UNcLESAML0SES
ALASKA COAL
OVER HUNDRED MILLION DOL.
LARS INVOLVED IN
SUIT.
CASE Will Be DROPPED
GOVERNMENT HAS LITTLE HOPE
OF WINNING FUTURE
CASES.

Seattle.-The government lost its
first battle in the effort to punish the
alleged fraudulent locators of Alaska
coal lands.
Judge Cornelius H. Hanford, In the
United States District Court, in over.
ruling the motion to instruct the Jury
to acquit Charles F. Munday, E. E.
Siegley and Archie Shiels, sustained
all the vital points contended for by
the defendants.
The ground on which the court re-
fused to grant the motion to acQuit
was not raised by counsel for either
side in the suit, but by the Judge him.
self.
1t leaves the government so little
room to stand ond that 1t is said to be
practically assured that the prosecu-
ton will be dropped.
The lands In question are the Eng.
lish, or Sir Edward Stracey group.
They are the most valuable coal lands
In the world, being richer even than
the Cunningham claims. Estimates Of
their value range from one hundred
million dollars to a much larger sum.
The defendants. together with Alger-
non Stracey, brother OF Sir Edward
Stracey, were indicted at Tacoma last
fall, charged with conspiracy to de.
fraud the government. Stracey re-
mained In Vancouver, B. c., and avoid.
ed arrest. After the jury had been
completed counsel for the defense
moved for Instructions to the Jury to
acquit the defendants.
The argument of the attorneys for
the defense was based almost en-.
tirely on the contention that the 1904
law applied to Alaska coal claims in.
stead Of the general land law OF 1873,
while the attorneys for the govern.
ment insisted that the prohibitions Of
the law Of 1878 should be read into
the law OF 1904. Inasmuch as the
law of 1904 In terms permits the as.
signment Of coal claims, the defend.
ants counsel argued that 1t was not
illegal for the defendants to agree to
assign their coal claims.
Furthermore, defendants counsel
contended that II 1t were legal for a
locator to assign his claim, it was
equally legal for any person to buy
as many Of such assignments as he
could pay for, thus removing the very
foundation from the Indictment upon
which the defendants were indicted.
"A foreign corporation" said the
court, cannot lawfully acquire or
hold coal claim in Alaska, eithe;
in its corporate name nor in the
name of any agent or trustee. There.
fore, for the reason that the indict.
ment charges a conspiracy to acquire
coal claims or proprietary rights to
coal claims in Alaska for a foreign
corporation. 1t must be sustained as
a valid indictment and the objection
to the introduction OF evidence must
be overruled. 49,.
"The court will, however. instruct
the jury that to justify a conviction
of the defendants under 1t. the evi.
dence must prove that the object OF
the conspiracy. II any, must have
been to perpetrate fraud by secur.
ing coal claims or proprietary rights
In coal claims In Alaska for the Pa.
cific Coal and OIL Company"

pels the inference that II there is any.
thing more valuable than gold in this
state, 1t must be water. In seventy
water districts. embraced in five di-
visions Of the state, there have been
within the last two years, 2,297 ditch
filings. carrying a total Of 334.297 Gu

The Moffat Tunnel,

Senator Cove is in receipt of the
following telegram from John A. Por.
ter Of Denver, who Is on the Pacific
coast IN reference to the tunnel and
its construction:
"The passage of pending tunnel bill
In Colorado Legislature is certainly of
the greatest Importance to Denver and
the entire state. Judging by many sur.
veys made by the Motfat road, 1t would
seem very unwise to limit the length Of
proposed tunnel to five miles when
cne approximately mile longer could
be located at the most advantageous
place considered from both an engln.
eerlng and financial point OF view. A
tunnel entering the Divide almost In
direct line from Tolland would avoid
possible competition from a deeper
one. would materially shorten distance
and avoid climbing on maximum grade
winding line from Tolland to mouth
Of a five-mile tunnel. The state should
not hesitate at additional cost 10 OBJ.
tain safer and more far.reaching In.
vestment.-John A. Porter"
The opponents OF the tunnel have Sc.
cured an amendment to the bill that
would defeat the purpose, requiring
the Moffat road interests to deposit Sc.
curities with the state to guarantee
the tunnel bonds. And this in addition
to the provisions already in the meas.
ure making the voad itself security for
the cost OF construction.
With the recommendation that they
be placed before the committee Of the
whole for favorable consideration and
final passage. the bills making the
State Normal school at Greeley 3
teachers college and providing for a
normal school training as a condition
to the granting Of certifictes by coun.
ty superintendents, were reported by
the Senate committee on education
and educational institutions.
BY a vote Of twenty TO fourteen, the
Senate ordered the hybrid bank guar.
antee law on the calendar for special
consideration. This bill is mixture
Of Senator Gove's measure for a rigid
banking code and Of Senator Crowley's
bill to enact the mutual bank guar.
antee act Of Texas. The measure was
reported favorably by the banking
committee three weeks ago. When the
,eport was made. 1t was stated that a
motion would be made to strike from the
hybrid bill all Of the Texas bank guar.
Antee features and to retain the Cove
provisions which seek to. make bank
guarantee rest on sound banking op

VAST PRODUCTION or GOLD
Last Years Addition to Stock Of tho
Precious Metal Surpassed
Az Records.

The worlds production Of gold has
a definite and well-understood infu-
ence on prices. Consequently there
is not little comfort in the cheerful
information that last years additions
to the stock Of the precious metal
surpassed any previous record. Some
Of the figures are surprising, Mex
leo, until recently on a silver basis,
furnished 1924, 100000 in gold to the
general supply. Siberia, that mystic
rious land of such vast mineral re-
sources, yielded large proportion Of
the new Russian gold, which had a
total value of $33,O00,000.
Australia and New Zealand are so
far from having exhausted their gold
fields that the antipodean mines
were third on the list with $67,000,-
900. Second place was taken by the
United States was about $96,000,-
900 of new gold; but this was little
more than one-half the African pro-
duction, totaling close to $177,OOO,-
900. The dark continent, where ira
dition and a large body Of archeolog-
ical opinion assigns the land Of
Ophir and King Solomon's mines,
gave up virtually 40 per cent. of the
total output.
Of this treasure the mines Of the
Transvaal yielded about $160,O00,-
900, Rhodesia almost $13,OOO,OOO,
and West Africa less than $4,000
900. From all sources there was an
aggregate gold production for the
year of $466, 100000.
