CAPTURED IN OAKLAND.
Dan Hahn, Who Beat a Butte Bank
Arrested Today.

Chief Of Police Lavell received a tele-
gram this afternoon from Chief OF Police
s. c. Hodekins of Oakland, Cal, that he
has arrested Dan Hahn who is wanted in
Butte for beating the State Savings bank.
Chief Laveli will at once get out the
necessary eXtradition papers and make
the trip to California to bring the
offender back
II appears that Hahn and a young car
penter named John Gilroy became ac-
'uuainted in Wisconsin and the friendship
was renewed in Butte. On December 10.
Hahn went through Gilroys trunk and
took from it a certificate of deposit and
presented it at the bank for payment.
Hahn and Gilroy look very much alike
and the cashier readily paid out the
money thinking that Gilroy was the per-
son presenting it. The theft was discoy-
cred some time later and the case was
placed in the hands of the police Hahn
was traced to California and word was
sent to all centers to be on the lookout
for him with the result that he was
captured today. The telegram from the
Oakland chief states that Hahn has ac-
knonledged the theft of the certifica tie
of deposit, and 1t is possible that he
will be willing to make the return trip
without extradition papers.
The bank is the loser in the transact
ton. as the ana1ssnt of money drawn gu.
by Hahn was made good to Gilroy.

little difficulty in adjusting the salary
question.
1T does not require much considera-
ton to convince one that necessarily the
officer cannot holl Office exactly two
years. The supreme court Of California
in comparatively recent case had oc-
casiOn to pass upon an exactly similar
statute. 1t says Indeed, under the
statute fixing the commencement and
term Ination of the terms Of county Off
GERS it can never happen that term
consists of precisely two years, it being
sometimes more and sometimes less; and
therefore the provision fixing the COM
pensation at an annual sum should be
construed as fixing the rate Of compen-
sation to be paid for the time the officer
actually serves. This construction will
do exact justice between preceding and
succeeding officers, and not Increase the
burden borne by the people,
I'VE are, therefore, Of the opinion that
the outgoing officers We're entitled to
draw their pay up to January !, and that
the PRESENT officials are entitled to draw
theirs from the eth. We find upon IN
Vestigation that the outgoing officers two
years ago drew pay for the first month
from the LIST of January, although they
did not take office until the 4th. The
payment of said salary from the list to
the 4th was, therefore, Illegal"

The county attorney then quotes the
law on the proposition and continues:
I'VE are also informed that it is the
custom of the board to allow all salar-
les, except that of the county attorney
at the first of each month. We fin.l no

a result Portland will be a Grand Trunk

The Grand Trunk management states

the terminal facilities in Montreal ar.
altogether Inadequate to meet this ex-
pansion and the Grand Trunk managers
have felt that the only alternative left
in order to insure the prompt shipment
of the traffic is to get a line of steamers
to handle it at Portland
Among some shipping men it is stated
that the delay in the construction of ele-
v;ttors and terminals here has infu-
enced the company in this decision to
make Portland allthe- year round port
This may be true to some extent, but the

OPERATIONS OF
THE RECEIVER
GENERAL HARRIS REPORTS THAT
PROFITS WERE SMALL
LAST MONTH.

John s. Harris has filed his tenth
monthly report of his receivership of
the Snohomish and Tramway mines and
1t shows that during the month of De-
cember the mines earned $i4.56
The receipts for the month were from
2,926.24 tons of secOnd-class ore, valued
at $14, 1852 The expenses We're $14,-
26O.76, made UP as follows: General ex-
pense, $2,011.77, which includes S1,22S 90
as taxes; court expense. 500; Snohomish
mine expense, $10,551.S4; Tramway mine
expense, $1,597.15. On December / the
amount of money on deposit was $119,-
1887, and on January l, $l19 21s.53.
In his concluding remarks the receiver
says:
The ore of the old Snohomish mine is
practically worked out on and above the
4O0-foot level.
"We have opened up a new vein in
the SnOhOmish which we call the new or
north vein. We have run a crosscut to
it from the 400-foot level, and it is inn
proving and shows UP well. We conf
IDENTIFY expect to make good profits from
it in the near future.
THE profits for the month have been
small owing to the necessity of paying
the usual taxes for the year and the ex-
pense of the Tramway.
THE work on the Tramway has been
prosecuted Vigorously. We have run
the crosscut 124 feet and passed through
vein matter and are now drifting on the
vein and taking out some second -class
ore. We believe from present indica-
tions that we can very soon make an
excellent showing and feel assured OF
making good profits therefrom.'
Mr.. Harris gives notice that he will
ask for confirmation and approval OF
the report at 10 a. IN. on February is.
