DEFENSE MOVES
 FOR A DISMISSAL

The transportation case or more properly the Skagway wharf case, took a new turn today. E. J. Shaw, manager of the Skagway wharf, who was on the stand for the government yesterday afternoon, was again called this morning. When MT. Shaw had finished testifying Max Kalish was re, called for brief time. The govern ment then rested as it's case was com plete.
 After a deluge of motions to strike certain evidence Attorney Shackle ford. for defendants, moved for a non suit and dismissal for each of the de fendants separately on the grounds that the government had not pro duced sufficient evidence to call foI defense.
 The jury was excused at Il o'clock and the argument in support of tho motion was begun by Attorney Strat ton. Mir. Stratton was still talkint as court adjourned at noon and re sumed his argument this afternoon
 There are several other attorney representing the defense yet t1 b. heard. It is quite probable that all O today and part of Monday will b. consumed by the argument.

Last nights meeting of the city council was one of the most interest ing sessions in many weeks.
 Many citizens were present having been induced to come through the in yitatiou extended by the city govern. ment to take part in the discussion Of cold storage contract with the Juneau Fish and Ice Company. Emery Valentine. J. F. Malony, J. E. McKan. ma. II. p. Crowther, Jas Fitzgerald and Oliver Orange were among those present and took part in the discus. sions of the evening.
 Mayor Bishop being absent from the city. Acting Mayor Miller was in the chair. Coucilmeu Woland. Bell Freis and Femmer answered to roll call The first matter of importance to receive attention was the necess. ary action on a resolution passed pro. viding for the purchase of two dis tinct tracts of water frontage adjoin- ing the City dock and on which the City expected to have the proposed cold storage plant erected.
 It was discovered during the prog ress of the meeting that title to one of the tracts was in dispute. James Fitzgerald. who was present in the name of Mrs. Fitzgerald claimed a certain portion Of the tract farthest from the dock. This brought forth a spicy exchange of pleasantries be. tween ex-Nlayor Valentine and Mir Fitzgerald. After considerable dis. cussion this new obstruction to the city's scheme, the city council segre, gated the tracts to be purchased anG passed an affirmative vote on the res olution providing for the purchase of

BAR HANDSHAKING

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 1S.-The Imperial Club of St. Louis, probably the most fashionable organization in the city, has put ban on handshaking, and henceforth only the most formal bo~ will be proper at it's functions.
 Persons who directed recent ball of the organization said that in mak- ing the change they were following an Eastern custom which is becoming general, and that sanitation had noth- ing to do with it. They said the rule against handshaking was made when it was discovered that the majority of the guests when introduced or when meeting old friends merely bowed, and they consider the change as an improvement.

FOR THE RELIEF
 OF INDIGENTS

Today Governor Clark in discus sing matters connected with Alaska's destitute white persons referred to a bill now pending in Congress for the relief of white indigents. It is a matter that has caused much common; throughout all the Territory In the interior. at Fairbanks and at Nome, the Order of Alaska Pioneers, has done much to relieve the distress of old time prosUectors. This work and burden belongs to the federal govern, ment. the Governor thinks, and that the men who have worn out their physical strength in the development Or the country should be cared for from the Alaska Fund in the Treasury of the United States. Governor Clark said:
 This is a season of the year when we must regret more than ever that no provision has been made for the relief of destitution in Alaska. AS is we'll known the cases which are ob. jects of charity are comparatively few in this Territory and usually are the result of physical accidents. A bill was passed by the Senate in May, 1911. setting aside five per cent of the Alaska Fund for the relief of in, digent white persons. When I went to Washington last winter I urged the House committe on territories to take some action on this bill, which had been pending in the House for nearly a year. The Senate bill was soon passed by the House, but in a radi' cally amended form.
 "If the bill had taken it's natural course it would have then been sent to a conference committee of the two houses with the object of reconcil ing the differences and reporting il back for final passage So far as can learn no conference committee ever acted on the measure. I have gone as far as can appropriately 1T the matter, but it is regrettable tha this bill which has become so nearl! a law has not been finally acted up on"

was, however put into working order again before the close of the season. Mining continued as in previous years in the Chistochina district but was considerably less in the Valdez creek district, chiefly because large mum. Der of claims were under bond to company which proposed to install 2 large hydraulic plant
 Hydraulic operations were contin- ued on Renal peninsula and at Crow creek, as in previous years. A dredge installed in 1911 was operated on Ke. mai river for part of the season of 1912. There was also considerable prospecting in this part of the field for dredging ground.
 It is reported that the Yentna dis trict had a very prosperous season Notable increase in production was made on Dollar creek, where some high gravels were developed A few prospectors continue work in the Null chatna region, west of Lake Clark, but no important discoveries have been made in this field.
 Yukon Basin.
 The Fairbanks district continues to lead in the production of placer gold. The new discoveries in this field were principally those on creeks which have already yielded some gold. The most important was on Eva creek. The work of the year has also consid- erahly increased the area known to be underlain by workable gravels in the Chatanika. Flats, near the mouths of Dome and Cleary creeks. Additional gold-bearing gravels are said to have been found on Fairbanks creek. The Fairbanks creek dredge was operated throughout much of the open season. The gold produced at Fairbanks came chiefly from Goldstream creek, the lower parts of Dome and Cleary creeks, and Ester, Eva, and Fairbanks creeks. It is estimated that between 130 and 140 different plants were oper- ated and that from 900 to 1,5O0 men were employed. Summer operations were much in excess of those of the winter

City Buys Property for
 Cold Storage Plant

[ the Billy Layton tract immediately adjoining the City dock. This tract is SS feet wide. In order to complete the plans it will not be necessary to get possession of the other 20 feet. Judge Malony urged the council 10 proceed saying that the city could go ahead and take the property in dis pute by getting options from all par ties in dispute and allow the money to be paid to the real owner after the dispute had been settled amongst themselves or by the court. All Of the disputants seemed satisfied with this arrangement. The title is to be investigated and reported on at a subsequent meeting.
 The proposed contract with the Ju- neau Fish and Ice Company for the erection of the cold storage plant was introduced by councilman Bell and went through it's first reading, Act Mayor Miller called for express sions from the citizens present and remarks were made by Emery Val entine. Fl. P. Crowther. Oliver Orange Judge Malony and JE. McKanna. Everyone seemed pleased that the matter was finally started. Mir, Me Kama offered suggestions for two changes in the contract.
 Councilman Wolland called atten- tion to the fact that the rock from the Alaska-Juneau tunnel was now avail able and moved that the street com mittee take action at once to provide means of securing it to the end that the city might improve the streets permanently. After ordering the pay ment of bills the meeting was then adjourned.

 THEIR RECORDER
Up in Arms Against Attempt to
 scuttIe the Order.

FAIRBANKS, Jan. 1S.-Fairbankg and Cleary camps Arctic Brother hood at meeting recently passed strong resolutions approving the de termination of Grand Arctic Record CT Keller in withholding his sigma ture from charters of subordinate camps south of fifty-four degrees twenty minutes north latitude.
 The Brothers here and in interior Alaska are up in arms against the attempted assault upon the honored geographical boundaries of the or der of Arctic Brotherhood and they determinedly repudiate as unconsti tutional the recent action of the Grand Camp.
 A special committe has been ap pointed and are now in communica tion with the Grand Camp officers and with other subordinate camps to prevent action in the formation of the proposed camps below tn, established line. If the necessit. require such action, it is proposed to take the matter into the courts and ask for an injunction to pre- vent the issuance of charter for sucl camps.
 The present agitation will assuredl! result in eventually holding Grant Camps entirely within the borders O the order with only bona fide resi- dents as officers.

Tin.
 The dredge which was installed on Buck creek, Seward, peninsula, last year was operated throughout the open season of 1912. It is currently reported that the output of 1912 is much larger than that of 1911. The Lost river lode tin property has been bonded and is now being systemati- cally developed The results of these operations in 1912 are reported to jus tify further investments and the in- stallation of a mill. This property promises to become the first produc- tive lode-tin mine in Alaska.
 Placer Mining.
 The returns from the Alaska placer mines are far from being complete, but the information at hand indicates that the value of the output in 1912 was half million dollars less than that of the previous year. This de- crease in production is due to the fact that the output from the Fair banks and Innoko.Iditarod regions was considerably less in 1912 than in 1911. On the other hand, a discovery of rich placer ground was made in the Koyukuk district, and promising finds were made in the Ruby district and the Innoko-Iditarod region. More over, the two years work broughc ad- ditional proof of the adaptability of the dredge for placer mining in diff ferent parts of the Territory.
 No noteworthy changes took place in the placer-mining districts along the Pacific seaboard, which are rela- lively unimportant. A little mining was done at Juneau and some larger operations were carried on in the Por' cupine district. Beach mining con tinues to employ a score of men at Yakataga and probably as many more in Southwestern Alaska, notably on Kodiak island.
 The season in the Nizina district was successful except for the floods which occurred in the latter part of the summer and caused much dam age to the two large plants there in- stalled. The plant on Chititu creek
