To END WAR
IN EUROPE

George Max Esterly has an ingen-
ious plan for routing the enemy from
the trenches in the European war. He
says that water is more effective than
powder and having had considerable
experience in mining knows whereof
he speaks. According to his idea the
expense would be comparatively
small in comparison with the vast
sums of money that are being shot
away by the artillery and the results
would be more effective.
Mr.. Esterly says that, on his min
ing claims in the Nizina district that
under an eighty pound working press
ure he can throw a six inch stream of
water two hunderd feet. He believes
that if giants were placed in the tren-
ches, say 500 feet apart, or ten to the
mile, that with ten inch MOBILES, under
200 pound pressure, enough water
could be sent into the camp OF the enc
my with sufficient force to not only
flood and bury the troops, but also to
clear the ground and put it back into
condition for agricultural purposes.
If lakes are available hydro electric
plant could be installed, but if not the
power could be transmitted from any
distance necessary. These plants,
Mr.. Esterly argues, would be useful
even after the war ends, whereas all
the powder and shells now used are a
total monetary loss.
OF course it remained for an Alas
kan to devise some new, effective anc
inexpensive kind of warfare for the
Europeans to adopt in case they want
to end the present war in hurry.

NEW DIS RIG

TOLOvANA

FAIRBANKS, Oct. 15-When the
district court opened at ten this morn
ing, Judge Charles E. Bunnell read an
order creating a new Commissioners
precinct and recording district at Toll
ovanana, the scene of the latest placer
strike in the Fairbanks country. The
precinct was called the Tolovana
Precinct, although there was some de-
sire to have it named Brooks, the same
as the postoffice newly established
there, in honor of DR.. Alfred Brooks
of the Geological Survey. Howard
Johnson Atwell was appointed the
first commissioner for the new pre-
cinct.

IS GREATLY
INCREASED

George Max Esterley, one of the
biggest placer mining operators in
the interior, arrived in Cordova yes
terday afternoon, accompanied by his
wife, having completed his seasons
work, which was one of the best dur
ing fourteen years operations.
Mr.. Esterley and H. F. Andrus
have considerable ground in the Nizina
district, but their principal work was
done this year on claims Nos. 6 and
Chittitu creek, and No. Rex creek,
The weather was ideal for mining and
there being plenty of water big clean
up resulted.
The conditions in the Nizina are
exceptional and required new mining
methods. Although generally known
as placer geld diggings three diff
ferent kinds of metal were handled in
large quantities in the clean-ups.
Besides the gold, there is placer silver
and native copper dust and nuggets.
Several well-knawn mining experts
and biologists visited the property
this summer and marvelled at the
yield of the ground. There was three
tons of placer copper in one clean
up, ranging from the size of buck
shot up to the large nuggets. Some
of the native copper weighed as much
as $50 pounds, and Mr.. Esterly
brought some fine specimens out with
him. There were also many copper
arrow heads found and these had un-
doubtedly been used by the Indians
many many years ago, and are val
liable curios. All of this metal assays
runs 1903 fine, the same as the placer
silver, of which there is considerable,
runs 1903 fine, the same at the placer
gold, the latter being worth $40 per
ounce. All of the metals are high
grade.
While large quantity of gold dust
was extracted from the claims operat-
ed, considerable work was also done
on other ground, which will be worked
extensively next season, and should
result in a record cleanup.

The party spent the, past four
months in locating the proposed rail

10 miles in all. Chief Bailey states
that there is not more than a one per

VERDICT c Y { n
FAVOR Of
R.R. CO.

Judge Brown has rendered a decis-
ion reversing and Diminishing the case
of w. w. Harvey & Company VS..
Copper River & Northwestern Railway
Company, appealed by the Railway
Co. from the Justice Court at Nc
earthly. The plaintiff sued the de-
PENDANT for damages in the sum OF
$S46, claiming that the Railway Com
pany enormously quoted rate from
Seattle to Mccarthy at much lower
figure than the tariff rate. Relying
on the question, Harvey & Company
bought much larger supply of perish
able commodities than was required.
and in consequence lost considera-
BILE quantity Of the goods by freezing
and rotting. A jury at Mccarthy
gave the plaintiff $500 damages, from
which the company appealed.
The case arises under the Inter
state Commerce Act of Congress, I'M
der which Act, SO Judge Brown holds,
the railway company was bound in
law to collect the full tariff rate, ire
spective of any quoted rate. In short,
the law itself fixes the rate, and both
Harvey & Company and the railway
were charged with notice of
the tariff rate. This is the law as
repeatedly laid down by the Suprme
Court, so Judge Brown points out in
his decision.

The transportation companies will undoubtedly take steps
to prevent the attempted enforcement of the ordinance.
great deal of comment has been stirred by this remarkable
piece of municipal legislation and the attempted ordinance has
brought the Town Council Of Valdez into erson and rdicue
not only throughout Alaska but up and down the Pacific Coast
