Fairbanks, Oct. 6.--The out put of the Newsboy mine for the month of September was $8,5O0, and the ore milled during the month averaged better than S2O per ton. The mine is under new management and is showing up to advantage.
 While tunnel was being run to tap a ledge which shows on the surface a big body of rich ore was unexpectedly encounter- ed which was not known to ex- ist. The new find was made at the two hundred foot level and indicates a true assure. The. price of the stock, which has been considered almost worthless, has gone up and is now in demand.

MEN WERE SHOT FROM BEHIND
Second Man is Herman Anderson, Member of Federation of
 Miners at Douglas.

The two men whose bodies had been found near the government trail at Willow creek had been shot from behind, both men be- ing killed while running away or while turned from the mur- derers. Such was the infOrma- tion received by Marshal Brennc- man from Deputy Bowling, who is now on the ground. Only 25 cents was found on the clothes of the second man found, and he al- so had card made out to Her. man Anderson, showing that he was a member of the Western Federation of Miners at Doug las. The card was dated May 25th of this year.
 The watch carried by the other murdered man had been reair- ed at Prince Rupert last May and it would appear that some time in June of early in July the two had started for the Chisana or for Fairbanks. AS yet the auth critics can not find record of the two men on the passenger lists of the boats coming north, but will continue the search to locale the time when they start ed over the trail, also the men who were on the trail at that time will be interviewed in order tn locate the murdrrcrs if pos sibIr.
 Marshal Brennenan intends to leave no stone unturned in his efforts to locate the murderers and the district attorneys office is also working Ou !he case.
 The two bodies were found a little less than two miles apart.

FIRE DESTROYS SEATTLE TIMES

(COntinued from page ij.
 Colonel Blethen, president of the Times Publishing company, says that the fire was started by incendiaries who are working to destroy the Times because of it's exposure of crooks in high plac- es. The police claim that the fire was started by gas leakage.
 The Times was visited by fire last March and all the linotype machines and big presses were destroyed, being replaced by new machines, which have now been lost in the resent fire. The dam age in both fires was fully GOV cred by insurance.
 The Seattle Post-Intclligencer and the Seattle Star both offer ed the Times the use of their press and composing rooms to issue their paper until the dam age done can be repaired, and the Times will be issued this ev- ening as usual.

CLOSES. IS. DOWN: /. FOR: SEASON
Extensive Improvements Planned for operating the cameron-
 Johnson on a Big Scale.

" ol h 'Il GllG Oll-CouIl- son mine has closed for the sea- son and the miners who have
 been employed there have arrived in town and bedn paid off. The season has been very satisfactory
 to the management and has solv-
 ed many questions which can On-
 ly be learned by actual exper-
 fence.
 The operations of the company
 during the summer have been
 largely experimental and have
 been carried out with a view of
 securing information looking to
 the future operation of the prop erty on an extensive scale in the
 most economical manner. This
 seasons operations have shown
 them that the cost of landing machinery and supplies on the ground can De cut in two when the improvements which they planned have been installed. Last spring but little definite knowl- edge of the available water sup ply Was known and they now know exactly what power they can count on from the streams there.
 They have gained knowledge of their ore' bodies through develop- nent work and have used the mill on the ground to experiment. with the ores. No attempt has been made to get out high grade ore from the Treasury Note lead, the discovery of which stated the stampede to that district and re- suited in the discovery of many of the rich properties there. They have purpose1y milled the ore as though under the ordinary mill run and have found the re- turns very satisfactory. When the mill was erected last summer it was believed that some of the rich ore from the Treasury Note could be brought down and milled, but climatic conditions this year differed from that of past years, as the ground, which had been covered with snow in former years, was bare this summer. The miners believe the blasting in the mine has caused the snow and ice to be broken up, as it reccdcd very fast this summer. of the ore from the Treasury Note lead was brought down and milIeu tu demonstrate it's high values anu a permanent tram will be installed next year.
 Several new leads have been on thc property which parallel the Treasury Note, one of which is particularly promis- ing. It has been exposed for some distance and shows a width of better than two, feet, with val ues averaging $500 per ton.
 The mine is closed now be- cause of the necessity of a large quantity of timber for tunnel work, which can be delivered on the ground next spring for d small fraction of the cost if the work was attempted now.
 The plans for the future of the property include the driving of d tunnel of 5000 feet. which will tap all the ore bodies on the up- per claims, some additions to the mill which will greatly increase it's capacity and the establish- ment of a permanent power plant which will furnish electricity and air.
