TAXES PAID IN MARCH
Exact Figures Will Not be Known
Until March q.

March taxes are not all collected
but the books in the county treasur-
er's office show that $15l ,O62.SO is
now in the cash drawer. The reason
for the remainder of the money not
being collected is the fact that the
rush of last week has not given the
office force opportunity to count the
money that comes by checks from a
distance. In this division will be
found some large sums. The rail-
roads, telegraph companies, etc, will
have checks in this division. The
exact collections for the month will
be known probably by April 4. On
Monday, the 9th, total of $l5,597.-

other one days collection by several

ALASKA HAS TIN
IN FAIR QUANTITIES

Any report of tin production in
North America, which is not re-
nowned as source of this much
dedsired metal. is sure to attract
notice. however small the achieve
ment may seem. One mine in
Texas, during the last year, furn-
ished the only continuous out put
of bullion that this continent has
record of; but word is now re-
ceived Of the apparently successful
beginning of tin dredging in the
Buck Creek district. near Cape

which arrived at Seattle last week
on the way to Swansea, is taken
to indicate permanent establish

run of a modified gold dredRe was
completed last month, the product
for less than thirty days being
placed by one authority at 10 tons.
The value Of the Seattle consign-
ment of SO tons is placed at about
S47, 900.
An apparently reliable statement
places the cost of the dredging
equipment at less than $4,000,
notwithstanding the machinery
was hauled twelve miles from sea-
board over the tundra. Thus the
initial cleanup exceeds the outlay
for equipment. A further inierest-
ing point is that the dredge also

FIFTH VICTIM OF

first thought would demand,

guilty to the complaint filed
against him and donated his SlEO,
which was the amount the fine
imposed upon him by Judge H. H.
Atkinson. and was let free.

us where the Tonopah court got
its authority TO punish these men
for misdemeanor when section
one of the anti-gambling law
makes playing poker a felony and
fixes the penalty at from one to
five years in the penitentiary? As
we understand the Tonopah cases,
the men were caught playing
poker and were charged with that
offehse and not with having gamb-
ling tools in their possession as set
forth in section three of the act.
This section fixes the penalty for
its violation a fine of not less than
SlOO nor more than $500. or i'm
p.isonment in the county Jail not
less tn N one month nor more than
six months, Cr by both such fine
and Imprisonment. If the Tono-
pah gamblers were arrested for
violating section three of the anti
gambling law, the action of the
court was in accordance with the
law, but such is not our under
