ALL JACKLING PROPERTIES
 BUT ONE ON PAY

All of the Jackllng groups of prop critics that have been operating ex- tensively, have declared dividends ex- cept Ray Consolidated which is de- ferred. Utah Copper declared div. dend for the next quarter amounting to 75 cents per share or $S per year for each share which is equal to sqo of the market value of the stock, or oue-third of the par value of each share. Chino Consolidated paid a dividend of 25 cents per share. which is just half as much as the last quar- terly dividend. Butte and Superior Copper paid the regular dividend that has prevailed for some time. This company is not operating a copper property. however. but is working zinc mines.

PENN-ALASKA MINE
 EXAMINED LATELY

Recently E. $. Collins, representing some of the principal stock holders of the Pepn,Alaska Mining company was in Juneau accompanied by H. L. Ross, a mining expert from Oregon The visit was made for the purpose of ex- .amining the properties and the condi- lions existing at the time development work ceased, with tho view of deter. mining what is necessary for resump- ton of operations should that be de- termined upon immediately, MT. Col. lins departed without making any statement.
 The Penn-Alaska properties are 10. cated on the north side of Takue inlet and are said to be on the same strike as the Perseverance. the Ebner and Alaska Juneau mines with ore carry. ing the same general characteristics. A considerable portion of the group of claims has already been patented and considerable development work done on the same.
 Men who are acquainted with the property say that there are already over 1900 feet of development tun- nels, drifts, and shafts. A crosscut tunnel on the west side of the strike not far from the green stone and about so feet above sea level has been extended through the ore body dis tance of l25 feet and is said to be in ore that returns SS to the ton on assay reports. There is stin 70 feet to be driven on this vein.
 Something over a year ago the com pany bought a small stamp mill and installing 1t on the property began active development work again. The idea of placing this small mill was to use 1t for an experimental plant.
 Jesses Blallely who is the active spirit behind the Penn-Alaska com pany started East on business con nected with the development several months ago and was stricken with Ill., ness. It was found necessary on ac- count of this to shut down activities shortly after. Latest advlces are that Mir. Blakely is still i'll and confined to his room in Pittsburgh.
 Local mining men say that the property has every indication of be- coming good producer. Just what the result of the visit of Mir. Collins and Mir. Ross may have on the future development Is not of course known at this time.

The Courts Are Still Safe.

Chairman Ben johnson, of the House District Com
ittee, has very generously offered on behalf of that
committee, to grant hearing to Louis A. Dent,
auditor of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia, to the conduct of his Office, subject
with which the District Committee has nothing what
ever to do. One w. w. Spalding an accountant act
ing under authority which he imagined was given him
by resolution of Congress providing for an in
qury into certain District of Columbia affairs pro-
ceeded to meddle with matters in the Office of the
court auditor, which is in no way connected with
the government of the District of Columbia finally
reporting to Chairman Ben Johnson who has moth
ing to do with the courts auditor that the Office
should be placed on salary rather than a fee
basis.
Overwhelmed with gratitude for Chairman John
sons generous offer of hearing Auditor Dent
nevertheless respectfully but firmly declined to appear
before body of sefconsttuted inquisitors who have
no more authority his Office than the Fish Com
mission has. Thus is little bit more added to the
sum of the District Committees knowledge of Dis
trict affairs But the process is slow and tedious
Whether the auditors Office should be placed on
salary basis or not is open to argument Some
time ago were inclined to think it should be. 1t
is question to be determined by competent author
tiles The District Committee is not yet superior to
the court.

The Conservative Dunkers.

The German Baptsts or Dunkers in general con-
ference at Frankfort, Ky, resolved that the men,
bers of that church should not use automobiles OF
auto trucks, until light is thrown the sub
ject. To some this may appear like radical and
reactionary movement by great religious organiza-
tion but it is conservative than the resolutions
adopted by the Presbyterian General Assembly, the
Methodist conferences and the Baptsts. These re-
gous bodies call upon Congress to pass resolution
to amend the Constitution to prohibit the sale of
alcoholic beverages, declare that no member of the
church shall retain his membership in social club
which sells or serves these beverages to its men,
bers, demand that those who smoke cigarettes shall
not hold offices of trust, and urge Congress to enact
a national divorce law There is no qualification in
these demands. They are arbitrary and explicit.
Not so the conversatve Dunkers. They lay down
no law that shall be for all time. They put the
automobile and auto truck on probation These devil
wagons may be used and tested by sinners, and by
other religionists. and if the time shall come when
there is light vouchsafed to the Dunkers the
resolution adopted Frankfort may be repealed. In
this is exemplihed the conservatism of these people
who have by their dress and social customs held to
the simple life and waited for demonstration of
the advantages of newer customs, before they made
change. They live in the country where the horse
is still held in esteem, and they look with appre-
hension upon the innovation of the automobile the
inspiration of the evil spirit whose it bears in
the vernacular of many people who tolerate and use
them But while the Dunkers resolve not to use
the automobile, they do not attempt to dictate to
others and prohibit these machines from the high
ways of Kentucky the United States.
Their prohibition is personal not general, and
even then it is only until more light may be had by
the Dunkers. We may not agree with the Dunkers
but their prohibition is conservative and practical

Mediation Il Tampico.

Prospects of peaceful outcome in Mexico arr
again apparently seriously threatened Two of Huer
tas gunboats will attempt to prevent the landing o.
a cargo of arms for the rebels at Tampico by ths
steamer Antiils, and it is reported that the Untet
States ships Sacramento and Tacoma are under order.
from Washington to see that the Mexican federal!
do not interfere with this delivery of munitions Of
war to their foes There may be plausible TECHNICAL
ties to explain such course but in the eyes of the
world the United States thus places itself in the at
titude of binding Huerta hand and foot and giving
his foes the guns to shoot him with.
Huerta accepted overures for mediation of ou,
difficulties with him and agreed to armistice with
us and with his enemies in his own country. The
rebels rejected both mediation and armistce there
fore with assistance the forces which refuse to
treat with are, with assistance, to be given
arms to aid them in overthrowing the with whom
we in friendly negotiation.
Under such circumstances it should cause no sur
prise if Huerta's representatives at Niagara Falls
promptly withdraw from the mediation party. Amen
able and amiable they may be, but they will hardly
|be able to discover any element of justice in a
step by the United States involving the of armed
force to prevent Huerta from withholding arms from
his enemies while we negotiating for peaceful
settlement of all of Mexico's troubles internal as
well as International Rather, if are to use armed
force at all at this uncture should not be used to
prevent the landing of arms in Mexico while media
tion is in progressa OF course sink Huerta's
gunboats and put the guns and ammunition for Villa
safely ashore, but the more direct way would be to
place our army and navy at the disposal of the rebels
and make the mediators ashamed of their slow prog
ress. Then the establishment of a provisional gov
eminent could be swiftly accomplished-ust as soon
as Carranza and Villa agreed, in fact. And haven't
they shown how quickly they seize upon opportunities
for peace and peaceful negotiation?
If the administration persists in its present policy,
the direction in which lies its hope of peaceful set
tlement has not yet been disclosed
