the robbery occurred.
Hold up, therei" the cry rang out,
as the two figures, with revolvers lev
eled, stepped into the road before the
fast-driving stage. The driver pulled
up the horses with tug that nearly set
them on their launches.
The situation was not realized.
though two passengers had loaded
six-shooters, until they were safely COW
cred by the weapons and commanded to
line up for inspection.
The driver had nothing to lose. One
passenger, o. j. Neill, who ia well
known in the territory. was relieved of
$500, six-shooter and a gold watch and
chain. About $50 was taken from the
other two passengers, besides q re-
volver.
1t all occurred in a few minutes, but
not so quickly but the driver and the
passengers had time to take numerous
mental notes.
Both robbers were attired in mems
clothing, but ii was observed that while
one did the robbing the smaller of the
two, short distance away, held deadly
aim on the little party with never a
tremor Of the small white hands. While
not sound escaped the lips of the de-
termined face that peered from behind
the big revolver, the stature, general
appearance and the partial view of the
features of the smaller robber pro-
claimed undeniably the fact that It was
q woman.
There have been female highwaymen
before, but never a woman stood forth
more sublimely self-poised in such a
dramatic scene. Her conduct would
have done credit to the tutelage of
Black Bart or any hero of the tales re-
lated in the border histories.
After the hold-up, which was ac-
complished without the waste of a
cartridge or the disturbing of even a
]ackrabbit, the stage was allowed to
proceed. Mr.. O'Neill stopped of at
Riverside and at once began arranging
plan of pursuit. The stage, with :ts
passengers, continued the journey to
Florence, where Sheriff Truman was
Informed. he Joined NeiIl at Riverside,
and the little posse took to the hills.
The capture was made at night in the
brush in the hills near Benson.
The woman showed fight, and taunt-
ed her companion for allowing himself
TO be taken without battle. The OFF,
GERS found in the woman's possession a
sack containing $500 and n gold watch
belonging to Neill, one of the stage pes
sengers..
On being taken to Florence the wom-
an was recognized as Pearl Hart, who Is
well known throughout Arizona and
southern California. She is about rs
years old. Of medium height. with dark
hair and blue eyes. Some of her friends
say that she planned the robbery in or
der to obtain funds to take her to Ohio.

Captain Hovey Says That Unless citissns Reach Some COnOlusion Friday Ho wm Recommend The North End Site as Final.

An important letter from Gen George Randall, commander of the department of Alaska, has been received by Capt. Hoyey, commander of the troops In Skagway, The general wrote that he wanted to have the matter of the military site at Skag' way settled just as soon as possible, as he wants to get lt on certain and sure foundation before he leaves June foi Nome.
 Capt. Hovey, recognizing the necessity of a positive and certain as we'll as speedy reply on the subject, says he will walt no longer than the sailing of the next City of Seattle, which, according to schedule, will be next Saturday.
 The captain says that fl the people of Skagwav think lt would be more to their advantage 10 have the soldiers stationed h the city proper than at the site first pro- posed, across the river from the car shops, now Is the time for them to act. He makes no public expressions as to choice himself, but says that unless a definite offer for a site rearer In Is made by Satur- day, he shall so report the conditions and immediately take steps for the improve ment of the site near the shops.
 Gen. Randall. It will be remembered, visited Skagway on the Humboldt twelve days ago. Upon his return to Seattle he said, as reported in the POst-lntelllgencer:
 'I Inspected and found the military forces of Southeastern Alaska in splendid condition, and took a look at two sites near Skagwav submitted for army post purposes.
 ''l shall probably select one of the two sites tendered. but my decision will not be given until after hear from Capt, Hovev, commander of the Skagwav com pany. Both sites are on the White Pass & Yukon road and each within about a mile ofSSkasWay--,,tov1 v

MANY. CLAIMS STARED
J. H. Morrison Has Shelter Test Made of Rock That Runs s20 in Gold, 100 Ounces of Silver and Nine Per Cont. Load.

A quiet scramble has been going on ln the valley back of Skagwav for claims on promising mineral lead that has been struck not far from the town. One of the men Interested in the matter was h town yesterday and said that nearly all the hillside from Skagway to White Pass cItv had been staked within the past week.
 The fnd that Is causing all this excite ment Is what promises to be big paving gold, silver and lead proposition which Is being opened within twelve miles of this city. ltls at White Pass city, up the valley back Of Skagwav. ]. H. Morrison, owner of the claim on which the greatest amount of development work has been done, Is in the city and gives a very en- coursglng report on the promises of the property as he has found 1t after driving two tunnels, one directly Into the ore body from the face and The other a eross-eut. He says:
 "I have been working on the rroperty since last September. and have aseertalned to my satisfaction that the main vein Is for long distance at least thirty feet wide ard forty feet high. It stands almost per- pendIcular. and beginning at a benj in the mountain runs back along the mountain. Going in the face of the lead thirty feet 1 found It rich, and then wanted to know lf lt held out. SO started a eross>cut from the outside 800 feet back from the face. The eross-eut was run 70 feet, the last 90 feet passing through the ore, and the other being chiefly through dead or refuse rock.
 Six hundred pounds of an average of the rock was sent to the Tacoma shelter, and test made. The returns showed s2o in gold, 100 ounces of silver and nine per cent. lead.
 "Seleet pieces of the rock from the mine have gone higher, but consider the smel. ter test referred to as tel.Inx the .sle.y--es. llsh> >a>->~-i--as>-r<>~--i --i h<.< mn 331Ir assayed that ran ssS. the best secured. OuteroppIngs went s26.
 "The fact that have been able to find the lead holding out so we'll 500 feet back makes me fe.I the deposit Is extensive.
 "l have been able to trace the outcrop- ings of the lead two miles.
 "The ore Is of such a nature that It could be crushed with stamps right at the mine, thus leaving only the valuable part of the rock for shipment. shall take the matter up with the railroad and see what 1 can do toward getting a rate on the ore from the mine to Skagwav. have all ready obtained figures for shipments bv water from Skagwav, and lf the road can make satisfactory terms may be able to ship at no distant date.
 -Four others have claims on the lead. but have not done as much development work as |. The others are Mrs. Mcclellan, Mr. Freese and Mr. Nieolal, all of Skag- way.
