Gas For Ketchikan. the first acts of the new council was the passage of an ordinance granting to NJ. E. Martin and associates fran chise for furnishing the town with gas for lighting and heating purposes for period of twenty years from the date thereof. The ordinance requires that the plant shall be in- stalled within one year, and fixes the maximum rate that may be charge d at S1.75 per thousand feet. The Miner learns that it is the purpose of Mr. Martin and those associated with him to organize company, subscriptions to the capital stock of which have already been pledged, and to commence the work of con- struction, laying the pipe, etc., within from four to six months from now. The carburretted water-gas system will be employed as being the cheap est and most desirable of any now in vogue, more of that kind of gas being used in the United States at the present time than other.

THE MINES
What the Mines and Miners of This District Are Doing.-Cheer.
 ing Prospects Ahead.

The very favorable change in
 weather conditions affords promise Of renewal activity in the mining affairs of the Ketchikan district at an early day. Not that there has been any considerable depression, other than such as might reasonably have been expected, only that the unprecedented snow fall has had the effect to retard operations in some quarters during the past two or three months, so that some of the mines have not been able to increase their output to the extent hoped for and confidently expected at the beginning of the winter, while at others, where open-cut mining was in progress, operations were almost entirely suspended. In these last mentioned cases, however, work will shortly be resumed in full force, while it is pleasing to know that preparations are making for the commencement of development work on a number of new and promising which have not yet reach ed point beyond what may properly be called the prospecting stage. In fact. the indications are that there will be twice as many men employed in the mines of the district this year as there were in 1906.

San Francisco, April 4-Prosecutor Heney scored marked victory in his auto graft crusade yesterday when he succeeded in getting Chief of Police Denan to desert Ruef and join his forces against his former partner in crime. Denan is now assisting He ney and Burns with the whole of the machinery of the city police force, and more revelations of startling nature are expected. Ruef is begin ming to squirm as he feels the coils beginning to tighten about him. and has intimated that if he is sent to the penitentiary he will see to it that he does not go alone, but will confess enough to duplicate several of the higher officials of the Southern Pacific system. -. He considers that that road is largely responsible for letting the cat out of the bag, and intends to play even on them. Wm. Herrin. the political manager for that company is the man who has done it all, and Ruef says he can tell enough to place that gentleman behind the bars. Those who have been watching the investigation from an entirley dis interested standpoint are not slow to say that they see in this move of Ruef's an attempt to blackmail these people into letting up on Ruef to keep themselves out of trouble.

The government has been quietly Investigating the holdings of some of the transconti- mental lines but such movement on the part of this system comes as a surprise to the department. It is thought that other roads will follow suit as several others are in the same boat.

It will be noticed, also, that four members of the present council were reelected. The defeated cadidates for the com mon council do not appear to be at all down cast today. It is altogether probable that few months hence they'll be "glad of it," if indeed they are not now rather more joyful than otherwise.

The miners and pospectors are re- joicing over the weather, which now promises an earlier opening of the season than has heretofore been antic- ipated. The rain and wind is fast dissipating the snow on the lowlands, and it is thought, must be operating with like effect on the mountains. It is sincerely to be hoped that their rejoicing may not prove to be pre- mature. But for the snow, which has fallen in unstinted measure dur ing the past two months, there would not be an idle man in Ketchikan.

There seems to be some hitch in the consummation of the plans of the re-organized Alaska Copper company from what cause. however, The Miner can only surmise. This paper has knowledge of the fact that the re- organization was based on the pledge of large amount of money to be de- voted to the development of the prop erty at Copper Mountain and in plac- ing the shelter in first class condition for doing business. and if that money is not now forthcoming the reason can very readily and correctly be surmis- ed either as being due to some un- warranted outside interference, or else to failure of the re-organized company to rid itself of an undesir- able element inherited from the old corporation. Whatever the cause may be the delay is much to be re- gretted. since the reorganization meant the investment of millions of dollars in the development of the mines at Copper Mountain not only, but possibly of others within the dis trict.

There is every reason to believe that the fires at the Hadley shelter will be relighted within week or ten days, to be kept burning brightly, it is confidently expected, without in terruption for months to come. It has a large amount of ore on hand, which is being added to daily, and the only contingency in the way of long and continuous run that can be fear ed, is possible failure to secure a steady supply of coal and coke. In the meantime, operations at the Mamie mine are progressing satis- factorily, with the promise of a steady increase of product until its present daily output will be more than doubl- ed.

The Rush and Brown mine, recog- nized as one of the richest mines in the district. is idle, with from 15, 900 to 20, GOO tons of ore broken and ready for shipment. This unfortunate state of affairs is due to the failure of the Alaska Copper company, which has a lease of the mine, to ship the pro- duct. pending the reorganization of the leasing copmany, and the reftting of its shelter, to supply which, in part at least. the lease was taken. It is sincerely to be hoped that affairs will soon so shape themelves as to bring about resumption of opera tions at this really great mine.
 At the Valparaiso mine surface tramway is in course of construction from the mine to the beach in John- sons inlet. When completed ship ment of cargo of unusually rich gold ore will be made to one of the smelters.
 The launch Onward got away Sun day for Unuk river with scow in tow loaded with the prospecting out fit of the Wells party. The intention of the party is to thoroughly prospect the placer properties they have in the Unuk valley to see if values there actually warrant the installa- tion of modern machinery. They have a machine capable of lifting a core Of 10 or F inches in diameter with which they will cover their ter ritory. With such contrivance there will be no trouble in ascertain ing values. The party, which is from the Oroville, Cal. region, have had plenty of experience in their bus mess, and results are to be expected from their work
 MT. l. H. Rogers, representing the parties who have the bond on the Cracterjack mine, is in town from a visit to that location. It was his intention to put force of from ff- teen to twenty men on development work without delay, but he found the snow too deep to make such an attempt immediately practicable. Pending the ssipation of ihe heavy snow fall he will content himself with making all necessary preparations for the commencement of active mining operations as soon as conditions will permit

Boys and girls, under the age of sixteen years, are now prohibited by ordinance from being on the streets between the hours of 10 p. m. and a. m. unless accompanied by and in charge of competent adult person. The fact of their being so found on the street unaccompanied by an adult person will be taken as prima facie evidence of the violation of the ordinance, the penalty for which is fixed at not less than one nor more that fifty dollars, in the discretion of the municipal magis- trate. Parents, as well as boys and girls, sho uld make note of this and govern themselves accordingly.

Cleveland Ohio, April 4-Labor circles in this city are in a ferment owing to what purports to be an inter- view with Roosevelt in which he classes Debbs with Hartman, and then punches them with Mover and Haywood, and brands them all as anarchists.

San Francisco. April A fire in Potrero, one of San Francicso's suburbs, resulted in the death of eighteen Italians and the injury of twenty more. The fire broke out dur ing the early morning hours in a lodging and boarding house occupied entirely by Italians. When the fire men arrived they found the occupants of the upper stories huddled together like lot of sheep While trying to rescue them several jumped from the third story windows receiving in some cases fatal injuries. The fire men saved all they could find but the building was a maze of crooked pas- sageways and closet-like rooms, and when roll call was called this morn- ing it was discovered that eighteen were missing. The property loss was inconsiderable,

Seattle, April 1.-The old Hotel Washington, for so long one of Seattle's best known landmarks, was totally destroyed by fire last night. The building was being torn down to permit of Denny hill, upon which it stood, being graded down to con- form to the new level on Second and Third avenues. The furniture of the hotel was stored in one end of the bu il ling and was consumed also. The Hotel Washintgon was begun as the Hotel Denny shortly after the Seattle fire during the winter of 1SS9-90. When completed, except the interior finishing, trouble in the company building it resulted in its being tied up in the courts for years, and it stood an eyesore to the people of the city. About four years ago a company organized by James A. Moore, pur chased the building. finished and furnished it and formally opened it as, the Hotel Washington, and President Roosevelt made it his head quarters while in Seattle three years ago. A year ago the change in grade plans of that part of Seattle resulted in the decision to demelish the build ing and erect on its site monster theatre and hotel. This was being done when by some accident it took fire last night making spectacular fire visible all over the city.
