WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-An Ameri-
can Pompeii is gradually being
brought to light, according to the an
nual report of Charles b. Walcott, sec
rotary of the Smithsonian Institution.
Under special congressional appro-
priation the work of excavating a pre-
historic buried city at Casa Granda,
near Florence, Ariz., has been con-

ready a number of structures have
been discovered, but the largest one
eXcavated during the year was a build
ing 200 feet long inclosing a plaza. In
the central room there is a seat called
by the Pima Indians the seat of Mon
tezuma'
The ruins at Casa Granda were
found to be very much none ext-
tensive than was expected. 1t is said
that their permanent preservation is Of
great archaeological interest.
In connection with special researches
DR.. Walcott says that although the re-
sources of the institution are at present
too limited to permit of large grants
for extensive exploration or investiga-
tons as far as the income allows, aid is
given in various lines of research work.

INTEREST IN THE CRASH.

Although no San Francisco investors
held extensive holdings of the stock,
there is much interest locally in the
crash, by reason of the extravagant
statements made regarding the prop
erty at the time it was lrst opened
The stock was sold heavily around
Reno as well as through the east, and
the sales were made principally on re-
ports of Emerson Gee, a mining en-
gineer, who said that the property
was even richer than the Comstocks.
Huge samples of ore, literally alive
with gold, were brought from the
property, and drifts for many feet
showed big values to the naked eye.
Visitors were shown through the prop
erty and on the excitement which fol.
lowed sales were made.
CHARGES OF FRAUD.
A mill costing $4,000 was put on
the mine, and it was then that the
values gave out and charges of fraud
began to be made. This finally re-
suited in an investigation and the af-
fairs of the company were thrown into
| the hands of a receiver.
a meeting of the creditors and stock
holders held at Reno yesterday showed
that the company had outstanding bills
against it for $4,000 or more, with as
sets of not more than $4,000 The tota
, output of the mill was shown to be
something over $4,000, all of which had
been expended. At the meeting a com
mittee was appointed to make an effort
to straighten out the tangled affairs.

WITNESS IN MURDER CASE SOUGHT TEN YEARS COMES OUT OF THE ROYUEUK TO FAIRBANKS

Fatrbanks, September ll-Jack Quincy Hackotr, wanted as a witness in one of the most celebrated murder trials In the West, and who has been sought for 10 years turned up in Fairbanks, passenger from the Koyukuk on the steamer Panama.
 The case in which Qoincy's evidence is so badly wanted, Is that of man named Creamer, held for the murder ol Mr.. Mueller and her child at Bay V.ew, a southern suburb of Seattle in 1898. Circumstantial evidence clearly pointed to Creamer's guilt, aud the only thing that could save him would be the absolute proof Of h's claim that he was in Tacoma at the time the cold b'ooded crime was committed. This, he consistently contended ever since his case came to trial, could be proven If one witness could be found. The wit ness was Jack Quincy Racket, Ac- cordlng to Creamer's story, Hackett left for Alaska the night after the afternoon on which the crime was com miLted.
 The murder had been committed with hammer. The convicting facts against Creamer were that the ham, mer had been found iu his woodshed,
The daily Alaskan., 1908-09-11

and chat ho had been seen sponding considerable money and drinking heav- fly in Tacoma he evening Of the samo day, Cro.,mer previously had liII!o money.
 Creamer's explanation of his pres ence in Tacoma was that he had gone over to say goodbye to Hackett. He had seen Hackett of on the ship and continued the spree.
 Hacke,t has been advertised for in the name of Quincy iu the north, as he became known by the Dame of "Jack Qulne," 7" after leaving Tacoma. When seen here yesterday he declared that he had never heard anything Of the lO.years search made for him until the last few days.
 He fears that he win be Of little service to Creamer, however, as he can recall few of the incidents of his departure for the north, He remem- bers having sailed from Tacoma at the .ime named by Creamer, ard admits ths likelihood of having been in com. pany with Dreamer on the afternoon of the murder.
 Germans here are interested in the case, as the search for Quincy has been maintained largely through the inanc- ial assistance of big German society on the coast. So long was it continued without any success big reward was finally offered for information that would lead to the mans discovery. Whether this offer still stands is not known here.

Il. G. Hall, writing in the August Tech
meal World Magazine, asserts that Prof.
George Poe of South Norfolk, Va, is able
to restore life to apparently dead animals,
his treatment being based upon the we'll
known method of forcing oxygen into the
lungs. For this purpose he has devised
an artificial respirator, modelled in all
respects after nature. It embraces two
small cylinders each having an inlet and
an outlet, with which plungers work sim
ultaneously, and from which tubes are
conducted to the nostrils or mouth Of the
pa tient One cylinder is supplied with
oxygen, and the outlet of the other dis
charges directly into the atmosphere. The
plungers are worked by hand and timed
according to normal raspirat ton. Thus in
one movement noxious gases from the
lungs are drawn into one cylinder, while
the next movement forces oxygen from
the other cylinder into the lungs. This
device has been patented and will soon b
unon the market.

"JACKASS BATTERIES, Z"

Men aad Mules Required fer work
in the Meuntuans.
One of the most interesting organiza-
tions which took part i'll tn, maneu-
vers at Camp Tacoma, Washington, Of
Western troops under General Freder-
lex Funston was the Eleventh Battal-
ion, field artillery, Major G. A. Ben
nett commanding. 0m.
This battalion consisted Of tho Sew
enteenth and Eighteenth batteries,
sometimes referred to as "jackass" bat
terles, says Leslie's Weekly. because Of
the use Of mules. The battery pieces
are transported in sections ON the backs
Of mules. the guns and carriages being
divided into four parts, making four
packs for the same number Of animals.
This enables the batteries to be
transferred through the most difficult
regions accessible to troops, and the
guns can be brought into action in
mountainous country. In the United
States army these batteries are COM
paratively new, but they received thelr
baptism in the Philippines and have
proved their practical value in many
skirmishes upon the cottas and forts
Of the Moros. ....
1t is surprising how rapidly the
mules are unloaded, the parts Of the
gun thrown together and the gun load
ed, sighted and ready to be fired. At
a test Of the Eighteenth battery the
men ran the mules back fifty PAGES,
unloaded and assembled the gun and
fired in forty-five seconds. This was q
worlds record.
The work requires not only intelli-
gent but powerful men. The gun itself
weighs 1856 pounds and the trail the
same, but the men handle the pieces
with ease.
The mules, too, are familiar with
the drill and perform their parts in 8
very intelligent manner. They know
their respective positions, and when the
load Is lifted they Immediately jumI
forward, SO the piece can be placed
directly on the ground.
The gun used in those batteries haa
a range Of from $500 to 1000 feet. II
fires large shell, but has a lowea
muzzle velocity than the larger Hsad
pieces. In design the piece Ia some
what similar to the screw" gun of tha
British army.
