CITY Election.

The election in this city passed off
very quietly, with no excitement and
lukewarm interest as is manifested in
the light vote cast, just about half
the number recorded at the last
presidential election. The highest
vote, that cast for mayor, was 243. The
reason for tile lack Of interest in the
election was that the result was a
foregone conclusion before the voting
commenced from the fact that there
was no opposition to the convention
nominees. The neglect Of the
temperance people to demand test
Of expression on the license question
eliminated that element Of excite
ment from the election. The follow
ing officers were elected:
Mayor-G w. Chinnock.

There is an immense amount Of this

find room for the most Of this in
places where it will help in grading on
the highways. A considerable amount
of the harder brick is being saved for
use in the new building and larger

MOUNTAINS OF GOLD ore
An Alaskan FL Dorado That Over
shadows kl0ndike.
A PICK IS NOT NEEDED
Returned Adventurers Tell Tales
of Discoveries on Gravina, An
nette and Revillaeigedo Islands
Practically All of the Land Open
TO Entry.

Tacoma, Wash, Jan. 9.-What are
described as mountains of rich gold
and copper ores have been discovered
on Gravina, Annette and Revillagigedo
island, on the southeastern Alaska
coast. Soils Cohen, who has returned
to Wrangel with a party of prospe ctors,
says of these islands:
Certain it is that fortunes beyond
the widest dreams or ayarice await
their practical and intelligent develop
ment. 1t seems extrayagant to speak
of mountains of ore, but that is exactly
what characterizes these islands, and
also Prince of Wales island. Hundreds
of thousands of tons of ore, practically
ready for the smelter, may be shipped
without putting pick beneath the
ground
'LedgeS extend from the beach to
the base of the mountains near the
center of the islands, following the in
dentations of the ground and being
from ten TO fifty feet wide These
ledgeS at times rise in fantastic shapes
like ruins of ancient castles, and all
carry precious metals. Strip them any
where blow them open with powder,
and the metal which they conceal is
laid open. We opened several ledges
in this manner and fine gold was plain
~ visible in the white quartz This is
above the surface, all indications being
that still richer finds are beneath the
surface.
"'on Gravina the ore is principally
copper, showing up well in free gold.
on RevilIagigedo island. especially
above Georges inlet and Helen bay,
very rich free milling ledges have been
treated. otherwise. these mammoth de-
posits are all unclaimed" Cohen's de-
scription has caused much excitement
al Wrangel and Juneau, and many To-
cations viii be made within a few
weeks The ledges are comparatively
easy of access.
All these islands have land-locked
deep-water harbors with ideal mill
sites and waterfalls to furnish power
for stamp mills.

The commissioners of tile District, at
their meeting held this morning, VIII con-
slider the matter of the alleged shortage III
weight of coal furnished to different school
houses by certain wood and coal dealers
If is alleged that some dealers who have
contracts for supplying fuel to District
buildings have been delivering an inferior
quality to that called for in the contracts, {,
and also that 1t has fallen short in weight

Seven loads of coal from the yards oi
John Kennedy, at South Capitol and h
streets. were on Saturday held up by ln-
snactor VermilIion and a detective While
the drivers were in the act of delivering
rhe fuel at DenniSon school building
They were weighed at Harper's coal yard
and weighed and, it is alleged found to De
short, Beside this, it is said, box filled
with coal was found und,r the seat OF each
driver which was weighed with the wagon,
but not removed when the coal was
unloaded.
No arrests have yet been made 1or tne
offepse but the Commissioners VIII cake
the matter under advisement today. Inc
fine for shortage in weight in such cases
is 81 90 for each offense, or imprisonment in
the District Jail for a term not to exceed
six months. 1t is said that other cases
will be investigated.
The matter was first brought to the
attention of the officers by r. A. Estep,
ianitor of VanBuren School, who reported
to Supervising Principal j. T. Freeman
that the amount of coal delivered this
season was much less than what il had
been last year, although the amount con-
tracted for was the same. Mr.. Freeman
upon investigation found that the same
thing was true in several other school
buildings, and SO reported to Commissioners
Ross nearly three months ago. The matter
was referred to Fuel Inspector j. c.
Howard, and it was learned, it is said, that
while certificates had been sign ed by
him and left with johnson Brothers, ac-
knowledging the receipt of the quantity
of coal contracted for, nothing OF the kind
had been done with Mr.. Kennedy. and
those which he produced to the inspector
are said to have been forgeries. and are
now in the hands of the Commissioners.
Mr. Kennedy called at Tie Times Of
flee last night and denied all the charges
against him, declaring that he would
today deposit certified check with Com
missioner Ross for $4,000, which he
would forfeit. il the charges against him
were proved.

EASY VICTIM TO BUNCO MEN
Bogus Government Officials in Chi
cage Secure a Californian Cash.
Accuse Him of Being Counterfeiier T.
and Decamp With Bills Offered
for Their Inspection.

San Francisco, Jan. 9.-Henry Winter.
OF Santa Ana, one of the largest celery
growers in this State, has just returned
from Chicago, where he was a victim of
one of the cleverest bunco schemes yet
heard of, He was sent East by celery
growers to advance their interests, and
he took 5000 for expenses When he
stepped off the train at Chicago he
was met by three men, who told him TO
consider himself under arrest for coun-
terfeiting. He told them who he was
and declared that there must be mis-
take
Now, don't try to fool us" was the
only answer. I'VE are United States

of their coats and showed glittering
stars.
I'VE know you for the most danger
Gus counterfeiter in the country, and
further we know that right now you
have on your person quite sum of
counterfeit money"
Winter at once protested that he had
no bogus money, and to prove his as
sertions, produced his roll of bills and
told the men to look the money over
and see if il was not genuine. They in
spected the bills and told Winter they
were dangerous counteTfeits and would
have to be taken to the United States
marshars office, while he would have to
go to police headquarters. Without
thought of his money he accompanied
one of the men, who, in crowd. sud
denly disappeared. Then he knew that
he had fallen among bunco steerers.
He complained to the police, but they
laughed at him and called him jay.
He did not tell Of his loss until his re-
turn. when he told of his adventure in
the dangerous streets of Chicago.

CANADIAN YUKON POLICY.
Position of the Interior Depart.
ment sharply Criticised

ment Sha rply Criticised
Ottawa, Ont, Jan. 9.-The outspohen
criticism or tie Canadian Minister of the
Interiors Yukon policy by Mr.. Oliver, NJ.
p. for Alberta, who is also stanch sup
porter of the Laurier Cover rnment, has,cre-
ated quite Il sensa ton in politica! circles
mere. Mr.. oliver said:
THE news that the mounted police force
in the Yukon is TO be increased TO $50
men seems 10 indicate that the Dominion
government intends to depend upon force
rather than Justice in that region. II the
history of the mining regions in British
Columbia is To be considered as any guide,
a very small number of police is suf
ficent for the support OF law and order
in the Yukon, provided the laws are based
on the principles OF Justice. If the laws
are not ba sed upon justice, then military
force is needed, and that is what the
Canadian government intends to supply.
The unreasonable nature of the mining
regulations is the cause for such large
body of police in the Yukon. The cost
of support for this number Of men will be
enormous, for the first year or two not
less than $4,000 per man. or round
100000 year. This will absorb 10
per cent on yearly output Of $4,000 900.
without an effort to get the royalty the
police would not be necessary in such num-
bers, when the conditions Of the country
are taken into consideration
Even If the yearly output should reach
500, 1000 900, there is not the remotest
possibility OF the fun amount OF royalty
being collected by $50 men, even if the
attempt TO collect does not render neces-
sary the employment Of many more men
and the expenditure of more millions. This
expenditure is rendered necessary, not by
the conditions of the country, but by the
policy Of the government
