crowd saw the
Chinaman come out.
After his release Sun Vat Sen, in an
interview denied that he entered the
Chinese legation of his own accord as
claimed. He said he was passing the
legation, which at the time he did not
know were the C1inese official head
quarters in London, when he met a
Chinaman with whom he got into con-
versaton. The stanger in the course
of a chat with Sun Vat Sen said he also
came from Canton and walking along
they soon met another Chinaman, who,
| it appears, emerged from the legation
and was introduced to Sun Yat Sen by
the first Chinaman, who 1t appears was
the interpreter of the Chinese legation,
named Tang. After talking a little
while, the party was Joined by another
Chinaman and Tang thereupon left.
Continuing Sun Vat Sen said:

asked me to enter. Before I could reply
they pushed me inside the door and
slammed it behind me. Once inside the
building 1 was forced upstairs to the
fourth story by my companions. who
were big men, aIH who locked me IN
room.
Almost Immediately afterwards, a
gentleman described as being Sir Halli-
day MacCartney) entered and said:
You are in China now.' He asked me If
my name was Sun Yves and when ac-
quiesced, he said he arrested me upon
information received from the Chinese
minister at Washington, who had cabled
the Chinese legation here that Sun Wen
was on the Majestic"
"The next day. continued Sun Wen

thing is settled. We are going to gag

ON board a ship we have chartered

question on the subject that he was pro-

THEY WANT PAY FOR WATER
And Ask the Courts to Project Their
Rights
Stanislaus Supervisors Think 1Aa Fer
Cent Sufficient Dividend For In
vestors in Canada

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23.-Attorney
Garret McEnerney, on behalf of the
San Joaquin and Kings River Canal and
Irrigation company, has commenced
suit in the United States circuit court
against the supervisors of Stanislaus
county to test the constitutionality of
the legislative act under which they
have attempted to fix the rates which
the irrigation company may charge.
Recently the supervisors, acting under
the legislative act of March IL, 1855,
upon petition of twenty-five residents
of the county, appraised the irrigation
company's plant, figured out the pro-
fits and losses. estimated what they
considered fair profit on the capital in
vested, and then proceeded to cut the
company's rates nearly in two.
The company has eleven miles of
bitches in Stanislaus county, and on
March 10th twenty-five of it's patrons
petitioned the supervisors of the county
to reduce the rates the company was
charging. Acting under the authority
given them in the Legislative act of
March IL, 1895, the supervisors on June
oath took the matter up. They refused
to consider that the right of the COM
pany was worth anything, and ap-
praised it's plant at S3S7 900, and on this
basis cut the water rates nearly in two,
leaving the profits on the investment,
according to the company's experts at
l AS per cent, which the complaint in
many places reterates, is manifestly un-
fair.
The irrigation company sees visions
of an interminable number of law suits,
and hastens into the United States
courts with the claim the the legislative
act under which the supervisors inter-
fered with it's business is contrary to
section 1 of the fourteenth amendment
to the constitution of the United States
in that it interferes with the rights and
privileges of citizens who have invested
their money legitimately.
The bill is suit in equity to declare
the action of the supervisors null and
void, to restrain them from publishing
the rates or attempting to enforce them
and to recover from them $4,000 over and
above all court costs for the injury
they have done to the irrigation COM
