INDIVIDUALS OR BIG COMPAN-
 IFS?

Down at Nome, they say, the dredging companies are raising an Outcry against the new Alas kan mining law. Under the new law you must perform SlOO worth of labor within 90 days from discovery for every 20 acres of mineral land you stake, and after next year you will have to perform $IO0 worth of labor eV- cry year for every 20 acres of mineral land you desire to hold. This will make it costly to hold large areas of land.
 A dredging company, of course, must have a large area of min- eral land to work with, or the enterprise cannot hope to be suc- cessful. The new law, say the dredging companies, will not On- ly put them out of business, but by forcing them from the field through excessive annual labor requirements, the money they have paid for the claims and the improvements they have put in- to the claims during the past few years will be confscated. And the idea of c4ntiscation by the government is abhOrrent to all American standards of justice.
 Nobody can deny that the dredging companies will suffer because of the change in the law. So will the large mining cOm- panies closer to home, in the Birch creek camp and in the BOn- niiield, for inSlance. They have all spent large sums of money annually in retaining and deVel- oping large areas of aSSnclatlOn claims, and now they are placed ih the position of spending eight times as much money annually or abandoning the ground and los ing all they put into it.
 But there is hardly change of law that does mot benefit some body and injurc somebody else. The new law was written for the benefit of the individual pros pector who is willing to work and whose work is of the kind that opens up country quickly. It was aimed against the Specula- tor-prosprctor. These specula- tors have gobbled up hundreds of square miles of land in the ter ritory. in the form of association claims, without so much as mak- ing certain that the land is min eral land.
 Some of the land that is ac- quircd from these SpeculatOrs by large mining companies is so low grade that it could not be worked by individuals. But it is also true that the system reduces . the field for the individual miner. Nest good Alaskans would pre- fer Alaska to be country of many Individual miners, rather than of a comparatively few large mining companies. The in- tent of the law is to give the Individual a chance again, in the hope that there may return more prosperous times such as exist ed before the gross abuse of the association claim law began.-- Fairbanks Times.

Shea did much of the judges work and is entitled to recognition, but he did not have all the power and could not act in all cases that came to the court. MT. Ar mold, according to MT. Lyman, had nothing in common with Willimantic except as sleeping quarters.
 Attorney Hinman denied the allega- tion that Judge Arnold neglected the court duties. though there had been a few cases which he disposed of before o'clock in the morning. the regular court hour He said the deputy judge has a convenient office and is empow- cred to accept bonds. He said that under an act passed at the present session of the general assembly the chief of police of Willimantic is em- powered to take bonds. He urged the committee to report favorably on the resolution to appoint MT. Arnold judge of the police court of Willimantic as peculiarly fitted for the place by ex- perience and legal training.

THREE BREAKS REPORTED.
Market and Drug Store at DayVille,
 Station at DaneIson.

Three instances of breaking and en- tering buildings in the town of Kill ingly were reported Thursday morn ing. At Dayville the market of Gillette & Walker was visited. At this place a small amount of money was taken, also some frankfurts, sweet pickles and other things to eat. cleaver was also selected from the market tools, evidently for use in breaking out the pIateglass in the front door of La belIes drug store, which was again burglarized. At the drug store the thieves took two cameras, some foun- tain pens, two pipes, some candy and other goods.
 No money was secured at the drug store. where the practice is to leave the cash drawer from the register so that it can be seen by possible intrud- CTS, to prevent their damaging the register.
 Candy was found on the front steps of the drug store Thursday morning, indicating that the thieves had been sitting there enjoying themselves after having made the break. There is no clue to the thieves.
 The third break occurred at the pas senger station of the New Haven road in Danielson. Nothing was taken, and 1t is assumed that the break was made by boys. Entrance was gained through a window in the gents toilet Once in side the crooks broke out the glass in the window of the ticket office, which, 1t is indicated, was inspected, but nothing taken. Blood on q window sash shows that one of the intruders cut his hand in getting in.

ed is near. a trap door in the floor. the only method by which one could enter the building without using the doors or windows, which were not forced in any case.
 To the police on Thursday came information that persons resident in the vicinity of the fire heard voices and slight disturbances in the neigh borhood of the Tatem shop at a time before the fire broke out, but the off, than they have had in their previous investigations of suspicious fires.
 Thirty men are thrown out of work by the fire. Business at the factory has been rushing for some time past and only last week the plant was run ming nights. The firm manufactures tool handles of various sorts. hockey sticks and 8 variety of other articles. J. H. Tatem, Jr., said Thursday af- ternoon that the work of rebuilding the plant will begin as soon as pos sible.
 In the meR,ntime the basement, which can be used temporarily, will be clear ed of debris and a working force in stalled there as soon as new machin- cry can be secured. Mir Tatem ex- a small scale, in from four to six weeks. The work of the plant will go along and increase with the con- structton of the new plant
 The Tatem business was removed to Putnam a little less than two years ago from West Thompson, where the firm operated a factory for years It is a valuable little industry and one In which the working force has been developed to a high degree of efficiency such as comes from satisfaction over excellent treatment by employers. Members of the Tatem family, sons, have similar factories at Williman- tic and at Eastford.

 Hartford, April 24.-The Willimantic iudgeship matter was given considera- tion Thursday afternoon by the com mittee of the judiciary. when there were hearings on resolutions appoint ing James A. Sheas William A Arnold and Samuel B. Harvey judge of the police court of Willimantic and Pat rick J. Danahey as deputy judge. There was no opposing candidate for deputy. and MT Harvey is the demo present judge, and MT, Shea the pres ent deputy.
 Frank P, F'enton spoke in advocacy whom he referred to as an attorney of ability, stands well in the community and would be an excellent judge, as he possesses all the qualifications He was satisfied that he would perform the duties of judge with efficiency and that favorable report by the commit tee and his election by the general as- sembly would be satisfying to the people of Willimantic.
 Judge D. A. Lyman said he appeared in the interests of MT. Shea, not as an attorney, but as a citizen of Willi- mantle, in an honest endeavor to se- cure the best possible appointment for judge of the police court. MT. Shea has served as deputy judge ever since Judge Arnold was appointed judge ten years ago through the action of the county caucus under the old regime. MT. Shea was prevailed upon to take the deputyship and considered it burden, but accepted for the sake of having the office filled. He has per-

Woodworking Factory of J. B. Tatem & Son Burned Under Suspicious Circumstances-Owls Give Minstreis -Lareau Maynard Marriage.

The J. B. Tatem & Son Woodwork Ing factory on Tatem street was to- tally destroyed by a fire that broke out soon after four o'clock Thursday morning. J. B. Aatem. Jr., said Thurs day afternoon that the loss would not be less than s15,000 and might be as high as s20,000, the loss being fairly we'll covered by insurance.
 Several persons discovered the fire at about the same time. Raymond Mitchell, Florence street. was one of the first to see the fire and hurrying to the home of George Blair sent out telephone warning The alarm rang in from Box A. corner of Ring and Grove street. at about APO. Station Agent George l.. Baldwin also saw the fire at bout the time it attracted the attention of MT Mitchell MT. Baldwin happened to wake and looked out the window. At that time the fire had gained considerable headway, as it had evidently been burning on the inside of the building for some time.
 When the firemen reached the fac tory the fire was so far advanced that there was no hope of preventing a heavy loss, but the department men worked effectively giving special atten- tion to surrounding property. which was in grave danger. but was pro- tected from injury.
 The fire burned with great vigor, feeding upon large quantity of Ium- Der that was in the wooden factory. The building was destroyed down to the first floor level and there will be practically no salvage on the valuable equipment of machinery. The engine located in the basement, was not in- tured.
 Once more there is strong belief that the Tatem fire is the work of an incendtary. The owners of the build ing do not care to be quoted as to their opinions on this phase of the matter. It is known, though, that there was no fire in the building dur ing Wednesday. The boilers that de- velop the power for the running of the plant are located in a separate. fire proof building a safe distance from the factory itself
 The fire did not catch on the roof, so the spark theory is disposed of. but in corner of the building on the first floor level. at a place on the floor which had been given cleaning up Wednesday preparatory to the recep- tion of a large quantity of lumber, which was later placed there. Inci- dentaIly the point where the fire start
