o.. DAWSON, Jan. 12.-One of the most
encouraging results of quartz work in
the Klondike has just been obtained in
the Lone Star property, on Victoria
gulch,, between Bonanza and Eldorado.
The tunnel was run in $50 feet, and
tapped the vein at the 90-foot level.
The vein, which, extends from the sur

samples of free milling rock obtained
show many particles of gold visible to
the naked eye. . ,-r- '-
Confidence over the results OF this
and the Hunker-Dome property, which
also is developed to a great extent, is
so high that Klendikers everywhere

THE BALLIhGER INVESTIGATION

An entirely new light is thrown upon
the. proposed Investigation of the Ball
nger-Pinchot controversy by informa-
ton supplied exclusively tD fThe
Statesman by its special washington
correspondent n
Heretofore the public has understood
that Senator Nelson of Minnesota, who
is to be chairman of theEinvest igat ing
committee, was peculiarly fitted to
serve in a1ch a capacity because of
having mo irons in the fire." All Of
the press dispatches have been%to the
effect that he is inclined to the Pin
chet viewpoint, if anything. D
Facts gathered in Washington by the
Statesman correspot dent show that in
stead of being a wholly disinterested
party to the dispute, as the Ballinger-
ties have represented. Senator Nelson
iss one of the principal characters in
the drama '+''''''. '-----'-'-s''s
AS chairman of a subcommittee OF
the senate committee on commerce
Senator Nelson made report opposing
a progressive conservation policy as
relating to the granting of water power
rights upon navigable streams.
Senator Nelson's attitude oni this
subject was that Of Ballinger. al
against that of Pinchot
Whether Senator Nelson was Eigh
or wrong in his position is not so i'm
portant as the fact that he is preju
diced, therefore unfit to act in th1
capacity of a judge. To uphold Pin
chot's position as to the granting q
waterpower rights, Senator Nelson vii
have to reverse his own finding. .sas

The committee on commerce did
not accept the. Roosevelt position as;
above outlined. Senator Frye, las the
chairman.s appointed a sub committee
of which Senators Nelson was placed at

fir. the slightest degree Weakened by
the action of Senator Nelson's SUB
committee The Nelson report con-
cedes that the government can abso-
lutely regulate the construction Of

forbid it altogether, but it can have
nothing to. say as to how. long the
dam may, be used under private owner

welt notified the committee on com

would veto them. The committee wait
ed patiently until President Taft had
succeeded Roosevelt. Senator Nelson,
acting as a. representative Of the COM

Taft frequently, urging with great
persistence, that the Roosevelt policy
as to the granting of water. power

The reversing of the Roosevelt poll
cy is not the only important feature of
this matter, however. The contro-
versy herein described brings Senator
Nelson into the limelight in a new |
role. 1t shows that instead of being an
entirely disinterested outsider, as has
been represented, he is a fctor in the
Ballinger- Pinchot controversy. If
Senator Nelson wishes to decide fav-
orably to Pinchot, in. the matter of
