Bones of Soldier Uncovered.

Montrose, Nov. 1.-THE bones of a
soldier who went to an unmarked
grave between the years of 1884 and
1889, were unearther by workmen ex,
cayating under the Episcopal church
here. The old For Des Moines bar,
racks were on the site of the church
for several years during Iowa's ear
ly history. A bit of cloth, evidently
the remains of uniform, and still
holding several army buttons, identi-
fies the bones as those of a soldier.
BY the side of the remains was a
bag containing, among other coins,
an English sovereign that had been
coined at an early date.

ing tue offenders.
Advices have 1t that Attorney Gen

taches to Policeman Ed Henley ,Coun-
Gilman VIM. Laffollette. and S. r,
Crissy, that more property was not
destroyed and that the life of Engin-

jeopardized. When the bowling mob
followed Mr. Van Bremen to the La

in and get him" Mr.. Crissy was
standing at the hotel door, and TAX
ing in the dangerous situation. he
called a halt in commanding tones.
His words caught the attention of
the crowd, but some pushed on and
Mr.. Crissy had to resist the onslaught
with force. BY that time enough
law abiding citizens came to Mr..
Crissy's support to awe the mob and
it turned away.

countered the mob pushing the car
toward the barns with the threats
of destroying the plant. Henley met
them at the Market street turn and
laying plank across the track he

were disposed to override the officer
and push on. Backed by Mr.. Laffol-
lette, Henley then pulled his revolver
and said in firm tones that he was
sent there to guard the property and
he would do his duty if 1t cost him
his life. Seeing the determination of
the officer, the leaders changed their
tactics, pushed the car away and left

TO REQUEST
 RECONNAISSANCE

Gov ]. r. A. Strong will take up with the Interior Department at an early date the matter of having a re- connoissance made by the Geological Survey of the coal deposits of Admir- alty Island. Gov. Strong announced this intention today.
 The Harkrader coal claim on Ad- miralty Island has already been pat ented. and tests made of the coal on his claim have demonstrated that it is a high grade bituminous coal, ex- ceiling in quality the coal of British Columbia and Puget Sound. It is be- lieved that a thorough reconnaissance of the island would demonstrate that there are great deposits of the same grade of coal on this island. and that a report from the Geological Survey would result in its development.
 The Admiralty island coal veins are so near the tide-water and the ship ping facilities could be made so eco- nomical and advantageous that the demonstration that they are of wide extent would naturally make them at, tractiye. and their development would serve a commercial need, not only to Southeastern Alaska but the entire Pa cific Coast.

NOT MANY GOING
 TO WHITEHORSE

From present indications there will be few Juneauites to take advantage of the excursion rates to Whitehorse on Saturday next Mayor Carter says from the information that has come to him it is the general opinion that Ju- neau is too busy right now to spare the time. The press of business is getting greater every day and busi- ness men can i'll afford to give the time necessary to go over and help Whitehorse celebrate at this time.
 Tom Radonich said that the Juneau baseball team was not going over. The situation had been carefully canvassed and the decision was arrived at that Juneau could not afford to send the team on this occasion. He was also very certain that the Douglas-Tread- we'll team would not go. Just now there seems to be no opportunity for the baseball teams to get far from home It is quite probable that the two lead ing teams of the channel will contest for supremacy during the summer, with possibly a meeting with Skag' way, Fort Seward and Ketchikan.

C. w. Evans Visits
 TreadweIl Mines

George Watkin Evans, the coal min ing expert, visited the Treadwell mines with Federal Mine Inspector Sumner S. Smith today. They went down the shaft of the Mexican mine and passed along the 2,OOO-foot level to the Ready Bullion and came up through the Ready Bullion shaft, Their visit occupied almost the entire forenoon.
 Mir Evans was very much impressed with the mine. Tt is wonderful" he said, the work they have done and are doing-the magnitude of the op' erations cannot be appreciated with out visit to the workings. have seen large operations in different parts of the world, but never anything that would excel the orderliness and precision with which everything moves in the mines, mills and shops, that we have just visited.
 "The organization is wonderful and one who has not visited the place has lost an opportunity to increase his knowledge of mining"

Coroner's Jury
 Releases Rogers

w. R. Rogers, Who shot and killed Jim w. Wilson at Christmas creek, four miles beyond Porcupine and 50 miles from Haines, last Friday, was discharged from custody at Haines last night. A coroner's jury complete. ly exonerated him from all blame in connection with the killing, holding that it was done in self.defense. The verdict of the jury was that Wilson was killed by Rogers, but that the latter was compelled to shoot in order to protect himself from being killed.
 District Attorney John Rustgard said today that the verdict of the cor oners jury made it the duty of United States Commissioner R. NJ. Odell to release Rogers, and that unless an in. dictment shall be returned by grand jury, he will not be prosecuted for the shooting.

VII SON FOR GOVERNMENT RAILWAY
 CASES UP AGAIN

The arguments on the demurers in
 the transportation cases, involving the Alaska Steamship Company, the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, the White Pass and Yukon route, the Moore Wharf Company and various persons connected with these various companies, began before Judge R. w. Jennings at the court house this morn- ing. Attorney w. B. Stratton, of Se- attle. and United States District At torney John Rustgard occupied the at tention of the court this morning.
 When the demurrers of the several corporate and individual defendants in these cases were argued before Judge Thomas R. Lyons, about one year ago, the court held that, inasmuch as many of the acts and things which the defendants were charged with hay ing done were in relation to matters WnlCn are uuueI llc JuIlouiS1iOh N' the Interstate Commerce Commission, and as to those things there had been no action had or taken by that Com mission, the court had no jurisdiction to entertain or hear any complaint either civil or criminal until action was had on such matters by the Com mission.
 The Supreme Court held, on appeal that even though the Commission had Jurisdiction in the first instance as to certain of the matters, acts and things charged. still the government could indict under the sherman Anti trust Act without prior action on such matters by the Con- mission Accordingly the case was sent back as to counts and of the indictment, charging violation of the Sherman Act. for reargument of the demurrers.

POWER PLANT IS
 BEING IMPROVED

Work is progressing very satisfac- tory on the improvements to the plant and power system of the Alaska Light and Power Company. A new Hume line is being constructed. This Hume is 4x4 and four thousand feet long One thousand feet is already complet- ed and the other three thousand feet it is expected will be finished within another four weeks. A working force of twenty-five men is engaged on this particular task.
 Plans for the foundations for the new machinery have arrived and the work of laying the foundations will start as soon as the materials can be assembled. The new machinery for the power plant has been ordered and some of it is now on the way here. When the plant is completed it will have a capacity of practically two thousand electrical horse power dur ing eight months of the year or when the water is available.
 Transmission lines are being changed now, Sundays being utilized for the work of making some of the changes. When the lines will be great, ly strengthened and increased in ca. pacity. Before September arrives it is expected to have the new order es- tablished and Juneau will nave one of the best municipal power plants in the Territory.

size of the footwall that must be pro- vided for.
 This telegram is the first sign of ac' tivity in connection with the proposed government building in this city that has been observed from Washington and it is taken to mean that work up- on the plans for the building will be- gin at no distant day.
 It has been contended by Alaskans familiar with the situation that a $2OO,- OOO.building would not adequately meet the requirements of Alaska for a territorial capitol, and former Gov. Walter E. Clark recommended that an additional $3OO,OOO be appropriated. The Alaska Legislature determined that even this sum would not be sui ficient. and memorialized Congress to appropriate $5OO,OOO more, which, if allowed. would make $7OO,OOO avail able for a capitol building

KETCHIKAN NOW
 HAS MINING BOOM

H. C. Strong. of the NOrthland Steamship Company, arrived in Jul, neau on a recent boat. Mir. Strong is very fayorably impressed with all the activity in and around Juneau. but this does not prevent him from being a consistent booster for his home town of Ketchikan. According NIT. Strong. the First City of Alaska is coming into her own. There never has been time when the future looked so bright as now. The fishing indus try while still in it's infancy, except for the taking of salmon. is growing to be oi great importance-this is especially true of the mildcuring of King salmon. Mining also has taken on a newer aspect.
 The Granby Smelling Co, has bought the Mt. Andrew mine near Had ley. and it begins to look as if ue old smelling town would come to life indeed the operation of the Foss saw mill has already made things look brighter around Nordstrom's Fiord, as the little inlet at Hadley is called. It is understood that the Granby Smcl. ter people are to begin operations at the Mt. Andrew mine in the near future. On Kasaan peninsula there are known to be many good copper prospects that have only had what is known as surface prospecting because of the lack of funds to go further Many properties were mined from the surface and when the rich ore was ex hausted the properties were abon doned without any effort to really de velop the property Paul NordstroH and John Wick have tenaciously helt on to the properties in that locality for years which may eventually be come good producers.
 An English syndicate has secured a large mining property at Helm bay The first payment has been made or the property and two mining expert: are now on the ground making prelim mary plans for the opening up of th' property.
 All of this mining activity is with in a very short distance of Ketchikal and the town is beginning to feel re suits from the impetus given the in dustry. Another good thing is tn, creation of a supply point at Ketchi kan for the distribution of gasoline and other oils by the Standard oi Company. This makes Ketchikai more of a center for the fishing flee and small shipping than ever.
 Mir. Strong came up to attend court His company is having some difficult over the right of possession to som waterfront property. The property i claimed by the Alaska-Juneau Col mining Company. The case will prot ably come up on the convening c court next week.

 OF FOOD FISHES

WASHINGTON, May 27. - The United States government has decided to transplant Holsters from the At lantic ocean to the ports of the Pa cific and to tsock the waters of the New England coast with Pacific coast salmon as a means of reducing the cost of living in the country.
