CONNECTING HALL WITH
 GOLD DUST ROBBERY

Dawson, Dec. 2-pick Hall, charged with stealing s4O,OOO in gold from the mail while enroute from Fairbanks to Seattle, was before E. c. Sneaker in the police court this morning for furth- CT preliminary hearing.
 Malcom Nicholson, gold dust buyer and expert for the Canadian Bank of Commerce, was on the stand, and told of the sale of gold by Hall at various times at the bank. The first gold Hall sold at the bank was bought August l6, IS days after the robbery of the m ssiag gold from the mail, The value or sum paid for the gold at that time was s643. August q Hall sold the bank gold to the value of $l,622; September 5, to the value of S1,727; September 6, to the value O! .sl,795; September IS, S2,955; September 26, $2,O24; October ?, F3,I77; October '. sl,955. Three days after the last mentioned sale Hall was arrested. The total weight of the gold he sold to the bank was 1905 ounces. It seems from what the prosecution has brought out, that all of the sales Hall made were to the Canadian Bank of Commerce.
 The fnepess of the gold obtained from Hall ran from 8O6 to 847. The unopened can of Lold found under the Dawson school house ran S37. The dust which the crown is endeavoriug to prove was used to adul,erate the Fair

banks dust, is supposed to have come
 from Sulphur, and to have been bought chiefly from Shaw & Spenner, who who have Sulphur store, and from
 Barton Brothers, The fneness of the Sulphur dust runs about 800. The crown brought out e point today that the Fairbanks dust contains red sand or red oxide which can be pounded from the gold, and which is not in any KlondiKe dust, and that the last lot of gold Hall presented for sale to the bank showed signs of red oxide.
 Turner Townsend, janitor of the Dawson public school building, testi- fled to having been present when the police discovered the missing gold sacks and other articles under the school bui ding. He also testified that he had seen Kincaid at the school building twice at noon in September, and that Kinkaid had expressed surprise at Townsend being around; Kincaid had stated he was looking at the foun- dations of the building, and that Kin caid had requested that some of the doors be left open so that Arthur Bird, a carpenter in the employ of the gov ernment, might go into the basement to repair the building. All the evil dence was ctrcumstantial and along the lines of the above.

1t has been definitely learned today
that plans looking toward the early
beginning Of construction work on the
Lewiston end Of the Huntington Lew
iston construction are now being per-
fected and that active work will prob
ably be inaugurated within a few
weeks.
The matter was before the board OF
directors of the Commercial club at
their regular meeting today, but the
movements of the contractors have
been attended with such a degree of
secrecy that full information relative
to the plans is not yet available.
Representatives OF large contractors
have made an inspection of the line
from the Lewiston end to a point
above the mouth Of the Grand Ronde
river and negotiations are now. being
carried on by the contractors for the
construction of gasoline engine to be
used in carrying supplies from Lewis
ton to upper river points, where camps
will be- established.
A report from Huntington, Oregon.
where work was inauguratei S.veral
weeks ago. states that active work is
expected to be commenced at the
Lewiston end during the early sum-
mer and the view is entertained IN
Huntington that the main center Of
supplies for the work wiz lie located
at Lewiston on account of the heavier
work being at the Huntington end
where more time will be consumed in
f'~e""h the rock wallis OF
the box canyon.
The work from Lewiston will be
comparatively light work for consid-
erable distance and It Is the purpose
Of the railroad company to cover this
portion Of the contract as early as
in order that the heavy rock
