Alaska now has an Indian reserva-
ton, established recently by an ex-
ecutive order of President Taft.
The reservation is in behalf of the
young Indians of the Hydaburg viii
lage, who have under the direction of
Charles Hawkesworth, of the govern
ment Indian bureau, established the
model Indian village on SULLIVAN
island.
The reservation includes twelve
square miles, or 1888 acres. 1t en-
braces a point of SULLIVAN island, a
small portion of Prince of Wales is
land and half of another in the strait
between Sullivan and Prince of
Wales islands.
The conditions of the reservation
are of course different from the reser-
vations for the plains Indians, and is
merely intended to protect the In
dams in the use of the land. Under
its terms the reservation is open to
any Indian, and they may come and
go at will.

NEWS Of NE|GHBORHOOD

The news comes from Fairbanks
that four coal claimants, the last of
eighteen that staked in March, 1906,
before President Roosevelt issued his
order of withdrawal of coal lands in
November of that same year, are ap-
pealing from the decision of Com
missioner Fred bennett of the gen.
eral land office to Secretary of the
Interior Walter E. Fisher in the hope
of being able to obtain their patents.
Commissioner bennett turned
down these applications for patent
on the ground that the applicants
had not developed a producing mine
or mines, as is provided by law; not
because the claims were not stake6
in time or because they were more
valuable for other purposes, or be-
cause there was any hint of combi-
nation or fraud
In their affidavits the coal land
claimants did not contend that they
had opened producing mines. holding
that nature already had opened the
mines, some of the veins included in
the locations on Hoseanna Creek or
Ignite Creek of the Nenana River,
sixty-five miles southwest of Fair
banks. being thirty feet thick. At
some places there is a total thickness
of the coal seams, all of which lie
horizontal, of 1923 feet.
In their brief to the secretary of
the interior the claimants point out
that the law of April IS, 1904, which
invited the location of the coal lands.
was not intended to work a hardship
or to bring about oppression which
would prevent the poor man locating
and getting title to coal lands. This
is what would occur if the decision of
Commissioner bennett given July II
of the present year holds, for only
some extremely rich company could
bear the expense of building a rail-
road and transporting machinery to
the mine to open it up.
Further, the regulations of the de-
partment positively state that the
locator shall not mine and sell any
coal before he gets his patent.

SEATTLE, Nov. 25-Last weeS
two important coal hearings were neld
before Andrew L. Christensen, chief
of the field division of the inferior
department, who acted as special
commissioner for the government
Special Agents H. Stanley Hendricks
and H. ]. Atwell of the interior de-
partment came from Billings. Mont.
concluding a trip as far south as san
Francisco and around through Deu-
yer, Col, where testimony has been
taken concerning the Chezum and
other coal claim groups. They repre-
sented the department in the local
hearing. This testimony will be for
warded to the register and receiver of
the general land office at Juneau,
Alaska, who will pass on the merits
of the case His decision will be sent
to the land office commissioner at
Washington, D. c., for final approval,
and the claims will be either can
celed or confirmed for the claimants.
Eleven claimants are involved,
among them several Seattle persons.
Squire c, Chezum himself is a resi-
dent of this city and was witness
for the defense in the Cunningham
suit here some time ago. While in
Alaska for a time he was associated
with Cunningham. Each of the
claimants has approximately 100
acres, and the land is said to be very
valuable, if the coal could be brought
to market. The property is now
owned by the Northern improvement
Company.
Testimany on the Feed group
followed after the Chezum group was
disposed of. Numerous witnesses for
hearings were subpoenaed. Among
those who testified in San Francisco
was Louis R. CLAWS, formerly of this
city and now in San Francisco.

(From Thursdays Daily Alaskan)
In the case of the government
Jos. F. Diggs, former postmaster at
Cordova. on the charge of embezzle-
ment of post Office funds, all the
evidence was in at three o'clock this
afternoon. Other than several
character witnesses the two import
ant witnesses for the defense were
Mr.. and Mrs. Diggs, his wife. The
prosecution had shown that over
$500 had been issued in postal
orders, replaced by I. o. us by Diggs,
and one item of $500 taken in cash by
Mr.. Diggs and replaced by a check
payable to himself and which was
never cashed. These items were
practically all admitted by the de-
PENDANT, but he contended that the
money was due him for salary, for
other than small sum, he had never
received anything from the service
for salary. rent, fuel, etc. and con-
sidered that the amount was due him
and was not taken with any intent to
embezzle. The testimony of the
postal inspectors. augmented by the
records. indicated that every dollar
owing by the postal department to
the postmaster had been paid but it
was not sufficient to pay the clerks
employed by the postmaster, and
other running expenses.
At three o'clock deputy District
Attorney Brubaker summed up the
evidence and presented it to the Jury.
He only consumed twenty minutes,
and was followed by attorney Frank
Foster for the defense. The District
Attorney made the closing address to
the jury. after which Judge Overfield
delivered his charge and the jury re.
tired.

AS THE CONTESTS NOW APPEAR

There is now every indication that
Woodrow Wilson will be elected Pres
ident of the United States by the ex-
traordinary number of 446 electoral
votes. The only state about which
there is the least doubt Is California,
with 13 votes. The complete count
gives it to Wilson, but the Roosevelt
forces will exhaust all possible court
proceedings before allowing it to
positively get away from them. The
small vote received by President Taft
is a grievious disappointment. to his
friends and supporters. The result
is indicated below:

One of the Fairbanks papers states
that about Thanksgiving time, a
stage will be started from Fairbanks
to Chitina with three or four insane
patients, their guards and a deputy
marshal as passengers. The stage,
in all probability, will be a special
one, and will carry no passengers
other than the government party.
Among the unfortunates will be Otto
Nichols, of Nulato. He was adjudg-
ed insane shortly after reaching Nu-
lato from the Iditarod, and was taken
to Ruby by deputy Marshal Town
send. Deputy Ander brought him
to Fairbanks and on his way picked
up Charles Chisholm at Tanana, as
he was recently adjudged insane.
Another insane was brought to Fair
banks from Circle City. He is j.
Wahala, who left Fairbanks on one
of the last boats. but got off at wood
camp on the way and started to wan
der in the woods. He appeared to be
under the impression that someone
was seeking his life.
The fourth man is now in the Fair
banks federal Jail. His name Is An
drew Forslund, and he was taken into
cutody on the Healey river.

There seems now no reason to
doubt the intention of the Alaska
Road Commission to build two much
needed bridges in the Copper river
country of Alaska. One will cross
the treacherous Nazina, few miles
from Mccarthy. and the other will
cross the Gulkana. While Col. Rich
ardson was recently in Seattle. on his
way to Washington, he talked freely
with a reporter from the Post-Intelli-
gencer. Among other things that
paper says:
Although road building in Alaska
was greatly handicapped by the great
amount of rainfall during Semptem-
Der and October. Col. Richardson ex-
pressed pleasure over the amount of
work done this year and stated. as
his belief, that it would be but few
years until the Importance OF wagon
roads for the development of Alaska
would be realized and more national
assistance given in their construction.
while in this city Lieut.. Edgerton
is purchasing bridge material and
other supplies, which will be shipped
to Alaska at once. During the win
ter months two important bridges
will be built, at a cost of about s40.-
600 for both The most important
will cross the NaZina river. This
bridge will afford a passage from the
Copper River Railroad into the Nazi-
ria fields. Nearly twenty men have
been drowned in attempting to make
this crossing in the last few years.
The other will be built across the
Gulkana river, giving more safe
trail into the interior.

ardson and Lieut.. Edgerton will leave
this city Saturday night for Washing

main in Washington for the winter,
but Lieut.. Edgerton will return to
this city in five or six weeks and will
go north for the winter.

building of a winter sled road from

With every incoming train from
the interior are men from the Tanara
valley, and they are all enthusiastic
over the promising gold quartz out
put from that district. There are
now sixteen stamp mills in the Fair
banks recording precinct. twelve of
which are located or are being locat-
ed OH the mines themselves, and all
of which will be at work before the
first of December. In practically
every case the mine owner has taken
out enough ore from the property to
ray for the mill and now has it in
stalled where he can make the mine
pay for it's own development. Some
of the properties are not yet in shape
to supply the little mills with con-
tinous run of ore, but several are,
and a few months work will put the
rest in the same position.
Taking into consideration the daily
output of the mills now working and
the known richness of the rock at all
of the mines, these mills can safely
be counted upon to produce 1,O00,-
900 by June 1.
The mills now on the mine sites are
located as follows: One on Ester
that of the Hudson brothers; two on
Dome creek owned by Capt. Spalding;
two on Cleary proper, on the News
boy and the Newsboy extension; one
On Willow creek on the Tolovana
claims; one on Bedrock creek on the
Rhoads-Hall lead; one on Twin
creek on the Rainbow; one on Wolf
creek on the Rexall; two on Chatham
creek on the North Star and the
Chatham Creek Mining Company. and
one is located on Fairbanks creek for
the McCarty and Fursteneau claim.
