LINCOLN COUNTY
OFFICIALS SHORT
IN THEIR AC.
COUNTS.

\ report was handed in to the board
of Lincoln county commissioners at
Phoebe ON September 9th, by II. f..
Prudential an expert accountant
whome the county had employed. The
report was a severe censure on some
of the county officials in so far az
there was n shortage in the treasur-
er's account TO the amount of s345922.
shortage of Sl229.ss occurs between
~1he first of January of this year and
,the 9th of August, and the settlement
between the outgoing treasurer and
the present incumbent, II. j. Good
rich, was 5000 p short of what the
funds called for on January l, 1905.
The report states that while the
county treasurer has all the funds on
deposit with the National Bank of the
Republic of Salt Lake, Utah, no ac-
count was evey deposited with the
bank. The statements submitted
by the treasurer every month has
been accepted as correct. The re-
port shows that the cash book has
been dispensed with in the treasurer's
office since June l, 1902.
There has been no arrests made in
connection with the report, but the
commissioners at a previous meeting
appointed the son of the present
treasurer to take charge of the office,
with the power to sign checks in the
place of the legally elected official.
1t is feared that there is going to be
a greater shortage, for the reason
that only a very small part of the
books had been exported. The board
at the session just adjourned authori-
zed the clerk to advertize for bids to
audit the books of all county offices
from 1896 to date.

Embryo Coal King Fails to Pay Miners and They WaIlOp Him
 to Square Account,

Development of A. F.. Dickcrman' ., coal fields on Chignik bay proceeds slowly and internationally, in the face of great discoupagements. No sooner does Mr. Dickerman get a squad of men to going right than they discover that he has no money to pay them, and they quit in disgust.
 Hence it is that Mr. DickGrman has not yet got his coal mines developed to he shipping point, although he has mad several gangs of men working in chem at irregular intervals in the past two years, without any cost 10 himself That iS, not any money cost.

Talks SO Smoothly

Mr. Dickcrman ha, smooth. self bling tongue and an excellent com nand of the promoters vocabulary, which has enabled him 10 secure several small cargoes of laborerS for his Chignik coal mine, upon no con- ,idcration beyond glittcring promises. His last success in that direction wa- late in the summer just past, when he induced Seward carpenter who had saved $3OO to invest it in provisions fol, party of miners who were 10 work at Chignik and quickly uanSmute black diamonds in shining gold coin.
 After month of arduouS digging under the stimulus of NIr. Dickcrman : cheering exhortationS and rainbow promises one of the toilerS conceived a singular hankering for the sight of some money. There was nothing he could spend it for al Chignik except tobacco, but he yearned 10 hold it in his itching palm.

ACTIVE WORK All
 READY BULLION
0. II. Sleeper Describes Opera lions to Open up Great
 Copper Property.

Work at the Ready Bullion copper mine on Lynx creek will proceed every hour of the coming winter. Three cight-hom shifts will continue to bore the long tunnel on the second level which will reach the vein 1000 feet from the side of the mountain.
 This vein has already been croSs-cut 500 feet higher up, and drifting both ways has revealed an ore body which all who have seen it pronounce one of the most marvellous copper deposits ever uncovered. The ledge where the tunnel strikes it k 300 feet wide, with a pay streak hlccked out which would keep the mine shipping for years. This upper tunnel k 36O feet long.
 The tunnel on the lower level is de- signed to reach the ore to better ad- vantage, and it is also believed tha' according to the rule in similar depos. it, the ore will be richer and the pa! streak wider as greater depth is at. taincd. The first tunnel is only few hundred feet from the summit of the hill. where the apex of the vein lies.
 Achieves Wide Notice
 The Ready Bullion mine has at tractcd as much attention in the past year ar any mining project in this part of Alaska. and it's fame has caused it 10 receive considerable attention in the newspapers and mining publications on the outside. although it is not yet a shipping mine. Copper experts who visited it said months ago that the de- velopment work then done took the property ou. of the list of experiments and established it as mine which could safely begin shipping at any time.
 Late in 1903 the Ready Bullion was located by Nathan P. White, who is now suporintendent of the work. He immediately enlisted the interest of O. II. Sleeper of Exeter, New Hamp- shire, owner of valuable gold prop erty on Bear creek, who had been coming 10 the Inlet region every sum- mer since 1898 10 direct operations on the latter The following year con siderable development work was done on the Ready Bullion, and in the spring of 1905 thirty men were put to work.
 Keeps Tab on Work
 AIr. Sleeper came to Alaska in July thi, year, md remained at the Ready Bullion until this week, when he came to Seward to go out for the winter, sailing on the Bertha for Seattle. He will return about April 1, and the scale of operations then will be greatly en- larged. The lower tunnel iS now in more than 200 feet. It is being driven at the rate of four or five feet day, and the vain should be struck about May. The dip is inward, which adds to the distance of the ledge from the surface, aS well as the slope of the hill.
 As soon as the ledge is reached in the lower tunnel attention will be given 10 blocking out the ore bodies by drifting, and few months later the mine will be prepared to ship. Atpre- sent only a trail leads to it, but branch of the railroad can be run up Johnson creek from the main line on an easy grade. or a frst-claSs wagon road can be made over the same route.

Asks RGde Question

"What tell did ye bring Us out here fur" rudely inquired the miner.
 Just keep right on working" urged Mr. Dickerman, "WeIl be shipping pretty soon and then we'll have money to burn.
 'I want to burn some money with out waiting for people to burn your coal. ." suarled the grumbler.
 The rebellious laborer called eau GUS of his fellows and the microbes of insurrection multiplied. Mr. Dicker- man was called into council and as sailed with harsh epithetS and injuri- ous reflections upon his probity. His oratory had lost it's spell aud in the midst of his pacific uttcrances one of the victims coarsely suggested:
 Guess we'll have to take it outen his hide"
 The motion carried unanimously un- der suspension of the rules, and Mr. Dickerman was freely butfeted by his hirelings until they stopped to take breath. Then in order to engraye the recollection of the circumstances deeply upon Mir. Dickerman'S memory those iIl-bred persons bent the promoter in an ungraceful curve over log and with large, hard board endeayored to metamorphose their displeaSure into a profound physical impression. Each took ten whackS at his discredited en- ployer.
 Leave Promoter Alone
 The carpenter soaked a diamond ring for his fare back to Seward. The miners told their plight to the captain of the Shclikof,s which had the Dora $ trip to the westward in October, and he took them to Unga, where they went to work in the mines for real wages. One of them came to Seward this week on the Dora. He says Dickerman Is broke and in bad standing with the cannerymen at Chignik. The promo ter wanted Captain Moore to bring him away on the Dora but the cap tain had heard his history and told him he could ride cn the boat when he had the price.
 Thus it is that the embryo coal king walking the wave-washed beach at Chignik in gloomy solitude, like Napo- leon at St. Helena.
