ELECTION BETTING
Indicates That Parker is Gaining
Strength in Wall Street.

New York, July 1S.-Wall
street opened its eyes in surprise
when Jacob Field announced
that he would bet 100000 against
$350,0O0 that Judge Parker would
be elected President of the Uni
ted States. Mr.. Field further an
nounced that he would wager any
part of the amount named at the
same odds.
Sentiment on the street has
been changing daily, the Esopus
candidate gradually gaining in
favor. The prevailing odds on
Roosevelt have fallen from 5 to 2
to 2 to l, and finally to 5 to 4.
Today Roosevelt money was offer
ed freely at 2 to 1, and little of it
was taken by the Parker enthus-
lasts at that figure. Mr.. Fields
big offer, today, at 4 to 7, on
Parker, went begging in the
Roosevelt camp.
It is said that Mr.. Field is will
ing to wager more than 100000
more on Parker, and it is expected
if his terms fail to draw takers,
he may offer even better odds.
On the Board street curb sew
eral offers of 6 to 10 on Parker
were made, but they failed to at
tract much Roosevelt money.
Several bets, some of them run
ming as high as $1,000, were re-
ported on the curb, but these wa
gers could not be verified.
Few actual bets were placed to-
day, although much money was
offered at unaccepted terms. j.
j. Judge reported that he had
placed $500 on Parker early in
the day at odds of 2 to l, Stern
berger, Sin & company taking the
Roosevelt end. A bet of 5000 to
$1,000 was also recorded, John
McCrea & company taking the
Roosevelt end and j. Patterson
the Parker end.
Several small bets were made
that Parker would carry New
York State.

Too Much Knocking.

What Alaska needs more than anything else at present is for its citizens to cease knocking one another and to go to work for the common good of the country and themselves" said R. B. Day, engi- nser in charge of the big Mansfield hines near Juneau, who is at the Cecil en route East.
 "l wish to say right here that the people of Seattle are doing ten times more toward building up Alaska than the people of that ter ritory are doing for themselves, {" MT. Day continued. "They are boosting for a country and trade that may result to their benefit"
 The cause of the dissertation on knocking was brought about by reference to the United States court investigations :by Judge Day into charges against Judge Brown of the Southeastern district of Alaska, and Judge Wickersham of the Northwestern district. Mr. Day continued:
 Judge Day is now up there in- vestigating these charges, has about completed his investigation in the southeastern part of the territory; and l was told by reliable per- son that he was merely amused by the petty work that had inspired the charges. Mir. Day continued: "The only serious charges filed that would merit serious consider ation. l was told, were those made by Judge Hyde, and, although Judge Hyde is one of my friends l must admit that it is generally believed that he is receptive can. didate for the position in our party held by Judge Brown. Personally both judges are fine fellows and ar, worthy members of the legal pro iession.
 ! 'ln the end I look to see tn, petty jealousies and small knock ing from all who have made then exposed. It is the same knockin, game that has been going on in tn mining field, in fisheries and il other industries that should bull, up Alaska. 1 believe the peopl up there should follow the maxim If you can't boost, don't knock Seattle P..I.

.[AhDLO(k bk1 MUCH DEVELOPMENT WORK
 IN PROGRESS pROK|}|Hd OUTLOOK
Ore Shipments Soon to be Made.

Very few people in this portio n of Alaska seem to appreciate the value of the great mining possi- bilities that lie at their very doors practically untouched. The writer has recently returned from a visit to Copper Mountain near Ellamar, and while there visited most of the prospects in that vicinity. On the Landlock bay side of the mountain Putz & Steinmetr have done con- siderable development work, con sisting of tunnel 9s feet long and a drift of 46 feet. Ore has been found in both places, The crop. pings on these claim. would indi- cate the presence of a large ore body and will justify much larger expenditures.
 Dickey is getting much encour- agement on both sides of the bay and could begin shipping at once.
 Rystrom, Dolan & Kief have driven a tunnel more than 100 feet in length and have struck a good body of ore and can easily begin shipping before the first of the year.
 Stoel X Wilson are interested on the south side of the bay and the prospects are very promising. They expect to renew operations in a short time.
 MT. Hugh Murray has let con- tract for 100 feet of work on what is generally designated as the A.. c. Co.'s property. It is the inten- tion to sink on the ore instead of driving tunnels parallel with the vein as did their predecessors. MT. Murray insists that the work al- ready done has been a detriment to the property and that he will have a developed mine and one that is good producer before the end of this year.
 The Bourke, Borgeson X Mont gomery properties are looking fine and considering the amount of work done, only two men working, the showing is remarkable and wonderfully rich. It is the inten- tiOn of those interested to install machinery and work the property on a large scale next year. J. l.. Steele has four claims ad- joining the above claims that have good surface indications, but no work has been done as yet. On the Boulder bay side Wm. Wagner has some very promising prospects.
 Blamey Stevens is at work on the Chas. Rua property and has struck ore in good quantities. Rua, Flatenberg and Conolley are working diligently opening up the main lead on Acclaim group. Experts will be up from the states about Sept. 1st to examine this property contemplating purchase. Capt. Schage of the t amer Santa Ana, Mrs. Ferris and others have properties that show up well
 On the Galena bay side the Mitchell people, now known as the Prince William Sound Mining Co. are still working a number of men and will no doubt continue all winter.
 A. w. Tibbet will commence work at once on the largest sur, face showings on this side of tn, mountain.
 These properties mentioned en circle what is known as Copper Mountain and not one of them Ina, yet proved a blank. Not one O the owners are dissatisfied with tn. showing and very few are for sale
