Judge Lyons to. Retire.

His term about to expire, and Robert w. Jennings, his probable successor, appointed by Presi- dent Wilson, Judge Thomas R.. Lyons this afternoon bid adieu to the courtroom over which he has so equitably, efficiently and faithfully presided since appoint ed by President Taft nearly four years ago. Judge Lyons leaves tonight on the Spokane for Ketch- ikan, to open term of court there next Monday morning. From Ketchikan Judge and Mrs. Lyons will go to Walla Walla, Wash, for a rest.
 Judge Lyons plans for the flu lure are indefinite. It is believ- ed he has an eye on Puget Sound, as a probable location for law of fees. Then again the call of Alaska is to be considered. The friends of Judge Lyons are hop ing that he will listen to that call and return here and reopen law offices. As a practicing attorney Judge Lyons success is too well known to be dwelt upon. He was one of the ablest lawyers in Alas ka before he took up the gavel of the court, and his experiences as q jurist has undoubtedly enlarg- ed his stOrehOuse of knowledge of law and it's intricacies. --Ju- ueau Dispatch.

TESL|N STRIKE
 |S 0VERRATED
So Writes Dan Garvey, Special Correspondent of the Seat ...... .,
 tie Times.

That there is no big stampede to the new diggings in the Tes- lin Lake country, discovered by Skookum Jim: that there is at present nothing to Justify one, and that the value of the field from commercial standpoint cannot be determined until late in the summer, is the conclusion of Dan D. Garvey, special cor of the Seattle Times. who is in Atlin.
 Garvey is a mining man of many years experience and knows every placer and quartz mining camp in Alaska and the Vest ern country. The in1ormation he has gathered, and may be talk on as being as accurate as it is humanly possible to. make it. is as follows:
 The accurate facts about the alleged strike made by Skookum Jim, the Indian, who shared with George Carmack the discovery of the Dawson gold fields, as near as can learn them from careful, observing men upon whose judg- ment there can be no question, are these:
 Late last fall several Indians discovered bright, coarse gold on an exposed rimrock of Silver creek. They became excited and hastened here to discover other natives who had some experience in the Klondike gold fields. They were advised to go back and stake the creek. This they did later in the fall, making the trip over the snow. In December forty of them returned to Atlin and staked that many claims. .
 When it became known that so many claims were staked and recorded in a new. district, the white miners and prospectors ill this and neighboring camps grad- ually drifted into the new camp and staked claims on nearby creeks without doing amy pFesl pecting. A few of them have tried to, sink to bedrock but, because of water. they have not yet succeed- ed The ground is now covered with four feet of snow" k:
