JUMPING AT CONCLUSIONS

Our neghbors at Seward evidently take with all seriousness the talk of petty officer the cruiser Maryland who expressed the opinion that the Boring coal of good steamng quality They overlook the fact that the coal taken from the Cunningham claims of mighty inferior quality and not to be compared to the good cean hard coal contained in regular seams the claims The has yet the result of the analysis and seamng quality of the inferior article sacked last and exposed ran and frost during the winter The Seward Gateway contains the following:
 The contained in dispatches conveying the inforna tion the Boring coal has failed to stand the test applied by the United States navy naturally leaves the Mat anuska fields the sole of fuel supply in Alaska for warshps. The importance of this fact cannot be estimated that Resurrection bay will be the site of the naval coang station we'll the chief naval point in Alaska.
 We do not wish to appear petty to boast the fact that the Boring coal is not adapted to the of the navy Looking at it from broad standpoint is regretabe fact much Seward may be benefited by the finding it is nevertheless to be depored from the stand point of Alaska whole.
 It has long been generally known that the coal in the Boring river fields contain smaller veins and the product when mined appears like screenings In the Matanuska fields the veins large and strong and the coal be taken out in lumps Coal that mined by Frost and associates in 1906 lying dump retains its substance and resss the elements of erosion marked degree is just the character of coal required by the navysod firm and lumpy and contains according to tests applied sufficient percentage fixed carbon render of first rank for seamng fuel purposes"

The land office at Juneau has passed adversely on several more coal claims in the Katalla fields. In every instance the government made charges of fraud in the matter of making the locations, and also charged that the claimants had not opened up nor developed a mine on the land located. All of the defend- ants allowed their interests to go by default making no appearance at the hearing that was ordered.
 Mrs. Mathilda Burke, of Portland, Ore, claimed S5 acres and had paid in $S50.00. Charges were made against the entry in 1909. James Campbell, of Georgia, claimed 159.92 acres for which he paid in $1,599.20. Charges were made against the entry at same time as above. H. l.. Pittock claimed 160 acres for which $1,600. had been paid in. c. H. Woodward claimed 16O acres, but had paid in no money. All of these claims were located by M. A. Green as agent for the principals, and are commonly known as among the Green group.

L. A. Decker, a recent arrival from

l.. A. Decker, recent arrival from the. placer district of the upper Bremner, is in town on his way out side. He has with him bag of clean gold nuggets and dust, weigh ing about 16 ounces. MT. Decker has been working in district that has been but little prospected. but which he believes will some day be a good producer of placer gold.
 He is operating on Golconda creek, tributary to the north fork of the Bremner river and which heads in the high mountains between the Hanagita valley and the Bremner. It is easily accessible for winter freighting or summer travel through broad low pass to Monahan creek and northward to the Chitina river.
 Last summer MT. Decker put in his sluice boxes and expected to make good clean up this season. He and his men freighted a good supply of provisions, with dog team, in from Long Lake on the railroad, in April last. But when they reached the Golconda creek they found that all their previous work had been washed away. The other men then left for different diggings and MT. Decker remained alone and started to again put in sluice boxes so as to be ready for next season. In the meantime he banned out little gold.
 MT. Decker states that the gravel in the creek is shallow, running from four to ten feet, and that it will make fine hydraulic proposi- tion. Good colors can be secured with pan from the bars almost any place. The gravel benches contain gold and it is believed that the gold content of the creek gravels is in part reconcentrated deposit from the benches. These placers resemble those on Chittitu and Dan Creeks. One of these days MT. Decker looks for big movement in the direction of the headwaters of the Bremner, and he predicts that some rich finds will be made.

E. O. Sawyer, Jr., representing the Enterprise Newspaper Association, sailed on the Sampson this afternoon for the westward. He will make a trip to the Matanuska coal fields and write up his observations. MT. Saw yer recently returned from trip to the Chisana gold diggings and secured much valuable information of the conditions in that country.
 The steamer Admiral Sampson reached Cordova this afternoon abou, 1 o'clock. She remained in port until o'clock sailing at that hour for the westward. She brought but few passengers, although several went to westward ports from here. While at Katalla last night sudden wind came up and interfered with the landing of freight. Ben Durkee was taking off 25 tons of coal on scow when the Sampson was com pelled to cut loose and steam away. The scow and coal went adrift.

TURNS LAWYER

Joseph Rose, former. Spanish in

denuneiation of what to him appeared
to be questionable methods employed
by Prosecuting Attorney Fred Mil

assault in which Rose and brother
Interpreter named Alameda had fig
ured. efx - :.
In militant clash of authority in
which Rose and Alameda are al
legged to have figured at the immigrar
ton station yesterday, verbal pyro-
technics led to an interchange OF
Lows Alameda, breathing veng-
eance. sailed fprth to the police sta
ton, where he swofe out warrant
for the arrest of Rose. However,
overnight, marked change of senti-
nent was apparent. Rose, when call
ed before Judge Monsarrat this morn
ing, demanded that the case be drop
ped, as a peaceful settlement of the
differences was claimed to have been
affected
Alameda was also present and quite
willing to drop further prosecution.
Attorney Milverton seemed to hail
from the state of Missouri about this
time and he wanted to be shown that
all was now harmonious between an
erstwhile warning Interpreter clan.
Rose took occasion to free himself
of a quantity of exceedingly aerimo.
NOUS comment concerning the man
ner in which the wheels of justice
were kept in motion in the lower
court
To shut off further strenuous de-
bate. the case was set over for next
Monday morning, at which time the
difficulty in which time the difficulty
in which the interpreters figured will
receive thorough airing.
Rose offered the interesting state
ment that he was specially deputized
by both the consular representatives
of Spain and Portugal to look after
the interests. of all immigrants who

POI CLAIMANTS
. Want $4,000

The legislature probably will be
asked to authorize the banana claims
commission to handle the poi shop
claims also, with an additional APP
preparation of about $4,000 tackled
onto the banana claims bill for that
work. This is the announcement to-
day of Chairman Coney, of the house
health and police committee, follow
ing the. public hearing held by that
body last evening.
The public hearing last evening
proved a surprise, in several ways.
Not being extensively advertised by
the committee, small attendance
was anticipated; but about forty Chi
nese, owners of some of the poi shops
which were destroyed by the board
of health during the plague scare two
year sage, appeared and through their
attorneys presented claims aggregar
ting $4,000.
In all. fifty-one poi shops were de
stroyed by the health officials two
years ago Thirty-one claims were
presented last evening. At this rate,
the total amouns asked probably
would reach nearly 100000. Chair
man Coney and his conferes frankly
informed the Chinese they could not
expect to recover any such amount,
because the territory would not pay
it; legal counsel for the Orientals Just
as candidly replied that they did not
really expect any such remuneration,
and that they might be able to reduce
the demands to about one-sixth of
the present estimate.
On that basis, the health and police
committee will proceed to work II
likely will recommend to the house
that the resolution and bill calling for
the payment of the pei shop claims
be tabled, and will introduces as a
substitute, an amendment to the
banana bill as outlined above, setting
aside $4,000 to be paid the shop own.

commission to take charge of the de
