PROBERS'
REPORT IS
VERY TAME

Bismarck, ". d.. March 3.--The con
nlittee appointed to investigate the
several state officers made a report this
afternoon at 2:sO. but there was moth
ing of a sensational nature in any of
the reports. 1t stated that it found
that it had been the practice of the
attorney general and his assistants of
doing work of a private nature in some
instances, but that it was not held that
this was a serious infraction and stat
ed that 1T thought that if the officers
should devote all their time to the state
an increase in salary should be grant
ed them.
In the matter of the state board of
control of penal and charitable insti-
tutions, it was found that none of the
members were engaged in private bus
irless that would interfere with their
or the state and the same con-
dition vas found to exist in the Stai-
lion registration board.
In regard to the tax commission, the
statement'was made that all the mem
bers devote their entire time to work
with the exception of r. e. Packard
who writes some editorial for his news
paper, but states that the other mem
bers of the board insist that he has
not neglected his official duties, but
the committee recommends that no
member of any board should be engag-
ed in writing editorials for his or any
other paper.
In the matter of the Office of secre-
tary of state the committee reports
there were no infractions Of law that
could be helped. 1t found that the
state engineer had engaged in private
practice, but not to the detriment Of
the states interests.
The report on the attorney generals
office is the longest OF any and calls at
tention to several practices that should
be stopped, among them that of en-
gaging in private practice, having
stenographers employed by the state
work in private offices down town,
stating that this had been done to a
small extent in the Office mentioned.

men who are opposed to the measure
must be opposed on the grounds that
they are opposed to enforcement of

Representative Sorlie contended
that the danger OF prohibition was in
going too far and making it obnoxious
to the friends of prohibition. He said
he had always before supported pro-
hibition measures, but that this meas
ure is going too far. It is infringing
upon the peoples private rights and
marks the danger point to broad
minded men.

other way Is to give him an anesthet-

NO PLACE FOR POOR.
Mining at Dawson Available Only
to Men With Big Capital.
Pioneer Says There Are Sections Of
the Yukon That Have Not Yet
Been Scratched by
Prospectors.

New York.-Henry Pinkiert. who
used to be a merchant in San Fran.
cisco and went to the Klondike in
1897, and has been in business In or
around Dawson City ever since, ar
rived recently at the Breslin. He says
there are no mining opportunities In
the immediate neighborhood Of Daw-
son, except for men and companies
with big capital.
Dawson is not growing" said Mr..
Pinkiert. I'm the early days there
were all kinds of mining right there
on the ground for the individual, but
now. for a radius of about 80 miles
around the town, the territory is SO
worked out that only big corporations
can make money working 1t, and these
have taken up great deal Of the
land. The biggest operations In the
neighborhood are being carried on by
South African company, which owns
or practically controls all the claims
within that 50-mile radius that the
Guggenheims do not control.
In the days of the gold rush a man
would stake his claim, which would
run 500 feet. The moment he got
that worked down to low grade he
was up against proposition that re-
CURED dredges and hydraulic ma
chinery to work on profitable basis.
The majority of small claimhclders
sold out, and some gave options. A
few are still holding out for their
prices. The government gives q man
the right to hold his claim 80 long as
$500 worth Of work Is done on 1t in
year.
But the situation at Dawson does
not end the Klondike for the prospec-
tor by any means. l should say that
part Of Yukon territory is still In its
infancy as gold producer, in spite
OF the millions that have been taken
out. The great dificulty has been
getting into the interior Small boats
go up the streams now for hundreds of
miles, but still there are regions prac-
tically unprospected. In the past few
years the Canadian government has |
helped transportation by subsidizing |
these craft. and this makes 1t possible |
Tor miners to carry up their grub In |
the fall and continue their work In |
the winter. In my opinion. one of
these days we shall hear of discoveries
up there that will make the Klondike
dnds seem insignificant. From Daw-
