KETCHIKAN Local Happenings of the Past Seven Days TerseIy
 Told.
FROM TUESDAYS DAILY

Marinko, the slayer of Jack Leav- CTS, has been adjudged insane and committed to Mt. Tabor, there to be held for future trial, should he live and recover his mental balance. Dr. Gillespie, who examined the case while in Juneau recently, stated to a Miner reporter while here that the man was not only insane but in very dangerous physical condition as well. He will be taken to Mt. Tabor on the next down trip of the Humboldt.
 The Cottage City arrived here about o'clock this morning with a damaged eccentric rod, owing to which she had some difficulty in etfecting a landing-being unable to do the usual amount of ''backing and filling" The necessary repair was made at the Northern Machine works the ship proceeded on her way abo ut half past eight,
 Judge DeGroff, of Sitka, was a passenger for Tacoma on the Cottage City this morning. As part of her cargo the Cottage carries 9S tons of ore from the Judge's gold mine on Chicagoff island. In conversation with a Miner representative the Judge stated that the average of the ore thus far shipped from his property has been little better than $125 per ton, and that he confidently expectes the 98 tons now on the way to the shelter to yield equally as good, if not better, returns. He also stated that the Lane Syndicate had failed to take over the property under their bond, over which fact he appears to be rather more pleased than dis appointed.
 Councilman Cornell seems to have cut his aldermanic career rather short. He has gone to Catalla, with out so much as ''by your leave," to the body of which he was made a member only little more than one short month ago-and, report says, will not return again.

FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

Yesterday afternoon complaint was made to Commissioner Stackpole by man named Hunseth, living on the hill just at the lower end of the native settlement, charging his brother, Peter Hunseth, with insanity, and praying that he might be properly and legally cared for. The com missioner ganted the process in such cases made and provided by law, and summoned jury to inquire into the mental condition of the person com plained of, but at the request of the brother who made the complaint, the warrant was not immediately served, the complainant assuring the magis- trate that he could and would take care of his brother until ten o'clock this morning, and then produce him in court. The jury, being present at the hour named and ready to proceed with the examination, and the person complained of not being produced, as had been promised, an officer was sent for him, but soon returned with the news that the unfortunate man had cut his throat, and was not in condition to be brought into court. Doctor Hall, who had been subpoena ed as a witness repaired to the house where the man was reported to be lying, and found that he had made an intellectual effort to sever his wind pipe, using razor for the purpose, and cutting gash about four inches long across his throat, which, how ever, was found to be only little, if any, more than skin deep. The cut did not reach the windpipe or any of the veins or arteries, and the wound is, therefore, not at all serious, though the man had evidently first tried to effect his suicidal intent, by striking himself one or more times in the head with hatchet. The man arrived here on the last up trip of the Princess May, and appears to have come direct from Norway. He is undoubtedly insane, and had to be strapped down, to prevent him from tearing the bandages from his wounds after they had been dressed. The physicians express the opinion that he was insane at, or before, the time he left Norway. He is in no physical danger, and the question of insanity will be officially inquired into to- morrow

FAKE MINING SCHEMES.

The Victoria (B. c. Colonist re-
 ferring to a cartoon illustrative of
 how the public is gulled by advertise
 ments of so-called mining companies,
 which recently appeared in Golfers Weekly, very pertinently and sensibly remarks that these advertisements are printed in the financial colu mns of newspapers which are supposed to be respectable. That they are suc- cessfu in inducing people to part with their money is evident from the fact that the advertisements cost money, and the schemers, who publish them, must get it from some one.
 Out in this part of the world, we are not afflicted with such abominations.
 There is not enough money in cir emulation to persuade respectable newspaper in the West to print the stuff which the leading New York dailies do. If one of the mining fakirs wanted to advertise his abomi- nations in Victoria, for example, he would have to buy the paper in which he wished the advertisement to appear, and it would forthwith cease to be respectable. It is not necessary,
 therefore, for us to say anything here to warn readers against fake schemes, but it may be possible to do little good by stating how such advertisements look to people, who are in a mining country, and know something about mines and how they are developed. In the first place it may be taken as true, speaking gen. erally, that the man who advertises that he has mine with large quantity of ore in sight, has nothing of the kind. If he had, he would not need to advertise. Plenty of money can always be gotten for a prospect which shows that it will become mine with reasonable outlay. A good safe rule for persons contemplating buying stock in com panies, which thus advertise, is the advice given by Punch to those about to marry: Don't" In the next place it is practically impossible in 999 cases out of LOGO to determine anything about a mine until large expenditure has been made. When this has beer made, and the value ol the mine has been determined, if it is worth anyth ing at all, its stock will
The Ketchikan miner., 1907-05-18

never be upon the market for five cents or any such sum on the dollar. If expenditure does not show the mine to be good one, stock in the company owning it is worth nothing at all. For these two reasons, it is a pure and simple fraud to avdertise the sale of stock in company, the proceeds of the sale to be used to de- velop mine, which has already a large quantity of ore in sight. A mine which has a large quantity of ore in sight, has already been devel
 oped sufficiently to get all the capital required for the installation of a plant without advertising at all. If a promoter should advertise that he has a prospect about which he knows very little, except that there is an outcrop of ore, and he wishes to get money to investigate it, and he actually has such a property, the pro- ject is legitimate enough: but the very moment you see an advertise ment in which it is stated that there is any quantity of ore in sight, that is, any merchantable quantity, it is safe to set the whole thing down as a fraud. Another point, which East ern people ought to keep in mind, is that because an alleged mine is some- where in the neighborhood of an actually producing mine, it does not necessarily follow that it will ever become a producer. The chances are the other way; because if it had a first class showing and was in the neighborhood of a great producing property, the owners of the latter would buy it, if they were able.

Total pins 2423.
 By the scores it will be seen that the Bachelors were beaten by 166 pins in the first game and in the second, but defeated their opponents by IT in the third, the total number of pins in the All Stars favor being 153. For the first time in Ketchikan the foul line rule was observed, D. c. Abrams being judge. Many of the boys had been used to walking part of the way to the pins before releasing the ball and the new order of things was rather hard on them for the fisrt few games, but they soon caught on. Burkhart who had been practicing pitching on the hall ground found that his arm was con- pletely worn out so had to drop out after the first game, his place being taken by Sterner. Weatherby made the best average score 1S9 1.3, Rice was second with 182 and Stackpole third with 1sO. Colby had the high. est score 2a2 ia ths third game. --.--

 any of the copper properties in the district since last October, cannot, of course, express any opinioa as to the results of recent development work, but the fact that the shipments are increasing steadily, both with regard to the numher of properties shipping and amount of tonnage, should. in my judgment, be construed as pointing to the fact that very satis- factory results had followed ! in the wake of that development. t."
 Work at the Rush and Brown is be- ing pushed with vigor, and full cargo is now waiting transportation to the Tyee shelter. The only contingency in the way of this mine stepping clear to the front in the way of ship ment in the very near future, will be the lack of transportation.
 The syndicate represented by W. w. Catlin, has taken over the Moon- shine property, under the bond held by it, the final payment having been made yesterday.
 w. w. Catlin arrived from the east this morning and informs The Miner that operations will be con- menced at the Moonshine without unnecessary delay, under the super intendence of Mr. B. c. Bacon. The plan Of development will be by tunnel, which will open up the mine throughout the whole length of the lead, at sufficient depth to give a back of several hundred feet, and thus reduce the cost of mining to minimum. Work on the tunnel will be commenced as soon as the necessary force of miners can be got upon the ground.
 The Mary D. Hume arrived up yes terday morning, towing the barge Case laden with coal and coke for the Hadley smelter. She is now at that place discharging cargo.
 Messrs. W. E. Taylor and Chas. Guzman have group of mining locations in the immediate neighbor- hood of the Uncle Sam mine, upon which they will do some prospecting and development work during the present summer.
 The types made The Miner lie out rageously in its last Saturdays issue anent the amount of copper matter shipped from the Hadley shelter on the Farallon. They should have made it say 265 instead of only 26 tons. But then, mistakes will happen in the best of regulated newspapers.
 The tug Mary D. Hume came in yesterday from Niblack, towing the barge Potter laden with 1,7O0 tons of ore from the mine at that place, consigned to the Tacoma shelter.
 w. E. Taylor is the owner of a group of four locations, adjoining the property of the Sea Island Copper company, Karta bay, on which he has a promising show of mineral, and upon which he purposes doing further work during the summer with a view to further developing its ex- tent and value. The indications are that the district immediately at and around Karta bay will have become before the end of the year one of the most active mining camps in south- eastern Alaska.
