MINERS IN COLORADO PAY
 HEAVY TAX TO OPERATE

In his trip through Colorado and be- fore the Mining Congress, Territorial Mining Inspector William Maloney found that there is a general complaint among the mining men of Colorado ov- CT what they consider an unjust tax.
 They are taxed on their gross output upon the value of assays at the mine, upon the net from the shelter returns, upon improvements and also upon in- dividual income besides. The mining men claim that it seems to be the pol icy of the farming element in control of legislative affairs to tax the produc- ing mines out Of business, seeming to overlook that fact that the mining in- dustry affords the best market for all agricultural products.

 H. l.. Faulkner, the United States marshal for this division today re- ceived the following telegram from c. De Arnold, the United States commis- sioner at Sitka:
 Have three dependent children who must be taken care of Can you recommend where they may be sent?"
 The marshal wired the following reply:
 "Attorney-General has informed Governor all laws passed by Leg islature imposing duties federal of ficials null and void. Holds com missioners no jurisdiction act as judges juvenile court or perform other territorial duties. Cover any other territorial duties. Gov ernor suggests you wire Judge Jennings at Arctic Club, Seattle, requesting him make appropria- ton for dependent children from Indigent Fund"
 The federal officials find that the decision of the Attorney-General is far-reaching and their hands are tied in a hundred different ways. The money at present in the Indigent Fund will revert to the United States treas ury unless used before the 31st day of December, and that fund seems to pre- That on the 20th day of December ing after the cases in point.

HUERTA WILL RESIGN AND TAKE COMMAND OF ARMY
PERSERVERENCEPARN
 EVENT OF SEASON

Tn entertainment afforded fully 300 people by the Silver Bow Ptarmigan Club Saturday night at the Persever- ance mine, was the social event of the season. It will be topic of conversa- tion and the enjoyment will be lived over" for some time to come.
 The exodus from town to the mine began early Saturday afternoon. Ed. Hurlbutt, who handled the Juneau end of the transportation of sleds, proved himself well qualified for the respon- sibility. While many walked out to the mine, the sleds made trips enough to accommodate all hands.
 The banquet defes description. H.. H. Morton, the steward, the general who assembled all the good "eats," in the opinion of the guests deserves a special medal It was no small under taking to feed such large crowd and have everything pass off without a hitch.
 The members of the club acted as hosts and made everyone feel at home.
 The program of dancing and other entertainments was varied enough to give all alike a chance to enjoy them selves.
 Mrs. Paul Benson had charge of the reception of the ladies at the mine, and of the staff house, where they were accommodated for the night.
 Many of those who went to the dance returned to Juneau before morn ing, leaving Perseverance at about 2:30 o'clock, but the most of the guests of the mining men remained at the mine until yesterday morning where break fast was served. They left on sleighs for Juneau at 10 o'clock, and were in the city in time to attend the morn ing service in the various churches.
 The music for the dance was one of the features of the entertainment. The uduciUS COUlul6lCHu at . O CiOCh dilu continued until 1 when all hands as- sembled in the large dining room. I'm mediately after the supper dancing was resumed until about 2:30. The Tread we'll orchestra furnished the music.
 The Silver Bow Ptarmigan Club is an informal organization composed of employees at the Perseverance mine, the only executive officer being that of the president. Mr. G. T. Jackson, sup erintendent of the Perseverance mine, is at present occupying the office, hay ing been unanimously elected.
 The chairmen of the various com mittees are as follows:

LUCAS SEEKS TO
 REGAIN CITY OFFICES

Suit was commenced in the Federal court today by w. T. Lucas in which E.. w. Petit is named as defendant to re- gain the city offices he formerly held. The action grows out of the summary discharge of MT. Lucas by the mem- bers of the city council from his pO- sition as magistrate, city clerk and tax collector, and the appointment of MT. Petit thereto.
 As a matter of fact three separate suits have been filed to fully cover the separate offices performed by one man. The complaint, however, in each case, is practically the same.
 The complaint states that April 4, 1913, plaintiff, in accordance with Sec. 627 of the compiled laws of the Terri tory of Alaska, was duly appointed clerk for the term of one year, and he qualified and entered upon his duties. Further:
 That on the 2Oth day of December A. D. 1913, the defendant usurped the said office and has ever since unlaw- fully withheld and does still unlawful ly withhold the same from the said relator, w. T. Lucas. and has ever since assumed to exercise and does still assume to exercise the functions of said office.
 First, That the defendant is not en- titled to the said office and to be oust- ed therefrom.
 Second, That the said w. T. Lu- cas is entitled to said office and that he be put in possession of the same and of all the books, papers and prop erty belonging thereto"
