several weeks ago and stealing articles
of the aggregate value of several hun
dred dollars.
After the young men had pleaded guilty
several prominent residents of the lower
section Of the county were requested to
tell the court what they knew about the
defendants. All agreed that their repu-
tations prior to their arrest had been of
the best, and reference was made to the
fact that they belong to excellent fami-
lies and that Sonnemon has a wife and
two small children. The attorneys for
the young defendants addressed the court
in behalf OF their clients. urging that
sentence be suspended. and DR.. Morgan

GOLD PLAGERS IN
ALASKA EXPLOITED

During the Summer Of 1912
Henry M. Eakin Of the Unit. d
States geological survey visited the
Ruby, Innoko and Iditarod districts
in Alaska, and a report on the gold
placers in those districts has been
issued by the survey as Bulletin
542-G. The mining center of the
Ruby district is about 25 miles
south nf the YUKON river at Ruby
and comprises half ~ozen creeks,
all within AN area a few miles
square. The first discovery of gold
in this district was probably that
made on Ruby Creek in 1907, near
the site of the present town. This
discovery proved to be of no great
Importance, and that it was not I'M
til 1910 that the discoveries on
Long Creek and its tributaries
created widespread interest in the
region. Exact data regarding the
amount of gold produced in the
district are not available but the
total in 1912 was probably between
$50, 900 and $4,000.
The Innoko-Iditarod region lies in
west central Alaska and embraces
most of the upland area north of
Kuskowim river that il drained py
Tnnoko and Iditarod rivers. In all
I'd claims, located on five creeks
were worked in the Innoko district
in 1912 by a total force of 140
men. The total value Of the pl, c.
err gold produced during the year
in the district was probably in ex-
cess of $25O,000.
Twenty-Five claims, located On
eight different creeks, were worked
10 the Iditarod district in 1912.
Thirty-six plants were engaged in
the work, and about 975 men were
employed. The value Of the total
gold production Of the district, in
GLIDING Moore creek, for the year
was probably about $2,750,000.

ROSEATE VIEW OF UTAH MAN

One Of the most rosy pictures
painted of the mining industry of
Nevada, its enormous Importance
and production of the past eight
years and what this should develop
into in the next few years is that
of Robert Murdoch, Sr., a veteran
mining man of Logan, says th2 Salt

M urdock says:
Gust some idea CT the develop
ment of the mining industry of the
State of Nevada since 1904.
I'm 1904 there was 159 produc-
ing mines with a total output of
mineral valued at 81 ,658,2l6. In
1912 the number OF the producing
mines were 704, with a total out
put of $38, 1853, 1872, being IN it,

in increase of $50, 70O,5l6 worth of

taken from the government report
of 1912 on the mineral output of
Nevada.
'The total amount of wealth
produced by the mining industry
of Nevada from 1904 to 1912 is

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS GEYSERS

Something has happened at
Steamboat Spring as many Of the
extinct Qeysers have come to life
again and are belching steam and
water to a great height. An old
timer claims this is consequent to
the cessation of pumping on the
Comstock, further claiming that
the water rising to a certain height
in the mines brings pressure to
bear on the connecting strata be-
tween the Comstock and the Steam
boat Springs, causing the water to
again spout. 1t is historical fact
that prior to the deep mining on
the Comstock TIE geysers were far
more numerous and threw their
waters TO greater height than

COSTLY CURE-ALLS
closed.

The government is after the
medicine vendors who sell their
cure-alls by advertising the recipes
from which they are made. A
Washington dispatch says:
Investigation by the department
of agriculture has uncovered a new
trick by patent medicine vendors
and the department today issued a
warning to the public against plac-
ing credence in advertisements
which philantropically offer to send
sufferers free prescriptions that
vii prove panaceas for whatever is
ailing them: In each case the
department investigators discover
ed the principal ingredient of the
cUre-all prescription was some
patent or proprietary drug which,
if the compounder did not have in
stock he vas compelled to buy at
co siderable expense.
The government cannot reach
these people under either the food
and drug act or the postal laws, the
department adds because the
scheme is so planned as to evade
government laws. The deception
and misrepresentation appear in
advertisements, circulars, letters
ETC., separate from the package
and the medicines are seldom sent
through the mails.
The best the department can do
therefore, is to warn the people to
be particularly suspicious of those
who spend their money for adver-
Using space, postage and letter
writing, seemingly out of their
love for humanity. In all Of these
cases there is profit making
