Quartz Deal Ever Conumated in Interior Alaska

bearing on the railroad question lor
reasons that can readily be under
stood when it is remembered that
transportation to the Broad Pass
country will require an outlet in
this neighborhood
Aitken is a wealthy man on his
own account, but the well known de-
sire of the Guggenheims TO make
deals through middlemen is said
to be the cause of their using him
in this capacity.
One fact which bears out this
statement is that Aitken never Wis
tied the Broad Pass himself, and 1t
is certain that he never purchased
for himself property which he him
self had never seen although he
could easily have visited it.
The fact is that Aiken met En-
gineer Newsome who it is well
known, represented the Guggenheims
here; indeed it was so well known
that he was the Guggenheim man
that for him to try to make the deal
would let everyone know who was
at the back Of it. and the last thing
the Guggenheims want to do. for
obvious reasons, is to let anyone
know that they have any finger in
those mining deal pies.
But one thing is about as certain
as anything could be which is not
proven by documents, and that is
the Guggenheims are now in the
Broad Pass country to stay. It has
been learned since the story of the
deal for the Broad Pass property
was published that Mr.. Aitken has
really gone to Skagway and thence
to the Interior as he said he was
going to do. He has gone to Daw-
son to get a dredge to place on
property on Candle creek in the
Kuskokwim The fact that he did
not go to Broad Pass after making
the deal may be regarded as very
significant

a decisive stand against it yes
terday. when the Labor party
Of Glasgow, Scotland, issued an
appeal to all working men to re-
fuse to 90 to war. From what

made to get the working people
OF other countries to do what
they can to discourage the con-
tinuance Of the great conflict.
Late reports received last
night state that the aggressive
movement Of the Germans all
along the western battle line
has been repulsed, and that the
allies have begun an offensive
movement in a number Of places
against the Germans.
Early reports yesterday stat
ed that the Germans had begun

It is declared today that the

United States will insist upon
an immediate settlement of the

It is evident that some features
Of the Mexican situation have

is announced by some Of the
men in touch with the situation
that the United States is at
present nearer to trouble with the
Mexicans than at any time since
Huerta refused to salute the

Tom Aitken, formerly OF this city

in the lditarod, has purchased three
quartz claims at Broad Pass from
the Wells Brothers for S25O,0OO.
From what can be learned from the

the property for the Guggenheims
who. it is expected, will develop 1t
into one of the most important
mines in Alaska.
The claims are situated near the
proposed route of the government
railroad and are less than 100 miles
from Fairbanks. To the Interior OF
Alaska the deal is considered the
most important mining transaction
that has ever been completed, for
it means that one of the biggest

RESERV|STS
HAVE FAKE
PASSPORTS
PLOT, SIX MEN ARE
ARRESTED.

NEW YORK, Jan. Six men
were arrested here this morning on
a charge of having issued fraudulent
passports to German reservists. The
government detectives who caused
the arrests declare that they have
unearthed far-reaching plot. impli-
eating a large number of people.
which has for it's purpose the eXpor-
tation of German reservists, who
otherwise would not be able to leave
the United States safely. Further
arrests are scheduled to take place
within the next few days.
1t is believed by the authorities
that the plot was discovered before
anything was accomplished, though
four reservists holding the fraudu-
lent passports were taken off a yes
sci as it was about to set sail for
Europe this morning. The govern
ment detectives have been aware Of
a plot Of this nature for some time,
and have been watching out for
any attempt on the part Of men to
sail with the bogus passports, but
the men taken from the boat this
morning are the first that are known
to have attempted to depart with
them.
Since the European war started,
orders have been issued that great
care should be taken to see that
only American citizens Of creditable
standing should receive them. Thus
the German reservists, who would be
in danger of getting into the hands
Of the allies unless they had some
way to prove that they were not
going to war. have been compelled
to remain here.
Whether the German government
has had anything to do with the plot
to get reservists safely past the al
lies by means OF fake American
passports. is a matter that will be
thoroughly investigated by the au-
thorities. 1t is believed. however,
that the plot had no official support
anywhere. but was promoted by the
reservists themselves for their own
safety.

While it is not expected that the
Turks will inflict any great harm
upon the Rrssians from that quarter.

here that the aggressive movement
in that section is intended to force
