To the social ambition of burglars there
is no limit They bicycle to suburban
crib which they have arranged TO crack,
drive dogcarts and wear gold-rimmed
spectacles. Another phase of their desire
for higher recognition among the commu-
nifty is greatly exercising the mind of a
respected resident of Putney, who return-
ed after a brief holiday at the beginning
of the week to find that in his absence
his house had been visited by at least
one thief. who appropriated a quantity
Of plate. a dress suit, two Greek decora-
tions for merit Of which the householder
was the proud possessor, and ticket for
a public dinner TO an official OF a golI cIuD
who is leaving England for-Australia.
This function was fixed for Tuesday
waning The excitement of the burglary
drove all recollection of the banquet from
1,is head. and it was only when some
friends mentioned how charming his rep
resentative was at the banquet that ne
remembered the disappearance oil the
ticket which was marked one guinea
wine included" Subsequent investigation
shaved that the burglar had not only ap-
,ronriated the admission card, but act
uallv wore the gentleman's Greek decora-
tfor's at the dinner, where he represented
himself to be the ticket holders cousin,
Who was on his holidays, and made him-
self so popular among the company with
stories of his exploits in the late creek
49,. tbat several of them invited him 70
visit their houses.
And now the real owner of the decora-
t,ons is trying to find OUT all these gem
tlemen and warn them of the danger they
run should the false guest honor them
with his presence, because It would mere
1y be the preliminary OF another ours'ar y.

Foreigners at IlOilO Ask for American
Protection.
Washington, Nov. 2l.-News OF a
mixed character came to the navy de-
partment today from Admiral Dewey
touching the situation In the Philip
pines. The admiral sent two of his
warships, the Charleston and the Con.
cord, some time ago, to the southwark
from Manila to ascertain whether there
was truth in reports that the insurgents
had extended their activities in that
direction. Today he cabled as fol-
lows:
Manila, Nov. 21.-Secretary Of the
Navy, Washington: Charleston and
Concord arrived today from Iloilo.
Glass reports that the entire island Of
Panay is in possession of insurgents,
except Iloilo, which is defended by 800
Spanish troops. All foreign citizens
there beg for American protection.
The island of Negros has declared in
dependence and desires American pro-
tectorate. DEWEY"
Glass is commander Of the Charles
ton. So far, nothing has been done by
the administration toward curbing the
insurgents in their operations, save
verbal representations from the Ameri.
can commanders to Aguinaldo, in
which it has been pointed out to him
that it would be- good policy, in view
of the probability of the annexation OF
the islands by the United States, to
pursue course that would not be OBJ.
noxious to the United States. But the
situation is now realized to be critical.
So far as the Spaniards are concerned,
perhaps they can be left to take care Of
themselves, but the foreign residents
at Iloilo are differently regarded.

Oold Bearing Rock Crushed Douglas Island Alaska Equa to

The Greatest Mines in. the world.

More gold-bearing rock is being
crushed on Douglas island, Alaska,
than in an equal area in any other
country in the world
The Treadwell and allied companies
now have $50 stamps set up-54O on
the Treadwell, 1870 on the Mexican.
100 on the Union and 100 on the Ready
Buliino-and the engineers will soon
turn over the mills to the companies
as completed. These mills will easily
crush 2,5O0 tons of ore a day. do
not believe there is any place in the
world, South Africa, Australia, or any
where else, where so much rock is be-
ing crushed on so small space of
ground. The Treadwell now has g.
100000 tons OF ore in sight. The
Ready Bullion promises to equal the
Treadwell in the amount OF it's produc-
tion. All the dirt has been sluiced off
it and 1t has been traced for 800 feet
along the beach and 600 to 700 feet
along the hill. 1t is from 80 to 100
feet wide on the surface, and is in the
contact between greensboro and slate,
as are all the Douglass island iedges,
the ore being Of the same character as
the Treadwell. The shaft is down $50
feet under Gastineau channel and the
ledge has there widened out to over
200 feet and carries from $l2 to $14 in
gold throughout.
The Elmer lie erecting a new 90
stamp mill in the gulch leading up to
Silver Bow basin,. and is about to start
tunnel from that level which will
tap its ledge at great depth. Further
up the same gulch the Alaska Juneau
Company has 80 stamps at work on the
ore from great open quarry Of slate
full of veins of quartz carrying free
gold. They simply quarry out the
whole mass, sort out the quartz and
send it to the mill and throw the slate
over the dump.
Berners bay Is keeping up it's repu-
tation. the Ophir, Northern Belle,
Bald Eagle and Seward all having
their mills in operation. Judge Mel
len, who represents an Indiana Com
pany, and who successfully opened up
the Jualin, is now developing the
Ivanhoe, over the ridge between the
Jualin and the Comet, and has about
completed 20-stamp mill. The Jualin
has turned out $4,000 or &12,0 900
month since it started. Milo Kelly
has some very good claims in the Bern
ers bay district, showing free-milling
ore, and is working them. Montana
creek, which runs into Linn canal be-
tween Berners bay and Juneau, is COM
ing to the front. The placers were
worked in the early days, and now the
Early Is working in very rich ore and
running fve-stamp mill. The first
cleanup was very satisfactory. The

a shaft on the Funters bay mine.

Cutting Timber on, Public Lands.

The attention of those engaged in
mining is called to the following pro-
Visions of the law pertaining to the cut
ting OF timber on public lands: mo
persons shall be permitted to fell or re-
move any growing tree of any kind
whatsoever less than eight inches in
diameter. This will not be- regarded
as applicable to black or lodge pine
growing In separate punches along min
eral lands. Persons telling or removing
timber from public mineral lands Of
the United States must utilize all of
each tree cut that can profitably be
used. and must cut and remove the top
and brush and dispose of the same in
such manner as to prevent the spread of
forest fires." The penalty for such vic.
lation is in sum not exceeding $500,
or Imprisonment not exceeding so days,
or both.

Poor, Old Horses.

Running about the street Of sksgway

backs and shoulders were sore, then
TUNED loose to starve. The more hu-

taken up the matter with view to
raising subscriptions to secure feed and
care for the horses. A petition has al
ready been started, and 1t is likely the

November Shipping.

R. P. Rithet & Co. have the follow.
ing to say regarding shippinsg business
in their monthly circular for Novemb Der.
The past three weeks have brcugh.
about a very decided change for the
better in grain freights, although there
has been comparatively nothing doing
from San Francisco. The bulk Of the
seasons shipments will undoubtedly
be made from Oregon, and it appears
likely that Washington will come next.
the yield of California grain being
small in consequence Of the drought.
The increased activity has tended to
harden freights, but on the whole
changes during the month have been
unimportant and the demand scarcely
as great as previously.
