DffACING A BUII DING.
A Peculiar Case That Held Q Jury
 All Yesterday.

lt was creeping toward 10 o'clock last night before the jury of twelve could de- eide the merits of the question in regard to the ten by twelve shack on Second and Main so long occupied by Mrs. Unger- froren.
 The case was the United States against Hugh and Fanny Ungerfroren. J. N. Murphy and A. J. Klnskv and Attorney Dav appeared for the prosecution, and At. torney WlIeoxen for the defense.
 It appears that the Ungerfroren's ob- talned this building with the consent oi the owner, Thos. Berry, without rent ol any agreement, and that, under bad advice they believed they owned lt and had start ed to improve it.
 The jury found that Mrs. Ungerfrorer alone was guilty, but recommended her tc lenieney. owing to the late hour, Com missioner Sehlbrede reserved judgment until today.
 John Hlslop IS charged by the Ungerfro' rens with removing building from thl' same property. This case will be tried to day. and Mr. Hislop will plead that he dlt SO remove the building as agent for tho owner, Mr. B.rry

FISH IN THE RIVER
Anglers Having Great Sport Both on tho River Banks and From tho wharves = Suggestion of . New Industry Here.

Fishing Is the great out-Of-door sport of Skagwayans today. Skagwav river Is lined with anglers of the old school, using fine rods and lines and with small boys al d hazel switches, In quest of the bull trout. Many fine catches have been made.
 Those fishing from the wharves with ordinary hook and line are catching tom cod almost as fast as they can pull them out, and some who have the more exten- sive equipment are taking In big catches of herring.
 The bay was literally black along the end of Moore's wharf Sunday with schools of the Swarming herring One man Is said to have caught one hundIed pounds of these fish off the Seattle wharf a few days ago with no other means than lath with Sharpened mills protruding from the sides. with which he impalet the tsh, the way the Indians in Puget Sound waters take herring.
 One Of the most notable industrial ad- vances in southeastern Alaska this spring has been in the building Of numerous new salmon eanneries, and it Is SuggeSteu bv some that there is great opportunity here for the establishment of a sardine eannerv. One enthusiast, though possibly not an expert. says it has been possible here the past month to catch tons and tons of her ring right in Skagway bav.
 C. w. foung, the Juneau merchant, who is in the city, e,lls attention to the fact that there Is an establishment at Kill lisnoo which catches great quantities of herring and makes of them oil and fertil lzer. but that t has been learned there by experience that the herring appear in that vicinity in large numbers only once in about three wears or so. Whether that is the case as 10 other places along this coast frequented by herring, Is not knowu.

WHITE HORSE MINING
Development Work Now Being
 Done fin That District.

Taylor Armantrout. the Skagway trader on returning from a business trip to White Horse. gives an interesting and eneourlg' ing report as to the progress m develop ment of copper properties in that district He says:
 "Dev.lopment work Is progressing on several of the properties. Those of which gained a knowledge are the Grafter, the Rabbits Foot and the Anaeonda, within four miles of White Horse.
 "The tunnel which Is being made Into the side of the AnscOnda has been run lr Ias feet. including a erosS>eut This tun- nel was begun 100 feet below the original ou,erop, and has already run Into a good ledge of ore twelve to fifteen feet wide, The ledge Is. however. thought to be only feeder to a greater and better ledge There is no water in the tunnel.
 Two shafts have been sunk on the R,bbit's Foot. One shaft Is down twenty five feet, and the ledge has proved to bc from eight to ten feet wide, and the orc asSavs from six,v-hve 10 seventy-tiYe pei cent. in copper.
 Fifty tons of ore from the Rabbit: Foot are on the dump, and will be shipped out for a shelter test just as soon as the railroad reaches White Horse, which, 1t |: expeeted will be next June O. July. A good trail already leads from White Horse to the mine, and a wSgon road is to o' built.
 "The Ansconda and Rabbits foot aT' owned by Wm. Plunkett, Ole Dixon, w. r. o'Nelll and Charles Ward, all formerly of Mt. Vernon. Wash. The Rabbits Foot was located last summer and the Anaeonda the year before
