Edward Hitler was yesterday appointed
receiver of the sibley- Menge Brick COM
pany by Judge W. l. Grubb of the fed
eral court. The company was thrown
into Involuntary bankruptcy yesterday
morning but President John w. Sibley
says the company has more orders on
it's books than ever In its history and
that 1t will be only short time until
it works out of it's financial difficulty.
The petitioning creditors are Goodall-
Brown & Co. Wood d-Crabbe Grain CO.,
and the Alabama Mill Elevator Co., and
Referee in Bankruptcy Alex c. Birch will
issue a call for a meeting of all the
creditors In the near future.
President Sibley yesterday made the
following statement regarding the com
pany's affairs:
THE demand for products OF the Sib-
ley-Menge Co. had increased TO such an
extent that a new plant douhang the
capacity was built and put In operation
in 1912. which was the second time the
company had doubled its capacity since
its organization to meet the growing de-
mand for its high grade face brick.
THE company had expected to pay for
these enlargements and provide adequate
working capital needed for carrying on
the increased business by sale of it's se-
curities, which were held In the treasury
for that purpose. BY reason of the gen.
eral financial conditions that have pre-
vailed the company has been unable to
sell these securities. which has culmi-
mated in its being unable to meet it's
pressing obligations, and for the protec-
ton of all interests, both creditors and

He was in the rear of the audience and
for the first time in history Harry
turned his back when he was offered
an opportunity to say something. Ho
made bee line for a drug store on
the opposite corner and the way he
hurried it might have appeared he had
the toothache and was going tor laud-
anum. The chairman appointed a spe-
cial committee to cross the street and
extract Mr.. Jones from behind the soda
fountain. They found him crowded in
between two ice cream freezers, hauled
him forth and he made the speech of
his life 1t was classic. Harry
showed 'em he could speak but he Just
hadn't wanted to.

LABoRERS NOT ENTITLED
 TO LIEN FOR SLUICiNG

An important decision to miners and operators alike was recently handed down by the circuit court of appeals in the case of Noble ct al vs. Gus tafsan. The decision rendered dsal- lowed the contention of Gustafson that the laborer was entitled to lien On mining property for work performed in sluicing the dumps.
 The case originated in the local dis trict court, and Judge Overfleld de- cided in favor of the plaintiff, Gustaf- son, and the defendants appealed to the circuit court. Particularly in- teresting is the decision at this time for there are several almost similar cases pending before the local court now.
 Byy its decision the court holds that work on the dumps is not work of development, but rather work only in- cidental to detail.-Fairbanke Times

It Is significant, however, that the output in Seward peninsula was prac- tically the same as that of 1911. The maintenance of this output in seward peninsula is to be credited to the in- stallatiOn of dredges. which was con- tinued in 1912 as in uhe previous year The data at hand indicate that in 1912 about 40 dredgcs were operated in Alaska, besides number of others under construction. Of these, there are in the forty mile district, one in the Fairbanks district, one in the Birch creek district, one in the lditarod dis trict, one in the Renal peninsula. and the rest on Seward peninsula.--Pacitic Mining Journal.

It is estimated that there were about 22 gold lode mines in Alaska that made some production in 1912, compared with IS in 1911 In addition to this, development work was done on many lode prospects widely distribu.- ed over the Territory. The value Of the output from the auriferUus lodes in 1912 is believed to be $500, 900, an increase of about $400.00O over that of the previous year. This increase must in large measure be credited to the Treadwell group of mines, but there was also Il considerable production from various small properties in diff ferent districts.--EX.

Webste" City Man is Made to Suffer
For Negligence of Others.

Webster, City, Iowa, Sept %
Can man be fined for not carry

when he has a receipt for his tax
from the secretary of state but, due
to rush in the latter's office, the
number plates have not yet been
sent out. The mayor of Iowa Falls
believes that he can Ben Gish, who
lives east of this city, takes issue
with him. This far. however, the
mayor has Gish bested.
Gish sent in his money for his
number at the usual time. 1t was
a month later that he got his re-
ceipt from the secretary of state.
Feeling safe in running his car, he
went to Iowa Falls one day to at
tend the funeral of friend. While
there he was arrested for having no
number on his auto. He displayed
his receipt from the state for his au-
to tax, but the mayor refused to
recognize it and fined him. He ap-
pealed to the district court at Ell
dora and Attorney Wesley Martin,
of this city, argued the matter be-
fore Judge Albrook, taking the
stand that law is unconstitutional
in its present provisions.
