George Howard Birch, manager of

George Howard Birch, manager of the Dan Creek Mining Company, and brother of Stephen Birch. general manager of the Kennecott Mines Co.,, was an arrival on the Northwestern. He spent the winter in New York. He will go by first train to his min ing property, where he has installed big hydaulic plant and expects to take out considerable gold this sea- son.
 George Max Esterly, who has been operating in the Nizina country for a. number of years past, arrived on the Northwestern. He is sending in tons of pipe and other supplies from McCarthy's to Rex and Chittitu creeks, where he is installing a big hydraulic plant.
 There is strong hope that the work mapped out for this season by the Alaska Road Commission may be car ried out. Col. Richardson cabled to Lieut.. Weeks the other day that the Senate committee had included the $125, 1000 asked for in the army bill. The appropriation has excellent chances of passing. The larger DOT tion of the work this summer will be done on the Valdez-Fairbanks trail and the Chitina-Willow Creek cutoff. Several bridges will be con- structed, one over Gum creek be- yond Paxson's roadhouse, and an other across Stewart creek near beaver Dam. The much needed bridge across the Nizina river will probably be constructed this summer. There has been a demand for this im- provement for many years and ow- ing to the extensive mining opera tions going on in that section the bridge is greatly needed. The lack of it has already cost the lives of sev- eral prospectors.

Several years ago the stock of the Hubbard-Elliott Co. was selling at a premium in Chicago. But since then the company has had it's ups and downs, and for some time past there has been no work done at the prop erty, which is located near the Kus- kulina glacier, about IT miles from Strelna, on the railroad. A recent number of the New York Mining Age has the following:
 "The Hubbard-Elliott Company announces in Chicago that steps are under way for the re-fnancing of the company. These negotiations, in fact, have advanced sufficiently for the corporation to postpone its an nual meeting in order to proceed with the deal. The company, above all, needs better transportation fa- cilities, and there is a possibility of Copper River & Northwestern Rail- road building a branch to the Hub bard-Elliott.
 Last year a great deal of work was accomplished at the property, though it was all of an exploratory charac- ter and no material earnings from the sale of ore were obtained. The company is now face to face with the necessity of obtaining additional money to develop this ground, and the management is endeavoring to formulate a policy, which may call for voluntary contribution on the part of the shareholders to the ex- tent of 5c per share. There is still in the treasury 1,S45,0OO shares of stock.
 Eastern shareholders hope that some definite announcement of this kind will soon be forthcoming, as the property has now been under devel- opment for so long time that re- suits should soon be demonstrated one way or the other"

From wire received this morning from Valdez it is evi dent that the Hon. James Wickersham will again be in the running for delegate to Congress- He evidently does look with favor the naming of his dme lieutenant William A. Gilmore of Nome the Republican standard bearer And yet here where Judge might have ceented that harmony that he and his followers always longing for The judge has repeatedly indicated his desire to retire from po ts and when his opponents went the full length of naming his of his former followers the Wckesham ties had it within their power gracefully accept the boon and turn with unanmt of support that would undoubtedly the election of Mr. Gilmore But harmony only be brought about way And that is to permit the Wickershamtes to completely dominate the politics of all Alaska, city we'll as territory.

BORDERING ON A CRIMINAL FARCE

Is any wonder that the collection of the road parts of Alaska regarded outrageous farce? refer to the report of the collections in the Chna precinct will certainly justify the various political parties in designating

Commissioner Heay through his brave and salwar brother Sir Roland and Overseer F. M Schaupp to whom the law allows but 40 Of the law said nothing about the $500 another member of the Shaupp house. hold of $968 to alien Hea But the most remarkable circumstance in connection with the gathering in of the 1911 road taxes in the Chtna precinct the fact that after the money had been appotoned that there should remain hundred dollars the treasury And should not be for gotten that of the money collected $80 was according the report actually expended for the improvement of the roads the precinct The work done by 125 the roads not be charged up against the Heay regime These fused to pay the money preeng to work out the tax Of Healy mad about it, but he dared not throw the men into jail.

 It is to be noted that the Pacific Coast the female has been strongly the side of conservatism They voted down Socialism at Los Angeles and at the election in Seattle where they defeated Gill; they voted down the single tax Of the Socialist and single will concede this be recommendations but larger number of the of the country will feel that to grant female suffrage will not be element of unmeasureabe disturbance
 At all events it is plain that the trend in that direction strong The Ohio Constitution voted by two to sub init complete suffrage to vote of the people next fall Four other states have taken the action namely Wscon Kansas Nevada and Oregon The outcome certain, but the chance good for large addition to the list of man suffrage states.

Injured-Men Jailed.

Brakeman Frank Ely was stabbed
in the stomach, and Brakeman Andy
Sullivan received a cut. about an
eighth of an inch deep and three
inches long, in the right breast. at
the hands Of a pair Of hobos who
were trying to ride on a Great North
ern freight at Arvilla last night.
Ely is in st. Michael's hospital. The
wound was clean, the knife welded
by the murderous tramp being driv-
en- straight in. The injured man
removed the knife from the wound
himself. the tramp taking to his heels
the moment he had stabbed him.
The two tramps. giving William S.
Smith and w. w. Watson as their
names. are in the county Jail, being
captured by Brakeman Sullivan and
several others after a sensational pur-
suit in which the men once turned
on the man whom they had already
Slightly injured.
At Larimore the men boarded the
train. and Sullivan and Ely ordered
them off at Arvilla. Sullivan was
standing or the Arvilla depot plat
form when the train started. The
men tried to get on. and Sullivan
started toward them. Both jumped
almost directly in front Of the brake>
man. and they clinched.
AS the three men were rolling
about in the ditch where they had
fallen from the platform, Ely came
running to the scene One man
turned his attention from Sullivan to
the other brakeman, and as he ran
up. stabbed him. Sullivan already
had received his injury in the hand to
hand struggle with the men.
When the stabbins occurred, both
men started away from the scene,
Sullivan and several others gave pur-
suit in a few minutes. and the men
turned on him. Sullivan was carry
ing a board, as we'll as a revolver
which he borrowed from the depot
agent, and when he reached the clos
er of the thugs, he dealt him a vi
cious blow on the head, laying him
out.
The other man turned on his heels,
and the pursuers took up the chase,
with the result that the man was
caught in a field. throwing up his
hands and surrendering. Both men
were then placed in the caboose Of
the train and brought to Grand
