The Juneau Empire has the fol- lowing to say about the expedition that is now en route to the west ward to freight the Matanuska coal to tidewater:
 "The government coal expedition will probably have a ship in Juneau en route to Knik on November 6, with all of the horses, sleds and other paraphernalia necessary for transporting the coal from the Matanuska fields to tidewater on I board. Jack Dalton has been placed in charge of the matter of getting out the coal and he is now in Seattle getting his outfit together.
 "A call has been sent to Juneau to secure teamsters there, if pos sible, that are used to the winter teaming of this country. Surveyor General Charles E. Davidson has re- ISCeiNcu lTOIu J. A. Holmes, director of the United States bureau of mines to hire ten first class teamsters to leave Juneau on the governments special steamer that will leave Juneau about Novem- Der 6. The men are expected to spend the winter on the Matanuska. The government will pay the travel ing expenses from Juneau to the destination and $125 per month and board from the date of their arrival at Knik while work continues. Only first class men, experienced in win ter teaming, are desired.

SOLDIERS ENJOY "WHOPPER OF
 A TIME"
Chamber of Commerce Guests Make Merry
 at Smoker
CFrom Saturdays Daily

An dandy as they make 'em" was the verdict handed down by the 200 militiamen and officers of the Hunt Encampment-gues of the Chamber of Commerce-after the smoker in Dougherty's Hall last night.
 When the boys in khaki returned to camp after the affair of Thursday night they lost no time in describing the affair to tha bother half of their fellow campers. The vivid descrip- ton made their mouths water in anticipation of the time in store for them. Consequently, it was a jolly. fun-loving army which assaulted the scene of revelry last night.
 The guests made themselves at home in short order and in less time than it takes to tell they were play ing the piano, dancing about the hall, singing songs and conducting boxing matches.
 Most of the officers of the en- campment were again present, appre- ciating the fine time offered them on the preceding night. Several local citizens were also present.
 O. w. Reed and Frank Gilman, the men on the job, kept dishing out the "bow-wows" and flavors of all tastes and color just as fast as the demand offered. In addition. there was an abundance of Missouri Meerschaums" tobacco and matches available, not to say anything of cigars.
 As nearly as can be learned, almost every soldier iR camp took advantage Of the Commerce Chambers invita- ton to attend the jollification pro- ceedings of Thursday and Friday nights. The impression made by Prescottonian hospitality is a matter the guests themselves can judge, and according to their current remarks, they had some time"
 The smoker" last night continued until about II o'clock. when the of ficers were whisked away to camp Tn autos while the majority of the men fell in line and tramped to their tents.

 OF STARTING FIRE
(From Fridays DaiiyN

OSSINING, N. Y. July 24.-Fire starting in a Sing Sing clothing shop early today threatened to de stroy the prison. but the prison fire brigade extinguished it after a hard fight
 It was the second fire this week and the authorities believe that both of these fires were started by mu- tinous convictS.
 The first blaze did one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of damage Rioting of prisoners ac- companied today's blaze. but the mutineers were restrained and the men at work in the burning building marched out in good order, while the convicts locked in their cells in the other parts of the building joined in the chorus of yells.
 Warden. Clancy attributes the re- cent disturbances to an order for the transfer of some of the convicts to the State peuitentiary at Auburn. Most of the Sing Sing prisoners come from New York City and ob- .ect to being taken up the State, because it will be difficult for their friends to visit them. As a result of the mutiny six ringleaders will be taken to Auburn tomorrow.

PHOENIX, July 24-The Con-
 solidated Arizona Smelling Company,
 corporation doing business in
 Yavapai county, in the neighborhood of Humboldt. where large SmelterS
 are being maintained, filed an appeal "Wednesday in the Supreme Court
 from a judgment in the Superior
 Court of Yavapai county obtained by
 Jack Ujack on June 7th of this year.
 The judgment was for $SOO0 for personal damages sustained by the
 said Ujack while an employe of the defendant company.
 The suit was originally for $25, 000. and was first filed on January 2 of this year In his original com plaint, Ujack alleged that while act ing in his capacity as machinist in the mill of the company, he was in structed to do certain work which was hazardous and in following out instructions fell from a ladder and sustained such injuries as one broken ankle, one sprained ankle, one sprained wrist, and several bruised tendons and fragments. and also sev- eral bruises over his body, and divers strains, such as to wholly incapacitate him from service He was in the habit of earning 5000 per year prior to the injuries which occurred on October 6, 1912.
 The company set out that the workman's compulsory compensation act passed that year by the Arizona Legislature was in full force and eff feet and that the plaintiff in the case failed to comply with the pro visions of the act at his own risk and damage and the corresponding release of the company. When the case came on for trial all the de and motions of the defend ant were overruled and after the evi- dence had been heard by jury, upon duly being charged by the court. the jury returned a verdict of $8000. In the meantime the company rendered a check in open court for one-half | of the wages of the complainant from the time of the injury. which | was refused
 A motion for a new trial was ar gued and overruled and finally the | appeal above to the Supreme Court | was taken. LeRoy Anderson and Richard Lamson represent the smelt- | CT company while E. s. Clark and | j. Ralph Tascher appear for the plaintiff.
