East Arm Near Taku.
BIG RUSH FROM ATLIN
Discovery Made ON Joe Martin Creek
Which Flows Into East Arm Mid
way Between Golden Gate and
Taku City-Pay Reported To Be
One Ounce Per Day Per Man
With IA Rocker.

A placer strike has been made on East
Arm bout midway between Golden Gate
and raku, and it is reported to be rich.
The rush to the dlggings from Atlin is
said to be approaching genuine stampede.
The discovery was made by w. F. Jones
of the Atin firm of Rant & Jones, who has
christened the creek on which the gold
was found, Joe Martin creek, in honor of
the irascible Vancouver legislator
P. Scharschmidt. the energetic Bennett
journalist, promoter, broker and transport
tation man, who arrived from Bennett last
night says that considerable excitement
has been aroused over the discovery.
1.-THE strike on Joe Martin creek was
made some time ago." said Mr. Schar-
scmidt, 'but has just leaked out. So far
the work has been done by panning and
with the primitive rocker.
81 am told that the pay is easily an
ounce day to the rocker, which Is quite
rich when the accessible location 1t consid-
cred.
On the last trip of the Cleaner there
was a considerable quantity of lumber
brought out from Atlln and left at the
scene of the strike for the purpose of maxi
ing sluice boxes.
"Mr. Jones, the discoverer, and the
the others who have been on the ground.
are enthusiastic over the find.
"The rush from Atlin had just COM
menced, and was apparently developing
| into stampede.
"Joe Martin creek is about twelve miles
this side of Atlin and directly in the course
of the steamboat lines.

"How extensive the country NAV be in
the vicinity OF the new strike and Just how
good, cannot saw.
lone good thing, the strike is too far in
land for everyone to rush in and overrun
the camp.
ut may be that if all turns out we'll, a
number of the men from Forty Mile and
other places viii go in this winter over the
trail with sleds."
The Chistochna river, on which the
new strike was made, is in the district
near where the Tanana and the White as
we'll as the Copper take their sources and
follow in various directions down the diff
erent watersheds. small circle might be

Parties Give Bail.

Mckay and Jandos, the principals the in

preliminary hearing in court Yesterday.

there in proper person. The first case
which was to be heard was that of
Jandos, charged with assault with a
dangerous weapon committed upon the
person of Mckay.
The testimony of the government did
not differ materially from the story of the
ARRAY as given bv the DAILY ALASKAN

Uncle Sam said that early Monday morn
ing, Jandos appeared on the Mckay prem
iSes, robed in the scant apparel in which
he had spent the night. and commenced a
of bombardment of the Mckay house and
its occupants as thew appeared on the back
porch.
1t was admitted that Mckay had taken
a shot at Jandos who then beat a hasty
retreat.
Later the beligerants met again on the
alley near the two residences, which adjoin,
when Jandos struck Mckay with rock.
J G. Price, who represented Jandos, of
fered no testimony and his client was held
by Judge Sehlbrede in the sum of $3.50 for
the grand jury.
Mckay. charged with shooting at jan
dos with intent to kill, waived examina-
ton, and was held for the grand jury In
the sum of $500. Mckay was not repre-
sented by counsel.
Both parties furnished the bail.

Phil Abrahams Secures $l3O-It
Will Require $3.50 To Conduct
the Defense The Case is One of
Vital Interest to Property Own
ers--Time in Which to ACT is
Short--16O Acres Are Involved.

The fund to defrav the expense of the
appeal to the secretary of the interior in
the townsite case has been commenced,
The sum Of $3.50 was subscribed vester-
day. The subscription were taken and
the money collected BY Phil Abrahams.
The case to be fought is one of vital
consequences to the property owners in the
business center of Skagway. J. Bernard
Moore's appeal from the decision of the
commissioner of the general land office
which was adverse to him was filed some
time time ago, and the property owners
only have a little more than thirty days
in which to make proper appearance in
the interior department. 1t IS regarded as
essential therefore, that the money be sent
to Washington without delay. The
amount required is $3.50.
There is an idea property INVOLVED in
this case is confined to the 43 acres allowed
Moore by the Sitka land officials, but in
this they are mistaken. The application
is for 100 acres and comprises the entire
townsite for a half mile north from the
waterfront. If the application is granted,
therefore, it will take nearly all the bust
ness property and houses in Skagway.
The following have subscribed to date:

Michael Lonergan, for y years work
man in the foundry al the Bennington
machine works. has "a good record for
lifting. He is now pretty well toward
80 years old and weighs about 100
pounds. A few years ago ladle, such
as is used IN the foundry, had been al
lowed to cool off while filled with melted
iron. 1t became necessary to remove it.
and the man supposed to be the strongest
in the place was asked to try and lift it,.
The ladle, with contents, weighing over
500 pounds. He did not succeed, and
Lonergan, taking hold of the handle with
both hands, lifted 1t some four inches
from the ground and moved it several
inches. That gave him the reputation
of being the strongest man of the 30 en-
ployed in the place. Another one of his
records is the taking of 700-pound weights
from the floor of the foundry and piling
them on top of each other, three nigh.
There is not now another man in the
foundry who can do it, Lonergan is one
of the best built men in the village and
for number OF years was connected
with the village fire department.
