MEXICAN CASE
 LOOKING BLACK

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Members of the administration are far from satisfied that peace in Mexico Is as- sured. It Is said that both internal and international troubles are brew ing, and that Carranza and Villa are not working together in free and frank manner.
 Foreign representatives are insist ing that the new government of Mexi- co must recognize the debts of the Ma tion and respect the property rights of their citizens, and Zapata and Villa have thus far failed to comply with requests for a statement of policy on that point, and both intimate that they will not make any promises un- til the question of the redistribution of the lands in their respective sec tions of the country is settled. Zapata insists as the price of peace that the big estates of Southern Mexico must be made available for small holders, and Villa is believed to incline to the same position as to the estates of Northern Mexico.

Democratic Primaries Give
 Everyone Equal Chance

The plain intimation by the Dispatch this morning that the anti-Wickersham men in the Juneau Democratic club are taking unfair methods to prevent free expression of the win of the Democrats of Juneau Is resented by some of the leading Democrats of this city as being unfair-uninteutionally, maybe. but nevertheless unfair Moth ing has been done by the club that would iu any manner prevent the Dem ocrats Of this city from sending a WickerSham delegation to SBagway in case there are more Wickersham Dem ocrats here than there are anti-Wick- ersham Democrats.
 The rules for the primary election in the formulation of which the chief part was enacted by a close friend of Delegate Wickersham. even to the suggestion of the judges and clerks of the election-proyide that those participating must promise, if chal- lenged. to support the nominee of the SNagway convention. This Is just as binding on the aUti-Wickersham men
 and those who are not necessarily anti-Wickersham. but with whom he is not the first ChOice-as upon those who favor the nomination by the Dem. Ocrats of the Delegate. If the Juneau primary should select a Wickersham delegation and he should be nominated at Skagway, or if he should be nom- mated at Skagway without the con sent Of the Juneau Democrats, all those participating in the primary bind themselves to SuDUOrt him
 The intimatiOn that the judges Se- leCted in the first instance to conduct the primary - selected before they were placed in nomination for dele gates, and four out of five of them Sug- gested by 9 Wickersham supporter would tolerate anything except 8 fair primary and an honest count is Un. fair Go some of the leading men Of this city. The judges selected were Perry Wiley, Angus MaCEay and W. w. Casey and the clerks Thomas Cole and s. Fl. Millwee.
 The Juneau Democratic club did not select its delegate ticket at secret meeting. The club has had but one meeting since it's organization from which others than members were eX. c!uded, and at that meeting financial and other strictly club matters were discussed.
 In selecting a ticket. the club did not even bind it's own members to sup port it.
 It is doubtless fair to say that a | large majority of those on the club pri. ! mary ticket are not in favor of the | nomination Of Delegate Wickersham at Skagway, though one, J. F. Cobb, the | lawyer who represented the regular Democracy before the credentials com mittee at the Baltimore convention. tayorS his nomination, and all of them will support him If he is the nominee.

BIG GOLD CREEK

The action involves the right to possession of Gold creek wa ter and has been in controversy for several years. About six months ago the plaintiff company sought an in- Junction and temporary restraining order to prevent the Ebner company from diverting the water, pending a hearing of the case on its merits which was denied.
 The case is now being finally heard on it's merits and it will likely con- sume several days. The hearing on the application for restraining or der last nearly two weeks. Helen thai & Hellenthal represent the plain tin company and Vim & Burton the

EMINENT RUSSIAN
 MINING MAN HERE

D. N. Barbot de Marry. eminent min l ifIg' engineer of St. Petersburg, Russia and a director of the Lena Gold Fields Co.,. the largest gold mining company ! in Russia, is in Juneau and a guest of the Hotel Cain. NlU. Barbot de Marry 1rrived in Juneau Tuesday night en. route to the interior of Alaska via Yukon Territory Ho will visit Daw- son. Fairbanks, Iditarod, and Nome. The purpose of his visit is to study the methods and processes of mining in this country particularly that fea- ture which has to do with frozen gray els.
 The mines of the Lena are all deep placers and frozen, like they are in Yukon and interior Alaska. The Lena Gold Fields company has immense holdings and operates on a very large scale. The company employees 1000 men and sluices up annually ten tons of pure gold. The pay is at depth of l40 feet on an average, too deep for dredging successfully, therefore the pay is mined similar to the system em- ployed in Yukon and Alaska, except tue old crude method of thawing the frozen gravels with wood fires, or in lieu of wood, coal is still in vogue, The introduction of steam thawing plants is now contemplated by the company and this is one reason that this pro. cess of mining is of particular interest to the visitor. While in Dawson he will visit the immense dredgers em- ployed by the Boyles on the Klondike concession and will see the great thaw- ing plants in operation.
 Although there are no quartz mines in the Lena fields, Mir. Barbot de Mar ny takes a keen interest in the great quartz mines of Southeastern Alaska, particularly those in the Juneau dis trict and he will visit Trea1well and the other mines of this section if pos sible There are many quartz mines in the Ural mountains he says and im- mense bodies of low grade ores but as yet they lie untouched because of the inability to work them at a profit. While the cost of labor, he says, is less in Russia than here. the results obtained are proportlonately less, therefore American operators can work ores at a profit that Russia can. not touch
 Mir. Barbot de Marry is greatly im- pressed with Juneau. Speaking of his visit to this section he said: 'I am highly pleased with Juneau and it's surroundings. l am more delighted with the scenery here than with the better known Switzerland, It is more beautiful and has a grander eXpanse. It reminds me greatly Of the Northern part of Ural."
 From Nome, Mir. Barbot de Marny will sail direct to Seattle and from that place back Co Russia,

Times BIames Commissions.

NEW YORK, July 23. - The New York Times editorial comments in part on Interstate Commerce Commis. sion report on New Haven: "The In terstate Commission itself, however is older than these errors of manage, ment. There are several New Eng, land commissions of various ages. It is an arraignment of all these public bodies that these crimes occur un' der their control, and are only exposed and denounced historically. The pub. lie would rather have such a regret. table incidents prevented than pun ished, and it is to be hoped that the New Haven episode will powerfully in. fluence a broader reformation"

 Nomination.

NEW YORK, July 23.- It is believed that the decision of Col. Theodore Roosevelt to urge fusion between the Progressives and Republicans and the defeat of Barnes in the Republican primary will result in former Gov.

With that in mind, he re- gently asked permission to name one of the three Democratic inspectors at each New York City polling place.

Labor Paper not for WIokorsham.

-NANN @Ae~f N'NN ANi " tNFN-N siNeA'iiH
 It must not be thought that because the Daily Industrial Worker, of Nome, a paper conducted by the Western Federation of Miners local at that place thinks that Delegate James Wickersham will be reelected, that 1t Is supporting his candidacy or thinks he deserves his popularity. After predicting the probable re-elec. tion Of Delegate Wickersham, The h. dustrial Worker says:
 'Wickersham has always at least been an interesting figure, if his po- pularity has been a somewhat dif,i- cult Co understand. We see no par ucular reason for his claiming the railroad legislation as his own, any more than he can claim that the Terri torial legislation was his own.
 Much of the purely WiCkersham legislation was defective in many ways, while the defects Of the legis, lation claimed by him for the most part can be discounted by him or claimed by him just as he has a mind so Co do.
 "As a politician WiCkersham is con- sUmmatebly able, and he has the hap py faculty Of placing his politicial wares before the people so that they win buy. This is a nicer way of say ing that he can effectively hook his line and catch the suckers. But it is the same thing.
 "The genial art of serious bull con that will be taken seriously is one in which NIT. Wickersham is an adept.
