GROSS FRAUD IN
A mining DEAL

DETROIT, Feb. IA warrant
will be asked for Monday by Assist
ant Prosecutor James A. Robinson
for the arrest of DR.. J. Byron Sloan,
formerly of this city. now living in
Pasadena, Cal
The proceedings arise from the
collapse of the old Dos Cabezos gold
mining venture, in which DR.. Sloan
induced 9 number of Detroit people
to invest. 1t is said that the total
amount put into this scheme by local
investors is close to $175,00O.
DR.. Sloan became interested in the
Dos Cabezos gold mine and set up a
separating apparatus in barn at the
rear of his residence here. He sep
arated the gold from the ore of the
Dos CabeZos mine, using a bath of
quicksilver for the purpose The
golden returns were heavy. indicating
that the pay streak in Dos Cabezos
property was veryr ich.
On the strength of this showing
and on reports from the mine Itself
Detroiters put in their money
Subsequently the investors began
TO suspect trouble. Finally the Dos
Cabezos ceased to be attractive to in
vestors and gradually dropped from
notice The Detroit investors KEEP
their own counsel for the most part
concluding that Dos Cabezos. like Sc
many other mines, had failed to par
out. One prominent business mar
OF this city was out $500. Other,
with small sums put all they ha'
into the venture and found them
selves penniless.

JURY UNABLE To
REACH VERDICT
(By Associated Press

CLINTON, H., Feb. 1.-THE jury
in the Smell $2,0O0,O0O will case,
was discharged late today, being UNI
able to reach verdict. Richard
Smell, the contestant, announced that
he will ask for new trial of the
case at the May term of court. The
suit to break the will of Col. Thomas
Smell, was brought by the aged and
eccentric millionaire's son, Richard
Smell, president of the Clinton bank.
1t has been rife with sensations, chief
OF which were the Smell letters, ;
written by women and young girls to
the old man, who was willing to pay
lavishly for being loved and for being
told so in observation-disclosures let
tiers, in which were appeals for money
mingled with expressions of endear-
ment. When Col Smell died in June,
1907, he left an estate of $4,000, 900;
| to his son Richard he left only. an
annuity of $50 year; to his grand
| niece he left property valued at $685.
600, and an annuity of $1,000 a year.
The son brought suit to break the
! will on the ground that his father
was insane about women.

him in the movement to have the
bank open its doors for the resump-
ton of business, every depositor will
get dollar for dollar of his deposit.
This new movement has nothing,
whatever, to do with any of Mr..
Rickey's plans. 1t must be thor
oughly understood that we would
not undertake this for one moment
had Mr.. Hickey been in a business
way connected with the State Bank
and Trust Company. He is down and
out and his influence or suggestions
can have no weight, whatever, in the
present reorganization.
We realize perfectly that deposit
tors have been very patient up to
now; we also realize that they have
been imposed upon by the misrepre-
sensations of Mr.. Hickey. We recog-
nize the fact that Mr. Rickey's atti-
tude has excited suspicion, and that
any movement connected with the
State Bank and Trust Company
might be met in a similar attitude
of distrust. We are hopeful, how
ever, that the fact that Mr.. Hickey
is no longer connected with the
State Bank and Trust Company
having been forced TO assign every
share of stock in the institution to
the bank-will at least set aside
some of the suspicion.
1t is enough to state that the pro-
jectors of the new movement are go
ing ahead absolutely in good faith,
and upon a strictly business basis,
and that they are hopeful of saving
every cent of the depositors' money,
if the depositor will do his part in
signing up the agreement.
1t might be stated in passing that
We do not desire in any way to inter-
fere with any criminal prosecutions
now pending, or to be commenced
against anyone connected with the
bank. These matters will undoubt-
eddy go ahead under the charge and
supervision of the States prosecut-
ing officials. 1t must be admitted,
however, that whatever the result of
these prosecutions might be, the de.
positor will still have his interests
jeopardized unless some method is
devised by which they may be saved
We believe that We have the method
1t is up to the depositor to assist ua,
as assistance in this regard, and our
work, will not interfere in any par
ticular with criminal prosecutions.
Each may go hand in hand.
| expect in day or two to again
return to Tonopah, and at that time
there will be further information
given. We expect to be frank with
the depositors, for there is nothing
which so nearly inspires confidence
as an exact understanding of all the
details involved in transaction.

ATTORNEYS IN
clever SCRAP

RENO, Feb. II. = Ex-Supreme
Judge Massey of Nevada took the law
into his own hands this morning in
the office of the county recorder and
delivered a thrashing to Attorney J.
B. Dixon. Blood flowed freely from
DiXon's nose after the affray had
been stopped by Deputy Sheriff Bran
don. although Judge Massey showed
no visible signs of the melee except
extreme excitement.
The encounter was the culmina-
ton of bad blood which has existed
between the attorneys for several
months. On several occasions when
they faced each other as opposing
counsel they have almost come 10
blows and been severely reprimand,
ed by the court This morning dur
ing an interim in case in the Dis
trict Court the attorneys retired to
the county recorders office and the
battle broke out afresh There be-
ing no barrier in the way by the
presence of the court, the meeting
soon took the semblance of a fish,
encounter. and II was furious while

STRIKES GOLD IN
DIGGING A We'll

PALO ALTO, Cal. Feb. 17.-Peter
Peterson made a discovery of gold
late yesterday afternoon at his place
in College terrace near Mayfield, on
the old Boitano homestead, which IS
arousing a great deal of interest and
has turned many of the inhabitants
of the staid city of Mayfield into am
ateur prospectors. Peterson was
pumping out bored well in order
to fit it for use. and while doing so
pumped up a quantity of gold bearing
black sand
Peterson took the samples to G. L..
Seybolt of Mayfield who is an ex-
perienced miner, and Seybolt's ASSAY
showed the samples to have a value
of 500 per ton. The well is 80 feet
deep, and in the hope of coming
across good gold values Peterson is
preparing to sink shaft 10 feet
square alongside his we'll A number
of traces of placer gold have been
found in this section lately, y. w.

ing deposit of black sand in one of
the creeks near the Page mill road.
Investigation in that case did not
show enough value to warrant work
and the deposit was abandoned by

WASHINGTON. D. C.-NotWith- standing the strength. numerically at least. of the moyemnt for territorial government in Alaska. it i- as certain as anything can be that congress will not act on the question this winter. There are two reasons why inc move mcnt for territorial government will rat one of these is tho senate. and the other is the house.
 President Roosevelt has more than once been interviewed ol the subject of home rule for Alaska. but he has never gone farther than to say that he believed the federal odiceholder- should be selected. as far as possible, from among citizens of tho territory This rule has been evident from the exceptions that have been made 10 it, rather than by the general observance or it. Certain persons have said that Mr. Roosevelt favored territorial form of government. but that is not SO. He may be convinced If the wisdom of the plan at some future time but he has not yielded up to this time.
 Congress has never been prone to re- gard the wishes of the people of Alas ka. and neither branch of il is any more willing to listen to tho demand of the Alaska people on the territorial question than on any other. In the senate. as long as Senator Oville II. Platt. of Connecticut lived. there was one unalterahle opponent, even to the project of having Alaska represented by a delegate in congress. Senator Spnoner, of Wisconsin. was of the same mind. although when the delegate bill came up in the spring of 1906 he offer ed no objection.
 Opponents of the Spooner type still in the senate are opposed to a terri torial form of government for Alaska on the ground absolutely untenable, in the opinion of many enlightened per sons) that a territory. organized as such. would imply future statehood; and they are opposed to carving states out of those parts of America which are detached from the nation proper Yet an exception was made in the cast of Hawaii and there is not a doubt ir the world that Hawaii will, at some

future time he knocking at Uncle Saw'~ door for statehood.
 The argument in the senate is con stitutional and one of tradition In the house the argument is that Alaska is too sparsely settled, stretches over too wide an area, and has too small a total population to make a fully organ izod form of territorial government ad- yisable. To this is added the claim that the real property interests in the territory are not yet large enough to stand the expense of a local govern ment. All these arguments. although denounced by many of the Alaska pco- plc as spacious, prevail to certain extent in the senate, as well as in the house of representatives
 Representative Tawney of Minnc- sota. chairman of the house committee on appropriations, and one of the real leaders in the lower house of con- gross. is in Washington. He thinks hr knows something about Alaska. for he has visited the southeastern part of the territory along with Speaker Cannon and other members of the house. who betrayed a startling knowl- edge of things they hadn't seen. when they got back. MT Tawney thinks that territorial form of government is out of the question at present, and in this he k in full agreement with Speaker Cannon.
 Perhaps the greatest obstacle which the friends of territorial government will have to encounter this winter (and in future winters if Mir. Cannon lives) Is the chairman of the committee on rules in the house. That committee chairman is Joseph c. Cannon. of Illi- nois. and he is as uncompromisingly opposed to the movement for territo- rial government as he is powerful tc prevent it's successful consummation | Of course. Gov. Hoggatt's opposition
 to the territorial idea is strong fac 1 tor in the fight which the Alaska l home rulers are waging; but it is to h,
 doubted that his attitude is responsible
 for the fact that the territory car hardly expect any favorable actiol
