COMPTON'S LETTER
DECLARED A FAKE
Consul T. d. Edwards Secures Evidence
that Californian Never Was in Jail
In JuareA as Claimed.

that Californian Never Was in Jail
in Juare4 as Claimed
It IS claimed that practically positive
proof that Harry Compton, an Ameri-
can, Of Garden Grove, Calf, was never
a prisoner in the JuareZ, Chihuahua or
Ojinaga jails-despfte a letter written
by him saying that he Was-has been
secured by American consul Thomas D.
Edwards, in Juarez. Compton left his
home in California, where a mother,
wife and child reside, about five months
ago.
On February 16, a letter addressed to
a san Diego merchant was mailed from
Ell Paso. It was written by Harry
Compton and said that he, Compton,
was in Mexican prison and needed
800 right away. The message was
written in pencil and dated from "Che-
Waya." Compton wrote that he was
held as spy and had been sentenced
to death, the execution to take place
and hope to get out" he wrote. "a
Mex is going to take this letter to Ell
Paso and mail it. 7 have g SO pistol
and 10 cartridges left and hope to get
to FL Paso soon. If they get me, will
take few Of them along when go. L
am being watched as I write this letter.
Have been in here four months" Then
followed the request for 500 to be sent
to FL PasO-
This letter was forwarded by the San
Diego recipient to Mrs. Amy ROlfe
Compton, at Garden Grove. Mrs. Comp
ton, the mother, wrote consul Edwards
a pitiful letter, appealing to him to
save her son. Thorough search was
made in the Juarez, chihuahua and
Ojinaga jails without finding a. trace
Of Compton.
The fact that Compton stated he had
pistol and 10 cartridges, but was still
in Jail, seemed unreliable. ''They were
going to shoot me on February 15' was
line in the message, implying that the
time had already passed. It is pointed
out that if the letter were written in
Chihuahua, or "Chewaya," after Febru-
airy Is, it could not have been mailed
from Ell Paso on the 18th

indicates that this route is certainly
worthy of careful consideration.
Communication with Fairbanks
has been improved. During the sum-
mer several automobile trips were
made over the military wagon road.
Moreover, a new direct steamboat
service has been established between
upper Yukon points and Fairbanks.
Wagon road and trail construction
has been continued by the Alaska
road commission in different parts of
the territory, thereby reducing costs
of transportation to various mining
camps. The results attained in
building railways and wagon roads
and establishing steamboat service
have been of ~incalculable advantage
to the mining industry of Alaska and
have led to developments indicating
something of the vast mineral re-
sources of the territory. At best,
the transportation is w~oefully in
adequate, and unless it be extended
no great advancement in mining, ex-
cept along the coast, can be expect
ed. Therefore railway construction
is of first Importance to Alaska, and
second only to this is the building
of a system of tributary wagon
roads-Mining World.

A report from the Tenabo district,
in Lander county, states that the
results of work on the Violet prop
erty, where a shaft has been sunk
200 feet and drifts extended both
ways on the vein, are regarded as
sufficiently encouraging to justify
further development. A crOss-cut
tunnel is being driven on the LON

Some good lead-silver ore has been
found on the Aspen group, where a
shaft is being sunk.
