TUNGSTEN BUBBLE SAID TO
 BE A TAKE
Skagway Hotel Man Taken In-Promoter Writes Himself Telegrams and Gets Free
 Board and Lodging tor Himself

The Rollins tungsten ore bubble has burst, and J. R. Rollins, its promoter, whose name, it is said, long ago ceased to be a synonym for Al, is alleged to have been caught red-hand- ed in attempting to work off on the public a cold, clammy, unadulterated fake.
 For several weeks the people of skag- way have heard various rumors Of a phenomenal strike in tungsten ores a few miles from skagway, on the route of the W.P.&Y. R. Coupled with these has been much mysterious talk of orders from the Krupp's gunworks and other users of the acid derived from the ores. In fact, the thing went so far that several hundred sacks of al- leged woliramite and hubernite were shipped from the deposit Of the so- called ore to the Moore wharf Through it all, ubquitous and yellow legged, J. R. Rollins, the promoter, has carried his load of mystery and his appetite for suckers with as much dig nifty as any of the get-rich-quick kings.

hotel, is probably the heaviest loser in the so-called tungsten ore fake, and he is probably most conversant with the methods of Mr. Rollins. He gave the story to the Daily Alaskan last night, but in doing so stated that it was not his purpose to seek revenge, but rather did he desire to protect the public.
 Mr. Mollineaux said:
 "Alr. Rollins with bis wife registered at the Fifth Avenue hotel, August 24 last. After a few days, he called me into his room and exhibited to me sam ples of rock, which he claimed to be the various tungsten ores. He claimed to have mountains of it. His story seemed all right, and I was induced to pay s2O for a claim.
 MT. Rollins had told me that a min ing expert and ore buyer, August BOl- tone, of New York city, had arrived 10 days before and was going to take 50 tons of ore at s4OO a ton. He showed me the orders for the ore. I subse- quently learned that there was such man as August Boltone, who had been
