FIND NO EXCUSE FOR
 SHOOTING SKEFFINGTON

LONDON, Oct. 17.-The Royal Commission which has been enquiring into the execution of Sheehy Skcfing- ton in a Dublin barracks has found that no excuse whatever can be found for the execution. Captain Cothurst who ordered the execution was found to have forged the secret "Orders" for the shooting of SkeAington and Morris, another officer, was censured for even detaining Skefington at all. Skeffington was shot during the revo- lution in Dublin although he had taken no part whatever in the upris- ing. He was most brilliant litter ateur and actually went into the streets during the fighting to try to save lives. Although an Irish Ma tionalist he was opposed to all sorts of physical force. After having been shot first he was found later to be still alive and trying to arise but an other firing squad was ordered by Colthurst to fire another volley into his body. Colthurst has been placed in lunatic asylum, but it is charg- ed that this was only to make the world believe that he was crazy. Even this royal commission now ad- mits that the execution was foul murder

JH. COBBS INTERPRETATION
 OF EIGHT-HOUR LEGISLATION

The interpretation of the territorial law which provides for an eight-hOur day ;n mining operations in Alaska having been called in question, Rep iesentative C. K. Snow of Ruby re- quested Acting Territorial Attorney General J. H. Cobb to write an opin- ion covering the more important points about which inquiries had been made. He has received the following reply:
 "HOn c. K. Snow, Ruby, Alaska.
 My Dear Mr. Snow: have the honor to acknowledge receipt of your letter, in which you asked me for my opinion regarding the enforcement of the eight-hour law passed by the first legislature of Alaska, and amended by the legislature of 1915.
 "The eight-hour law is one of the general laws of the territory of AL aska, and stands upon identicaIIy the same basis as any other general law. It Is wholly mmaterial as to whether this law was enacted by congress or by the Alaska legislature.
 All the territorial laws that were enacted by congress were so enacted by congress in its capacity of a ter ritorial legislature. In 1912 congress created the Alaska legislature to per form indentically the same functions in making laws for Alaska that up to that time had been performed by con- gress. It will therefore be seen that it is the duty Of the judges and dis trict attorneys to enforce the penal provision of the eight-hour law eN- actIy as though the law had been passed by congress. This is true Of

MARVELLOUS SPEED or DOGS
Greyhounds' Travel as Swift as the

of Eskimo Animals.

Few people realize Of what remark.
able speed dogs are capable Some
statistics in regard TO this have been
gathered by NJ Dusolier, d French
scientist, according to Our Dumb An
ilnals. After pointing out the mar
VelOus endurance shown by little fox
terriers, who follow their masters pa
GENTLY for hours while the latter are
riding OH bicycles OF in carriages, he
says that even greater endurance is
SHOWN by certain wild animals that
are akin to dogs. Thus, the wolf can
run between fifty and sixty miles in
one night, and an arctic fox can do
lutte as we'll, il not better.
Eskimo and Siberian dogs can tray
81. forty i've miles OIL the ice in five
hours, and there is case on record
III which team of Eskimo dogs tray-
eled six and a half miles III twenty
elght minutes. According to VI Du-
seller, the speed OF the shepherd dogs,

DELAY SETTLEMENT

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Nov. l6.--
The reputation of Luis Cabrera of
a plan OF border control that had
Eeen agreed upon by Two of his col
leagues and the three American
members again has made doubtful
the ability OF the Americans on the
Mexican Am erican commission TO as
sist Mexico in its efforts to restore
normal conditions along the frontier,
The Americans were hopeful that
they might yet induce the Mexicans
to agree to what they believe will be
satisfactory plan for the protec-
ton of life and property along the
boundary, but it was indicated by
those in touch with them that fur
her opposition, characterized as
quibbling, would not long be tolera-
ted.
There appeared reason to believe
that unless the chairman of the Mex
lean commission adopted a more trac
table manner, he and his associates
would be informed that further con-
s'deration OF Mexieo's social, econ
onlic and military problems must
come to an end.

VIDAL DISTRICT.

H. E. Davis, the we'll known min
ing engineer OF Los Angeles, who
does examination work for some OF
the most conservative brokerage
houses and technical publications Of
the country, recently made an inves-
tigation Of the Riverside mountain
district, just south of Vidal Mr..
Davis states that this district is
now a scene of great activity. In
speaking Of the district, Mr.. Davis
says:
Il do not know of any district
which, with so little development as
has been done to date, shows so
much promise. The Steece company
is steadily operating and extracting
fine shipping ore; the Calzona is now
constructing ten-stamp mill to ham
die its gold-bearing Cres, and the Bel
digo is preparing to resume a cam
paign OF extensive development. This
latter property is something OF a phe
nomenon, as from little hole 100
feet in depth more than $50 tons OF
copper gold-silver ore has been taken
which netted some S45 per ton.
Work was suspended last summer
both because OF hot weather and be-
cause dt was unable to secure smeE
n
Working faces OF ore have been OPP
ened at several places, and the com
pany is now planning TO drive long
crosscut tunnel in the vein under
meath the hill. to get large backs;
to drive a mainw orking shaft down
500 feet on the Vein, and to prove up
part OF it's ground by means Of core
drilling The property is one OF the
most attractive prospects which ]
have ever examined.
Near this group Of three attrac-
tive properties some splendid gold
various properties, and it appears to
ME that the magnitude Of these finds
will soon attract large working cap
ital to this district WHICH according
to present development, appears to
be more highly mineralized, and mors
neamy a 'pccr mans district than
many of the well-advertised districts
which are now center OF public at
tention.
This district, and the Parker
district just across the Colorado ri
Yer, seem sure for a boom, and to
be we'll worthy much more attention
than they are now receiving. \

STA MPLESS MILL.

OATMAN, Arlz. Nov. l6.-The new
process of treating ore without
Stamps. which it is claimed after de
velopment may be core at 81 per ton
is row in use in the mill OF the Gold
Dust Mines Company IN this camp.
'fuus far, after two days lrtal, it has
been successful. TIE ore is first
crushed ara then passed into a pull
verizer, working on centrifugal
principle. This grinds it to 200-mesh,
and on the first run here it was
found that about % per cent OF 1t
reaches that fineness. The most of
+ reaches l00-mesh the first grind
.ng. After reaching 2O04mesh, which
5 necessary in this camp Oh account
of the extreme fineness of the gold,
it is passed into a centrifugal gold
separator This consists of a revolv-
ing bowl with RIFLES i'm the sides,the
RIFLES beng filled with quicksilver,
which rises by the Whirling motion of
200 revolutions minute. Inside is
is a stationary bowl, which holds the
pulp close to the quicksilver, the dis
tance between being from one-eighth
to one thirty-second of an inch This
forces the finest OF the gold into con-
tact with thequicksilver, which dur
ing the motion plasters the surface

gravity forces the gold through the
quicksilver, and the amalgam thus
formed settles into the RIFLES.

The fact that fewer sick men re-
