 MINE RESULTS IN
 BIG LEGAL ACTION

Trouble over $5.o00, GOO mine in Cal w. Butterfie1d of this city brought against George E. Soofield, East Side plumber. The action was slated for hearing in the Superior court late this afternoon. City Attorney John s. Pullman represented Sco- field.
 It is alleged that Butterfield came to this city and interested several per sons in his story that he had a claim to the ownership of the valuable Cali fornia mine. He declared that if he had $5.000 to fight the case in Wash ington he could get his rights.
 A New York lawyer named George B. Weeks agreed to try to raise the required $5.0O0.
 The sum of $500 was secured of which ScofieId put up $2O0. This money was used in a legal battle at Washington to help gain Butterfie1ds s title to ownership of the mine, and when Butterfield met with a rebuff, Scofield refused to give any more. Now Bt1tterfield claims Scofield prom ised to pay $5,O00 and the suit is brought to force Scofield to keep his promise. Scofield denies he made any such promise.
 One of the interesting side1ights is the fact that Attorney F. A. Bartlett, who was helping Butterffeld, fs said to have been promised $50,060 if the mine was secured by Butterfie1d.

But Now Her Face Is the Fairest of the Fair, Due to staaft's
 Calcium Wafers.

Those dfrnpfes are like pearls in a ruby cluster when Stuarts Calcium waters clear the face of every pirn~ pie. spot and blefnish. Ana even if you haven't dimp1es, the clear, trans parent skin of a healthy, Calcium Wafer complexion is more radiant than the delft touch of an artist to the most exquisite water color.
 Stuart's Calcium Waters act direct- 1y upon the sweat glands of the skin, since their mission is to stimulate the excretnry ducts. They do not create perspirattou. but cause the skin to breathe out vigorously, thus trans forming perspiration into a gaseous which these wafers are composed, consumes the germ poisons in the sweat glands and pores, hence the blood makes newI smooth skin in a surprisingly short time.
 You will never 1oe ashamed to look at yourself in mirror, once you see Stuart,s Calcium Waters. Nor will your friends. give you that limiting look, as. much as to say--for good ness sake, get rid of those pimpfes.
 There is no longer any excuse for anyone to have a face disfgured with skin eruptions, when it is so easy to get rid of them. Simply get a box of Stuart's Calcium Waters at any drug store and take them according to df- rections After few days you will hardly recognize yourself in the mir ror The change will delight you i'm f1ensely.

CHURCH CHANGES IN NEW YORK

That the building of the new sub-

 York city's own use and turning 1t over to the use of the world at large, and that such a change means a ce1n-

To continue, '1n1nnedi' ately s4, ,5O6.00e worth of Protestant church property is offered for sale, and it is known that churches to the value of $2O, GOO, 000 at least will be forced upon the market within the next year. Churches offered for sale large and prosperous 10 years ago; the Orthodox Friends in Gramercy Park; three Baptist, only one of which win rebuild in Manhattan; one church), and it is among the largest of all; one Lutheran, that happens to suffer more than others because it is in the theater district; and one Uni- tariaf1 made famous by the ministry of Henry w.

CASES OF INTEREST

LEGALITY OF A stNO-TREzATING LAW A new and somewhat unusual regulation for the sale of intoxicat- ing hquors has recently been put into effect in Tacoma, Wash, in the form of an ordinance which prohibits treat ing. Much has been said of late years, pro and con, the question of the
 no-treating plan, and the constitu- tionaltty and sreasona b1eness of such regulation has been questioned. AL though this tinne-worn custom of treating has been going on from time immemorial, dating back to the first ale houses and tippqing houses in ex- 1stence, it is only recently brought about probably by the awakentng of treating has become recognized as a source from which many Of the evils of the liquor traffic flow, and this is no trivial matter to be passed over wftfYos1t a. sober reelection, for the stattstfcs of every state in the Union show greater amount of use of ardent liquors drunk at sa- looms than to any other source. By those who favor the no-treating plan it is argusd that much much, of this is eyii VI quors would be drunk if each man bought his own. and as 8 result there be less disoTderly conduct. Is such a regulation valid? The precise qaies- Keisel, 124 Pacific Reporter, 1e7. by the Supreme Court of Washington. The court first holds that under the power granted to the city to "reg- uIate,'' which implies some degree of restraint and prohibition, thdS ordi- nance, which works g partial prohi- question of it's reasonableness the court points out fhe reasons for the law, enacted by virtue of the power given to regulate that specific bi1si- ness. and the general power to make regulations for the preservation of public morality and concludes tha't the decision of the city authorities upon this question Is controlling upon the courts unless the reasonablenss of the ordinance is free from doubt But it is argued that treating is an act of ercised by a free people, and is right of the purchaser of liquor not to be prohibited. The court answers this contention: stIn our opinion it is practice which becomes recognized as a source of evil and a menace to pub lie morality and good order. Just as the right ito engage in the liquor traf- flc is not an inherent right in any citizen, neither is it an inherent right in any citizen to treat another in a licensed saloon which is under the control of the police power being e0- ercised by a municipality, as in this case. Wf1atever the right of the citi- rem zen may r, 1e etsewnere re b,sv he haS 7inn no in such a place" The ordinance is 1fp- held.

Most of the creeks in the region tributary to Fairbanks lived up to eX- pectations during the year 1911. Of the estimate published by creeks early in June in the Times, totaling S4,995,- GOO, the sum of S4,704,0O0 has been accounted for by the banks and the express company. But there is always a considerable amount of dust that Is taken out of the country without leav- ing a record, and it is reasonable to conclude that the June estimate of S5OOO,OOO was a correct estimate.- Fairbanks Times.
 The gold production Of Seward Peninsula for 1911 is estimated to have a value of $3,1OO,000; that of 1910 had a value of S3,5OO,OOo. In view of the fact that the winter operations of 1910 produced almost q million dollars worth of gold, while those of 1911 pro bably had value of less than S2O0,- OO0, the output of the summer was far greater than in the preceding year. It seems probable, therefore, that the peninsula may have reached it's mini mum gold production for come time to come.
 While it is yet too early for the an- nual report of the business done by Alaska during the year 1911, the col lector of customs for Alaska has given out some preliminary estimates which are expected to come close to the final figures. The principal items rank as follows: Gold, Sl5,OOO,OO0; salmon, S12,OOO,OOO; copper, S5,OOO,O0O; Furs and merchandise rroducts, S3,OO0,O0O; fresh fish, S2,OOO,OOO. Imports and exports will amount to amount to about S53,- 100000; the estimate for imports of merchandise being close to S16,0OO,OOO. Exchange.
 Federal officials attached to the United States bureau of fisheries are now making arrangements to bring from federal fish hatcheries in Alaska, probably from Yes bay, approximately 100000 salmon fry to Puget Sound, where they wall be released, says the YP..I. Such is the information that has been received by Seattle salmon pack CTS during the last few days. This will be the first attempt, it is said, ever made in the history of the salmon in dustry to try and propagate red salmon in Puget Sound waters. The experiment. will be watched with great interest by salmon canners in Alaska, Puget Sound and British Columbia, as we'll as by fish experts all over the world.
