A STEADY GROWTH

In the history of mining in Alaska, there is prece dent for the position occupied by Hot Springs district
 Last spring year ago gold discovered in quanti ties Sullivan creek that bid fair to put that stream we'll at the head of the big producers in Alaska Previous to that hundreds of had been working surrounding creeks all making good money and paying fair wages But unlike other districts when the of the big strike Sullivan creek made known it was taken mat course big stampede from other districts casoned and men went to work much the all the older creeks.
 Last week pay was found Killarney creek, which, if discovered in the nnoko other localities far moved from the centers of population would have stoned big stampede such occurred last spring.
 And that the secret of Hot Springs There was no stampede there will be stampede The growth of this city and district is the steady growth in keeping with the steadily increasing output of the creeks There is nothing here that ill the least resembles the wild unthink ing rush of the Alaskan stampede to new diggings
 The producing district surrounding Hot Springs at present will easily support town of 500 people, and with the discovery of paytreaks to be found this win ter should be able to provide for at least 500 But these will not with rush, but will drop in few al time, each coming for definite purpose, and not with the idea of getting rich stalking town lots or with the expectation of immediately stalking rich claim
 It is the earnest hope of all concerned in the growth and prosperity of Hot Springs that the past record will bt kept up. There has been big stampede and we want none. In big rush. matter how we'll justified, more are disappointed than satisfied and the disappointed always talk the loudest the result of which is to nst ill others distrust of an otherwise good district.
 the Hot Springs district will maintain the even tenor it has assumed refrain from extravagant boasts and just keep saving wood, the result will be that in short time this city will have population ill keeping with its production and that is uniformly satisfied and pros porous.

One of the Prisoners Formerly
Lived in Newark-Papers

Residents of the Silver Lake section
Of Belleville are up in arms since
Michael Maioran. a wealthy boss car
penter and brother Of Jeraldo Maioran.
the postmaster of the village, who is
the wealthiest person in that section,
received a Black Hand letter in the
last mail Saturday,
The letter was written in Italian. and
commanded Maioran to pay his debts
or die. 1t stated that he would either
be shot. killed by stiletto or burned
to death If he did not comply with the
request within a week.
Maioran became greatly excited when
he opened the letter and read its con-
tents, and he hurried Immediately to
the office of Justice of the Peace John
C. LaFaucherie. in Belleville. and the
letters were translated and Chief
Flynn, of the Belleville police. assigned
five Of his men to investigate and Con-
stables Gorham and Gilman. of the
sheriff's office. also took up the case at
Flynn's request
Arrested BctoIe.
The constables learned from Maiorau
that after he purchased two lots from
his brother, Comincio Faccilongo. s.
years old, a mason, loaned him $500 te
help erect a house. Both of the men
occupied the house and FRANCESCA Ko-
peck. a Polish woman, acted as house
keeper.
Faccilongo. according to MaioraE
wanted to be boss. and both disagreed
time and again. and q month ago Fac
cilongo was placed under arrest and
later when released signed a paper
which is alleged to have wiped out the
debt of $500.
He left the village and was believed
to be living in Newark, but he ap-
peared al the Silver Lake postofiice last
Wednesday and engaged in a quarrel
with Maioran The latters brother
who is also a deputy sheriff, separated
the men and threatened to arrest them.
That was the last of Faccilongo until
he was placed under arrest by Gorham
and Gilman Saturday night at q Val
ley road. West Orange.
Get Expected AccompIice.
When arrested a letter addressed to
the Polish woman telling her Of his
love for her and asking her to leave

The coustables suspected that iae-
tano Laodato, u years old. a shoe
maker, knew something about the case
also. and they went to the West Orange
house yesterday and placed him under
arrest also.
Both were arraigned before the Belle
Vile justice, and Faccilongo was held in
default of $1,000 bail to await the ac-
tion of the Grand Jury, and his COM
