Remarkable Scene In Bulgarian
Assembly.

Sofia. Jan. 1.-The opening of the
sobranje here was marked by an un-
precedented demonstration against
King Ferdinand. AS the king and
queen, with their sons, entered the
parliament building, the Socialist dep
uties shouted: "Down with the mon
archy! Long live the republic!"
When the king began to read his
speech one of the Socialists repeated
the cry and added: "Sixty thousand
Bulgarians have been sacrificed for
the grandeur of the monarchy" All
the Socialist deputies then left the
hall in body.
King Ferdinand took no notice OF
the episode. In his speech he said
that relations between Bulgaria and
Rumania have been resumed with
mutual good will He referred to an
arrangement with Turkey which
"will exclude misunderstandings.

give the royal salute,

TO TRY ALLEGED MUTINEERS

Wilmington, Del, Jan. 2-The cases
of the thirteen alleged mutineers in
the crew of the American bark Manga
Reva were called for trial in the Fed
eral court here today. The alleged
mutiny occurred on the high seas in
November last, when members of the
crew of the Manga Reva rebelled
against what they considered the
poor and inadequate rations given
them. After making the captain and
his chief officers captives, the crew
took possession of the vessel and
brought her into port Charges OF
mutiny against the alleged ringlead
ers followed. The trials will be the
first of the kind that have taken place
in the Federal courts here for many
years. The most of the accused mer
are subjects of England, Germany
Norway or Sweden, and the consuls
representing those countries have en-
gagged counsel to assist in the de
fense.

ALASKAN GOLD DEPOSITS

Washington, d. c., Jan, 2-The ge
,Jlogy and mineral resources of al
part of the Yukon-Tanana region, in
Alaska, including the gold placers of
Rampant and Hot Springs, are de-
scrfbed in report made public today
by the United States Geological Sur
gey
Placer gold was discovered in the
Rampart district probably as early as
1893, and since 1896 systematic min
ing has been carried ON, the first
sIalm worked being on Little Mlnook
GReek
Eater. as the area being prospected
thuuased, placers were located and
mihes developed on the tributaries of
Baker Greek, and stlll later on Sulli-
Van Greek and neighboring streams
aributary TO Patterson Creek.
Prospecting on the tributaries of
ahe Yukon and Tanana west of the
DDductive areas has reyelaed the
presence of gold In number of To-
calities. Although much ground is
held on some of these streams, es-
peciallly in the Gold I'm district, the
presence of gold in commercial guam
Wltios has not been demonstrated. In
she Gold Hill district this may he due
IN great part to the fact that very
Attic besides annual assessment work
rs being done and that what is done
9s largely futile.
The scene of greatest activity In
rnining in the Rampant and Hot
Springs districts has shifted to the
south as successive discoveries have
.neen made. The Rampant district
yielded its greatest output in 1906
sand 1907 The placers along the north
margin OF Baker Flats reached their
maximum production about the same
time, hut have not fallen Off so rapi
Aly as the Rampant district, The Pat
terson Creek locality has steadily in
Nreased its production since the oper
sstions We're begun, the season Of 1911
recording the largest output in its his
tory.

~HONESTAKE COMPANY
Federal Industrial Commission To
Commence Probe.

Lead, Aug. working condi-
tons at the plant of the Homestake
company will be the subject of in
quiry tomorrow by the federal in
dustrial relations commission at the
first hearing upon mining conditions
held by that body.
The Homestake company, which
controls about s~ix-sevenths of the
total gold output of the Black Hills
district, has operated solely with non
union labor since December, 1910.
The change from the open shop plan
was made following the demand of
the Western Federation of Miners for
a closed shop.
Among the allegations made
against the company to the agents
of the commission are that the COM
pany has been unduly active polite
ally; that local merchants have suf-
fered from the operation of a store
owned by Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst, a
stakeholder of the Homestake, and
that the men have been denied a
day OF rest in seven.
A general denial of the charges is
ordered by the company. T. ]. Grier,
superintendent of the Homestake
mine, and Joseph f. Buse, head of
the Bishop mine, are expected to be
the two leading witnesses.
