MYSTERY OF IRISH GROWN
 JEWELS NOT CLEARED

DUBLIN, Jan. 17.-The Lord Lieu tenant of Ireland today denied a re- port that the Irish crown jewels, mys' teriously stolen from Dublin Castle in 1907, had been replaced.
 Laurence Ginnell, the Nationalist member of Parliament who has per sistently interrogated the government in regard to the Irish crown jewels, when asked if he could throw any light on their reported recovery, said;
 q do not know whether it is true, out it is quite possible. The jewels have been within reach of the auth critics all along. They could have got them back from the thieves at any time if they had been willing to pay a big price. If they have recovered the jewels it is Cor the purpose ol disarming me-"
 MT. Gineil's contention is that be hind the disappearance of the crown jewels lies a story of criminal de bauchery involving Dublin Castle, the residence of the Lord Lieutenant ol Ireland, which the authorities are try ing to bury.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH
 ON BASIN ROAD

John Danielson, an employee of the Alaska.Gastinea Company, was found dead in his cabin this morning by other employees of the company.
 The body gave evidence that death had resulted from gunshot wounds but whether by assault or accident or selG-indicted with suicidal intent will not be known until after an in- quest is held.
 Deceased was an Austrian or Ger man by descent and about 45 years old according to Alfred Lundstrom, who knew him we'll. He was em- ployed by the Alaska-Gastineau Com pany as caretaker of the Basin road and lived alone in small cabin not far from the Perseverance mine. A few days ago Danielson was in town and went on a spree, drinking quite a lot. He went back to his cabin. however, and resumed his work two or three days ago When he failed to show up yesterday and again this morning his fellow workers went to the cabin where the dead body was encountered. Commissioner Vim went out this afternon to hold an in- quest
