The labor difficulty has been solved so far as the leading mining operators are concerned. They have solved the problem by closing down on all prospecting and concentrat' ing what non-union force they can secure on the claims where they are extracting gravel They have de termined to do no more sinking, or to open up no new shafts, and ii more men could be obtained ohey would not now employ them.
 This is the gist of statement made to Gold Digger representa- tive this morning by Ed. Fleming secretary of the Nome Mine Opera tors Association. In all there are about 175 non union men now at work, in the different camps, and these are about all that will be need ed, with the exception of few who mlA... q ,...,! -a by small opera tors, who are working only two or three men.
 Mr Stevenson, manager or the Pioneer Mining Company, yesterday determined to close down on al! prospecting work, and to centralize his forces. He issued instructions to his superintendent to employ no

It is now practically certain that the new trail from Panama to Nome the survey for which was made last summer, will be built. Major Rich ardson, commander in chief of the Alaska Roads Commission, has se- cured an appropriation of $250,0O' from congress, for the purposes ot building wagon roads in Alaska, and it Is known that the direct trail which will lessen the distance be- tween the two places by about two hundred miles, is one of hIs pet measures.
 That the commission is extremely anxious to get this road through is we'll illustrated in a letter received on the last mail by W. l.. Goodwin, superintendent of the Nome division 0f the commission, from Capt. Pills bury, cnief of the engineer corps. The letter instructs the local super intendent that two maps of the sur Jey have been made and forwarded md that as soon as these arrive in Nome, he Is to dispatch two engin- 4ers from Nome to the Koyukuk and make an examination of the country. The object of this examination is to determine the best possible winter .rail from the Koyukuk to Council

 The Wild Goose Company has 45 men working on their different claims, and instructions were Is sued to the different foremen yes terday to employ no more men. The claims on which prospecting work was being done, have been closed down for the season, and as in the case of the Pioneer Mining Com pany, the men have been central ized on the claims where pay Is be ing extracted.
 Andy Anderson, the Center creef operator, has twenty-three men al work, and as this number is as many as he can conveniently handle. he will employ no others for this sea son at least.
 The claims in which MT. Elem ing Is interested are being operated with non-union crews, and all of the men needed to successfully operate the property have been secured.
 Several camps are working from three to seven non-union men, and all declare that they will manage to get along under the present condi-

from the end of the trail on the Panama river.
 The distance to be covered by Engineer Jones and his assistants is about six hundred miles, and after leaving Council they will travel through a totally uninhabitsd coun- try till reaching the Koyukuk river An extra dog team will be sent with them as far as the head of Norton sound, in order to haul a sufficient amount of supplies to sustain the party till the journey Is accomplish ed.
 An allotment of $3,5OO has been made by the commission for this work, and Mir Goodwin states that this amount will be sufficient to GOV CT the expenses of the journey, and the salaries of the engineer and his assistants.
 Major Richardson's object in sur. veying and building this trL. Is to shorten the length of time consum- ed in conveying mall from Valdez to Nome during the winter time, as well as to open up that section of the country through which the road passes to prospectors. If the trail is completed, it is estimated that 1t will shorten the time of delivery of Nome mall by about ten days, and letters will then be received here about thirty days after LAey are post ed in Seattle.

 They will probably start from Nome on Monday next, and MT. Jones, the engineer in charge, is in- structed to examine 0 winter route from Council, down t-e Neukluk river, thence easterly to the Koyu- kuk river, endeavoring to find a lower crossing of the Tubon ,ulok divide than that of the survey, while at the same time, seeking a route, protected as far as possi-.e Oy tim ber

tions until the opening of navigR- tion. All of the operators who were engaged in prospecting have sus- pended operations for the winter. and many of them are arranging to have their work done by drilling next summer. Orders for a large number of Keystone drills have been sent to the outside in the last malls, and it is believed that ten or twelve of these labor-saving appliances will be here on the first boats.
 Many of the operators who had taken options on property with view of prospecting them have had their time extended, whle others have forfeited their right of pur- chase. Those who had intended sinking shafts for prospecting pur- poses this winter, have been making a careful investigation of the utility of the drill, and are well satisfied with the work done by these ma chimes. It is claimed that the drill will save everp particle of gold con- tained in the gravel through which it penetrates, and holes can be sunk by this method for less than one dollar per foot, while the cost of sinking q shaft to bedrock with steam points and @ boiler Is more than ten times that amount. It Is true that the shaft offers the oppor- tunlty to drift on the bedrock, but even where ten shafts can be sunk at the cost of one, much greater

W. L. Goodwin, the superlntend- ent of the Alaska Roads Commits sion, has received a letter from Ross A.. Kinney, the well known engin
 ger, who had charge of the construc- tion of the road to the third beach pay streak last summer. MT Kinney states that he has been dabbling in the real estate business, and has made a little money, but had given up the business to take a position with MT Clapp, the engineer-in. chief of one of the principal rail.

STATEMENT BY BRAMKAMP

There is movement on foot
among the local physicians to place
before the people of the county gener-
ally, literature showing up the var
ious fraudulent proprietary medicines
with which the market is. being flood
ed. This expose of worthless most
runs will be accomplished through
the medium of the series of articles,
which recently appeared in the col
ums of Golfers Weekly. The funds
for the payment of the expenses of
such a campaign will be contributed
by the physicians themselves.
In speaking of the matter last night
DR.. a. l.. Bramkamp, who is one of
the leaders in the movement, said
that of course many persons would
be inclined to question the motives
of the physicians in case the idea was
carried out under the mistaken i'm
preston that it was done to subserve
their own interests from a financial
standpoint. He said this was mis-
take for it was not intended to be
fight against all patent medicines,
but simply that class that were
frauds, of the first water. The doc
tors had nothing whatever to say
against meritorious compounds sim
ply because they were patent medi-
cines.

BADCOCK'S BILL PASSES
GOVERNORS PET MEASURE
II Was introduced at the Request of
Chief Executive-Futiie Attempt is
Made to Postpone Action Thereon
Until Friday Afternoon.

indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 27.-The
Babcock insurance bill, which is the
measure introduced by Representative
Babcock, at the request of Governor
Hanly, by vote of 54 TO Al, passed the
house shortly after four O'Clock this af-
ternoon. The bill had been made a
special order at four o'clock this after
noon, and its calling up had the effect
of starting an effort of the part of
those who are under the impression
that the Babcock bill favors foreign
life insurance companies. Represent
ative Olive made a vigorous effort to
have consideration of the bill postpon-
ed until next Friday afternoon, but
was unable TO create a feeling suffl-
ciently strong to carry a motion asking
delay which he made.
The bill was defended by Mr.. Bah
cock, who made charges that those OPP
posed to real insurance legislation
We're back of all efforts to secure delay
and he insisted that action be taken at
once. Speaker Branch called Repre-
sentative Condo to preside and going
on the floor, made forceful effort in
behalf of the passage of the bill.

Statements of Sister.
EVANS CROSS-EXAMINED
ALIENIST FOR THE DEFENSE is
ABLE TO HOLD HIS OWN, DE-
CLARING THAT THAW is NOT
INSANE AT PRESENT.

New York, Feb. 27.-There were inn
portant developments today in the
Thaw trial as affecting District Attor
ney Jerome's future conduct of the
case. By recalling Evelyn Nesbit Thaw
to the stand to question her about a
conversation with her brother. he in
dicated that he intends to put Howard
Nesbit on the stand to contradict his
sister as to material fact. She de-
MED positively that she had ever told
Howard that Thaw had treated her
cruelty because she would not tell lies
about Stanford White.
Mr.. Jerome further stated that he
would call as witness for the state
in rebuttal, DIR. Allan McLane Hamil-
ton, who for time was employed as
an alienist for the defense. DIR. Ham
ilton's last public statement was to the
effect that he believed Thaw to be still
insane. Mr.. Jerome also said he
would call DR.. Bingaman, the Thaw
family physician, as witness for the
state. He was prevented from cross
questioning DR.. Bingaman today as to
hereditary insanity in the Thaw family
by objections from Mr.. Delmas.
Alter A1TS- HdN anu LII
had testified briefly today, DR.. Britton
d. Evans was called for cross-examina-
ton. DIR. Evans is one of the princi-
pal witnesses for the defense, and
there were indications that the district
attorney intends to make his examina-
ton a most thorough one.
Mr.. Delmas was constantly on his
feet with objections, which Justice
Fitzgerald in nearly every instance,
sustained. The judge further warned
the district attorney that he was TAX
ing too wide a latitude.
The cross-examination of DR.. Evans

tered by Mr.. Gleason, who at that time

Mr.. Delmas announced that the 6e
fense will be finished this week.
