ASSAYS SHOW EXCEPTIONAL VALUES
ONE OF THE PRINCIPAL OWNERS OF THE LONDEvAN
 ARRIVES WITH GLOWING SHELTER RETURNS

ism which at times has been of the bitterest, the work of de- velopment has gone steadily on until today, what is probably the richest mine in the whole Iof Alaska, is the reward of the men who untiringly pressed on ward. Perhaps the one most to. be considered, the prime mover in the development Of the property. is Otto Lonsdorf. who arrived up from the south on the Jefferson. and who will, with Superintendent Moore, de eide on the future methods Of working the property. Mr, Lonsdorf comes from a mining family, his fathers estate be- ing one of the largest owners of iron properties in the great iron districts of the middle west, besides other properties in the Superior district. He has always been a firm believer in the future of the Londevan, giving his time and ms money to pushing it to the we'll merit to restore confidence in the
 The Londevan will do much properties of this region, show ing that values go down deep and that fortune awaites the man or men who are persist ent in their work. Southeast ern Alaska needs more men like those at the head of this property, who are willing and able to develop their properties to the producing point.
 Mr. Lonsdorf is sanguine ov- CT the future of his property. but he can afford to be. for he certainly has the goods.

LOOKS LIKE MURDER

The coroner's jury empan- elled to investigate the death of Arbidore Aquilir, Wednes- day night or early Thursday morning, brought in verdict that the man had died as the result of a knife wound inflict- ed by Herminie D. Carbinas. From the evidence-all circum stantial--it appears that the two men were i'll their cabin about midnight and had appar- ently quarrelled. Carbinas, who is a Mexican, had stabbed Aqull ar, who was a Peruvian. Blood stains showed that the wound
 ed man had then run out of the place seeking medical assist ance. down to the Seattle Bar, where he died before a doctor when he reached the saloon that he was unable to state who his assailant was. Failing to get the doctor on the wire, one 'of the men in the saloon came out of the building for the pur- pose of going down town for one. and as he left the building he saw Carbinas come out from behind the saloon, run part way down the slip to the float, and then jump overheard. An alarm of man overheard" was raised and a search instituted, but without results. The Marshal s office was notified and a rep resentative went ont to the scene. A wet track up the slip showed that the man who had jumped overheard had evident ly crawled out again and had gone up the hill toward the laundry. This trail was fol- lowed to an out building near the top of the hill where Car binas was found hiding. After going into the matter fulley, the coroners jury decided that Carbinas was the guilty party. and this afternoon at two-thirty was set for the preliminary hearing.

There are no two ways about it, the Londevan is a mine in all that the fullest significance of the word implies. 1t has vat : ues and volume, and within a very short time will be rated as one of the leading money mak- ing properties of the country. Ever since the strike was made in the long cross cut, mining men of this neighborhood have been satisfied that the mine was a bonanza on account of the im- mense tonnage apparently in sight. Since that time a drift has been driven both ways on the lead for Considerable dis
 tance, always in the ore, and now more than all the rest, the results of the many assays talk en have been made public. showing that an average sam pie taken clear across the face of the lead carries values of S20.60. Think of il, over 2 thousand feet of stoping ground above the tunnel, the lead strong as far as the drifts have gone in on both sides of the crosscut, and over fourteen feet in width, and above all else, il carries values of over twenty dollars to the ton. Think of it, and then remember that there are others like. it to be had for the seeking and finding.
 It takes courage and lots of 1t, besides capital and stick-to- itiveness to develope a property in spite of the adverse condi- tions which have confronted those back of the Londevan. In spite of the adverse critic
