CHARGED WITH
 TAKING $45OO
Former Comptroller John RiP' finger of Seattle Said to
 Have Been Short.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Seattle, May S-City Comptroller Carroll charges that John Riplinger, his predecessor in office and republican candidate for mayor at the city cleo tion year ago, is a defaulter in the sum of at least $4, 300 and that the sum may reach $2O GOO. The amount can not be fixed, Carroll says, until the books are gone over carefully.
 Riplinger is now in Honduras and his arrest has already been ordered. He went south after his defeat for mayor last year and the course of his travels has been a secret except to a few friends evep since, although 1t was stated that he was in the tropics for his health, which was broken.
 Riplinger was city comptroller four years and could have been elected to a third term. He was candidate for reelection but was practically forced tomake the run for mayor and was defeated by William II. Moore by l5 votes in March 1906. The embezzle- ment charge created a great sensation.

Stick to the Ore

It is stated as a fundamental rule for successful mining, not to be lost sight of until the prospecting stage is past, that it is we'll to stick to the ore. Don't leave it for a moment. Start on it and go down with it. Vertical shafts are enticing, and long crosscut tunnels to tap the vein in depth are as alluring as the song of the siren, and equally as deceptive. Don't be afraid of an incline started on the ore and following it wherever it may lead. An incline may not look so pretty as a vertical shaft, but it will teach one more about the ore than the vertical shafts. The failure to follow the ore with an incline to satisfactory depth has cost success in innumerable in- stances. A tunnel is appropriate only when it may be run on the vein, gain ing depth as it proceeds, or in rare in- stances where considerable depth may be gained, a very short crosscut may be appropriate. But the cases where an incline sunk upon the ore and fol- lowing it down is less desirable than a tunnel are extraordinarily few Mining Topics.

Seattle, May 9 The official bonds of Ex-Comptroller Riplinger in both of his terms of office are missing and an exhaustive search has failed to reveal any trace of them or fix responsibility for their abstraction.
 Citizens are demanding complete investigation of all the city offices for several years back, believing that other embezzlements besides Ripling- CTS may be discovered.
 Riplinger's whereaboutSin Honduras cannot be ascertained today but 1t is believed that he can be located through letters previously sent.
