The tolls received by the govern ment from the Alaska cable and land telegraph lines during March aggregat- ed S14,500, and exceeded the receipts for any previous month since the cables were laid.

Finstad's servants were given similar sentence. The men have appealed to the Mexican supreme court. Finstad was one of the luckiest of Klondikers in so far as his experiences there were concerned. He owned No. 43 Bonanza, from which he took fortune. He also owned the Empire hotel and other property in Dawson. Two or three years ago he bought home in Los and acquired heavy ranching interests in Mexico. The American authorities outside claim that Finstad is not an American citizen but a Nor wegian. They investigated the case and watched the progress of the trial be- cause Finstad's servant is an American. The American authorities feel that thus far the men have been treated fairly by the Mexican courts.-Dawson News.
