ARREST OF SIX MAY END
HIGH GRADERS OPERATIONS
Concentrates Worth $4,000 Stolen in
Three Months Traced to Gang,
1t Is Alleged

+. GOLDFIELD, New, Oct. 13.-By the
arrest of six employees of the Console
dated Mines companys mill, the man
agemenu is believed to have succeeded
in breaking up a alleged gang of high
graders. One of the six men arrested
has confessed and implicated others, 1t
Is asserted.
The alleged leaders in the conspiracy
are: L. H. Dresser, formerly of Mon
tana, and who claims to have been in
the United States secret service before
coming to Goldfield; Elliott Lamb, for
merly of Ely, New, and D. Couture,
repair man who is alleged to have in
vented the system of high-grading.
The company has been watching its
employees for the past three months, as
it was known that considerable high
grade ore has been missing from time
to time, but it was only by finding some
of the men selling concentrates that
the thefts were traced.
Reports from the mints and smelters
during that period show that $21,OO0 of
stolen bullion has been marketed from
Goldfeld.

SCHOONER RESCUES
THREE PROSPECTORS
VESSEL STUCK 36 MONTHS ON
MUD FLATS
Boat Arrives at Port Townsend After
Natives Dig Long Trench to
Float Her from the
Strand

PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Oct 13.
The trading schooner Bender Bros,
which stranded twenty miles from
Bering sea on the mud flats of the
Kuskokwin river, Alaska, three years
ago, arrived here today.
The vessel was salvaged by mission
aries and natives by digging trench
three miles long through which they
were able to get her into water of suf-
ficient depth.
Remote from a settlement and with
out a regular crew Captain John Kna-
fitch brought his command to Puget
sound without navigating instruments
or proper stores and with the aid of a
single seaman and a party of four
stranded prospectors who were picked
up on the river.
Relief furnished the prospectors who
formed part of the schooner's crew on
the voyage to Puget sound constituted
an important feature of the spectac-
ular experience of the vessel in the
north.
In an open sailboat twenty-five feet
long a party of three men had spent
forty-five days traversing the route
between st. Michael and the Kuskok-
win river, a passage of 1000 miles.
They had been ten days without
other food than fish when the schooner
was reached and were nearly over
come with fatigue and thirst.
OF the party H. Buckley of Spokane,
Wash, and Fred Soderburg of Seattle
had been eleven years prospecting for
gold in the interior of Alaska without
having made a visit to civilization.
A small pack of furs and spoonful
of nuggets, not exceeding $40 in value
were the only result of years of hard
ships and constant search for treasure.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1S.-A s4O,-
900, coo bond issue for the full develop
ment of the Lake Eleanor-Hetch
Hetchy water system practically was
decided upon yesterday by the city ad-
ministration following a long confer
ence in Mayor Taylor's office
Another meeting of the authorities
will be held Friday, at which 1t is eX-
pected that the final arrangements will
be made for the progress of the prelim-
mary ordinance at next Mondays meet
ing of the board of supervisors.
The determination to act at once fol-
lowed Mayor Taylor's interview with
Secretary of the Interior Ballinger. The
secretary assured the mayor that as
long as the city of San Francisco ad-
hered to the terms of the Garfield grant
and devoted its attention to the Lake
Eleanor feature of the subject 1t had
nothing to fear from him. This has
been construed as an invitation to go
forward with the work.
