Much interest has been aroused in
mining circles throughout this coun-
try ana England by the news ,hat val
liable tin mines have beM discover
ed in Alaska; not only discovered, but
successfully put upon the market by
! their American owners and bought by
an English company for the sum of
| $4,000 900.
In token of the consummation of
this sale, Charles \. Mau, San
Francisco attorney has just executed
! before the British consul in San Fran
cisco the necessary bond for the
amount named, The mines so dispos-
ed of were the joint property of Mr..
Mau, Julius w. Raphael, ]. P. Flood,
of Alaska, and several others.
The location of the valuable de-
posits made doubly valuable in the
threatened exhaustion of the tin
mines in Cornwall, is described as
scattered on the streams flowing into
Lopp Lagoon, part of Bering strait
in the York region of Alaska. Those
of the claims that are particularly
rich in both tin and gold deposits are
located in groups of eight, or a total
of 2O40 acres altogether, along the
Oakland, Tin, Diomede, Midas, Red
Fox, Washington, Nebraska and Ma
ma creeks. Each group, 1S in all, is
known by a separate name, as fol-
lows: Arlington, Myrtle, Wonder, Bu-
chanan, Lincoln, Garfield. Bryan,
Rhode Island, Nebraska, Mob Hill,
Cleveland, Washington and Humboldt.
For many years nobody regarded
the York region of Alaska as a likely
field for mining operations. Its only
practical use, until some time after the
discovery of gold at Nome, was that
made of it as a government reserva-
tion for reindeer. This was at Cape
Prince of Wales, where there was also
a mission. The rush ~ Nome natur-
ally resulted in an overflow into the
York region, but no immediate success
rewarded these efforts and it was not
: until 1903 that this region began to
receive the systematic attention it
merited.
That tin was in the York region,
however, was known as long ago as
1900, when prospectors in search of
the more precious metal found the
rifles in their sluice boxes filled up
with a heavy black gravel and be-
came so disgusted with its prevalence
that they abandoned their claims.
Other prospectors of greater eXper-
ience soon followed their too easily
;. discouraged brethren, and these later
comers pounced upon the tin deposits
with enthusiastic appreciation of their
worth.
Last year Raphael and Mau shipped
about a hundred bags of the tin ore
from their Alaska claims to Hamburg,
Germany, and expect to hear favora-
bly, from the assaying test which will
soon be made in the smelters of that
city. a smelter in San Francisco is
one OF the prophecies made in con-
nection with the future development
of these deposits, and it is believed
that once the new mines are being
adequately worked the United States
will become an exporter, instead OF
an importer of tin. This will be nc
inconsiderable change, when it is re.
membered that now we use 43 pei
cent of the worlds total output, ol
:. about s24OOO,OOO worth annually.

WASHINGTON, April 3-The presi-
dent has carried out his plans for the
reorganization of the Isthmian canal
commission as to the personnel and
business methods generally on the
lines Of the legislation he suggested to
congress at the last session, which
failed in the crush of business in the
closing hours. Tonight, within half an
hour after the presidents departure
from Washington, Secretary Taft, di-
rectly in charge of canal matters, made
public the personnel of the new COM
mission and the division of duties
among them. Only one member of the
old commission was reappointed Ben
jamn NJ Harrod. Otherwise the COM
mission Is new from top to bottom, for
there is top and bottom, and consd-
cradle difference between the functions
and pay of the commissioners.
Finding he was obliged legally to
appoint seven commissioners, the pres
ident did so, but he carried out his own
plan by making three of them prac-
four. though bearing the title of COM
missioners, not only receive a much
lower compensation, but are assigned
much smaller fields of activity. The
president has also carried out his
scheme of dividing up the work of
canal building among the commission
ers so that, nominally acting as body
,oI, ,,.1
member would operate in a special
field.
The head of the commission is a
trained railway man, chosen for his
administrative abilities in the financial
and purchasing field; the new governor
of the zone is a lawyer. who also has
had to do with state affairs: the en-
glneer commissioner already is known
for his ability in the execution of the
practical work of canal cutting; the
other members of the commission are
placed to comply with the law as to
the number of the commission but are
,, men of high ability as hydraulic en-
gineers. Secretary Taft told them to-
day that they We're expected to show
results, and that is said to be the key
note of the presidents action of to-
day.
Personnel of Commission
The personnel of the new lsthmian
canal commission is as follows:
Theodore P. Shonts, chairman
Charles E. Magoon, governor of canal
zone; John F. wallace, chief engineer;

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3.-The

application for writ of mandate to
State Senators Bunkers, French,
Wright and Emmons who were re-
Gently expelled from the state senate
for accepting bribes to influence their
votes in regard to legislation affecting
building and loan associations.
C. ID. Collins appeared before the
court, sitting in bank. in behalf of the
accused senators, and made an elabo-
rate plea in their behalf. He con-
tended that they had been found
guilty without trial and that the SEN
ate had no power to expel them on an
ex-parte hearing. The power Of the
court, therefore, was invoked to restore
them to their former positions.
Chief Justice Beatty asked IL there
were any precedents for the desired
action. Attorney Collins replied in the
negative He was then asked by the
chief Justice whether or not legislative
bodies had exclusive power over their
own members. The attorney held that
the senate had not arbitrary power
and that the question was one for the
courts to decide.
Attorney General Webb, in behalf of
the state, opposed the contentious of
Attorney Collins and maintained that
the senate had not exceeded its power

OWNERS ABSENCE
Four Hundred Dollars Worth of Gems
Stolen From the Home of Mrs.
M. B. jolly on West Ninth
Street

During her absence from home on a
NJ. B. Jolly, 419 West Ninth street, was
broken into by thieves and more than
$400 worth of jewelry and bric-a-brac
stolen. Just when the place was en-
tered and the valuables taken is not
known, for the owner of the place was
away for several days.
The list of stolen jewels is as follows:
One sapphire ring with diamond set
tings, value 500; one opal and diamond
ring, value $50; one ruby and diamond
ring. value $50; two diamond rings,
value $3.50: watch and brlc-a-brac
worth about $50.
Mrs. Jolly left home March 26 for a
visit to relatives in the country. When
she left she locked the house securely
and left her jewels in what she believed
to be safe place.
When she returned yesterday the in
terror of the house was in a state of
chaos Dressers had been broken into
and their contents were left lying
around on the floor. That the thieves
had no fear of being interrupted was
shown by the thorough manner IN
which the work was done. Every place
where Jewels could possibly be secreted
was looked into, and even the carpet
on the floor was torn up and search
made for articles of value.
Yesterday Mrs. jolly reported to the
police and detectives were detailed on
the case. None of the neighbors on
Ninth street has noticed any suspicious
characters lettering around in the vicin-
ity of Mrs. Jolly's residence and the
clue to the identity Of the thieves is
slight.

STARTS ON HIS JOURNEY
Many Friends of President Bid Him
Goodbye


BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, April g. - With
cheers and good wishes resounding at
the Pennsylvania depot, the president
at 9:05 a. m. today on a special train,
started on trip through the south
west.
Among those at the station were
many friends of the president, includ-
ing Postmaster General Cortelyou and
| Secretary Metcalf of the department
of commerce and labor.
| The special train, which is one of
the finest the Pennsylvania railroad
has ever run out of Washington, con-
sists of three cars, the presidents pri-
| vate car Rockdale, the Pullman sleeper
| Forest and the combination baggage
and buffet car Viceroy. Attached to
the train, to be run as far as Baltimore
as buffer was day coach. The
train is handsomely fitted and contains
every known appliance to insure the
comfort and safety of the passengers.
The train was scheduled to leave at 0
O'Clock, but it was a minute after that
hour when the president arrived at the
station. He had been delayed at the
White House for few minutes in sign
ing some important papers. Even
after he boarded his car some papers
were handed to him for his signature.
1t was just five minutes after the
scheduled time of departure when the
train drew out of the station.
In the party, besides the president,
are Secretary Loeb, Gen. S. b. M.
Young, DIR. Alexander Lambert, Lieut..
G. r. Fortesque, one of the presidents
aides; M. C. Latta and j. l.. McGrew,
stenographers to the president; H. A.
Strichmeyer, photographer, and repre-
sentatives of the newspaper press as

tonic, Tex, next Friday, and to hunt
big game in Oklahoma. and Colorado.
incidentally the president will deliver
addresses at several places en- route.

where he will be the guest of the city
for a few hours. He will go directly
to st. Louis, and thence via the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas railroad to San

the way, among them Sherman and
Dallas, Tex.
After leaving San Antonio the pres
ident will go TO Oklahoma for a wolf
hunt, and will proceed thence to Colo
RADIO to hunt big game in the noun
tains. Unless it should be necessary
on account of unforeseen circumstances
to curtail the trip, the president will
be absent from washington about two
months.
Definite plans for the trip after he
shall leave Oklahoma have not been
made, the purpose of the president
being to adjust his plans to the con-
ditions as they may exist at the time.
While he expects to be In the wilds of ,
Colorado for a considerable time, he
will keep in constant touch by means
of couriers to the nearest telegraph
station. with Washington, and thus
will be enabled to attend to such inn |
