REYNOLDS. TELLS
 0F HIS TROUBLES

Henry D. Reynolds sends to the
 Prospector with request for its pub
 lication statement personal to him.
 self and relative to the affairs of the fcompanies promoted by him. The
 statement is too long for publication
 in full in the Prospeotor, but emitting
 matter descriptive of Reynolds prop.
 erties,a subjecton which Valdez is
 well informed, it is as follows:
 "The only'way thatI can account for the repeated persecution---for to my mind it has ceased to be prosecu- tion--is that interests hostile to the Reynolds-Alaska System consider it advantageous to them to embarrass me.
 "The fact will''be readily recalled that five of my workmen on the Alaska Home Railway were shot down last year, and one of them killed, and later the underwriting contract with the Tacoma Syndicate was can celled under the pressure of hostile business interests, which coming at the time, of the panic last October seriously embarrassed my financial plans, and was the direct cause of the suspensions of operations l.
 "Since last October, I have had ample evidence, of continued hostility to my interests, both personal and corporate, in. every move which I have seen fit to make to protect the interests of my stockholders. .:;..s.. :: "To my positive knowledge not a single stockholder among the 1,7OO in the. Reynolds.Alaska Development Company, or the 800 in the Alaska Home Railway, has made any com plaint against. me; although strenuous efforts, were made by government officials 60 induce them to do so.
 -..."fhe financing of the Reynolds Alaska fDevelopment Company and the Alaska Home Railway was on the cleanest possible. Hines and no mis- statement of facts was ever made with intent to deceive in any litera- ture. That we were disappointed in some of our expectations is but. incl dental to all similar enterprises of such magnitude, but the intrinsic value of our properties cannot be seriously questioned. q ,'; 4
 "l have reliable engineers reports which prove every statement regard ing the mines, their value and the development work reported to the stockholders as having been accom- lished. t. .r- -S .i
 "You will recall the fact that the specific counts in the original indict- ment brought against me were thrown, out by the judge on demurrer on mo- tion of my attorney, MT. William A. Thibodeau. .': '... .'''Ib is strange coincidence, that a new indictment should be found just when l have succeeded in securing the cooperation and dependable SUD- port of gentlemen whose resources guarantee the re-financing, of both the Reynolds-Alaska Development Company and the Alaska Home Rail way, This may be merely a ,coinci- dence, but have been creditably in- formed that orders emanated from Washington, and it will be a part of my immediate duty to ascertain the why and wherefore of such action.p

.H|RSCH DEAL ST|RS
 k. FINANCIAL WORLD

Indicative of the fact that the Hirsch deal embracing mining and railroad properties in the vicinity of Valdez and in the interior reached from this town has created sensa- tion in the financial world, and is ac- cepted as bona fide, is the following public statement issued by William F., James x Co.,, Chicago brokers:
 i've take pleasure in announcing to our customers and friends who are interested in Hubbard Elliott stock that the recent negotiations conducted through our firm between k the Hubbard-Elliott Company and Messrs. l.. Hirsch & Co.,, of London, have now resulted in the contract be- ing accepted and signed by both parties.
 ''The completion of this arrange ment involves the organization by Messrs. l.. Hirsch & Go. of a new corporation with capital stock of $30, ,50O,0OO Besides the Hubbard Elliott properties, the railroad, smell ter, etc., there is to go into this new corporation the big Stewart property (The Alaska Consolidated Copper Company in the Kotsina Valley, and probably other large properties in the immediate vicinity.
 :"Ihe contract between Messrs. l.. Hirsch SS Go. and Amber J, Stewart and his associates, to take over the Valdez-Yukon Railway property and franchises, North Valdez Land Com pany with it's townsito and terminal facilities at Valdez, as well as The Alaska Consolidated Copper Company owning HOO acres Of rich copper property in the KOtGira valley not far from Elliott creek, has also been signed by both parties.
 "About 700 acres of The Alaska Consolidated Copper Company's prop. erty has been exported, and it is con- sidered one of the great copper. de posits of the world The ores are like those of the HubbardE Elliott Company on Elliott creek, and are just as rich.
 "Tbe, consolidation of the mining, transportation and smelting opera tions in this vast area, containing what are believed to be the greatest copper deposits in existence, is of vital interest to the financial world The advent of d firm like Messrs. L. Hirsch & Go. with it's world wide reputation, unlimited capital, i'm. mense prestage and enormous Euro pean clientele, means the opening ur of Alaska.
 Railroad construction there has been impeded for several years bJ ! the efforts of the promoters of tho various lines to secure government subsidy for construction. The activ ity of this new corporation will un doubtedly stimulate the completion of all tue Alaska lines now unde construction by American interests

"BAbY' JOHN ONCE
 MORE IN CALCIUM

San Francisco, Oct 16-That Baby" John Martin, whose caree, since babyhood has been one of lurid publicity, is really the illegitimate son of. the .notorious.P Princess Chimay and the.Gypsy7 fiddler, tRiga, is the assertion that will be made by Mrs. Isabel Martin when she is placed on trial for dynamiting the home of an Oakland judge. It has always been supposed that Baby" John is the son of Mrs. Martin, but the identity of his father has long been in doubt.
 It was several years ago that the attention of the public was first called to Baby" John Martin. Up to that time he had always been considered the son of Mrs. Isabel Martin, society woman of Oakland and was unknown by others than her intimate friends. Then John Martin, a man of wealth and brother to Mrs. Martins husband, died and into the limelight came Baby" John, drag ged there by the woman believed to be his mother.
 Mrs. Isabel Martin scandaliZed her friends by going into court and at tempting, at the sacrifice of her own reputation, to break the will of John Martin, who, she declared, was the father of Baby" John. After one of the most sensational and hard fought legal contests ever waged in California Mrs. Martin lost. She had at first attempted to possess herself Of the estate left by her brother-in- law, by producing what purported to be will by the terms of which she was left the property. It was when this failed, through the will being declared fraudulent, that she made the assertion concerning the pattern ity of "Baby" John. e.
 For long period Mrs. Martin re- mained in a state of quiescence. Baby John grew up to be sickly youth, but Mrs. Martin. always kept him clad in the garments of child, and for years after he was grown he wore his hair in curls. During this period Mrs. Martin refreshed herself with occasional quarrels with her neighbors, once in a while getting into the Oakland justice courts.
 About two years ago Mrs. Martin again bid for publicity by taking Baby" John before the millionaire father of she who was Julia Ward, belle of Detroit, but who later became Princess Chimay, and who eloped with Riga, the Gypsy fiddler. To Millionaire Ward Mrs. Martin de- clared "Baby" John to be the son of the Prince and Princess Chimay, and demanded money as recompense for caring for him. This was refused, and the woman's assertions hatly re- pudiated.
 After that enterprise failed her, Mrs. Martin and "Bahy" John re- turned to California. Months later came the attempt at dynamiting, the arrest of Mrs. Martin her. assertion that Baby" John is the guilty one, and his assertion that the woman he calls mother planned the plot and assisted him in it's partial execution,
