1918 had value of Sl9,4l3,094, accord
ing to the United States geological sur
vey. OF this amount, Sl5626,sl3 is to

S22S, 1872 $40 In addition to this nearly
Sl7,0000 100000 worth of copper and
over 100000 worth Of silver has been

tributed in the territory, that there are
q number of important copper deposits,
and also some valuable coal fields. This
publication is the first report issued
which covers all of the mineral deposits
of the territory of Alaska. 1t presents
a summary OF the many reports dealing

MONTGOMERY MAKES
FAVORABLE REPORT

Further reliable evidence of i'm
provement in business conditions was
revealed in the following pertinent
facts concerning the Montgomery Ele
vator company from the head of the
concern, A. E. Montgomery:
Business for July was the largest
the plant has had since its establish
ment in March, 1913.
Prospects are for double the amount
of business enjoyed during the first
twelve months. That years run was
between S75, 900 and 100000.
At present forty men are employed
and an increase of force will be neces-
sary in the near future.
The concern now has branch con-
nections in Kansas City, st. Louis,
New York City and Portland. At Kan
sas City a branch office is maintained.
In the other cities. as yet, only
agents are employed TO handle the bus
mess.
Owners are already planning for eX-
tension of the building, although it
was built with the idea of taking care
of all needs for several years.
Elevators for practically all of the
large buildings in the cities of this
section of both Illinois and Iowa are
being constructed by the local firm.
With the recent retirement from the
Moline field of the Otis Elevator COM
pany the local concern is enjoying a
yet greater business than heretofore.

The above is an excerpt from a con.
versation that occurred in the Moline
police station yesterday afternoon. 1t
was evident to the police that J. D.
Cady had sold something that two
people claimed he had sold something
to them, that someone had some limo
leum and a door that some one else
said didn't belong to them, and that
someone else said didn't belong to
either of them.
So much is perfectly clear CD
The dazed police after arresting one
man on a warrant charging larceny
pleaded to have the case continued
until Saturday that they might find
their way through the labyrinth. To-
day the solution, at least part of it.,
was discovered.
E. l.. Cox recently purchased the old
office building at the Cady stone quar-
ry and proceeded to dismantle it for
other uses. A few days ago the new
owner discovered that someone had
removed from within a door and
large piece of linoleum. He charged
Andrew Marsha. 224 Thirtyfourth
street, with the theft, and Marsho was
arrested. The door and the linoleum
were found at Marshes house, and
that individual declared that his broth
er had taken them.
The brother claimed to have pur-
chased the stuff from J. D. Cady and
stated that as he needed a door he
took that, too, intending to pay for
it later. Cox said that the inoleum
probably was his rightful property al
right, but he doubted his seemingly
honest intentions of paying for the
door. Everything pointed to a speedy
settlement of the case when a woman
butted in. Her name could not be
learned.
"That linoleum belongs to me. 1
bought it from j. D. Cady." she
And then chaos followed.
Mr. Cady will be called upon to play
the part of Solomon, and an effort will
be made to find a way out of the diff

PLAN RECEPTION
FOR GYPSY BAND

A band of gypsies, reported to have
created considerable trouble at Cen
eseo and surrounding towns early this
week. are said to be headed toward
Moline, according to a telephone mes
sage received from Geneseo officials
yesterday afternoon. The message
stated that the band was large and
had broken into a section house near
Geneseo and stolen three suit cases.
The party seems to be bad actors and
the Moline police are planning a re-
csption for them they will not soon
forget. Arrests are to follow If the

Complete Operation.

A small amount of water was last
| evening for the first time forced
| through the city mains by use of the
new Epping-Carpenter 100000 gal
lon horizontal reciprocating engine
pump at the waterworks plant. The
connections with steam boiler at one
end and the twenty-four inch header
at the other, from which the distribu.
ton into the three chief city mains,
the 16-inch, the 14-inch and the 10
! inch. will take place, has been COM
pleted, according to reports of the
engineers. Now will follow a series
of duty tests before acceptance of the
$4,000 purchase by the city.
With the new pump in operation
the assurance will be given taxpay-
ers of Moline that finish has prac-
tically been reached in carrying out
the waterworks Improvement project,
for which bonds in the sum of 1884,
900 were voted two years ago. All
the big work has been done. A new
concrete foundation in the boiler and
engine room of the waterworks is yet
to be laid and the finishing touches
are to be put on the remodeling of
the DuiiuluS. when lHlS 10 uOhe lHe
people of Moline can expect to reap
the full benefits of a modern water
works system, as promised. through
the expenditure of S164,O00.

Although the new Epping-Carpenter
pump has been put through its first
motions, it may be before Sept. 1
that il will be put in complete COM
