Makes Generous Offer

Mr.. Bailey is himself very generous
hearted man, and when he learned that
some of the officials in the assay office
at Seattle had stolen large amount of
money from the miners and mine opera
tors he telegraphed from Los Angeles
that he would be one of a number OF
the losers.
He stated last night that the people
of Seattle owe a great deal OF their
prosperity to the Alaskan miners. and
that he had the idea In mind of main
tanning their confidence when he made
his offer, He says that he has. since
received word that this action on the
part OF private citizens will be unnec-
essary, as government officials have
decided to pay all money TO persons
who can prove the amount that they
were defrauded of by officers in the
assay office.
