the Kuskekwin, on the northwest and
southeast respectively. The placer
diggings are accessible in summer by
way of these two rivers, the Kus-
kowin route being considered the
better, as it involves but n transfer
of freight. This route, however, re-
quires an overland haul of 35 miles.
from the forks Of the Takotna a
tributary of the Kuskokwim, to
Ophir, on the Innoko. The winter
routes to the valleys are much short
err as itsslower portion is then frozen
over. In this region, as in many
other parts of Alaska, the expenses
of operation are very high as a
direct result Of poor and inadequate
transportation facilities.
Gold occurs in the Innoko country
in placer deposits and possibly in
lodes, though so far the only pro-
duction. has been derived from the
placers. These are all comparatively
shallow-not more than 35 feet in
depth-and are in large part frozen.
Most of the work already done on
them may be classed as mere pros
pecting of the ground.
The area of economic Importance
lies fear the headwaters OF the In
noko. in a region of low mountains,
and paying quantities of placer gold
have been found on Canes, Little and
Ophir creeks, all tributaries of the
main river. The gold occurs in the
present stream gravels and in bench
gravels averaging about so feet
the streams. Canes Creek is a large
stream with ample water for hydrau-
licking, though the grade is such that
the tailings would have to be ele-
waited or disposed of by some mechan-
ical means. The other W streams
are smaller and there Is some u
whether they contain enough graVei
to Justify the expense of bringing
water for 'hydraulicking from a DIS
| lance. However, a comprehensive
scheme of hydraulic mining seems
to promise most for working the de-
posits of this district with the great
| asst possible benefit. Such a scheme
would involve thorough prospecting
Of all the gold bearing ground UNI
der expert supervision, the bringing
of water from a considerable distance
and the consolidating Of all property
interests. That the last item would
be a considerable undertaking is in
| dicatedl by the fact that about l2Oo
placer-mining claims have been re-
corded in the Innoko precinct. These
| claims ARE located on nearly every
watercourse in the valley.
The total gold production OF the
precinct for 19O7-S is estimated at
$S5 200, of which the season of 1903
is credited with $72,1O0. -Four
claims have produced more than
$4,000 each in a single season but
none has reached $4,000. The In
noko placer gold is very pure, its
| ~fneness being about 0.915.

f. w. HULsE & co. LETTER.

II. w. HOloE 81 ~.
The market opened up extremely
spotted today and lower priced cop
pers were weak and lower. Indus
trials and railroads felt the brunt
of this slight depression much
than the coppers did. The majority
of the leaders sold off a few points
and traders seemed more inclined to
keep ON the short side of the mar
ket than on the long, feeling that
a reaction is about due. Nevada
Con. and Giroux held firm and were
active while Cumberland Ely con-
tinued to slowly slip down to a lower
level. Ely Central and Inspiration
were weak. Mason Valley and In
spiration at the present prices are
both exceptionally good buys. Higher
or lower prices for Ely Central all
depends upon the outcome of the
stockholders meeting. which wasfhd-
journed from yesterday to today.
Boston Ely held firm and was quite
active. The stock is slowly climbing
upward and Boston traders predict
IS for this stock in the next thirty
days.

Held Brief Session.

For the first time since his election
President Martin presided over the
Senate Friday, the body converting at
$50 o'clock and adjourning at 1920
o'clock until Monday morning at $50
o'clock. The principal business of
the session was the consideration of
the newspaper and stamp bill. The
vote was II to 8 for the bill
President Martin, apparently con-
trary to the expectation of the Sen
ate, declared the bill lost. He held
the bill to be an appropriation bill,
and that therefore a two-thirds ma
jority. or "a members, would have to
vote for the bill
Senator Wingos Concurrent Reso-
luton No. 4, to provide for joint
committee to which all banking bills

With The
Legislators
Prohibition Bill Introduced.

House Bill No. 80, to prohibit the
licensing of the sale of intoxicating
liquors in Arkansas, introduced Thurs
day by Mr.. Brown of Cleveland coun-
ty is a statewide prohibition bill,
it is claimed by it's author, and he
says he will not only work for it with
the view of seeing it passed, but has
invited the anti-liquor forces of the
state to join forces with him. The
bill was discussed at meeting at
the Masonic Temple, where Mr.. Brown
said he is for the bill so the finish"
Under the act any person who grows
or raises grain, fuit, grapes or berries
may make wine, brandy, alcohol or
whiskey and may sell the same in
original packages to any registered
pharmacist, conducting drug store
in Arkansas, provided the package
contains not less than five gallons
and is labeled properly.
Mr.. Brown says he intends to push
the passage of the bill because the
bill is favored by his constituents.
He says its passage will prevent an
influx to Arkansas of liquor dealers
from states in which alcoholic bever-
ages cannot be legally sold.
The bill provides that it shall be
unlawful for any person to pretend
that he is a minister and thereby
induce any person to sell wine. 1t
shall also be unlawful for any person
to prescribe the use of alcohol, ETC.,
without first subscribing to an oath
that he is a registered physician. A
club or a club member is prohibited
from keeping liquors at the clubs
quarters, to be used as beverage.
1t is also unlawful to sell wine to
which alcohol has been added and the
governor shall appoint an inspector
| to examine liquors and report viola
| tions of the act to the prosecuting
attorney.
The Anti-Saloon League of Arkan-
sas favors the submission of state
wide prohibition bill to the voters OF
Arkansas in accordance with the plan
adopted in the platform Of the last
Democratic state convention, but 9th
| er prohibitionists in the state favor
statewide legislative enactment.
| He declared that he is not working
| for any anti-liquor organization or
any church, and that he does not pro-
| pose to fight the liquor traffic on
moral grounds, but from a viewpoint
of what he says he knows his con-
stituents demand and what he declares
to be for the best interests of Ar
knasas.

IN THE HOUSE.

The introduction of bills providing
for repositories for state funds, Gre
ating a banking law in Arkansas
identical to the one in Oklahoma,
annullfng the convict lease contract
and ratifying the action of the Peni-
tertiary Board in recalling the safes
convicts from the contractors, for the
submission of the question of state
wide prohibition to the vote of the
1909, and for the appropriation of
$4,000 to be used by the Arkansas
Railroad Commission and Governor
Donaghey in defending the states in
terests in the present railroad rate
controversy, were the features of
Friday's' session of the House.
A special message from Governor
Donaghey requesting the legislature
to officially annul the convict contract
and ratify the action of the Peniten-
tiary Board in recalling the convicts
was also read at the morning session.
MIR. Leigh of Pulaski also intro
duned a bill which provides that i'm
pro cement districts in cities and
towns shall not cease to exist upon
the completion of improvements con-
templated and which makes provis-
ions for further life of the districts.
Mr.. Martin of Yell introduced a
privileged resolution fulfilling the
governors request, to which about
% CONSERVATIVES shouted a second.
Mr.. DuLaney of Little River suggest
ed. however, that the House not go
too fast in the matter and first ascer-
tain the legal phase of the situation.
IF this is being done as an express
sion of feeling, it is all right, de-
clared Mr. DuLaney, "but if it is to
go as law or will have legal status
| think we ought to have some legal
opinion on the correct mode of pro-
cedure." The speaker stated that the
attorney general had investigated the
matter and that doubtless, if the
matter of procedure outlined was not
correct he would have so informed
the House" On motion the resolu-
ton was adopted
Mr.. Martin then introduced bill
the substance of which was identical
with that of the resolution. By unan-
imous vote the bill was read twice
and made a special order of bust
ness for Saturday morning.
On motion of Mr.. Granger of Car
roll, House Bill No. Al was read twice.

WITHDRAWS

NEW BOARD ORDERS SUPERIN.
TENDENT TO WITHDRAW MEN
WORKING UNDER CONTRACT.
INJUNCTION SUIT FOLLOWS
Brick Company Will Mandamus Pen
Tertiary Board to Return All
ConVicts

Little Rockville new Penitentiary
Board, composed of three new state
officers, Governor Donaghey, State
Auditor Jobe and Attorney General
Norwood, and two old ones, State Com
missioner of Agriculture Tucker and
Secretary of State Ludwig, met Thurs
day afternoon, recalled the convicts
leased to the Arkansas Brick and
Manufacturing Company by the state
and reelected John Pitcock superin-
tendent and John H. Page secretary.
Following the action of the board
in recalling the convicts and just as
the board adjourned, it was learned
that the Arkansas Brick and Manu-.
featuring Company had applied for an
injunction against the Penitentiary
Board, restraining it from recalling
the cOnvictS. Chancellor Martineau
granted a tempory injunction.
In spite of the tempory injunction
it was stated that the convicts would
not be worked at the brickyard of
the Arkansas Brick and Manufacturing
Company at the rock cruSher near
the city, or on the construction work
near HaZen, or near Ell Dorado, at
which places convicts worked under
contract Thursday. 1t is argued by
supporters of the Penitentiary Board
that the convicts are at all times
under control of the state because the
state feeds, guards and clothes them.
The convicts at work at the brickyard
are housed in the new penitentiary
each night and unless there is
some change in the boards plan,
they will remain in the prison,
instead of being taken to the brick
yard to labor The prisoners en-
ployed on railroad work will remain
in the prison cars of they are not
brought 10 the city and the prisoners
at the rock crusher will probably be
transferred from the stockade there
to the new penitentiary.
1t is argued that this procedure will
not be in violation of the injunction
and that the brick company will be
forced TO make the next move, which
will be in the nature of mandamus
proceedings to compel the Penitentiary
Board 10 order the convicts worked
on the various contracts.

George Lacey and Jesse Coils Vic
Tins of Efforts to Escape at TilIar.
Tillar-A desperate attempt to es'
cape from Jail made by two prisoners
resulted in their being burned to
death. The men were George Lacey
and Jesse Collins. They had been
confined in the city Jail on minor
charges and planned to escape by
means of fire alarm, it is thought.
The prisoners set fire to the struc-
ture and then cried for help, which
was not answered as promptly as
they had expected.
Their cries gradually turned into
frenZied screams of terror as they
saw the flames getting beyond their
control outside the bars where they
were confined. Before the jailer ar
rived with the keys the building was
a mass of flames and nothing could
be done by the horror stricken per
sons who had heard the alarm until
the keys arrived Then it was too
late and the building was soon con-
sumed together with the bodies of
the prisoners.
