STRuBLe'S REPORT FALSE.
State Banking Law Upheld by SUI
preme Court.

In the case of the state of South Da-
kota, plaintiff in error, VS.. g.. L.. Struble,
defendant in error, which has just been
decided by the supreme court at Pierre
the validity of the state banking law is
upheld in every particular where it is
attacked.
Struble, as cashier of the Egan State
Bank. on demand of the public
furnished that official with Il sworn state
ment of the condition of the bank at the
close of business September 9, 1908. The
statement was found to be false as to the
true conditions and suit was brought
against Struble under the banking law
which provides n penalty of a peniten-
tiary sentence of not less than one year.
Attorneys for Struble demurred to the
complaint on the ground of the unconsti-
%tutionality of the statute, and the de-
murrer was sustained by the trial judge.
The public examiner brought the case
to the supreme court, which has over
ruled the trial court.

DIAMOND IN CAN OF BEsF.
A Sioux Falis Woman Makes an
Interesting Strike.

AS the result of the experience of
Mrs. A. j. Keith, wife of the son of
City Attorney H. II. Keith, of Sioux
Falls, it will not be surprising if many
of the ladies of Sioux Falls occupy a
part of their leisure time in hunting for
diamonds in cans of prepared smoked
beef.
Mrs. Keith purchased one Of the cans
at a local store. and upon opening it at
her home was surprised to find in the can
a small stone of remarkable brilliancy.
The find" was taken to one Of the
leading jewelers., who pronounced the
stone a genuine diamond, worth about
500 dollars. How the diamond got into
the can of beef is a mystery, but it is
thought it may have been a setting in a
ring and dropped off the hand of the
person who packed the can of beef.

COME TO PLANT
 FINNISH COLONY

To establish Finnish colony at Aurora on the western side of Kcnai peninsula, around the head of Kache- mal, bay. three men went to Seldoyia on the Dora. They had just come from the east and will remain at Aurora all winter arranging for the reception of the first immigrants.
 Agents preceding these men have located l5,U6o acres of coal land, which is believed to contain coal of a superior quality, and the veins are }snown to be of vast extent. Not coal mining alone, however, but a%ricul- ture is to be the employment of the Finnish settlers whom the colonization leaders expect 10 bring.
 The three men who passed through Seward are Adam Widenius, Oscar Ullman and J. w. Friedman, representing The Alaska Colonization and Development Company, corpora ton organized by Finlanders in New York. The president of the company is Axel Hornborg, general agent of a Finnish line of steamers plying between the old country and America. Nearly all Finnish immigrants into the United States come to this country under his direction. Many of them come here without definite purbose other than to obtain employment as miners or to acquire land to farm.
 Finnish emigration to America has been very large for some years and it is the intention of Alr. Hornborg and his associates to try to settle as many of them as possible in some new terri tory similar in climate and resources to their own. Southern Alaska issuch region, although it has milder climate than Finland and eXcels it greatly in possibilities of wealth. At least this is the opinion of Prof. Georgesen of the Alaska experimental stations of the department of agricul tme, who in Seward recently in an interview published in the Gateway suggested the desirability of seeking Finnish immigrants for Alaska.
 Mir. Widenius said while here that it k the intention of his company to bring a large company here next spring.

COPPER ASSAYS
 SHOW RlCH ORE
Tests of Specimens from HaShwitney and POrCupine Bay Strikes
 Pan Out Well.

Additional evidence that all Southern Alaska k ring,treakcd and spotted with copper was found this week in assays made by Harry Ellsworth. One was of specimen, from Porcupine bay near thc mouth of Resurrection bay, and the other from the Kashwhime% river. Each showed a good percentage of copper.
 Tine discovery on Porcupine bay was made some time ago and has been known in Seward for two weeks. Eight claims were located by T. J. Harris and $. F. Likes. They uncovered the vein for some diitance and finally had an assay made which resulted so favorably that they filed the location notices of eight claims with the United States commissioner yesterday. The owners report that the lode k several hundred feet wide, with a good pay streak.
 The Kashwhitncy river discovery Is apparently much richer in the per centage of copper it carries. It was made late this summer by F. S. Will Hams and Otto Olson. NIr. Williams came to Seward a week ago and re- ported the find, substantiating his re- port with some of the finest specimens
 
 of copper ore ever laid before q miners eyes. These needed no assay as they were nearly all copper.
 NIr. Williams also brought down a lot of ore of lower grade. This he loft with Mr.. Ellsworth for assay. and the returns showed good percentage. Mir. Williams went to Seattle on the Santa Clara to interest capital there in the development Of his discovery. He is an old Alaska sourdough of the vintage of 1897 and has wide acquain- tance with investors in Alaska mines both in and out of the territory.
 The Kashwhitney iS an east fork of the ShuShetua, and the discovery is about fifty miles north of Knik Arm. It was reported in September on the Inlet and the fact chronicled in the Gateway at the time. Mir. Williams expresses the belief that the entire re- zion is rich in copper.

SOME OMAHA IGNORANCE
Seattle Paper Enlightens Carper
 at Alaska

The Seattle Trade Register takes this fall out of Middle West paper:
 "Thc Omaha Trade Exhibit exposes woeful ignorance respecting Alaska when it says: The gold output of Alaska is estimated for the current year at lO.OOO,OOO not very large figure when the cost of getting the metal is taken into consideration, and when the further fact that gold isabout the only product of the bleak northern territory is considered. The expense of living and the cost of production will certainly more than consume all of the gold produced this year, if We are to believe the stories which come to Us. It would be just as correct to say that Omaha is nothing but a hog pen and immeaSurable filthy, because it has a hog market. Alaska $ fishout- put annually exceeds $20,OOO,OOO in value: it has untold value in copper coal. oil. marble and other products, has large and rich agricultural areas and many sections with abetter climate than many other sections of the United States. The above quotation is the worst of misrepresentation"
