 TIbrrg was arrested in a Seat tlr hotel in September. 1910 by Deputy Marshal Warren. on a charge of having robbed the Pio- n""r Mining company of Nome of Sfi,O0O in gold dust. The details of the alleged robbery as they were set forth in the complaint combined lo make one of the most unusual charges ever presented in inc northern territory. At the time of Tibrrg's arrest. Inc agreed in waive rxtradilion. aft"r S5,36O in currency and a check for 5000 had been found on his person and claimed as tho profits of inc alleged theft. When Inc vessel came to sail. however. Inc refused to go; and navigation closed before "XtradiIion papers could bc completed.
 In the meantime Tibcrg had ap- pealcd first 10 Judge Ronald and later to Judge c. IT. Hanford for q writ of habcas corpus, both ap- pcals being denied. When the cx- tradition papers from Governor w. F.. Clark of Alaska finally ar rived they were found by Judge Hanford to bc faulty, and he an nullcd them: but issued bench warrant in order to hold Tibcrg until new papers could arrive.
 Tibcrg appealed tO the circuit court of appeals in San Francis co, and for two weeks was given his freedom on bonds aggregat- ing S5,000. When the second cx- tradition papers reached Seattle, Judge 1Ianford held them to br good: and TibcrE was taken back into custody.

GAN GUT WOOD
 ON RESERVE Mineral Locations Can be Made on Resurrection Num-
 Der One

Mineral claims may be lncal- ed and timber cutting permits may be issued on Alaska reserve number one, Alaska"
 The foregoing is an official an- nouncrmcnt from the l.. <. land department at Washington. D. G., in response to a letter of inquiry sent by \. J. Jaffa, special agent of the land department, now in Seward. Since MT. Jaffa's arrival here several days ago, he has been piled with queries as to the status of this reserve. For the information of persons concerned he wrote the department.
 Alaska reserve number one was made by executive order Dcccm- bcr ,, 1911, under inc act au- thOriZing the president to with draw certain lands for certain purposes. While not officially so staled, il is generally understood that this withdrawal was made in connection with the plan of d g0rcrnmcnt-owned railroad sys- lem from Seward to the Yukon river and the cstabli: hmcnt of a naval base on Resurrection bay. The limits of the reserve, which follow, would indicate that it was for no other purpose:
 "Bcginning at the norlhcrn- In"st point of Day harbor, thence runhing due north tO the south crly line of said Ghugach nation al forest to point which is due north from the nOrthernmost point of Aialik bay; thence due south to said nOrthcrnmost point of Aialik bay, BIying sound, Res urrrctiOn bay and Day harbor to the point or place of beginning, together With all islands within the limits of Resurrection bay. Blying sound, Aialik bay and Day harbOr."
 The statement from the land department clears away much doubt and uncertainty which has hitherto prevailed. Especially important is the announcement that mineral claims may be To- cai"d. As to timber cutting Inc status is unchanged from the regulations effective before the reserve was made. The usual stumpage tax of 25 cents per cord on wood for fuel purposes maintains, and the tax on piling or timber for lumber purposes remains as before.
 The reserve, however, prevents the location of homestead en- tries within it's borders.
